5Bethelite crushes or should i say disasters?
by jazz ingrowing up in the truth i have witnessed this situation time and time again a family particularly the daughter in the family becomes attached to a bethelite from middle american you know those corn fed farmboy line backer types they attach themselves to a certain family sharing meals at the home of the family,going on outings with the family.but the bethelite takes it in my opinion a step to far when he shows the starry eyed daughter affection by buying her flowers when she makes all her pioneer hours,taking her out to dinner when she gets a g on the ministry school,having lunch every weekend after field service takes her to his hometown to visit his family and friends of course the sister feels extra special but then the bethelite hits her with a ton of bricks when he asks if his fiance can stay at her home when she comes to visit from kansas this happened to a sister in my congregation she was so devastated she went out with a guy that had been asking her out from the job,got pregnant ,disfellow, and has not been back since.
people can usually tell if someone has feelings for you.
so wouldnt you be cautious of your actions so you wouldnt hurt anyones feelings or making them think there is more there than friendship?

Thanks Gopher for the info.

I've got a question. What's happens to these "anointed" 144,000 after Christ reign? Do they come back to the Earth? Does God need them to help him govern?

British And American Intercourse.
by Englishman inok, america, this is it.
you have got to start learning english english at some point or another, after all, us brits are having to learn american english to be able to understand all those films (movies) about how you saved our arses (butts) during the 1939 -1945 (1941 - 1945) war.. now we all know the obvious ones, such as you calling a car bonnet the hood, the boot is the trunk and a spanner being a wrench etc etc.
plus the fact that you eat fries instead of chips and spread mayo instead of butter.

by exodus inmany of you already know about my upcoming disfellowshiping for bogus charges of apostacy.

I'm just wondering if anyone has tape recorded a kangaroo court (JC) proceeding. If I was in one, I'd bring a lawyer.
Has anyone tried the slander or defimation of character route?
Sometimes I feel like opening up an a##-kicking buffet on some elders!

Can you be DF'd for obesity?
by cosmo inif jw's can be(or should i say are) df'd for smoking, why aren't people df'd for obesity.. it seems they say that you are violating your body and hurting it from smoking but i've never seen a person live over the age of 80 that was obese.
just seems like being obese is worse than smoking.

Free2Bme,
no harm, no foul.
I can now see how this subject and others throughout this Board can invoke emotional responses.
