  StarTrekAngel Can anyone tell me which bible verses they use to allow divorce because of "spiritual danger"?

  They don't for divorce, only for legal separation. Of course this puts both at high risk of committing adultery and when that happens, then there IS "scriptural" grounds for divorce.

  My introduction and confession

  well another big bad elder here just wanting to say sorry.. i'm sorry that so many were treated like crap, and shown that god's love is not to be found around jehovah's witnesses.

  i'm sorry that inadvertently i've likely taught many to judge and as such see that racism permeates every corner of the jw world, else why else would someone be of the world, or even inactive.

  i'm sorry i sat in on a jc, and voted to df.

  Un-elder yourself. It can be done very easy. You already know the ropes. From there you can proceed as you see fit. Serving is something you volunteer for and is not required. You will be surprised at how much better you will feel without everybody's problems nagging you all the time. More time for the people you love who really love you, your family. Wish you the best!

  This happened to my grandfather years ago and he had issues with it off and on for several years. My grandmother read about a simple way to treat it in "Prevention" magazine. I don't remember all the details but I remember him taking Niacin in increasing small amounts until he felt itchy and hot. Then he took the exact same amount on a daily basis of Niacimide (buffered niacin). He never had a problem with it after that unless he forgot to take his Niacimide for a period of time. He was eventually diagnosed with Ménière's disease.

  Back then ('70s) it was unheard of but today many supplements contain niacin in the form of niacimide (B3). This is not a diagnosis but rather a suggestion on where to start your research. Also like stated many time above, go to your doctor.

  Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act

  by Oubliette in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  in light of anthony morris' latest propaganda piece, i thought it might be informative for members of our community to see what is typically required of mandated reporters.

  here is what a credentialed teacher in the state of california must agree to as part of their licensing and credentialing.

  (this is a requirement of both initial credentialing as well as renewals).

  The OP also applies to classified staff at California schools. Our maintenance staff was also required to take online training/testing and sign paperwork concerning the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act as part of our employment contract.

  We were told that if we become aware of a situation to not even report to our supervisors but go straight to the authorities and were given all the necessary contact information. I didn't see the wt legal dept. on the list... lol.

  What started me on the path to waking up about the lies the WT teaches?

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was a simple question: isn't jesus my "mediator" if i put faith in him like the scriptures say?

  the research to that answer, from the w79 4/1 p. 31, was mind blowing.

  how dare they deny me a belief firmly stated in the scriptures?

  For me it was a culmination of things but the two most for me was CoC and the Generation teaching. Of course many things became crystal clear the less involved I was in jw activities. I was stunned when I examined the 607 baloney. Londo did it for me, and it was fun to use the astronomy app to boot!

  I almost walked away in 02 after the dateline show. Not because of the show itself but how the elders in our cong were handling it ( and expected me to follow suite) telling the cong it was apostate lies because no sister would be allowed to wear a pant suit at bethel! I asked them if they realized that Barbara Anderson was no longer at bethel when the interview was taken. Just got the deer in the headlights look from the boe. At that time I came to the conclusion it was just the mentally challenged elders in my congregation... little did I know.

  Lieu2 days ago He's one of the many shareholders of WTBTS stock. Most don't realize the WTBTS is listed on the NASDAC like any other corporation & that many shareholders are not JW.

  Any referances to back up that statement?

  Nothing listed here:
