  Experience in a talk

  by Da.Furious in

  last week we had an elder giving a talk, cant remember the title.. the thing that was of interest is the experience he gave:.

  "a brother who was working in a hospital had to leave his job which was paying him good money because the nurses wanted to sleep with him and they kept putting notes for him on his desk!".

  this is not the first time i hear similar experience.

  How do they get these 50 shades of BS stories?

  Is there a forum section in the mags now.

  Negative forum behavior

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  another good codinghorror blog entry perfectly describes some people's online behaviour and an approach to handling it.

  i'll post part of it below but to summarize, these tend to be behaviours that don't violate any specific rules as such as the people doing it try to carefully skate just up to the line but they are nevertheless disruptive and we're not going to tolerate them on this site.

  if you are here to do these things then this isn't the site for you - move along, find someplace else on the internet to inhabit.. hate is easy to recognize.

  This is a very helpful list. Many that come here (myself included) are forum "virgins" so it can only be a good thing to specifically describe what would be considered "bad form". Thanks.

  "one member of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses repeated the well-known saying: 'to know where we are going, we have to know where we have come from.'".

  you will find this statement on jw.org - under activities - the museum - "a tour through time.

  there jw.org is featuring a slick advertisement for the tour at brooklyn, bethel, of watchtower's museum containing their version of the history of the organization.

  Amen to that!

  While the rest of the world is talking about finding solutions to problems that are actually killing people, JWs are concerned about the color of your socks, the tightness of your pants and that you remain uneducated.

  Is shunning effective?

  by rebel8 in

  1. watchtower

  does shunning accomplish its objectives:.

  make the person repent?.

  deter others from committing similar offenses in the future?.

  I know of several that woke up after being shunned because of DFing or the milder but just as traumatic pre-emptive shunning that can occur when there is a public reproval. 

  So it was effective, just not in the intended way.

  I'd say BroTo figures that the gay guys who invented tight pants went to uni - aka UTP.

  So I'm not sure if he thinks it's a gay conspiracy, a tight pants conspiracy, or a higher ed conspiracy.

  But, if all three are banned that can only be a good thing.

  NEW LIGHT ALERT! TARGET 2015 END TIMES! EVE WAS CREATED 40 YEARS AFTER ADAM! THE END IS NEAR!

  by Trailer Park Pioneer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is going around the kingdom halls now, i thought it was a hoax but are not all the end time dates produced by the organization some hoax or con?

  the reason why the end did not come in 1975 was the watchtower society had not put eve's creation in their equation.

  i was told when we had a "meet and greet" if "we knew the date of eve's creation we would know the year jehovah was going to destroy the earth.. it's been 40 years since 1975, can you believe it's been 40 years since "stay alive till 1975!"?

  Adam could have saved us all a helluva lot of time if he had of just named all the furry animals "fluffy" all the reptiles "fang" and all the fish "nemo"!
