How would they know? Don't under-estimate how intrusive elders will be when they decide they have the right to know. This isn't a sterilization story, but I was in a cong in Aberdeenshire, and the elders did not permit Scottish brothers to wear nothing under their kilts. At the KH they kept a mirror taped to the end of a long stick, and if a kilted brother turned up, he was made to stand over the mirror to prove whether or not he was wearing under-pants. No joke.

Can JW's get themselves sterilized?
by Splash incan you be sexually sterilised?no, it is absolutely wrong - w59 7/1 p. 416 questions from readers.
however, it is absolutely wrong for a person to think that in order to stay free for the kingdom service and avoid family responsibilities in the way of children he is justified in getting himself sexually sterilized.. .
no, it is harmful - w61 12/1 p. 735 questions from readers.

Hey Li'l Abner, methinks you refer to pions; you know a quark + anti-quark. Pions are elite and can only exist for a short time, which is probably why they morph into Sneers, a conglomerate particle which has been observed in many congs. Easy to reproduce if handled from infancy.

Quantum physics does not rule out the existence of time travel, so theoretically time need not be linear. If I knew how to put a web-site name up for you to click on, I would do it, but I don't so use a search engine and look up Lorentzian Wormholes, also Einstein-Rosen bridge. Live long and prosper.

The little beasties have natural predators too : frogs, toads, geckos, iguanas, the human foot.

Hey StAnn, do you remember the scene in Jaws where they were comparing their scars?.....Well...does anyone else remember, back in the 70s, a KM item, encouraging baptized teenagers to regular pioneer while still at school? This was in the days when RPs did 100 hours per month. The item said that a child could do 3hrs per week day plus 5 hours on both Sat+Sun.
I was 14 in 1972 and of course Armageddon was just around the corner. I was made to get baptized and then I was made to RP. I had 2 hrs homework per day but if I was caught doing it, my schoolbooks ( written by the devil of course) were thrown in the bin, I was beaten + sent out on the work. My female parent wanted to have the first RP child in Britain. I kept it up for a couple of months and then cracked. After that I falsified my report forms + took it for granted that Jehovah was going to kill me when I was 17. It feels amazing to get that off my chest now!

When you find out for the first time that elders will lie their heads off to cover up their own mistakes, it is a shattering experience. When you find out that " higher-ups" don't give a damn...well, that pulverizes the little bits of you that are left. I am not surprised that Meadows was emotional, we expect decency and fair play from those taking the lead amongst us. Some elders have become the society's yes-men and they talk politician-speak. I think the apostle Paul made a mistake when he did not include a minimum IQ as a pre-requisite for older men.
Jehovah always cleans up his org, but he let's things become egregious first. Many are serving an org rather than a God. All of this will one day hit the fan and there will be a modern day Babylonian Exile; so DO continue serving Jehovah on your own if need be. He is your only judge and he can see the heart of you. Sadly, you are not alone, on the other hand, happily, you are not alone.

Watchtower Memorial Day makes local UK newspaper
by TableForOne ina tragic, but honest, story.
well written, in my opinion.. i'd like to see how the local jw's would handle this being mentioned to them this saturday morning in the ministry.. it's just a shame it's only a local newspaper, not a national.. www.bucksherald.co.uk/news/more-news/former-jehovah-s-witness-leaves-memorial-to-family-who-shunned-her-1-6206648.

My eldest brother, mother and step-father are in this cong. They, of course, are completely po-faced about it because the lady in question had married out of the truth after a failed marriage to a brother. I'm repeating what I was told...don't know for sure. My brother just made a sarcastic comment, which made me want to slap him with a wet flounder. What is wrong with these people?

Anyone before Jacob (Israel) was technically not an Israelite, because the term had not really been invented; so the Tablet of Adam, Shem and so forth were penned ( chiselled) by non-Jews, if not actual Gentiles. These are mentioned in the Bible.

Not on JW.org : Question for Jehovah's Witnesses elders: If pants have Pagan origins, is DENIM demonized ?
by Balaamsass2 ina yound sister was severely counciled by the elders for wearing a denim "jean skirt" to the hall last year.
she left with tears in her eyes and never returned.. for the last 50 years denim jeans have been banned at the brooklyn bethel breakfast table.. i understand denim jeans are banned even by tourists visiting beth ell.
billy explained the pants situation in past posts.. so my questions are: what other instances are there of denim bans by watchtower ?

Denim was originally made with cannabis hemp fibre....perhaps they are worried people will get stoned by extension.
