You should see when they pass a resolution at the hall. All in favor?.....everyone raises their hand. Any opposed? Of couse not. There you have the WT democratic justice system
It's all bogus BS.
ok so i've never been a jw, so i don't have insider experience with this, so let me know what you think.... an aquaintance of mine is an ms in his local congregation, and he recently told me about a "review" that he did of a newly published wt brochure (i don't recall exactly which brochure it was as there are so many stinking borchures...and who cares anyway).
i asked him what the purpose was of "reviewing" the thing, and he told me that the wt always asks for input on their new material.
so he read the brochure, i.e.

there's an article at msn about how british scientists have discovered that fish do feel pain.
animal activists are having a fit.
so, fisherman everywhere, i implore you.......repent!

hi ya'll, i posted my introductory thoughts in others main posts, (good or evil where do you draw the line?
) and in (what's the reason?
the part two).
BT&S,

a couple of days ago there was a fuenral at the hall for a gentleman who was the grandfather of my former best jw friend.
this was a kind old man, who i had enjoyed talking to; a real sweet guy.. yet, when it came time for the funeral talk, i couldn't bring myself to go.
everyone (including this old gentleman) had abandoned me (besides my family) when i had left the jws (not df'd).
I think that you did the right thing and spared yourself some unnecessary pain by not attending. You can always send a sympathy card to your former best friend, expressing your respect and appreciation for the life of his grandfather. That would be a kind gesture and one you can feel good about without all of the undue stress you would have felt had you gone to the funeral.
All the best

i just saw dan rather on tv, and he said it would air about child abuse in another promanent religion!!!!!!!!!!
it will air at 5:30 central time, adjust the time to your area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just saw another teaser about the piece, just 30 minutes before it's due to air. Looks like it's good to go.
Kim,
An excellent post and oh so true! Reminds me of the scripture where the Pharisee's say....."Keep warm and well fed" as they go about their self serving business and ignore the real needs of people.
How convenient!

Jesika,
You are right. I had checked Silentlambs.com and didn't see it anywhere. It is posted at Silentlambs.org.
Thanks!

I'm wondering why a notice about the CBS piece isn't posted at Silentlambs website. Or have I missed it?

most of the jw young people that i have known are either inactive, irregular, or "out of the truth" completely.
very, very few are still associated as witnesses now.
are there any zealous young people out there anymore??
It seems that all but two JW kids with an unbelieving parent have left my old hall. The ones who have complete JW families are doing a better job of hanging in, naturally. I had one of those kids, an 18 year old, have the audacity to scowl at me, a middle ager, when I saw her at a store recently because I am inactive. I had always thought she was cool and just going through the motions because of her family but evidently not. Like the JW's say...."baby snakes grow up to be big snakes."

i just wanted to let you know, in case you didn't hear about it yet, that the silentlambs (jehovah's witness child abuse victims) are going to be interviewed tonight on "cbs evening news" (6:30 eastern time; 5:30 central time).. i believe child abuse survivors heidi and amber, and also bill bowen are going to appear on the program, but i am not 100% sure.. i saw the tv commercial for the interview, and the commercial said it was coming on tuesday, april 29th, 2003 on cbs evening news!.
"beyond the catholic church -- another church under fire for child sexual abuse scandal".
set your vcrs!.
"And wait until you hear what happened when she went to church leaders for help"....
Look out Brooklyn! It's gonna be a bumpy night!
