a relative of mine was telling me, that in his, and a few neighboring congregations, there is a little confusion amongst some of the jw's about this "issue".
some families are having a hard time about whether certain relatives will be attending certain family functions, because some family members that are no longer in the "truth", might be invited to these functions.
mind you, these persons were never disfellowshipped.
Thank you for allowing me that joke
Seriously,
It is like the old West
If the Sheriff can't arrest you in town (within the elders' range)
Then all brothers and sisters are deputized as judge and executioner
Shunning you at will
Cool (sarcasm)
Aren't you glad the secular justice system doesn't work like this lol

Yes,
Watched Cedars video on the convention
And it's quite apparent
That if you are a renegade

Will hunt you down

when i was exiting (clawing my way out) i read a tremendous amount of personal.
accounts on the jw recovery page which sadly closed, .
i would like to offer an opportunity for any who would like, to say a few words on .
Schnell: Me too as my folks were jdubs but then again it was also due to
the fact that the malt liquor made my Dad particularly randy that
night

I would also like to say thank-you to all, what you write has been a great source of

which world is this?_________________when the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.it was--compared to today's world--an alien planet.. the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.. there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.
everywhere you found telephone booths!
a call was a nickle.where did all those telephone booths go?i dunno.where did my whole world go?i dunno.. tv sets were huge boxes with tubes and small screens.
Thank-you Terry for the ride,
I'm not far behind,

my wife has been trying to convince me that the organization is hinting at the possibility of making some older sisters ministerial servants.
she is awake to a lot of the false doctrines, but is still clinging to the hope that the org may become more progressive in the future.
anyone else pick up on this?
All this problem according to Paul was because Eve was "deceived"
In view of her crime then, no woman should ever be involved in food
preparation,
Because all the world's troubles
Are a result of Eve serving bad fruit

We already told you Mister Smiddy
only ONE question
Now take your prune juice
AND GO TO BED!!
:(
it is an often asked question i know, but it perplexes me.. if witnesses are so convinced that they have "the truth", why is the act of researching information from external sources so taboo?
didn't the bible itself tell people to "use their powers of reason" and also praised ones like the boreans for researching things they were told??.
seriously, if there is no doubt about the organization being "god's channel" on earth, and it alone having the "truth", surely researching would only enhance such 'facts'?.

eurgh!
more patronizing and uninformed reasoning from the "experts" at bethel.
this time tackling the sensitive subject of those attracted the the same sex.
Steve2:
Because they are written by people with no real education,
Or experience,
But wait,
They do know the Bible,
Oh yeah,
I already covered that
