An elder, Chief MD in Honolulu clinic goes door to door. Testimony given at JW convention
by AndersonsInfo inhttp://www.pressreader.com/usa/honolulu-star-advertiser/20150725/281848642300889/textview.
it sounds to me like he was a jw before he became a physician.
"kalauawa, who became a jw 31 years ago, said he had to overcome a major conflict between his religious and professional beliefs, because jws are opposed to blood transfusions.

As we were told by someone...."if a person decides to go to college to pursue an education and the education is used for Kingdom interests, it's ok." Really? BS! In other words..."if the org can benefit off your education, it's ok. We don't buy it! If your education can benefit you and your family, it's perfectly ok.
The hypocrisy is unbelievable!

How Far Apart Were Your Legs?
by Joe Grundy inseveral threads on here about the excellent bbc r4 programme this week ('the report') focussing on rape and abuse in barry, south wales, jws.
fat pervert mark sewell later got 14 years and i hope he is enjoying every minute of it.. the courageous ladies who spoke on the programme were articulate, reasonable and made a tremendous impression.. the quote in the thread title made an impression on me, and i hope, on all listeners.. forget religious, theological, 'biblical' issues and cut to the basics.
a rape victim was asked to demonstrate - to demonstrate, ffs - to three unqualified (middle-aged at least, presumably) men just how far her legs were apart when she was raped.. i have rarely heard anything so outrageous, and i used to investigate rape and abuse in my profession.

One of our children asked us the other day if we thought things in the borg would ever change.
My answer was: "As long as Men are in judgement in others lives, things would never change."
Some of the Elders are really sick individuals. I think the Elders who are really disturbed by the actions of some of these sickos are the ones who step down and leave.

Once the new resort @ Warwick opens up they will lock that thing up tighter than a drum! Then they will send all the little workers they "used" back to the "field." -

Whatever Happened to the Remnant?
by snugglebunny inback in the 50's, when i was just a skinny kid, my father became po of a new congregation.
he'd only been baptised for around 4 years, so his rise was quite remarkable.just one of his flock in the new cachement area was of the "remnant".
this lady was well into her 60's, childless but married.

We were told as children, "never question peoples claim that they were of the annointed." Now they are calling ones mentally diseased if they claim to be of this class. Trying to figure these things out just makes my head hurt. -

Typical brain dead Jw. "Not my problem." They think if they stick their hear further in the sand it will go away. We see it in our family, as most here do. So frustrating! -
