Good point. I broke my golden rule on this site of ignoring bone heads and the plain uninformed.
My mistake and it won't happen again
the experience that follows contains some details that some might find graphic.
so be warned.. the body of elders received word that an unmarried ministerial servant, age 20, had been seen fondling a younger male bible student, age 14. the ministerial servant himself had been studying with the boy.
the ministerial servant was a quiet, timid brother.

"HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS INCIDENT?," Quote
If the elder had been forthcoming and said I am a minister of religion, this was told directly to me by the victims mother, the police would have had someone to contact and also may have info on how to find the perpetrator, as he had bolted. You undertstand? Being a christian, others in the fold may know where the perp has run to...
Do you work in this field Reniaa? I do and have for many years. This is bordering on illegal and certainly immoral and the evil thing is they know it (it's the legal dept).

Stunning and chilling!
A clear evidence that the wtbts are hypocrytical liars, only too keen to hide pedophiles.
Surely much worse than the pharisees of the first century.
I challenged my habits at one point to understand the basis for addiction. Wow there was so much I did (do) without being aware of it.
Finally my ego got disturbed by my constantly changing the borders, so I came to realise that humans and animals generally, are creatures of habit.
It's a matter of of sifting out what's a harmless habit and what's a dangerous addiction.
A fine line.
a sin worse than apostasy .
there was a very nice young couple in our congregation with one child.
no one could see why she should not be reinstated.
Reading that account gave me an immediate thought. She was attractive.
Subconsciously the elders were sexually attracted to her, as they are the roosters in the henhouse. She rejected them by looking outside, so they as good as killed her.
Only sexual rejection can create such a reaction.
i think i got a donation maybe once or twice here in the states.
most of the friends don't ask for a donation.
in south america, more people donated, but i think it's because it was phrased differently, we used to say, "you can give whatever you want for this magazine.
I always had the attitude, How can I charge money for truth?? Receive free, give free. (I know that wtbts always had a price on "truth")
That is still my mantra. When I read New Age stuff that charges thousands for a three day spiritual course I cringe and cry bullshit!
7 am - i wake up and walk up to my wife, "good morning, my precious!".
7:30 am *she hits the flasher button indicating she needs me* "yes, my queen??
" wife "oh stop.
Seeing I have no current fem in my life, I say to self "Gee your'e a great guy, let me buy you lunch!"
Self blushes and replies "Now you'll think I am interested in you if I except"
hubby says this site is making me obsessed, in a way that's making me angrier and angrier about jw's.
it's been almost every single day that i read a thread that seriously gets under my skin or makes me sick about them.
he's right, there's a lot on here that will only fuel my fire and help me to go into an angry spiral instead of bettering my life and forgetting about all the stuff i hate about the witnesses.
T o back up Carla's point, I ran into a jw not an hour ago and he actually spoke to me!
So I told him how (honestly) happy I am and that my exjw daughter is now a supervisor of ICU in the states largest hospital and is joining Doctors Without Borders when her children are old enough to take care of themselves. It's a gentle dig that "worldly" people are doing far more in a practical way than jws ever did to relieve people's suffering.
He seemed genuinely touched, so my witnessing for my current truth may have planted a seed.
imagine obama goes to the beach with his body guards....goes for a swim and disappears forever...no body, nothing!
this is what happened with our prime minister harold holt in 1967. went for a swim with a couple friends and bodyguards and disappeared.
search and rescue found nothing.
Cameo-d, you are closer than you realise!
He was having a long standing affair and was actually at the beach with her when it happened. That is why there was so much secrecy.
They had a holiday house down the coast from Melbourne. It is a notorious area for strong rips and large sharks. He was fit, a keen diver and swimmer but that coast is treacherous esp on the tide change.
if not, what age will you be when you are old?
as you age, do the answers change?.
Wasn't it said that you are only as old the one you feel? LOL
