when i was 17 i got pregnant (omg)!!!
i was in a meeting with 3 elders from my nj cong.
and the questions they asked:.
Hello freefromjws
I went through the same thing, they asked the same questions. they ask all those questions to find out Exactly what happened, without leaving out major details that could have an effect on the decision.
Lol - yep SeanGuy, because it's CRUCIAL to know every 'sordid' detail of intimacy to discover if someone has committed a disfellowshipping offence.... Eh, eh? Bunch of perves with self-appointed power.
the bible states that the star led the magi to herod, then to jesus.
was the star of satanic source?
The three wise men arrived to visit the child lying in the manger.
One of the wise men was exceptionally tall and smacked his head on the low doorway as he entered the stable.
"Jesus Christ!" he exclaimed.
"Write that down, Mary," said Joseph
"It's better than Derek."

Two witnesses to molestation-what could be more blatently insane
Lol - yes. Does the WTBTS think that all the Catholics it condemns followed the 2 witnesse rule? I think not.
hello everyone.. i'm an "active" jw and have been for...13 years but my faith in the jw org died about 5 years ago.. so, i've been doing the jw thing for 5 years now without believing in it.
i might be an ms soon, unfortunately.. i tried telling my parents about it but they said apostates are good with twisting words and whatnot.. they wouldn't even let me show them evidence of wt hypocrisy; however, my mother did say she found it odd that every once in a while, there's that publisher resolution of donating a certain amount a year.
there might be hope for her yet.
Frankly Chameleon - your parents KNOW you're not happy in the Org (as you've said as much), but, like all Dub parents, they would prefer you to remain unhappy so they can 'keep face' and ACT the perfect dub-family.

Welcome Chameleon.

Lol - in MY experience, the WTBTS are the experts in that!

Welcome majornewsin - just read this on another thread, great news eh?
Average JWs are totally unaware of all this I reckon - it'd be a great idea to print it off and distribute it amongst the dubs and nail a copy to the Kingdom Hall doors!
what do you think about the wts prohibition on beards?
currently in the us, i think a brother can wear a beard, he just won't be used in the congregation.
i see all references in the wt to beards are in a negative light, such as the supreme court upholding a supermarket chains no beards rule.
It's portrayed as something that could prevent a JW from giving a witness, as the householder may associate the beard with something that would prevent them from listening.
.....otherwise they listen, yes?
there are so many new posters here now, i think this topic should be revisited.
i believe the most ridiculous belief that witnesses have is a "slave class" made up of 144,000 give spiritual "food at the proper time".
why can't jws see thru this??
Oxymoron.
Hello Hells Fairey, another Brit! Welcome to Planet JWD!!
