i just heard a fairly reliable rumor that sam herd will be the "guest bethel speaker" at the circuit assemblies at the orangeburg sc assembly hall on january 17-18. .

orangeburg is about halfway between columbia & charleston, assembly hall is right off i-26.. just in case any of y'all want to be enlightened.

Experience in a talk

by Da.Furious in

last week we had an elder giving a talk, cant remember the title.. the thing that was of interest is the experience he gave:.

"a brother who was working in a hospital had to leave his job which was paying him good money because the nurses wanted to sleep with him and they kept putting notes for him on his desk!".

this is not the first time i hear similar experience.

Was that "hospital" really a low budget porn project?

Is the Watchtower Shifting All Financial and Legal Risk to Local Elders, are they 100% liable for Negligence?

by Trailer Park Pioneer in

what is the watchtower organization leaving behind for all the kingdom halls after their done siphoning them dry?

who is going to pay for a lawsuit or damages when some incompetent elders or three are busted for something very bad?

will the watchtower help or leave them alone for the sharks to shred to pieces?

I know the Catholic Church also tried the tactic of not being responsible for the satellite churches they owned. It did not work. Unless headquarters gives a real directive to let the police handle all crimes they will be liable for all the inbetween red tape their internal rules create.

they need to do this.

1: tell the congregation that any crimes confessed to them will be reported to the police.

2: background checks will be mandatory for anyone with any title.

this week's service meeting, the whole 30 minutes, is devoted to the "new songs" foisted upon jws.. note this from paragraph 8 of the km article that is to be considered:.

we will conclude our meeting today with the new song entitled the kingdom is in placelet it come!

this song, which was featured at the recent annual meeting, was specially composed to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of the kingdom.. .

Judge rutherford is rolling in his grave that music was brought back to the Kingdom Halls.

New awake up on jw.org about suicide

by hoser in

they have printed a series of articles about suicide.

.

Jay Elle

I feel very sorry for anyone so desperate to end pain they want to take thier life.

It is really interesting that Sampson was allowed to commit suicide and was still in jehovahs favor. He was in great pain.

I am not advocating suicide just pointing out that it is not a sin...it is a tragedy.

suicide and wts funeral rules

by diamondiiz in

i just found out that a husband of an old friend committed a suicide and i was wondering if there are any letters to elders or any wts rules concerning funerals for those who committed suicide.

i've looked in the elders book and letters to boe index and didn't find anything.

some posts here say they can have the funeral at the kh and some here said they couldn't hold it there because suicide was involved.

Jay Elle

I resurrected this thread/topic of suicide being a sin.

Here is why. Sampson commited suicide when he premeditated his death with the Philistines.

He was in great pain and under stress. So in his desperation he felt better off dead.

He even said, "Let me die with the Philistines"

So as I hear all the time. It is in the Bible so take it up with God.

cheers!

Is the WTS effectively 'pimping out' sisters?

by Simon in

i can't remember the topic with the discussion about the talk where they suggested that sisters should only consider ministerial servants as potential marriage partners but think about the implications more.. are they trying to use the potential affections of sisters to enourage brothers to do more and work harder?.

isn't this a form of 'pimping out' the sisters by limiting their attention to the people contributing to them?.

it seems to cross a line to me but i guess it's not vastly different to "only marry another jw".. what do you think?.

Jay Elle

They can't effectively pimp out theses sisters after restricting them from wearing their girdles
