does any other religion teach this 2 tier system---the 144 k being a literal number ?

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.

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.

a friend of mine--an ex jw----ive known her since she was a baby. shes late 40's now.
she was d/f'd in her late teens for sexual misconduct. apparently the elders made her describe--in graphic detail---her private behaviour.
this cannot be right--surely?
are there any written instructions from the watchtower society as to how these elders conduct these hearings--? what questions are required ? does any one know ?

Could you be more specific or elaborate a bit more stan ?

Child Abuse - "I don't care. I haven't got any children".
by cofty inearlier this week i bumped into a couple of jws who i recognised from the cult cart.
a few months ago i had a long conversation with him one of them and found him to be quite friendly.
he is new to the area in the years since i left.. this time he was very defensive and said he wasn't allowed to talk to me.

They think if they stick their hear further in the sand it will go away.

when i first joined this site 5 years ago there was a regular contributor who claimed to be of the annointed--even though she had left the cult. go figure. i wonder if she still reads these threads. -

over the last few years since i joined this site--and the wonderful world of ex jws--ive come across a fair number of females who have escaped the cult. A high number of them have all manner of illnesses--both physical and mental----that i had never heard of before. coincidence =-or what ? -

i think--if truth be told--most born in kids learn to hate the cult----and only go along with it out of economic necessity. the majority leave sooner or later. -

Yet more trolley (in)activity
by konceptual99 ini am currently having to spend a little time waiting for an appointment in the vicinity of a central london station.

i mis-read the name first time i saw it-----land Rover baptist. obviously a humerous scam---or is it ?
surely not another cult-in-a-can from the land of the free / coke/ macdonalds / KFC etc.

in my village the kult kart is on display in the main shopping street several days a week. recently i noticed a somewhat amorphous lump standing guard over it--and she looked familiair---i slowly realised its my ex wife !! not seen her for years .
then--just last week--an altogether prettier young lady was in attendance--who also looked vaguely familiar--i think it was one of my grandaughters -----but i thought better than just walking up to her--i was carrying a large bottle of cheap cider at the time-----just didnt look good.
