fresh off the recent 1-day elders school.
to keep things readable i'll post "highlights" over the next several days in different topics.
point 1: they have progressed from "just plain" stupid to dangerously stupid.. .
I would like to respectfully say that Sir82 has made a VERY IMPORTANT thread on an important issue here.
It is far too important to be diverted by the troll.
The obvious facts are that they should have been intructed to help the person find real help - and they were NOT.

So what makes you think that elders are in a postion to determine which situations call for professional help, and which do not?
What specific training have the elders received to help them make that determination?
Yes, I can see them standing around a week later after she puts her head in the oven saying - well, I really thought she was much better...she DID give us some nice cookies...

OH Ethos, please knock it off. This is BULLSHIT. Elders have NO business dealing with someone that's suicidal. That's a medical or mental problem that needs to be addressed by someone that can REALLY help.
Exactly. The point here is that they were given absolutely no guidance toward getting a suicidal person competent professional help.
Whether they read her JOB or Mary Had a Little Lamb is irrelevant - this lady needed to be guided toward professional council.

It struck me as ironic that somebody would actually pick JOB as something to read to someone contemplating suicide.
Maybe it is just me, but isn't this story very close to being the MOST DEPRESSING thing ever written in the bible?
the brothers in malawi died, sisters were rapped for not buying a government card which the watchtower organization did for itself with the united nations (ngo status, card carryning members of the wild beast!).
why did the governing body decide it was ok to carry a united nations identification card for the watchtower society as a whole?
this makes no sense, shows how little the governing body and the "dark corporation behind the organization" does not care for jesus christ's little sheep.
Desirous of Change - Do we think that the Troll-Clock may need to be applied to a certain post above?

The point was made on the business news this morning that the brand names are still valuable assets.
They will almost certainly be sold and be used again - very likely in a different place, that is - in a right to work environment.
gillian flaccus from the associated press reports on november 19, 2012 in the christian science monitor that 'the atheist's anti-god message alongside a life-sized nativity display in a park overlooking the beach [has] ignited a debate that burned brighter than any christmas candle... http://www.csmonitor.com/usa/latest-news-wires/2012/1119/nativity-display-lawsuit-atheists-vs.-christians-in-santa-monicahttp://www.csmonitor.com/usa/latest-news-wires/2012/1119/nativity-display-lawsuit-atheists-vs.-christians-in-santa-monica.
what is your reaction to this lawsuit?
is it fair?
This is the kind of stupid, childish bullshit that gives the activit-atheist movement a bad name.
atheists are not actually parties to this suit...but that would ruin the headline I guess....
Besty - the athiests absolutely were the root cause of this contraversy. For several years, the city let them put up their own displays along with the nativities. It got so ridiculous that finally the city just said enough already - now nobody can display.
i honestly think that if i have to watch her sing that stupid song and promote those lifestyle facelifts very much longer, i am going to go get a .45 automatic and shoot out my television screen.. thank you very much for your consideration of this rant.. sincerely,.

Mamochan, that may have been the saddest story I have ever heard...
i have always wondered if the watchtower, being a major player in the brainwashing industry, is part of or incorporates mk ultra programming.. for those not familiar with it, project mk ultra was an illegal cia mind control program that apparently still exists unofficially through monarch butterfly programming.
childern are often the victims of this program, as social engineers and psychological operators found that sexually and physically abusing children produced traits beneficial to the intelligence community, like photographic memory and amnesia (good for carriers of secrets and sensitive information).
monarch programming also produces candidates for manchurian operations.. anyways, it seems that the cia could definitely benefit by using the watchtower to carry out some of this programming, as the structure of the watchtower kingdom halls makes it easy for predators to abuse kids with impunity.. i did a search on this forum and found at least one person who claims to have been a victim of this, if i am reading correctly.
I think that the Illuminati are controlling Debbie Boone and the Facelifts.
Only when we control this will we control this worldwide conspiracy of horror.
coming from aguest's thread where she showed us the article that describes a "brain drain" that has been occuring for centuries do to "mutations" i can't help but be a little fed up with how much negativity comes from the land of science.
sure, facts are facts and they do not set out to sound good or bad, but instead of identifying the problems of doom, like our brains are devolving, why not focus on the solutions to those problems?
where are the hopes and dreams that our culture so desperately holds onto which actually provides the drive to progress towards them.
By the 1900s, it was international law that prisoners of war should be treated well, and after WWII Nazi leaders were executed for breaking those laws.
Actually, the Nazis treated our prisoners relatively well (compared to the horrors of the Japanese) and we in turn did so for theirs.
The Nazis, of course, were much less humane to their own Jewish citizens.
