  Well................I rang the elder.....................

  by BLISSISIGNORANCE in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  ...............except he's no longer an elder!

  i knew he'ld been removed after my reinstatement (about 4 years ago) because he had expressed to dubs regret over the handling of my case, how i was treated, etc.

  so the big elder (po) who wanted me silenced and set up the whole jc and witnesses, had little elder removed.

  A great free program for managing your pics...

  here is something that google is giving away... it is called picasa.

  it does a great job of organizing all of the pics on your computer into chronological and topical order.

  it also let's you use a few basic image editing tools such as red-eye reduction, cropping and enhancement.

  Just remembered I got this email a while ago, interesting tips on how to defend yourself. I thought you might find them interesting.

  
  Some common sense tips in here that are worthwhile.
  

  Please take the time to read this. I know you are smart enough to know
  these pointers but there will be some, where you will go "hmm I must
  remember that".
  
  
  1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body.
  If you are close enough to use it, do!
  
  2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans. If a robber asks for
  your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you.
  THEN RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION! ... chances are that the robber
  will be more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go
  for the wallet/purse.
  
  3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail
  lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The
  driver won't see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
  
  4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating,
  working, etc., and just sit (doing their check book, or making a list, etc.
  DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the
  perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to
  your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR,
  LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.
  
  5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking
  garage:
  
  A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side
  floor, and in the back seat. Also glance under the car, as people have
  been know to hide there then grab your foot or leg when you come close.
  
  B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger
  door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their
  vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
  
  C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the
  passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car,
  you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman
  to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
  (And better paranoid than dead)
  
  6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. Stairwells are
  horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
  
  7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS
  RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And
  even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
  
  8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get
  you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,
  well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting
  women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into
  his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.
  
  9. Another Safety Point Fwd: Crying Baby Someone just told me that her
  friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she
  called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The
  police told her "Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door." The lady then said
  that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was
  worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman
  said, "We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the
  door." He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry
  recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone
  dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had
  several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their
  doors when they're home alone at night. Please pass this on! and DO NOT
  open the door for a crying baby.
  
  This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby
  theory was mentioned on America's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they
  profiled the serial killer in Louisiana.
  
  
  Some of this applies to you in you situationsome may no but I thought I'd include them all. Im also really short to so i found some of theese really helpfull.

  How horible for you Celia,

  That guy should never have been let out of jail.

  It must be horrible for you not to feel safe in your own home, Id be getting a really good monitored security system put in, or move away for a while untill this guy is thrown back in Jail.

  It's horroblie though that someone else has to be hurt because of this creep.

  Thinking of you and hope you and your family and friends remain safe.

  Help...How should I handle this...

  ...dilemma?

  my husband's ex-wife(a baptized jw) has been sending hateful messages with his children(a 4 and 10-year-old), whenever they come to visit us.

  (i'm expecting), and she says hateful things about our unborn child to her children, and sometimes they repeat things they overhear her say about me and the baby.

  Welcome to the Board.

  I agree with Nina, Cruzanheart, If the kids are nice then talk to them about it and how they feel about it all, if they are horrid little snots then get their dad to deal with it.

  Also keep all the notes, you may need them as evidence.

  I don't think going to the Elders about ti would help, it would probably just make her angrier.

  All the best with this problem and your new baby.

  The Purpose of Beth Sarim

  by VM44 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  beth sarim, the house in san diego rutherford had built and lived in.. from the proclaimers book, page 76,a few years after brother rutherford?s death, the board of directors of the watch tower society decided to sell beth-sarim.

  "the watchtower" of december 15, 1947, explained: "it had fully served its purpose and was now only serving as a monument quite expensive to keep; our faith in the return of the men of old time whom the king christ jesus will make princes in all the earth (not merely in california) is based, not upon that house beth-sarim, but upon god?s word of promise.

  but, did the watchtower of december 15,1947 state what was the purpose beth-sarim had fully served?.

  Thanks for all this guys, especially Farkel, I just read his original post about this from a few years ago.

  I was reised in the truth and had never heard of Beth Sarim untill a few weeks ago.

  Had to get out to find out about it.

  Just makes me think about what other stuff I never heard about.

  Well the doctor changed his mind and decided not to redo her stitches yet, he gave her some anti-inflamatories and said he wanted to give it all a bit longer to heal and check on them later.

  Oh well, well see what happens in a few weeks.

  Two Witness Rule

  by Stephanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we all know how that worked with child sexual abuse cases - because the child was only one witness, unless the alleged perp confessed, he walked (and was even protected from cong.

  "gossip"!)..

  would the same principle apply in a case of "fornication"?

  Ok what happens then if the person who admitted the guilt states that they lied, and was temporarily insane maybe they were trying to get at the other person for something, was do the elders do then.

  No I'm not but it has been something I've been thinking about a lot lately. Have pretty much decided that I'm going to, also thinking of signing up for the bone marrow register here too. If I can save a life then I'm definately in.

  Going to talk to my doctor about it when I see her next.
