It's my understanding that they are not allowed to physically "grab" you with their hands. But they can surround you and "body block" you until the police come..
Is anyone up to date on this?

Did you ever witness someone being escorted out of the KH?
by JH indid it ever happen in your congregation that a person was asked to leave?.
i remember about 10 years ago, an elder was giving the sunday talk, and a woman that i never saw before was seated in the front.
she was all alone, and right in the middle of the brothers talk, she raised her hand and started asking questions to the brother about what he just said.

Hey defd,
Just want to let you know that this old saurkraut, baked beans and kolbasi eater just passed a nice wet fart in your face.
Anyhow........your posts really let us know the JW style of Christian love.......which is nonexistant love!
Times like these I wish I were a mod. Defd would be terminated for violating the rules of this forum.
HappyDad of the ex JW elder, convention speaking, very Brooklyn savy, and who is now free of the oppressive, can't think or reason for yourself cult mentality class.
Enjoy your next meeting defd!

A few facts about my obsession, errr, hobby
by ballistic inthis is to comemerate my reaching the 100 gigabyte mark in my music collection.. i haven't listened to it all yet as sometimes i'm downloading at around 180k per second and that is quicker than you can possibly listen to it.. i now have collected 1285 albums since last october.
if i can't find what i want free to download, i look for the album on ebay then.
rip it to my collection, the least i paid for an album on ebay was 35p, the most was 7 pounds.. i know there's always one or two people against this kind of thing, so one more thing, several of the worlds biggest players in the music industry made "record" profits last year.

god bless this site
by hurt dave infor someone who was raised in the "truth" for 17 years it was a very hard and a very scary decision when my father finnally had the "you must choose a side of the fence" speech and when i chose not to do it anymore he flipped his lid and i so "tormented" by my decsion i latched on to "maryjane" to fill the "need".
after living with my parents for two years and then on my own for two more years crying everynoght cause i was alone not knowing way i felt this way this way, i felt a spirtual need at 3:30am i drove to my dads house and beged him to let me came home because the "voices" were drivin me crazy and i needed "guidance" he said well get you a meeting with elders and a "bible study".
so i move back in, had a talk with the elders where they used the bible to call me stupid and i went to there meeting where they used what i said in private and made a whole new talk based around it i broke down crying and prayed to god for the guidacne to make me strong and make the tears stop and the holy spirt led me to this site i moved in with my brother and told my parents i can know longer belive the "truth".

Good for you! I wish you luck in this.
As far as I'm concerned.....there hasn't been a grandma looking type of person involved in terrorist attacks. It is a fact.....and I feel for those who resemble .......but only middle eastern looking people have been the culprits so far in the bombings.
Yeah.......some will bitch and complain, but that's too bad! Look what happened to all the innocent Japanese during WW2 in this country. A lot of indignities with no reason for it! But now it is a different story. It might be called racial profiling, but it's time to quit being politically correct.
And if any innocent person wants to bitch...........how would they feel if one of their family members were killed in a random act of terrorism?
Time for the US and Britain to stop being bleeding hearts and letting the so-called downtrodden cross their borders. Ship em back!
Just my two cents worth!

They have been downsizing at Bethel big time. Sending people home, to other branches, printing paperback books, the list goes on.
Can anyone answer?
If they are sending people home and to other branches, why are they building more and more dormitories in Brooklyn?

How can people like Def'd stick around here?
by ithinkisee inhow can people like defd be here and see all the blatant lies by the society and still accept it?.
607 bc and 1914 are based on complete falsehood, and are only borrowed from the adventists and millerites.
the trinity brochure took almost all of their sources out of context.

Hellrider,
I agree with your comment 100%......
However: Defd is really annoying, and this is the reason: He comes on, spews some JW-propaganda, and then he just leave! People ask him honest, good and logical questions, but he just refuse to answer them. And that`s just really pissing me off, cause it`s so typical JW, you ask them a question, they can`t answer, but are unable to see the significance of the fact that they can`t answer! That makes me so mad and frustrated I just wanna bang my head in a brick wall.
........but...........wouldn't it be a lot more fun to bang defd head in the brick wall?
