  21 Years as an Elder, 5 as an MS, I will never be that guy again.

  by James Jack in

  2. experiences

  i was deleted as the cobe after i let my adult child move back home and he admitted that he fornicated under my roof while my wife and i where away on a rbc project.

  of course the elder mode in me kicked him out of the house.. the elders moved quickly to remove me because i was too involved in "theocractic activities", i had neglected my adult son.. i accepted this primarily because i didn't want to serve with a boe that did not want me.

  i was devastated however because it was the only life i knew.

  Pioneering and elder responsibilities? You must have been a glutton for punishment. Welcome to the forum.

  oh my word it is full of fear inducing tactics....doom and gloom outlooks.... anxiety inducing methods to develop absolute control over witnesses and cripple them in any attempt to think for themselves!.

  (notice i am saying "themselves" rather than "ourselves"?!

  a woman has a blood transfusion during pregnancy.

  this blood, obviously, now constitutes the unborn child's circulation.

  kid gets born, becomes of age and wants to become a jw.

  The child might as well been an infant or toddler when transfused. No point in emphasizing that.

  By the way, welcome to the forum.

  Searcher, they're most likely alluding to a basement at some private residency. Kind of like the old book studies.

  One of the women is wearing slacksbut then they're all informally dressed.

  One of the men shaves his head. Is that allowed? Or maybe he's just naturally bald.

  It's getting late for me. I better get some sleep. But then I might dream of this.

  "New KH’s will have big screen TV’s where the yearly text goes, the sound will have video, internet and a computer monitor."

  So will they be taking these big screens into the basement during the Great Tribulation?

  i have seen a few here on this forum.

  i just came across on in a book i'm reading that i thought i would share with you, appropriate to the forum.. "men think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one".

  charles mackay in extraordinary popular delusions and the madness of crowds (1841).

  I worry that no matter how cynical you become,

  it’s never enough to keep up.

  Bitchtower: "When Gog begins the assault..."

  Could someone fill me in as to whom Gog refers to currently? They keep changing it.
