  Did You Ever Get Hit On By An Elder?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the organization stresses to elders to be careful with members of the opposite sex.

  never be alone with a sister whether it be in field service or paying a visit by means of a shepherding call.

  do you know of any elders that flirted or were overly “touchy” with females?

  https://www.patheos.com/blogs/thefreethinker/2019/10/op-ed-intruders/.

  here are some excerpts of a man who was called on by 2 young female jws, received a not-at-home letter as well, and what he thought about them.

  i encourage you to read the whole thing, it is worth the laugh.. "it wasn’t pompeo knocking but he would have beamed approval on the two young women on the doorstep.

  Shortly after a friend's husband had died she got a letter and a brochure from a local witness. She called us immediately and asked us how did they know her husband had died and was wondering if she was in danger. We claimed her down and let her know their are ones who are encouraged to read the obituaries in the newspaper and send a letter with wt.literature in it. Hoping to start a bible study with ones who are at their weakest due to lost of a love one. She thought that was horrible for what they were doing.

  She was also scared they would be knocking on her door stalking her. We told her not to worry this person consider this as part of her ministry and it was easy time for this person and we felt you will never hear from her again. Just throw this letter away and forget about it. She really felt this act was really sick. This is what my wife and I saw first hand. Great topic blondie. Still Totally ADD

  Here in Jamestown ny a local kingdom hall was sold to the Pentecostal church on Hunt and Southwestern. Nothing new about kingdom halls being sold to churches. For the Borg if the Money is green we don't care about who buy's it. Still Totally ADD

  Boys pre-teen sexuality / erections.? Why ? If only for procreation ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. social
  2. family

  this has been a bug bear my whole life i think and not really sure how to address it as nobody else ever seems to do so.. and it relates to the question if god really created humans .

  he did a shithouse job in this regard.. i can`t speak for females this is entirely a male thing.

  from my perspective.. male adolescents at a very ,very young age , babies , get erections periodically and it has nothing to do with sexual fantasies ,because they don`t even have an awareness of sex between a male and a female at this time.. and it is second inbuilt nature to masturbate to relieve, get rid of the erection .

  The answer to your question is yes, yes and yes. It was hell as a child. Exposed to sex perverts to people who should have been in a mental hospital. My dad took it hook, line and sinker because of his hate for religion. He felt he had special knowledge that on one else had. He couldn't wait to see everyone killed by the big A. So happy I am out with my witts or am I. Lol. Still Totally ADD

  Let's see. 1 Mother, 1 Brother , 1 Son, 1 Daughter-in-law, 2 Grandchildren. Except for the Grandchildren the rest are very toxic when it came to relationships in the past. Now it is very, very peaceful. My greatest hope is my Son wakes up someday. Still Totally ADD

  I am still like a little kid when it comes to Christmas. After all the first Christmas I celebrated I was 54 years old. Anyway my wife and I will be going to Virginia Beach to our youngest son family's house. Plus he has invited another X-JW family for Christmas. It should be alot of fun. The biggest problem we have is what gifts do you get for our three grandchildren ages 4-13 years old. Oh what fun when the biggest worry is that.

  With our son friends coming we may have a little apostate gathering for Christmas. Lol. For all those on this board my hope is you all have a peaceful and joyfull holiday. Still Totally ADD

  Another one bites the dust

  by stillin in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a close-by young brother, actually your basic, garden-variety, sexually-repressed, 40-year old virgin in the congregation has been charged with sexual misconduct with a minor.

  i've known this guy since he was a kid and he has always been strange, in a nerdy kind of way.

  he always wants to sound knowledgeable and wise when he comments at meetings, but i think he is bi-polar and depressed about who he is in life.

  I kind of believe the ancient God's were ancient aliens from another planet. I mean fiery flying chariots, wheels inside wheels spinning and ladders going up to heaven. All these make believe God's are nothing more but things the ancients saw but only explain them in ways they could understand. Still Totally ADD

  what unique to jws phrases do you remember?

  something fun for those of us taught to speak an entirely unique and pure language.

  there have been posts in the past in this forum but perhaps some have new ones after having kept up with jehovah's chariot as the light gets brighter.
