The game itself may well be innocent in the hands of innocent people, but it's not the innocent we need to be concerned about, it's the undetected pedophile that sees an opportunity to ask children to play dress-ups- just like Jehovah does. Pedophiles don't think like normal people, and making undressing a game to children is a recipe for disaster in my opinion.

Why the Clean out of top Management
by Poztate init has been commented here that "soon" the do's will be history.
the co level will be "retired" at age 70 and the latest development was that the cobe can not serve after age 80. it would seem that there is a "cull" of top management.
in secular companys that would signal a radical change of directions ???.

So is the jury in on this yet, are they becoming more cult-like since this post from 7 months ago?
GBTV is definitely here.

If you're bothered by god murdering innocent children, you must have a "critical heart"
by OneEyedJoe inthis week's book study contains this gem:.
the way in which the bible is written serves to test what is in our heart.
hebrews 4:12 says: the word [or, message] of god is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit .

When elders approach you.....how do you/did you respond?

I'm not at meetings anymore, but there have been several unannounced home visits asking for a "chat". I just decline politely by saying
" oh, thanks for thinking of me, but that wont be necessary, maybe I could come by and have a coffee with you at your place......"
I haven't heard from that elder since then.

Governing Body Helpers ----- Who are they? Are they future GB in the making?
by adjusted knowledge inso after nearly 15 to 19 years of not attending a convention, i can't recall exactly, i went to one last year.
the brother giving the talk was from bethel and was introduced as a helper of the governing body.
it was a title i never heard of before.

The term Helper to the GB always made me think of these buff guys wearing togas and carrying large bowls of grapes and jugs of wine. -

Is shunning a common religious punishment for reporting sexual abuse (or other crimes)?
by Fernando inin other words, is it true that the watchtower is just like other religions when it comes to cover-ups?.
from personal experience (with incest and doctrinal/financial fraud) in the watchtower i would say so.. especially when i compare stories like the one i read today:.
"its impossible to know how many women have been raped by jewish men.

There were cover ups in my hall too. And yes the elders went around personally silencing the whistle blowers,
with ultimatums of recant or suffer the consequences. How any man with a working conscience can remain an elder is beyond me.

Typical, if you refuse to join in the chorus of "yay, Jehovah killed all those faithless assholes" then YOU are the one with a bad heart.

Rasputin and Serums and Herbs--Oh My!
by rebel8 ini have written a blog post about the dubs and their scorn of modern medicine and rasputin, while simultaneously touting unproven, dangerous cures.. i wonder what it is about a fake remedy that makes jws believe in it or scorn it?.

There is a very scary sister in the cong I was attending who would drink small amounts of hydrogen peroxide for five days, every month, to "cleanse" her system. She would look very weak, pale and unwell during this time and would make a big show of it, claiming that "you have to feel worse for a while in order to get the benefits" . She strongly recommended this and many other kooky home remedies, even recommending people give up all their prescritpion meds. She had quite a following amongst the hypochondriacs. She is an elder's wife.
IMO this woman is dangerous.
