You're killing me Morpheus. Really? Too funny. The two witness rule is the curtain the pedos hide behind allowing institutionalized abuse to fester.

Two witness rule: who cares?
by _Morpheus ini find people railing against the so called “two witness rule” puzzling.
i think its a complete and total non issue.
for those that protest, argue or advocate for change in that rule, why?

My story
by Leeny ini came across this website when i was looking for some emotional/mental support lately as i was summoned by elders to explain someone’s report on me saying “i’m promoting homosexuality”.
i’m inactive, not attending meetings or associating with jw outside of my biological family for almost 2 years now.. yes i am gay (you can judge away) and yes it is in a direct contrast to the scriptures, no arguement about it.. i was brought up in a jw family.
my dad is a typical zealot, he literally talks or thinks about the bible 24/7.

If they didn't baptize little girls you wouldn't have this problem it seems. Good luck and welcome.

Conformity
by barry inhttps://youtu.be/rkens1c7fsg many sda church members unions and conferences are having issues with their general conference which has set up five compliance committees to regulate church entities.
some of the areas the general conference are concerned about are the ordination of women and the general wants to stop more women from being ordained also their are issues with church doctrine homosexuality.
this video is in response to a fight back by a large majority of members 40% wanted womens ordination.

If religious people don't want anyone to tell them what to believe, just stop signing up for an organization with leaders. Just do your own way for the love of Mike.

There were other factors, ie: my niece being born with spinabifida and the fear of it happening to any child I might have, the ministry (pioneered a long time) and such. It certainly didn't help that God's anointed all but made it a taboo. Assholes.

So pleased your family is doing well. Of course they would have been sitting behind a literature cart full of glorified toilet paper if you hadn't figured out it was a scam. Good for you and your family. Sound's like a great trip. I loved to travel when I could.

A. H. Macmillan wrote the book entitled: "Faith On the March". Not a WT publication. He was first a Bible Student and then a JW. He was a close associate of Russell and a WT board member. Yep, he was a witness. Died in 1966.

Faders Needing a Great One Liner
by Solzhenitsyn inso our family fade is well under way.
we changed congregations as regular attenders and left in good standing with those giving hugs and kisses simply knowing we "needed a change".
we moved to a neighboring congregation that is out of our original region knowing we would see no one and the two boe's wouldn't really have immediate dealings.

Turn it on them. Ask, "Have you ever read anything in the literature that made you scratch your head and you really had to take time to think about? That's where I am and I am still working on it." If they say "no", then offer, "its something to think about then". Move on then to how happy and unstressed you are.
