  WHY are there no mentally challenged new JW's...?

  by Rabbit in

  i was wondering -- why so many churches (even with all there own faults) seem to have social programs, where they help support the poor, and homeless?

  many -- welcome mentally slow or retarded people into their churchs...why not witnesses?

  i once got an answer that, "jehovah knows their hearts and will keep them safe in the end.

  In the few congregations I've been in, believe me, there are plenty of mentally challenged, retarded, whatever you want to call them. In short, plenty of nuts in there; why bring in more?!

  Also, lots of depressed and mentally unstable people too. You know, that's really one of the big turn offs for me.

  Call me what you will. I can be in a group where there's 1 or 2 crazy ones, but when it seems that the loonies outnumber the normal individuals, now there's a problem there and I won't stick around to see it solved.

  Elder cleared of fondling By CP

  BRANDON, Man. -- Gordon Watson has been found not guilty of sexually assaulting an elderly hospital patient after a judge ruled a photo lineup used to identify Watson unfairly highlighted him as a suspect. The 42-year-old former Jehovah's Witness elder broke down in tears and embraced family members following Judge Krystyna Tarwid's decision on Wednesday.

  "As you can see, I am very relieved this is over," Watson said outside court after the decision. "I want to get on with my life. The past year and a half has been terrible for our family. Our life has been ruined here. Our home used to be in Brandon but is no longer here because we were kicked out of the city, because of the media, unfortunately."

  ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT

  Watson was accused of sexually assaulting a 76-year-old woman as she was lying in her hospital bed at the Assiniboine Health Centre on Aug. 3, 2002.

  The woman said a man walked into her room, identified himself as a doctor and proceeded to open her housecoat and kiss her breasts.

  The woman, who described her attacker as well groomed and nattily attired, later picked Watson's photo from a police photo lineup including seven other pictures.

  Is the Wt bursting at the seams with$ billions?

  by fearnotruth22 in

  it is true that the society owns 10'0s of millions of $ to say the least in real estate, and monetary funds used to run the org.

  but can anyone substantiate that the wt has billions of dollars in moneys such as cash in bank accounts, in stocks?.

  if so, how does the wt justify having all of that wealth while most of humanity is in dire need?

  The WTBTS has plenty, plenty, plenty of $$$. This is why they ain't getting anymore from me.

  I'll just contribute a very small amount locally, and this just because utility bills need to get paid, but nothing else!

  i am a lurker on the "witness world" witnesses-only website.

  they are having a discussion because someone during door-to-door service confronted them with the un letter.

  they are all saying that it is "obviously made up"... but the person is planning on writing to the society to ask.

  Eyeswideopen,

  I'm still inside the Organization, in somewhat shady standing because I miss a lot meetings, turn in the lowest service possible, and other than immediate family really don't socialize with any of my so called 'brothers and sisters in the Truth religious organization'.

  This is all part of a very slow lengthy fade. I really need to keep the lines of communications open with my nice parents and husband, so this is the way it must be for now.

  I'm not justifying any awful behavior. Just don't blame God for things he had nothing to do. Plain and simple.

  Pedophile is Slain in VA Prison

  i rarely post on this subject simply because i don't have the experience to generate or fully understand the intense emotions that come along with child abuse.

  i have noticed some recent threads about proper punishment for a pedophile.

  and today i saw an interesting article in the washington post today so i thought i would share it.

  19; but didn't learn to really enjoy it 'til my mid 20s. Kind of a pretty late bloomer in that respect, and many other respects for that matter.

  Aztec,

  In your JW story you posted the following:

  "When I was almost 19 I met a "worldly" guy who I decided immediatly that I liked. I snuck out of my parents house to go on a date with him. The date turned out badly because he took my back to his house and raped me. I won't go into details but it was a very bad experience and destroyed any faith I had in a god."

  Help me understand how God was supposed to protect you after committing such indiscretion?!

  9 times out of 10 we bring about our own problems and God hasn't a darn thing to do with it.
