The thread was locked eariler as it wasn't going to go anywhere useful and was going to just cause more bad feeling - there was fault on both sides IMO
Please lets not get off topic here and make this thread into something else.
Thanks

Would Elders You Knew Have Ordered Stonings If They Could Have?
by Cold Steel infor those of you who used to be jws, or who are active, if the society was in charge of the earth, how many people do you think you would have seen stoned during your lifetimes?
i realize some elders can be zealous about their work, but if they'd actually had administrative authority to have kh members stoned to death, how many elders did you know who would have been zealous enough to really order them?.
did you know any elders who would have ordered stonings, even if the condemned people had been willing to repent?.

Don't be fooled, dear one: that same "stone 'em" mentally now exists right here on good ol' JWN. Never did before. But post that you can hear the voice of the Fine Shepherd (John 10:3, 4, 16, 27; Hebrews 12:25)... and then wait for the pelting. I assure you... it will come, and quickly.
Indeed: 10... 9... 8...
Give it a rest Shelby - you seem to be going out of your way to bring things on yourself sometimes (not all the time) neither side is innocent here, but the type of comment above does not help at all - I am not going to let another thread get derailed into a "voice" debate. It is also disappointing to see what you really think of this forum, we have bent over backwards to keep things under control when there was alot of unfair bullying being thrown your way, but comments like the one above seem to imply that you want it to continue.

My Humble Opinion of This Forum
by turtleturtle infirst off, i love frequenting this forum.
it has given me the opportunity to truly put jw stuff to the test and i thank everyone for their helpful responses.. however, i have noticed a couple things.. 1) the use of the word "troll" is completely childish.
this is no different than the name calling used by jws (e.g.

Pet peeves of mine - Troll labeling, why can't we give people the benefit of the doubt, if someone is a troll they will show themselves up, there is no need to start a "troll clock" based off a couple of first posts.
Also if someone comes on the forum and mentions that they are still and active JW and still believe some of the teachings - we do not need the "Have you told the elders you are posting here" type of questions, for an active person coming here and posting is a huge step and is probably very scary but it could be the start of their exit - they do not need to be told they are doing something wrong and shouted down because they may still hold onto some of the beliefs which happens occassionally.

Exercise classes always motivate me more - I find just going to the gym to work out on the treadmill so boring and I don't push myself but if you are in a class you tend to work harder. I recently started going to a Zumba class, it's a great cardio workout but fun and doesn't feel like the usual chore of working out.

The pitch invasion at Manchester Maine Road - they were selling off the flowers on the last day, one minute there was an orderly line the next someone ran up to the front and start grabbing all the flowers and this started a trend, it turned into absolute chaos with people just running up to the front and grabbing anything they could - by the time it was finished everyone in the stands had stopped talking and was just watching what was going on on the pitch , there were trampled flowers everywhere. Very embarrassing !

We don't want to promote Rick and his sensationalism even indirectly here, as people have said before it damages all the work others are doing.

lol, yes, I am familiar with their military jobs. It's a GREAT public relations exercise
So if they did nothing except be royal and sit on their arse and attend galas and parties etc they would be criticized, but if they work difficult, skilled and dangerous jobs its all a public relations stunt - seems like they can't win whatever they do !
