i would probably collapse laughing.
It'd funny, I have seen churches disband because not enough supporters could pay the rent/utilities(uncompensated pastor). Members just joined another church and had to travel a bit more for services. There was disappointment, but not life changing upheaval.
This thread is just a reminder of the fact we were truly in a cult!
so i have been thinking.
i know this is something taboo to the dubs, but f them.
i am a free moral agent.
i am very interested in getting crisis of conscience being fully available as soon as possible.
march 12th will mark exactly three months since the cease-and-desist letter was written.. i understand that things are slow and that deborah may be sick, but i was just wondering if anyone knew the status.
i have been asked twice already where the book can be obtained in spanish and i have told people that the book is not available.. there are ways to make ebooks extremely hard to share.
ralph candelario is a jw.
he murdered his jw wife (his second wife) around january 2014 in walsenburg, colorado.
his first wife disappeared and has never been found but the jury was not permitted to know this.
10 years ago his mom was arrested for putting her grandson in a dog kennel every night for 3 years. That's where he came from. She thought it was the only alternative to the boy running the streets while was at work. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/grandmother-accused-of-locking-grandson-in-dog-kennel-charged
this may be old news to some while most won't even know who he is.
in case you don't know him, he was a jw that defended many of the jw doctrine publicly.
he did this mainly in the form of two books, jw's defended and three dissertations on the teachings of jw's.
last I read there was a divorce and estrangement of all kinds.
here is his blog from Jan 2016: http://elihubooks.blogspot.com/2016_01_01_archive.html
this is the finale of my meeting with watchtower's circuit overseer henry turner in an attempt to reach a settlement agreement with some kind of resolution .
if you watched the 1st 2 parts you will need to see this because it is in my opinion the best part.
i have also included more still shots of the players so that it will be easier to follow.
hi all, whilst i have been a member of this forum since 2004, i have slowed down in my visits and comments.
i have called in to ask if there has been any discussion on the "loud fence" campaign that is to be seen vividly around our home town of ballarat victoria australia?
there are many catholic institutions around this town that have had ribbons of many colors looped onto their fences in support and acknowledgment of child rape/abuse and also as survivors.
the arc are indeed a patient lot who don't pressure.
they make sure a person feels safe.
they don't hold back with legal information either.
so my mum who is in and really is finding it hard that i have left and faded.
shes asked me if i want to the the circuit overseer next week.. i have never met him and this is more my mum wanting me to get my problems i have with the organisation out.
but should i share everything i've learnt or what?.
my dog and other pets do their "business" and run away and are happy.. man does not have that luxury.
any thoughts on why animals were created with the "poop and go" capacity while man has to go through more steps?
was this perhaps an additional issue that god added on when adam and eve sinned (such as eve having significant more birth pains)?
Animals don't wipe, but humans don't want to smell like a filthy toilet. Not complicated. We wear clothes and sit on furniture, neither of which they do, unless humans let them(ew, another conversation).
I have seen animals in the wild and they can be kinda raunchy smelling/looking. Even on a not so well kept farm animal you will see filth. Some animals lick themselves and then lick you. EW.
The difference is that we care. Not that our bodies need more wiping.
