  Funny, but True!

  in our local newspaper, a couple weeks ago, there was an elderly man, about 84 years old, had been burning leaves in his yard.

  he'd caught a mouse in his house, and decided to throw it into the fire....the mouse caught fire, and ran back into the old man's house and caught his house on fire.....how's that for poetic justice eh?

  i laughed my a$$ off when i read that...it was somewhere in canada.

  Did the elders ask for sexual details at your Judicial meeting?

  .

  i personally know of two cases where the witness being disfellowshipped was asked to provide excruciating details about the exact nature of the "sex crime" that they had committed.. having read the secret elders manual "pay attention to yourselves and all the flock" i know this is standard operating procedure for a judicial hearing.

  for those that were disfellowshipped for a "sex crime"

  As an elder I sat on many jc's, other than asking if it happened more than once I don't remembering embarrasing anybody and as p.o. I would not tolerate it.

  hi, i just got registered and am looking forward to getting to know others who have escaped from the controlled environment that i was so faithful to for so long.

  i hope to meet others with similar backgrounds.

  i've been out about 4yrs and love the feel of it, but to be honest, as much as a definiate decision it was on my part, there was still a long time of adjustment.

  mrsjones5 sorry to hear about your husband, hope every thing goes well for both of you.

  Recently my aunt had a heart attack. She became very disoriented, not knowing where she was or what she was doing. After being hospitalized for aweek or two and some medication she returned to normal and was sent home. Oh did I mention she is 99 years old and lives by herself. She also has 14 children the oldest being about 80 years old. She's always been my favorite aunt.

  if your jw family members were hurt by someone physically, or financially (ripped off), emotionally or otherwise would you feel sympathy for them and help them?

  I agree with wombat. We must rise above them.

  even though I have daughters that have shunned me for 25 years, if they needed me I would be there for them

  i've started to talk to hubby about things.

  i started with the lack of love in the congs and he readily agrees.

  how "worldly" friends are so much more loving than the so called jw "friends" (which we don't have anymore).. next i'd like to talk about the changes the "society" has made in recent years, how it's so hard to keep up with things now, it changes all the time.. can you help me with a list of changes and some wt references that i can discuss with him?.

  Look up the word UNCONDITIONAL: Websters dictionary defines it: absolute, without qualifying conditions. Let your parents read this meaning and explain what they think it means

  What I've Learned After 2,000 Posts!

  by willyloman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ive been watching my number of posts climb towards 2,000 in recent days.. it seemed a good time to contemplate what ive learned in the two years, seven months and five days (according to my profile) since i joined the interactive fray although i lurked here for more than a year while i was a jw elder.

  during that time, i read every single post starting with the first page and caught up.

  of course, its impossible to read every one now, its so big, but it's been quite an education.
