  Oo, that's harsh.

  An older brother I knew was deleted as an elder for not kicking his disfellowshipped son to the curb -they didn't disfellowship him though.

  what were *your favorite *books in the organization?.

  out of all of those books, i liked "mankind's search for god.

  " however, it appears to me that this book is incredibly obscure and no one recalls studying it during the old book study format.

  I remember reading some old copy of a Commentary on the Letter of James book and really liking it as well.

  Then other brothers and sisters started telling not to read it because the brother that wrote it was disfellowshipped for apostasy.

  That only made me like it even more.lol.

  here is another jackson's misleading answer, from the transcript of august 14 :.

  25 q. do you accept corporal punishment?

  29 a. not not personally, no, and not as an organisation 30 we don't encourage it.

  Jackson was talking out of his ass for most if not all of that interview.

  Speaking anecdotally (if that counts) every hall I have ever attended and also working in mothers and babies at assemblies I have witnessed the spanking of children, regularly.

  Every born-in I have ever known has admitted to also being spanked as a child.

  It happens. We all know it happens. The GB knows it happens.

  Sister attendants not able to give directions to a brother..Misogyny

  by Theburstbubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at our recent rc i was advised by a sister who was an attendant that they have been advised not to be able to give brothers directions as this should be dealt with by the brothers.

  apparently at the pre-convention attendants meeting, the sisters were asked to stay behind.

  this was when they were given the news that the brothers should deal with brothers.

  Games we shall call: How to survive the RC without fantasizing about blowing your brains out, oh this takes me back!!

  Try this. Roll up tiny bits of torn up paper and see how many you can place on the head of the person in front of you before they shake their head. It helps if they have big hair.

  NY44M - the sisters wearing a t-shirt that shows a map of the convention grounds would solve that problem.

  "The GB are going to circumcise themselves..."

  Get the tweezers and magnifying glasses ready.

  That can't be it the title says it's something big.
