Congratulations on your impending mommy-hood. I am soon to be a grandma for the first time and I wish that your child only knows people who love and care for her or him unconditionally.

Why Did Romania's Jehovah's Witnesses Disfellowship The Governing Body For Apostasy?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inthere is a large group of jehovah's witnesses that broke away from the watchtower society in the 1990s.
can someone explain to all the interested jwn lurkers and faders, why these romanian and other eastern european witnesses disfellowshiped the governing body in new york?.
i received a email from a member claiming to be part of this group, i was told they "disfellowshiped the governing body" for disobedience to jehovah god and not following the fine examples of brother russell, rutherford and knorr.

While GB Cry Apostate Persecution ,,,,,,
by mind blown injw's fail to realize, most of their persecution is not from preaching jesus message, it's from down right disgusting behavior from the gb who shows no remorse.

Wha happened: You said that they act in a provocative manner and then claim persecution. Isn't this justifying the persececutor in a way that a woman who dresses provocatively is said to be "asking for it"? In other words, does this mean that our actions CAN bring on undesired behavior that we should be wise enough to avoid or shut up about it undesired-since we are seeking it out by our action?
I would like to say that while I don't support persecutors or abusers (of any kind), your post points out that we often act in ways that are DESIGNED to bring about behavior that we often then see being decried as abusive. Indeed it is! However, anyone who is trying to get a reaction out of another can't really play the victim game too much or they lose personal credibility. Abusers (of all sorts) have no excuse, but 'victims' need to use wisdom to avoid victimization.

Good news, finally regarding my ex-elder-pedophile-father-in-law...
by misguided inabout two weeks ago he was arested in bc, about 35 years too late thanks to wts cover-up.. he had a baby with my ex-husband's sister - my kids have a cousin who is also their aunt.
this was all covered up by moving from ontario to bc back in the early 1980s, and it all being hidden by the wts; even allowing this guy to serve as an elder after the fact...when i got married to my ex, his father was an elder, and the baby of the incest was 15. .
today and from now on, hopefully things will unravell for the wts in canada, as he sits in jail in ontario (where the crimes were committed)charged on 24 counts of sexual abuse.. i hope there is a lot of embarrassment going on in that congregation in ladner, bc when all this originally came to light about 28 years ago, the congregation that let this man become an elder...because, my own parents seem to be in "cover-my-ass" mode when it comes to talking about this matter with me..

35 years after it was known he abused his daughter he was arrested. This guy is a pedophile and a rapist. You think he STOPPED 35 years ago? For all you know he was arrested for hurting a little girl last month or last week!

The internet and social media work beyond the MENA region. For awhile, Mexican/S.Americans may have been ignorant of the WT ways, but they are no stupider than Americans(US) which means that they, too, can see a pile of crap once they realize that the light dusting of sugar is just a distraction from the fecal matter.

The WT, the Millerites and Orson Wells
by Aussie Oz init is well known of course that ct russell was a fan of william miller and the mans teachings.
indeed his colaboration with millerite nelson barbour cemented russells love of all that was millerism.. i recall some time ago a thread wherin it was mentioned that fred franz had a library stuffed full of millerite books and so on, and that he himself modeled his own style of address and writing after william miller himself.. with that sort of impact on the doctrines and teaching methods adopted by the society at that time, i am also wondering about orson wells book 1984.. could it be plausable that this book also has its place on the shelves of some locked away private library?
published in 1949, the wt leadership has had plenty of time to study the methods of the novel and try them out.

You have it all wrong, folks. Orwell got the IDEA for 1984 from his study of Jehovah's Witnesses. Something inspired him and the JWs were manipulating the sheep long before 1948 when Orwell wrote the book.

JW email - gag alert - Phillipines floods
by dozy inthe latest jw email doing the rounds:.
"dear brothers,.
the latest we are hearing - still unofficial - is brighter news!.

Exwhyzee, Ssn587 is right. The Philippines is very primitive in many areas-probably most expecially in the places your adventure loving son enjoys being. If he is in the dangerous area, he is probably busy helping. Being young and in good physical shape will protect him from a lot of "unforseen occurrences". He is probably having a blast in another neighborhood altogether, though and just not thinking to contact his old mom and dad(as he seems to not be in regular contact since before the floods.)
My best to you and your family.
