  This woman is being held without bail. Murders and child molesters usually get out on bail.!!! The judge who did this is going to be very sorry he did this STUPID thing. It is one thing to hold an election and remove her from office but in jail without bail? You are freaking kidding me? What is this a country ruled by ISIS ? We are seriously locking up a non dangerous person b/c she won't issue a marriage license to a gay couple? WTF. What next, shall we flog her in the public square? Jesus H Christ.

  What this women has done or not done in her personal life is not relevant. She says she became a reborn Christian about 4 yrs ago. It does not matter how many times she was married, the Bible allows for divorce. If she committed sins, well she asked for forgiveness and she was forgiven. She has not broken the law in her personal life.

  She holds this belief that gay marriage is wrong The gay community is not looking so good here- In fact, they look really bad. They are staring to resemble other known hate groups. This woman is going to come out the winner b/c that judge is an arse -hole and what they are doing is horrible.

  Myself I do not give a shite what anyone does in their bedroom or who they choose to marry. But I would not lock up someone b/c they just would not see it my way.

  Well, I think she should probably just suck it up and do her job, but I am not her.

  The fact that she has been divorced 3 times has nothing to do with anything. The Bible allows for divorce, or so she would tell you.

  .Everyone wants their rights respected unless it is something they hate, like Christians.

  I know the WTS has left a lot of us wounded but the hate on this thread is horrible.

  The courts will deal with her.

  Should a bunch of us gather around her house or the courthose and shout insulting vulgar names at her until she sees the error of her ways?

  It's almost like many would like to shove something down her throat.

  surgeons are not known for their bedside manner, of course you want him to be skilled and so what if he is not pleasant?

  we are talking about an elderly man , not a car .

  Ray Franz was an Idiot

  ray franz who gave us insight into the gb due to a crisis of conscience was an absolute moron, with absolutely no critical thinking skills whatsoever like all of us have.

  i mean, to have a conscience based on some magic man in the sky.. how stupid can you be?

  in search of christian freedom?

  Just about everyone here is in some stage of learning what we call, TTATT( the truth about the truth). Some of us are bitter and angry. Some of us are depressed and some are suicidal, or have other mental issues . Some of us have stunted emotional maturity due to not being allowed to grow up more or less in a normal fashion . Most of us are not used to debating b/c we were not allowed to have any opinions other than " the Watchtower say, Bro. Elder says, or the Governing Body says. So you will see name calling but if you had been around here when this board first started you would not even recognize it. There were out and out flame wars and the board nearly went down in flames a few times. Recovery from a Cult is hard and all of us are at different stages . Plus all of us have different reasons why we left the BORG.

  This is not an organized religion - it is a discussion board by a lot of folks who used to be jws or were married to one or are Bible studies and some who post are still members in good standing in the Borg. So there you have it.

  Franz was a brave honest man who could have faked it in Bethel till he died. But he did not. Most of us really respect him. Live and let live.

  That's great," whatever gets him and you through the night- is alright...". If we believe the Bible we know it does not require great knowledge to be accepted by God. Jesus said about those having the faith of a child .

  http://www.openbible.info/topics/faith_of_a_child

  If your father is happy and you are able to watch over him a bit, then I am very happy for you both. As far as faith healing, don't expect it. I know there are folks who swear it has happened but just deal with your dad as he is and support him.

  Our neighborhood has been mostly left alone for almost a decade. We've seen more Baptists than jws or Mormons. About a year ago, one lone jws bro talked to me behind a door and I just said I was not interested. Just flashed his Watchtower. Yesterday a couple knocked on our door and my hubby answered. He did not recognize them as being from our local KH ( but it has been 12 yrs since anyone has even seen one of us, and prior to that it had been about 5 yrs. ) So he did not know them and he just said he was NOT INTERESTED. The lady ask why and getting a little irritated he said " I 'M JUST NOT " . They left. Maybe that was the test call from the local KH to see if we were apostates. Never know.

  Helen Keller is not a hero

  few realize just how wicked some of the most revered people in history were.

  helen keeler (1880 to 1968) was a wolf in sheep's clothing, no hero.

  keller was a communist.

  I don't care if she was a socialist.-- she did not run for president. The idea behind socialism sounds really good, it just never works, or has not yet. Anyway, I would not hate someone b/c of that. I also don't' care if she was involved with the occult. Spiritualism is not a crime and was very high fashion around the turn of last century. Many wealthy people became involved with it.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiritualism

  Wiki does an excellent summary of this type of religion . I myself have used tarot cards for years and I guess that is the occult. I do not have horns growing out of my head. I admit my fascination with tarot and all things occult is basically nil now, but I was very into it at one time.

  You sound like some crazy jws .

  JW Threatened me with Violence Today :)

  i popped into the supermarket for a few things after work today and found myself walking up an aisle alongside a couple who used to be in my tuesday group.

  i see them reasonably often and always say hello much to their obvious annoyance.

  i noticed that ian was sporting a shaggy beard.

  I agree with Steve2. It could be interpreted as taunting the jw couple. If he then hits cofty, well, it could be said he asked for it. Of course we'd love to make their lives as miserable as a lot of them have ours, but jws would be quick to go after known apostates.
