  He told me Bethel was first, the congregation second.

  Not that only he thought that was the case. Those were the instructions everyone received.

  I wish I had talked with him before feeling forced....

  CoCo, my heart goes out to you. I agree with you, and if you were having issues with some people there -or the system, he had the power to help you. -People up there listened to him and did what he said, even unwillingly ( without going into details.)

  He was a meat eater and one of his personal views about the lamb and wolf eating together in the Isaiah prophecy was that it referred to personalities and not literal animals. I thought it was funny.

  How Long it will take to the GB change the interpretation of the Beast as the UN?

  by Ray Frankz in

  i just realized now, (ironically by checking on jw.org) that the echr (european court of human rights), the government agency that has been literally saving the jws to be banned in so many countries - and they are very thankful for that, as they say in their recent purple history book - is an agency of the un!.

  as it is well known, the gb consider the un as a high-class enemy of god's kingdom, believing it is the beast mentioned in revelation.

  this interpretation was totally from f. franz and n. knorr, this last one still being reagarded every now and then as the one who gave the speech with this "new light".

  Spain and Germany were very hospitable to Jews for many years until they turned on them like a pet lion or chimpanzee turns on their human friends.

  Last nights CLAM meeting

  so hadn't been to a clam meeting in quite a few months, but went last night.

  so we learned that gog of magog is not satan as previously believed.

  they used a few scriptures that made it clear that it couldn't be satan and that it would be a coalition of nations.

  Beginning of vid showed a drawing resembling the Kremlin. The vids -more than one- being shown over and over again are suggesting something about the great tribulation. But it seems they are actually for the Russian JW who are actually experiencing what is being the depicted on the vids with the troops.

  Sis AK story is in the awake. But she was small in stature and thin and not a beauty of a female -typical jw female in personality. She remarried (Even at her age!) after NHK died. I think she went upstate - WT farms or something. I don't remember anything remarkable about her except that she always was at NHK side (nice person though.) When he passed, I don't remember seeing her again. There was another dude dressed in green called "the frog" who stood in front of 124 apostizising and he had it in for bro NHK. He also disappeared when NHK died. My heart went out to those that worked in the laundry, especially the sisters. It was an oven down there. Those fans didn't help.

  Also, not disrespect to ML's abilities and leadership.

  Reference:

  "However, suppose a Christian has secretly viewed abhorrent, sexually degrading pornography for years and has done everything possible to conceal this sin. Such pornography might feature gang rape, bondage, sadistic torture, ......When others become aware of his conduct, he is deeply ashamed. He has not been brazen, but the elders may determine that he has ‘given himself over’ to this filthy habit and has practiced ‘uncleanness with greediness,’ that is, gross uncleanness. A judicial committee would be formed because gross uncleanness is involved..... " From the "WT online library" copyright WTBTS.

  and he reports this to an elder, such matters can generally be handled according to the direction in

  Does not not require that he must turn himself in.

  which might include child pornography, sadistic torture, bondage, gang rape, or the brutalizing of women, this would disqualify him from serving

  The person should not be serving whether or not his conduct is known. He should step aside because he is serving in a disqualified state.

  Your quote from the letter (?) says no JC, but your comment says it would be a JC??

  The latest information after 2006 says that a JC would be required if he gets caught or if it becomes known, for watching as a practice over a long time: sadistic sex, sex involving more than 2, same sex sex, and worse. Whereas, if a person actually commits sexual immorality, a JC is required and such person must turn himself whether it is known or not.

  We all like a bit of bondage.....

  Not all. Some people are actually appalled by non consensual sex between 2 adults whether real or fantasy, or anything else that degrades or harms anyone consensual or not.

  No, it was Queens. It wasn't you then. But what a coincidence; at the same time you came, I saw someone exactly like you. I mean same as your avitar -glasses and all. I was driving too, facing the other way. I wanted to yell out the window: "Hey Dub, it's Fish!" But decided against it because at a split second decided it just couldn't be you as the light changed. This happened last week. If it had been you, you would have been the 3rd person I ran into by striking coincidence within the last couple of months.

  "Homeboy", your style of writing and narrative is enjoyable to read. Few here though like sparky and some others can truly relate to and feel your story -like being stuck at a job with no job change and seeing yourself there for 4 or 5 years was very depressing for some.
