BluesBrother:
That would be the famous JW love of martyrdom that you just described.
I could go on for pages with similar examples but we all know them
this one really freaked me out.
i was so brainwashed at the time i found a way to justify it.
i think i?ve been repressing my anger about this and now i need to vent.

Maybe up in Canada this is true, but here in PA, they would never cancel the meeting for bad weather.
Here on the Gulf of Mexico, they leave town just on the suggestion that a hurricane might be headed our way. They literally run to Tenn. to get away from it knowing full well that the odds of something happening are astronomical, better than getting killed in a car wreck driving to their refuge.
Nobody bothers securing their hovel trusting that "Jah will provide", but then they are first in line for a new JW roof and FEMA aid when something happens BECAUSE THEY DID NOT TAKE PRECAUTIONS.

Dude I'm pretty sure you can post names and location on that one; couldn't have happened tooo many times?
The wife of the local (annointed) PO is dying of cancer. Rather than seek treatment, the combination of no medical insurance and JW love of martyrism means they cannot. They have four daughters who are all DF'ed and thus cannot communicate with their Mom in her last days.
Rather than cut back on his duties to care for his wife, the PO is accepting additional assignments like running the JDub foreign language school. As a result the Sisters from the congo are being asked to "nurse" the wife and perform maid duties around the house like cooking, cleaning, washing and errands.
pope has no bank account either (response to jw query "who at bethel gets da money"?

i talked to him on the phone.
i said that i wanted an apology for him molesting me and my brother by sunday or i was going to take it to court on monday.
he denied what he did to us, but he acknowledged yes on all the identifying questions.
You might want to try getting a confession the same way I did with the man who molested a friend of mine when she was a little girl.
He remembered just fine after the fourth or fifth shock from the generator I hooked up to his junk.
i thought i would open up a thread on firearms and shooting.
personally i was raised around firearms as my dad was not a jw.
some of my earliest memories are of my dad teaching me how to put a round in a fleas ass at 200 meters.
Otherwise anyone carrying guns around would be thought of as a criminal or a nutter. Someone will call the police on them.
So which one was Winston Churchill?
Wish I could find that pic of him toting a drum fed Thompson
And Katie? Go play in traffic if you're going to keep making up your facts

Kid-ANice of you to post your family's portrait. Which one are you?
That would be him on the right with Dad. His Mom and sister are pretty hot though, and they sure do like my big gun!
hey, guys.... looooooong time no see.
some of you might remember me but it's been a very long time.
still in grad school, and have a new (sort of) hobby.. i've always liked guns.
Justice-One is correct. I can't purchase a handgun, but I can possess one.
That's pretty convoluted, but upon investigation I agree.
I have the Dillon 1050 set up right now for 9X25 and the Dillon 550 for 38 Super. I was raked over the coals by the Elders because of the handguns. Benelli M1 Super 90 Shotguns, AOK, AR-15 check no problem, M1A again no big deal but handguns are considered to be of no value except for people shooting. They spent a long time ascertaining whether I slept with one in the hope that a burglar would enter so I could shoot him (Intent) I was allowed to publish while owning them and the issue went away when I was switched to another congo

just called their media line:.

asked a young man named bryce where is the official press release on the cano pedophile situation.
Bebu: elders who have had a history of molesting can have their records destroyed.
The exact verbage is more like: BEFORE being appointed as an Elder, any records will be destroyed.
As you can see there is a big difference. While both are covering up molesting, the latter gives the Brother a chance for reformation and forgiveness.
Personally I say Eff 'em but that's why I'm on the outside

many years ago, there were many white cars around, but since 10 years around here, maybe 1% of cars are white.
and most of them are old cars.. i don't know if this is just a local thing, but you just don't see white cars anymore in most new car dealer parking lots.. for some reason, i still like white and haven't had one in years, and i do change car often, and was wondering if white is "out" and old fashioned now a days..... i think that there are many white cars where the climate is hot, but up here in canada, it ain't so..
The classic color combo for sports cars is white over red with a black convertible top.
I've got two whites in the garage now and I love them. The secret to keeping them clean is to rotate them and keep the spare covered in the garage. The ready use one should also be covered when not in use.
