Beepers--These folks have spoken well to you
Beep, might I suggest that if you want dialogue for your questions that you DON'T do it on this thread. You will get more out of your questions if you put it into your own thread. This thread will not serve your needs but if you are sincere, another one of your own certainly could.
Min
Beepbeep - people do want to talk to you, but not on this thread. This thread is dedicated to ONE topic that people want to talk about. Start a new thread. Ever been at a party talking to a really interesting amazing funny guy who you really want to listen to, then your friend comes up and interrupts with some useful but ultimately ballsachingly boring information????

Bad Behavior in Field Service
by TallTexan in

2. experiences
being raised in the 'truth', i obviously spent much of my youth in service.

of course, as we got older, my friends and i would act the fool in service as much as possible.

we used to use the names of popular rap artists with the old farts we called on.

I remember once picking a piece of fruit off some ones tree and getting chewed out for stealing by a more "mature" sister.

Tall Texan once, when very young, reprimanded a co for doing this.

The WTS isn't doing any damage control right now, because they have no idea what is coming. In fact, there are a couple of posts here already that prove they (the WTS) are completely clueless about this issue because they have verified their current stance, which is deadly. Their statements couldn't have been any more damaging to themselves. Makes me wonder if there are brothers in the Service Department who ARE aware of this and providing ammunition against the WTS.

Wow!!
Are you saying that there are responsible HQ types posting here?

CoC--Mexico vs Malawi or other countries
by love2Bworldly in

2. medical
i don't know if this might be a repeat, sorry if it is.

i am in the middle of reading coc.

do you think that mexico jw's were spared by the governing body from rigid rules of not being involved in military issues/political party issues compared to other countries such as malawai, because the wts could make more money from people in mexico converting to jws as opposed to some other countries such as malawi?.
blindersoff

I'd love to find some 3rd party verification of that story in CoC

I hope to be able to check this out with my Mexico connection contacts within the next several months. B

I agree that there is hardly anything that could be revealed that would empty the KH's. Others have well stated the reasons why. I would be happy if we can just release a small percentage of the current JW's (perhaps some family members) & give prospective victims one more thing to add to the negative side of their paper as they do their research. If we can stop the growth, that is accomplishment in itself. So lets not be discouraged if we don't see a stampede for the doors.
Maybe we can do more than was done with the UN thing. I heard it from only one source and , of course, didn't believe it. The same source mentioned it again 2 years later & gave the UN link which I looked up. But (here is my point) no JW I ever mentioned it to had ever even heard of it. Hopefully we can get the word out so they will at least have the opportunity to hear, since they are not allowed to look on the net.

Scandal of December 2005 km
by IT Support in
1. watchtower
2. medical
the december canadian kingdom ministry has an article "could your child make a mature decision.

" it instructs parents to indoctrinate their kids to refuse blood and make themselves a martyr.

this, to me, was one of the most chilling sentences in the article (paragraph 3):

The youth would need to understand reasonably the gravity of his medical condition and the consequences of his options for treatment

How many adults understand their options with the confusion of the fractions, procedures, etc.according to WT law?

ok, all you male ex/jws what do you think of women now!

barbara is giving us some inside information about the org and this comes from a women, on top of that!!!!!!!

do you have the moxie to admit you frown/ed on women?
blindersoff

Blindersoff, what's your view of women? Honest opinion.

I like 'em. Thanks for asking.
Seriously , I really don't know how to give a meaningful concise answer. I just think every person or situation has to be evaluated individually.
Someone referred to something the Society quoted from an unknown source. 'Men think; women feel'.
I have certainly seen women think & men feel also.
Maybe a more specific question would help me give a better answer. I thought I already gave my opinion about the subject of this thread.
