i just saw on the local news that a jw i have personally met and whose family i know was arrested for child pornography.
he is only about 30 years old.
this is the second case in 2 months involving an arrest for a child sex crime within the same congregation (the man on the news actually moved away a few years ago).

i've been lurking for a while, and feeling a little guilty about being here.
you know, the ol' internet is evil thing.
it's been a big topic down our way recently.
hi ozzygal and welcome to the bored.
in answer to your question - let me ask you another - who decides what you think? You or the GB? (essentially the board of directors of a global book publishing company known as the WTBTS). It's that simple really.
I hope this helps and welcome back to the real world.

i wonder how many readers of the watchtower have noticed the seeming inconsistency of the 144,000 teaching in the april 1st issue?.
after discussing the symbolic nature of the numbers 666 on the wild beast comes this statement:.
"immediately after disclosing the number 666, revelation mentions 144,000 followers of the lamb, jesus christ, who have his name and the name of his father, jehovah, written on their foreheads.".
it's all BS so who really gives a f**k?

according to a pro-islam website... islam?s history is filled with conquest and violence.
i was intrigued by another posters post about how the crusades were in response to the muslims invading the western world... so i had to do my own research to see if this was actually true.. as it turns out, the muslims have a habit of trying to take over the world.
how are the GB "accomodating" islam into it's latest attempts at mind controlling (ie. lying to) the rank & file - i'm a little out of touch and wouldnt mind being updated
tnx

liberal (from cains concise english dictionary) - a wishy washy, left wing, bleeding heart, politically correct, what ever way the wind blows opportunistic collectivist.
& therefore because he won't tolerate anyone who isn't a wishy washy, left wing, bleeding heart, politically correct, what ever way the wind blows opportunistic collectivist JANH is also a FASCIST.

it took everything i had to stay seated thru the bookstudy tonite, i felt like getting up and leaving.
the fact that i'm the designated reader did'nt make matters any better either.
i'm not sure how many people on the forum have the isaiah's prophecy book but if you do have a copy check out chapter 21.. chapter 21 in paragraphs 3 talks about how enemies of the israelites (pharoah, nebuchadnezzar)were compelled to acknowledge that jehovah was with his people.
hello leander, yea what a pain that BullSh*t is/was!
here's something else to contemplate during the next book study:
i remember reading in "in search of christian feedom"
(can't quote you the page for a few reasons:
1) the book is really thick
2) the index is not the best
but most importantly,
3) i really couldn't give a f**k anymore )
where RF enlightens us with the real reason we forced to undergo multiple re-visits/re-reads to such inanities as the isiah book -
old inventory (ie. those stoooopid books like the isiah book etc ) were taking up space in the warehouse at brooklyn and the GB needed to clear it to make way for more new stooopid books
what better way to accomplish this than under the guise of "proper food at the proper time" - i'm almost vomiting as i find myself typing this
apparently they figured that in the time between the last reading of the crap at the book study and the revisit to it second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh etc time round
a whole new bunch of j-dumbs would have come on board who would have to buy it + existing j-dumbs who had lost their old copies and so on and so forth would have to repurchase
- easy way to get rid of a few thousand pallets of old surplus STOCK without even trying lol
or better still - double combination it - make the old books that are taking up space in the brooklyn warehouse the book for the book study PLUS the offer for the month
didnt we all feel good offering such incomprehensible nonsense at the doors?
i feel such remorse and shame
god bless you leander

ps. i'm sure others here would remember this from "in search of christian freedom" and can let us know the page number - thnx
"yesterday is gone, and tomorrow may not be mine, so help me sweet jesus, live one day at a time"
i am shocked at the many accusations against jehovah's witnesses in this forum.. i know that i am young, but most of my family are jws and they are good people and i love them.
even my worldly family is very nice and i do not shun them.
the friends in the hall are very nice also.

hello everybody i'm new here, i'd like to contribute something i wrote myself it's called:
"emptiness at 4 a.m."
rotten rags of memory are cast
delerious language inspired and vast
world full of invisible things
judgement tonight the hour brings
emptines at 4 a.m.
slow motion hands abandoned and calm
emptiness at 4 a.m
transfigured in solitude beneath the black sun
grand mechanics of desire confessed
marcel duchamp and the game of chess
dreams forgotten equal all i don't know
ask me a riddle, i'l give you a stone
emptiness at 4 a.m.
slow motion hands abandoned and calm
emptiness at 4 a.m
transfigured in solitude beneath the black sun
miracles performed so as to deny them
light observed in the mirrors of the blind
letters in blank verse posted at random
so the languid spectre of genius shines
emptiness at 4 a.m.
slow motion hands abandoned and calm
emptiness at 4 a.m
transfigured in solitude beneath the black sun
emptiness at 4 a.m.
emptiness at 4 a.m
