Actually last year I had a problem with a ministerial servant who used to be my best friend. He kept pushing me to be more active in the kingdom hall, to go door to door more often and all that. meanwhile he kept tons of porn on his PC, got drunk every other day and lied constantly, we even went to a strip club with me and others and the lied about it. So I called him> out and things got very heated and I told him that one of the reasons that I was 'cold' in the faith was because of people like him and his father, that are supposed to be named elders and MS bt way of the Holy Spirit but never did they filled the requirements of said positions, and I asked him how did the spirit operated in the congregations that such positions were given to him and his father. He proceeded to name me apostate and tried to convince everyone of my friends that i was. Right now that guy plead guitly to three counts of fraud and embezzlement, kept lying to the elders on their faces and had to admit to adultery and he also has a new arrest warrant for other charges. He also admitted taking the money and giving it to his father so that he could open a new businness. Guess what? his father the elder and his elder friends gave him a private reprimand and left it at that. and everybody knows that the father is a filthy drunk. That's another example of how the spirit is NOT working in their congregations how they claim it is. Sad thing is that people how know me, including my mom, see him in the conventions and all that, and look at him in a much better light than they would ever see me.

How about the elder, who's daughter had been privately reprimanded twice before, got a worldly boyfriend she met at work. So the dad and her brother gave him bible studies twice a week to rush him into baptism so they could get married on the KH. That caused a lot of division and unrest in the cong. That elder had so much power he actually made 2 other elders move to a diffrent cong., others resigned thier posts because of conscience and even the culprit (the elder) moved to another cong. to sow more discord. That marriage lasted the best of 2 years. They divorced, the guy vanished and the daughter of the elder is disfellowshipped for adultery. Guess who is still an elder in great force?

Righteous Jehovah's Witnesses
by waiting inlast nite i found a web site which had a group of very straight, righteous jw's.
if any question was dubious, (like most of our group's) these questions were in an isolated section so as not to offend the remaining members.
this was by far the most interesting in questions and comments.. it was the attitude from friends worldwide that was fascinating in a somewhat horrible way.

I think I wanna go to the kingdom hall this sunday...
by Sweetp0985 inyes you read that correctly, but first let me say that i'm not going to learn anything (as if that would happen anyway), but i'm going to gloat.. the last couple of times i went there a few months ago was because i was being forcedstrongly encouraged (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/9/74780/1202255/post.ashx#1202255) and i felt intimidated when i went.
now that i have become a regular reader of various discussions here, i know i can walk in there with my head held high and look at them with just as much disgust in my eyes as they have in theirs because i haven't been begging to come back to such a unloving and hateful organization.. i also want to take a good look at my step-mother.
i know for a fact that things on the homefront have been much less than a "loving theocratic atmosphere" between her and my father.

OMG!!! I faded away, it was a nightmare, good thing I got the opportunity to move faaar away. but I still have my mom to deal with. She's hardly even talking to me anymore, which is kinda a sad. SO I'm still deciding if I'm going to send in my resignation letter, after all the effort put in it. It's about 17 pages long, it would be a shame to let it go to waste...

I left her speechless...
by Dawn ini was talking with my mom the other day and we got on the subject of my father's funeral.
it old her that one of the reasons my son did not ever want to go back to the kh was because of how i was shunned, even at my dad's own funeral.. she said "i know, he just doesn't understand" - i replied "no - he knows why - he just doesn't believe that's what jesus would have wanted".
she had no response to that.

Naming your children Biblical names
by JustTickledPink inthe thread about jael got me to thinking about all the biblical names i heard from witness children.. jael, barak, elisha, elijah, noah, matthew,.
anyone else remember new babies coming into the world and being given "biblical" names?
i thought it was hilarious when there was baby noah.

Thank god they didn't give me any, they were going to call me David. But coming from Puerto Rico, there are a lot of Jesus, María (mary), Pedros (Peter), Juan (James), José (John), Pablo (Paul) and all that, still have to meet somebody named Judas. I would name my kids Judge Taze or Freddie Franz or maybe Nathan Rutherford, yeah thats it! Nathan Rutherford, doesn't get more biblical than that!

If you really want to get close to him, may I suggest a banana in one hand and a jar of vaseline in the other? If he gets pissed, just roll-up a watchtower and hit him over the nose until he learns to get along...or better yet, tell him you'll disfellowship him form the house, they're terrified of that word.

The ultimate JW presidential flip flop.
by BeelzeDub injehovah spoke to the current president of zambia while he was one of jehovah's witnesses and told him to get back into politics.
president mwanawasa: "i vowed never to associate myself with politics and that is why i joined the jehovah's witnesses," president mwanawasa said.
"but after seven years of abstinence, god spoke to me that you have not fulfilled the work i sent you in government for.
