nelly makes a good point...however I'm thinking of the security aspect of keeping these records, eg if there's a record held at KH of the same address being 'not at home' consistently during certain hours.

JW Discussion Board Lifts Another Story from Another Religion
by blondie inhttp://ohr.edu/yhiy/article.php/3956/html/rss/.
several years ago a rabbi from out-of-state accepted a call to a community in houston, texas.
some weeks after he arrived he had an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area.

Will we be hearing this at a local Kingdom Hall soon?
Carpediem - I heard that one as a young dub... the big blokes (angels) either side of the sister out on ministry.

Invalid Baptism
by dssynergy innew to the board, first post.
just curious if anyone has ever tried to leave because of an invalid baptism.
if a person felt their baptism was invalid because they did it under pressure, and did not really devote themselves to jehovah, and would not now be baptized if given the chance ~ would they still be disfellowshipped or disassociated??

White Dove - My baptism was for status and nothing more.
Yes White Dove - that and shifting responsibility.

Welcome dssynergy I think you'll find TOO MANY Baptisms were under pressure (emotional blackmail even)! Were you a teen? I was a young teen...and Jesus was 30.

The homeless sister and the $60,000 RV
by HappyGuy ini was in a congregation once which had a large number of desperately poor people in it.
there was an elderly sister, she lived near me, a sweet woman, who became homeless because her ramshackled old house caught fire.
around that same time one of the overseers (imagine that using a slavery term), i forget if it was district or circuit overseer, came to town wanting a new rv/truck combo.

If you're a widow or orphan you stand no chance in the WT Cult...not viable. I see it NOW - elderly (JW) widows relying on 'Worldly' people while the Congregation turns a blind eye. Good for you HappyGuy.

Water on the moon? Gee, I wonder why God created that...
by hotchocolate inhttp://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-tc-nw-moon-water-1113-1114nov14,0,1039358.story.

Water on the moon? Gee, I wonder why God created that...
It's obvious to me, lol...and WHY now? Has it always been there (probably not, as surely we'd have spotted it earlier)? Water being necessay to sustain life, then surely this is a sign that the end is close and God is preparing an overflow for all the soon to be resurrected. Far fetched..? Yep. Would dubs buy it? I think so.

Why do they just clutch at straws?
by creativhoney inmy ex husband has been spending a lot of time in my company, and i always use the opportunity to throw another quandary his way.
- when i start, he usually puts his hands to his face and says ohhhh not this again.
- i say why are you so afraid, im only asking you a question or offering a fact.. when he does listen to an argument i offer, most of the responses are just clutching at straws.

JWs are strangers to logic - or they wouldn't be JWs. They repeat the same crap that has been bombarded into their collective mind over the years...the examples you give, I (and no doubt everyone else) have already heard. I was once told by a JW that tobacco is mentioned in the Bible as WORMWOOD (yep, I think some do make up stuff to try and justify the bOrg's teachings)

Dec. 15th WT - WT Skewed View of Love- Preach, Die, Suffer, Help our Own
by flipper inwell, they are up to their old tricks again.
trying to manipulate rank and file members views of what " real love " is again.. the title of the study article is " love that never fails " .
as my jw daughter so succinctly informed me a couple weeks ago that the most important way jehovah's witnesses are counseled to " show love " is by preaching the good news door to door.

Flipper - Personally - I'd like to volunteer Jaracz and the rest of the GB to the front lines - see if they soil themselves or not. Idiots.
Yes...I like that scenario...unlikely, but 'what if' WT HQ was infiltrated and the GB taken 'hostage' under fear of death...and all THEY had to do was renounce their Faith in exchange for their freedom...I wonder what the outcome would be..? It's too easy (for them) to expect strangers to take their place, but personally, I don't think we should expect others to do what we're not prepared to do ourselves.
