"So I think there is a case to be made under which the elders sit together and reprimand people, trying to get them to change."
It's about Shira law in Britain. It sounded very familiar when I read it.

i got a phone call from a person that i gave my phone # to.
and this person said that gays are not welcome here and this is not what this board was really about.
i told them that this is only one part of the crap that the wts did to people and that we are people too.
Sorry guy. Thanks for letting us know, and personally think that you should tell the moderators who did this. I really don't like spending my time with a person who feels this way.
Many of us here enjoy your posts.
Bryan... of the, Wish I was a lesbian class...
my wife and i (and of course not our two sons because they are df'ed) got invited over to my mother and father-in-laws place for dinner last night.
at first, i wasn't going to go, and then i thought....well this might be fun.
btw, i knew that pretty much all of the family was going to be there, including two elders...my father in law, and my brother in law...both brain dead "true believers.
Priceless!
well in the bible it says said by jesus christ himself... that "the true religion will be the relgion everyone despises and hates.".
is this not the relgion of jehovahs witnesses?..
look in the bible itself it says in john 15:18-19. jesus says, "if the world hates you, you know it has hated me before it has hated you.
Witnesses only think they are hated by everyone. Anytime I tell my story, most all people have no idea what the Witnesses believe and couldn't care less.
Actually, I believe that the Jews would be the most hated persons on the earth. Just my view.

well its all happend, got to the hosp early friday morning, had my waters broken at around 7:30am had to wait for an hour and a half to see if labour would begin naturally, it didnt so at 9am i was hooked up to the drip, man that was intense, put it to you this way, blakes labour was about 8 hours all up kaia's labour was 3 hours and i would rather go through the 8 hour one anyday.. it was a very short labour, kaia was born a bit shocked as it happend so fast so she was rushed up to nursery for a bit as she was purple and not breathing properly but after an hour on oxygen she was fine, me on the other hand had to be stitched up coz pushing a 9 pound 1 baby out naturally with no drugs does damage heheh, then i had to be hooked up to a drip for 4 hours as i lost a bit of blood.
but once we were all sorted it was all good.
she is doing so well we are at home now, she is beautiful and very content.
Hey... That's great!!!
9lbs. 1oz. No drugs?!
No man is that tough!

when i was four, i believed that my life could be painfully and tortuously taken from me, in a ball of flame, crashing down from the heavens, just while i sitting down to a bowl of oatmeal in the morning.. when i was nine, i believed that my life, as i then knew it, would be drastically altered, that i would be tortured for being a jw, and after suffering for who knows how long, i would die (because i still hadn't lived up to jehovah's expectations).. when i was 13, i wanted to be a nuclear physicist-because it sounded cool, but in the meantime i believed that i would die in armageddon because i wanted to go to college, get really educated, and have a great, "worldly" life.. when i was 15, i felt guilty that i hoped armageddon would never come, because i so desperately wanted to go to college.. when i was 17, i was offered an honors early admissions in a prestigious program in a highly regarded engineering program.
my mother flat out said, "no!".
when i was 18, i scuttled semi-secretly to the local university, part-time, trying to hide my daily activities without actually lying to anyone.. when i was 19 i quit pretending and disassociated.
Congrats!

my poor guy is crabbier than hell.
i have kept him well fed, but it doesn't seem to do the trick.
i am calling on all men out there to tell me what to do and i know sex is an answer too, but is there anything in addition to this you guys wish for when work/life is stressing you out?.
Both rich food and sex can cure a cranky man.

its richie again.. i was thinking last night about my inevitable, fast approaching exit from the wtbts.
i guess that out of common courtesy, i will provide a copy of my disassociation letter to my mother, however, it is nothing more than a baptism nullification / gag order / i'll sue all of you letter.
its not one of those lengthy numbers that some have chosen to write.
Richie,
I thinks it's a great idea. Nice that you think so much of her and not hate her for raising you in the Tower. That said, I'd be really surprised if she took anything you write to heart. Not that she doesn't love you, just that she sounds so Towertized. Seeing that you are leaving the borg she probably will consider antthing you write to be apostate and evil. I think it's a great idea, just realize it may happen.
Best,
Bryan
.this "new world scene " is from p 190 of the "bible teach " book dated 2005.. it is just a joke.
they have transformed their key belief into a cartoon type kiddies scene.
is there no thought of child safety?
"Death will be no more"... remember? The angels will save your child from an elephant STOMP!
And look at MOMMA! Four kids and she still looks great! Must be the yogart.
As well, I suppose everyone trades in their jeans and polo shirts for middle eastern wear?!
