  Hi Tinkerbell

  Thanks for putting your bio up. It shows again, the we here are not just a bunch of mean-spirited computer professionals trying to subvert the faith of others. It shows that most here have been bitten hard, and panged by the obtrusive behavior of the WTBS and its corporate rule enforcing cohorts. (a.k.a asshole elders.)

  Hopefully someday there will be hell to pay for aches & pains we have been put through by the Borg.

  Dismembered but glad im Dismembered

  Your Cheesiest/Silliest/Strangest WTScans

  i've been enjoying scanning bits and pieces of ruth's old 'tower magazines.

  many of us will have old copies of the literature lying around, so why not scan something that's particularly meaningful to you?

  here's my offering to start the ball rolling.

  IF I WAS AN ELDER, I WOULD..............

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for decades i heard people say "if i was an elder,i would change this or i wouldn't allow that.brothers and sisters alike would always try to get the ear of an elder so as to enact a particular cause.everybody has their own pet peeves in a congregation.

  knowing what you know now, if as an elder you could make a major change in the congregation or organization, what difference would you make?.....this is hypothetical so it can be answered by male or female.

  Jeff T said "I don't have any idea where they went, maybe to the Watchtower." They did. I know of one case anyway.

  Why Is Smoking A Disfellowshipping Offense?

  by twain30 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the main reason given in the 1973 watchtower was that smoking is tied in with spiritism because the greek word which is rendered as spiritism is pharmakia' which literally means "druggery," (see galatians 5:20.

  ) therefore the argument was made that by smoking we put ourselves under spiritistic or demonic control.

  for the last 20 years i haven't heard this reason used.. today the reasons given are that smoking shows no respect for your body as well as for life and that smoking doesn't show love of neighbor.

  NEVER MEET ALONE WITH A SISTER!!!

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you know why the society says this?

  regardless of whether the meeting is for the purpose of shepherding, sharing bible advice,or simply giving encouragement, "she could develop romantic feelings for the elder.it is possible for an elder to develop improper feelings for a sister he is comforting or counseling.

  it is especially important never to meet with a sister alone when the sister being assisted has been a victim of abuse, suffers from depression,or for any other reason is in a delicate emotional state.a woman in such an emotional may be more vulnerable and may be prone to develop improper feelings toward an elder meeting with her.

  Plus WTBS know that "elders" have no self-control, and will immediately entertain bad thoughts. And that they are sex pigs.
