I have a cousin that was a long time elder. Very arrogant and controlling person. Very verbally abusive to his wife and 3 children. Always lorded his headship over them. Well, a person can only take so much abuse and during their frequent arguments he slipped up and told her to get a lawyer. Being the good JW wife she was she did just that and divorced him. No spiritual grounds mind you so neither could remarry. He stepped down as elder, that or be removed. His entire power base disappeared overnight. No elder, overbearing husband and father and no nookie. About 1 year later seduces a single sister and they both go running to the elders crying "we didn't mean to, and oh by the way I guess we can get married huh?". JC convined and they both walk out with a "PUBLIC REPROOF" and get married. That was my last straw. His argument to the JC was his wife had no right to divorce him and deny him his marriage bed.

The US has been trying to introduce a one dollar coin for years now. As long as they keep the paper dollar in circulation it will never fly.

Moving Congregations. Am I Allowed To Read The Letter The Elders Write?
by Diogenes ini've just moved congregations (it's the easiest way to keep people off your back!
) and the elders have received the letter written about me.. i've asked to read it to make sure there are no inaccuracies but the elders have refused point blank saying i'm not allowed.. i'm certain that under the data protection act i am allowed.. does anybody have any thoughts on this?
could you point me to anything the society have said?

I doubt here in the US you could. Were not as progressive here as the Brits to have that law. Wish we did.

Thanks Phil, I really appreciate it. I was heading down to Best Buys, a big electronics chain here in the States to buy a video game. At age 51 I still have the kid in me for video games. Anyway there was a Red Cross Blood Mobile parked in front. I had thought of donating blood for about 2 years since my DA. Well, I never got around to it or chickened out. I decided it was time and went in. It took about an hour to fill out various forms and such and have the blood drawn. I left and didn't think much about it. Now, mind you I am a "Manly Man" I drive truck for a living etc. Never show emotions like a fool. I got home and for no reason I can explain I began to cry. I have never reached out to touch another human like this before.

One more step in becoming a human being again. I gave blood for the first time in my life. It felt good. For once in my life I could actually help someone else instead of condeming them to death by our "Loving God". I am curious though, if the JW's now allow fractions who do they expect to give blood so that they can live?

Is Jehovah a God of love?
by SickofLies in"o you lovers of jehovah, hate what is bad.
"if anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own soul, he cannot be my disciple.

Yea right, the "GOD OF LOVE" prepared to destroy 6 billion people to up hold his sovereignty. Sounds like the creator of all has a little inferority complex.

I would never think of ratting on them. Anyone else experience such a thing.
