Hi Lady Lee.. I agree with tonites show.. The talent is amazing..It always seems to me that the talent on Canadian Idol is so much better than most of the talent on American Idol..(no offense to American talent).

the upper floor was not damaged, but the smell of smoke might linger.

So true lost light.. Dubs will twist and turn events like this to prove they are Jehovah's only true chosen people.And the PO used that same expression "sign of the times" that they have been using since I attended in the 1970's and early 80's..Really how does a fire in the KH prove anything about a sign or the times we live in???

How Jehovah's Witnesses are told to treat disfellowshipped Relatives.
by jwfacts inin another thread it was mentioned the witnesses do not shun disfellowshipped relatives, so i thought i would copy a few articles that show the watchtower says quite definitely that they are to almost totally shun relatives, along with some examples that i know personally.
i personally know many that have not been contacted by their parents for years;my cousin was my best friend, and for a year before my disfellowshipping week after week i spent hours with her and her child, who spent 4 months of his first year in hospital.
on the day of my disfellowshipping i was informed that i am no longer welcome there, and i have not seen my second cousin for 6 months now.

My husbands parents were counselled many times to stop associating with us but they refused . They said that they would never shun famlily. My fatheri-n -law passed away 3 years ago.. They were expert fence sitters.. He was an elder yet had many "worldly friends" that he associated with and they pretty much did what they wanted except for celebrating Christmas and other " pagen" holidays.. They contrbuted a lot of money to the congreagation..so we believe they "bought" themselves the right to do what they wanted without being questioned.

I remember a very sad case in our congregation. A sister with 7 small children .. one was just a baby... was told she had a very aggressive form of leukemia. This was in the late 70's when treatment would not be as good as present day. She was told that without blood she would die within a few months.. She didn't take blood as she trusted on Jehovah.. A few months later, those little kids were without their mother...It was very sad,,They didn't get much help from the congregation and the children were always very lost with out her..The org is a cruel and unloving place that destroys families...

Confidential Elders meetings, HA!
by restrangled inmy father was and elder and i remember him coming home from elder's meetings telling my mother all.
we lived in a small house so all could hear through the heating vents what was happening at the kh.
i learned more than i ever cared to know about at a young age.

hi restrangled,,, welcome to the forum..Your story reminds me of an elder who at 25 was really too young to be an elder in my opinion, He used to tell his wife what went on at JCs . In fact he used to take her along when he was counselling others and helping them with their problems..And she would give advice!!..Many weren't happy with him taking her along. but they were short of men to be elders so it was allowed..until people were finally fed up with her gossiping and they ended up moving away to a new province.

An elder who was only 25 at the time married with no kids,( I think someone is not mature enough at 25 to be in a position to counsel people). used to take his wife along on most of his sheparding calls and when one Dub had problems at home or with other personal issues. She used to give her opinions at these counsel sessions, and then she would gossip to others later..Eventually they ended up moving to another province as other Dubs started to complain about her.They wouldn't remove the elder from his postion as there weren't enough men able to be elders and they needed him regardless of her behaviour.

gary.. great post.. I think it just shows that the guys at the top have no idea how to keep the masses in check..They don't live in the real world and have no idea how to handle the way the world and the people in it are changing..Guess their new light is getting dimmer...
