  Carr maintained that he did not know the girl was under the legal age of 16 because he and the girl are Jehovah's Witnesses, whose members do not celebrate birthdays.

  With an air-tight explanation like that did he actually feel he shouldn't be sent to jail?

  This is some of the most beautiful writing I've seen on this or any other board. My heart goes out to you. Stay here and continue to write and drink in the advice you are given by others - they hear you as well and are touched. No one who has seen your words can be left untouched. My only regret is that I hadn't opened your thread when you first posted it. I wish you well, dear one.

  it was released a few months ago.

  it is not religious propaganda.

  written by dr eben alexander, a neurosurgeon, who went into a coma for a week, and his subsequent journey into the afterlife.

  Congregation had to relocate Memorial...thanks to me

  by Shepherd Book in

  2. experiences

  so, the two local congregations were planning to hold their memorial together at 7:30 at the local community center, but they had to make a last-minute change to their own hall, and i'm pretty sure it was because of me.. let me explain.... at work on monday afternoon, a co-worker returned from her lunchbreak and showed me the memorial invitation that was waiitng in her door when she went home for lunch.

  i noticed the sticker on the back indicated the memorial was being held, not at the local hall, but at the community center.

  from a past (non-jw) event i attended there, i knew they didn't allow alcohol (unless you pay for security guards), so i wrote to the center's coordinator:.

  New member says hey

  i have lurked now and then, just decided to join.. my older brother and i were raised by our jw mom, but our dad was a non-practicing catholic.

  so we went to the hall, but were considered "weak" witnesses, since our family still celebrated xmas and birthdays, to appease my dad i suppose.

  as a kid, i loved these holidays.. anyways, when my brother was 17 (i was 13), he spent a few weeks with our cousins in ky, who are all gung-ho j-dubs, and upon his return, he decided he was going to be more "theocratic".

  Hi jay dubless - you have a private message. Click on the little envelope next to your name in the upper right corner of the screen. It will take several attempts before you can access it. Use the "back" and try again until it shows.

  Welcome to the board,

  It would be nice, but I doubt it. I think any change will be cosmetic and symbolic. I think this guy got elected because he will "carry on" as usual by not making real substantive changes. I hope I'm wrong, but time will tell.

  The Cult Test

  by AndDontCallMeShirley in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after reading this, is there any doubt watchtower is a cult?.

  the following information describes cults in general but is not specifically focused on the jehovah's witnesses, although they are mentioned several times.

  the characteristics of cults are so much in line with wt tactics, down to similar phrases and buzzwords.. .
