  after seeing all the new people from wisconsin today i decided to come out of my lurker mode.

  i have been practically obsessed with this board since i discovered it, and i give everyone here credit for helping my husband and i leave the borg.

  i had been in 11 years, and my husband 27 years, along with our 3 small children.

  Question for Tepic or anyone else who has an answer.

  tepic,.

  since you were an elder, didn't that one guy say for like a hundred years, i want to ask you a question.

  before i ask thought let me state this.

  Now on to my question. Why would Elders literally try to keep a couple (both in good standing) from getting married? And why would the PO actually scream at the girl during at commitee meeting? Isn't there some rule that, that is inappropriate behaviour during a comittee meeting?

  Others here have given you better answers than I could thanks to their experiences. I'll just add the following

  From the PAY ATTENTION book page 112

  Elders need to treat the accused kindly and respectfully,
  never harshly. (w89 9/15 p. 19)

  Watchtower Aug. 15, 1968 says to ignore Jesus about tthe time of the end..

  2. friends

  talking about 1975 and the push by the society got me to looking at some older quotes.

  this one here really bugged me and still pisses me off when i read it.

  in this instance they are telling you to forget about jesus and listen to the society.

  Well I see if I find such quotes in the Spanish Watchtowers. If anybody knows of any, please post them. Thanks.

  You might look in the Sept-Dec WT as usually it was just a few months later

  Well I did not find that article you're talking about? Is the Watchtower in English different in Spanish?

  Actually there is a difference up until a certain year. Unfortunatly the year escapes me. I'm sure it was after 1968. The same article used to appear in different issues.

  Do you think JWs are the only ones that have hi-jacked the word "evil" though?

  Good point. I looked at several translations in regard to the man at 1 Cor chap 5. ----some say wicked ; others say evil.

  Elders are told to ask themselves---Is the person wicked or weak.

  Not to stray off the subject, but one thing repeated several times in COC is that many organized religions display some of the same undesirable things as WT. The question begs an answer ---What (not who) shall we go away to?????
