has it happened in your congregation?
an elder is going to be late, stuck in traffic or lost, and dosen't show up at all!.
according to the society's guidelines, ( yes!
I did 2 public talks. Even did one when guy did not come.
Stopped doing them because a hot shot elder took me off the WT readers list.
I said to myself "How can I be good enough to do a talk, but not good enough to read the WT"
Well 6 years have passed, and I've gotten no apologies nor explanation. Just once they gave me the giggle and double speak to try to find out the "why?"
such sad and tragic events for young kids to be caught up in.. which parents dropping their kids off for school would imagine that they would never be seen alive again.
perhaps final proof that "a hard-line approach" does not work.
all it does is escalate the violence and inhumanity.

Dacheech "Is not the Jewish/Palestinian a religious issue?
Pole: Not really."
Pole: "The Israeli situation is a religious mess too, because of the wrong policies which have been used for some 50 years now. And didn't Afghanistan become a fundamentalist mess partly because nobody had given a damn about it in political terms for a long time before 9/11?"
Are you not contradicitng yourself?

Pole: Show how any type of example of how atheist's have turned into suicidal terrorists?

Sorry Pole: I think you are naive.
No need to fight over this though.
Nationalism is as much an evil as religiousness (mine is better than yours attitute) or (GOD will destroy you, not mine) or (w'ere the chosen ones) etc

Was not Ireland a religious issue?
Was not Yugoslavia a religious issue?
Is not the Jewish/Palestinian a religious issue?
At the root of the Russian problem you have religion. The fact is that these regions are diverse thus thinking that
they should not be ruled by Russians in which are now viewed as "Orthodox" (look at the JW ban)

Religion is the real root of all evil
have you ever been called before one?
were you ever on one?
what happened???
I have seen alot of elder politics in my lifetime (red tape, and if you go against them you're f'd)
Example: I have an elder that does the WT, and he runs 10 mins late 90% of the time, and still does the review. 2 weeks ago we had the meeting between elders/MS's/and C.O.
Well the C.O. was telling us how the School and service meeting can run late real easy if we do not check ourselves after every talk. After that he asked us all (including MS's) "Does this happen here?"
Nobody said a peep, so I raised my hand and said "Honestly it does not, but the WT is late quite alot!". At that instant an elder (not the WT conductor) raised his hand and said that it was not so, and
maybe it happened in 1 or 2 deep studies!
He basically not only lied, but called me a liar by proxy! I should of slapped him right there!
Do, elders have neither the holy spirit, nor truth, but they are a club of elite where if they cover each other's asses they will do whatever they want!
have you ever been called before one?

what happened???
We have the word of man that tells us that the miracles have been done away with!
Judicial committees are useless in a society with police. The man's common law punished people
for crimes. We don't need men that think they know GOD (Bush thinks he knows God too!). Nobody knows GOD
The bible contradicts itself, and after 35 years in the JW religion I now come to the conclusion that
the Bible is as credible as the Koran or the beliefs of the Hindus/buddists
