  2. physical

  a few months ago i posted about the dilemna i was facing with my girlfriend and getting reinstated.

  a little under a year ago, both of us were disfellowshipped for sexual immorality.

  while it was difficult, we promised to stick together through it, work our way toward marraige, and eventually return.

  I Have A Problem With the Shepherding Kids article on Cedars Blog

  by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  go ahead and rip me to shredds, been in the elder's backroom sooo many times i'am use to it.. "cedar's blog" is usually really good, but i see a error being created here:.

  "this particular article overtly urges parents to gain access to the minds of their children in order to influence their life decisions.... frequently talking with your children gives you greater access to their thoughts and feelings.

  that, in turn, will help you to have a greater influence on the decisions they make in life.

  today, thanks to a brave do and my colleague elkatire 1980, we make make public the manual, guidelines for traveling overseers (tga-s), of which existence many suspected, but even in english, it wasnt available.. from its very title page, this book indicates in bold letters:.

  it should not be shown to others, nor should any portion of it be reproduced.

  note: for now, this book is only available in spanish, but we are working in translating a brief summary in english, hoping that someone from the english congregations makes it available to you soon.. http://hildeydesa.blogspot.com/2014/06/pautas-para-los-superintendentes.html.

  I used to think that 7 million JWs was a large number

  by dogon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  then i saw a stat that made me think differently.

  there are 7 million practicing voodoo religion world wide.

  about the same as jws, and the big thing is that they do not at all go out and try to convert people at all, not one pamphlet not one tract no door to door calls, phone calls nothing nada.

  Protect the elderly

  by defender of truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this weeks km is telling elders to arrange for group studies with people in local nursing homes, with instructions on how to word things when speaking to the directors etc.. they are clearly trying to get to people who may not be entirely able to think for themselves or who may lack critical thinking and yet may have money to leave to them.. what can you do?.

  well, if you wanted to, write a short and simple letter or email to your local care home, perhaps directly even speak to the director yourself... warn them about the brainwashing and danger of breaking up of families etc.

  the km says they should identify themselves as jw's... .

  2. experiences

  so, one hot beautiful (not a cloud in the sky) kind of summer day, there was an elder who decided to re shingle his house.

  this was on the book study day.

  he started early and got all the shingles off of the roof in time for the book study that night.
