THERAPISTS

by sisteract in

does anybody know of a witness named bob langston who was in malden, ma.

and medford, ma.

who claimed to be a licensed therapist and had many of the friends (especially the sisters) as his clients?

when i was still fairly new as a jw, we had a congregation servant (po) who got himself in a very difficult situation, and in fact his whole family became involved ... i rarely saw such awkwardness in the kingdom hall ... .

his wife was a reg.

pioneer.

For JW's...Where in the Bible does it say...

by Wolfgirl in

...that men are not allowed to grow beards?.

i don't know if this is true where you live, but where i used to live, it was against "policy" for brothers to have beards.

any man who did have one was looked down upon.

Dismembered

The stupid reason for no beards, is because "we represent Jehovah, and don't want any cause for stumblin' anyone at da doors. Peepos lives depend on the newest issue of the Watchtower"

i always wanted to go to one, then found out the cost.

then found out why they cost so much.

now the requirements this year are so extreme, i feel sorry for the newly baptized and the single sisters!

Hi Simplesally,

From what I've heard about those International Assemblies, and how restrictive they are. You're not missing anything

WERE YOU A WITNESS FU**?

by minimus in

jw
friends

a very good friend of mine ,who was an elder at the time, accurately came up with an expression when somebody acted in a certain way.

let's say a person was a real goody 2 shoes, always supporting the organization, and probably either lierally or figuratively, screwing his brother or sister, he would be labeled a "real witness fu**.

" toward the end of his eldership , he was pretty much calling everybody "a witness fu**.

What "SIN" do elders respond to fastest?

by Dismembered in

.

maybe it's just me but, it seem like "elders" respond extremely quickly to "sexual misconduct" as long as it does not involve their own family members.

true or false?

Dismembered

anyone else? what do you think?
