i doubt that nothing has greater impact then a person being df'd - reading the current thread.. i have known many kids df'd at 15, and many baptized at 10 or 11, but none df'd.. i would imagine that the minimum must be about 13.. any younger than 15?.

@ Brokeback Watchtower,

"A very young girl in my congregation got molested by a ministerial servant and was DF'd at about 12 or 13."

Was the ministerial servant disfellowshipped?

California Attorney Tries to Pass a Ballot Advocating Genocide for Gays

by Village Idiot in

this ballot initiative put forth by matt mclaughlin, an attorney in southern california, would allow for the execution of gays by bullets to the head.

mclaughlin has to gather 365,000 signatures to put it up for a vote.

i'm in favor of gay rights but in my opinion this despicable ballot should make it to a vote knowing that it absolutely will not pass in order to publicize the demented mentality of fundamentalist christians in the united states.

I didn't even think of revoking his license. There should definitely be a good case for doing that since he is overtly, unmistakably, advocating murder.

This ballot initiative put forth by Matt McLaughlin, an attorney in Southern California, would allow for the execution of Gays by “bullets to the head”. McLaughlin has to gather 365,000 signatures to put it up for a vote.

I'm in favor of gay rights but in my opinion this despicable ballot should make it to a vote knowing that it absolutely will not pass in order to publicize the demented mentality of Fundamentalist Christians in the United States. There are many Republican politicians who hold to this view although they will not dare admit it. These deranged people need to have the public spotlight shined on them.

SODOMITE SUPPRESSION ACT Penal Code section 39

a) The abominable crime against nature known as buggery, called also sodomy, is a monstrous evil that Almighty God, giver of freedom and liberty, commands us to suppress on pain of our utter destruction even as he overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha.

b) Seeing that it is better that offenders should die rather than that all of us should be killed by God's just wrath against us for the folly of tolerating-wickedness in our midst, the People of California wisely command, in the fear of God, that any person who willingly touches another person of the same gender for purposes of sexual gratification be put to death by bullets to the head or by any other convenient method.

c) No person shall distribute, perform, or transmit sodomistic propaganda directly or indirectly by any means to any person under the age of majority. Sodomistic propaganda is defined as anything aimed at creating an interest in or an acceptance of human sexual relations other than between a man and a woman. Every offender shall be fined $1 million per occurrence, and/or imprisoned up to 10 years, and/or expelled from the boundaries of the state of California for up to life.

d) No person shall serve in any public office, nor serve in public employment, nor enjoy any public benefit, who is a sodomite or who espouses sodomistic propaganda or who belongs to any group that does.

e) This law is effective immediately and shall not be rendered ineffective nor invalidated by any court, state or federal, until heard by a quorum of the Supreme Court of California consisting only of judges who are neither sodomites nor subject to disqualification hereunder.

f) The state has an affirmative duty to defend and enforce this law as written, and every member of the public has standing to seek its enforcement and obtain reimbursement for all costs and attorney's fees in so doing, and further, should the state persist in inaction over 1 year after due notice, the general public is empowered and deputized to execute all the provisions hereunder extra-judicially, immune from any charge and indemnified by the state against any and all liability.

g) This law shall be known as 11The Sodomite Suppression Act" and be numbered as section 39 in Title 3 of the Penal Code, pertaining to offences against the sovereignty of the state. The text shall be prominently posted in every public school classroom. All laws in conflict with this law are to that extent invalid.

Can you discredit "wait on jehovah to fix all evil" elder's padded line even told to victims of pedophiles?

by PokerPlayerPhil in

i am sick of being told this same crap after decades of suffering at the hands of wicked men and women, how many of you have had to fight these irrational expectations we are supposed to grin and smile when people are actively trying to screw with us and elders say .

good it is that one should wait, even silently, for the salvation of jehovah (lamentations 3:26; titus 2:13).

my life in the organization has not been entirely bad, there were many good people and plenty of jerks like you all experienced in this adventure we call life.

Village Idiot

I would turn the tables on them by telling them that "Jehovah is waiting for you to take action".

Could you help me with a little Witness history ?

by ukgirl in

as part of a student film project that i am completing i will be conducting a telephone interview with an exjw tomorrow.. the person i am interviewing was a witness between the years of the 50's (born in) - late 80's so obviously would have been in their late teens for the prophecies and events of 1975.. as this person is older than i, i am plan to tailor my questions around being a witness in that time period.

i just wonder if you could point me in the direction of any more date specific events surrounding this time period that i could touch upon in my interview ?.

much appreciated .

I remember, around 1974, going to a talk by then Vice President Frederick Franz at the Inglewood Public Forum in Southern California. The stadium was jam packed all the way to the floor (seating capacity 17500). He set out his long winded calculations of 1975 then came out with the conclusion that the world would end by 1975 or a few months or years thereafter.

I also remember being in the ministry school meeting one night in 1974 when the Kingdom Ministry was being read. It stated that there were reports of brothers selling their homes in order to spend the short remaining time in the witnessing work and that that was a good thing.

Rainham residents upset about plans for Jah Jireh care home for Jehovah’s Witnesses

by Simon in

(posted for andersonsinfo).

people are protesting against plans to build a large care home for jehovahs witnesses behind their houses.. homeowners living in the bloors lane area of rainham have lodged objections to proposals by the jah jireh charity, which specialises in spiritual and physical care for followers of the religion.. people living in neighbouring homes say it is too big and its three storeys will dwarf their properties.. .

what the care home will look like.

Village Idiot

It all depends on how much land is taken up by the nursing home. If it fills up the property with very little green space behind and besides the building then there's an issue. A smaller building might be an acceptable compromise though it may not be cost effective for the property owners.
