Is the FDS losing control?
by Hermano ini believe there is growing unrest amongst jws.
they may not be very cohesive or organized, but the rigorous demands for obedience coming from the leadership and the unbending, never ending list of rules, not to mention the end that has been ever so-close for so long yet never climaxes, has a lot of jws frustrated.. don't get me wrong.
i know there are some jws that will hang in there no matter what they're told to do and will obey without question.

I would never discourage anyone who detects cracks in the edifice of the WTS. I think that that hopeful attitude is a breath of fresh air and will ultimately prevail - just maybe further down the road than we would wish. It isn't a matter of if, but when. The generation that sees that within their grasp is the generation that will probably make it happen.
It is oh so easy to be cynical - in fact nothing could be easier - but I am pinning my hopes on those who envision sooner rather than later.

Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes split due to religious fears!
by mind blown inword on the street is though katie holmes knew cruise is deep into scientology, she now has a better understading of this cult and wants to protect their child from the cult.
i guess tom and scientology has turned his and nicole kidman's kids against kidman.
now that suri is coming of age, holms does not want suri to become a scientologiest and is afraid this same outcome will befall her if she doesn't get full custody of suri .. the interesting thing is holmes is going to have to prove scientology is dangerous to her child and new york is not a joint custody/friendly state.

I told Mr Bee this evening that he must brace himself for some very bad news. He looked startled for a nano-moment - then, knowing me, he grinned and said, "Yes, dear - now what?"
"Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are splitting up."
"Oh, no. Yuk yuk - who could have seen that coming?"

i wonder if the body craves certainn food subconsciensly perhapse craving food which the body is lacking.
I wonder, too. If I fail to have some red meat for a few weeks, I crave it - perhaps a guard against anemia or low B-12?
Just thought of another mayo favorite:
Sourdough bread, lots of mayo, lots of sliced avocado, S & P, and lots of chopped red or white onion. The mayo holds it all on the bread. Plus a good red wine to drink while assembling the sandwich and while eating it. Oh, baby! Comfort food.

Coco,
I, too sing the praises of mayo. That most pedestrian of French sauces creates a bridge between so many disparate flavors.
Chocolate mayonnaise cake.
Caesar salad dressing.
Chicken or tuna salad.
Sandwiches of every type.
Salad dressings in general.
With extra lemon juice, a dip for artichokes.
A side dressing for cooked beets.
Slathered on pork chops, then dipped in bread crumbs and slow-baked.
With lemon, it dresses cold salmon.
Indispensible!

Funny how childhood food remains a touchstone for comfort as we grow older.
My mother used to make us sandwiches thusly:
Toasted bread, one piece spread with mayonnaise, one spread with mustard. One or two scrambled eggs fitted atop the bread, sliced pickles and tomatoes on top of that. Cheese melted on the eggs was a bonus.
So, I no longer eat bread, but craving the flavors, you know? So I made a 2-egg omelet, topped with a chopped tomato, diced sour pickles, slathered with a bit of lo-cal mayo, and a few squirts of mustard. Heaven.
And you?

Good analogy, Terry.
I would only add that the WTS employed coercion to force our continued investment of the most precious resource we had - time.
For many of us born-ins, that time given in service of the WTS's interests, was at the expense of education, experience, and important life choices.

How Long Should A Pedophile Be Shunned By The Church?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inat what point do we know a pedophile has repented of his sin?
how long should we shun a child sex offender, should the watchtower have thrown out the sex offenders the congregation for five, ten, twenty years?
how should a congregation deal with a sex offender who thinks he has grappled and beaten his urges?.

Regardless if the pedophile is repentant or not, abuse of children is a crime that must be reported to the authorities.
Yes, I think this is the essence of the case.

FWIW:
The Turtle and the Scorpion
A turtle was happily swimming along a river when a scorpion hailed it from the shore.
“Dear friend turtle!” called the scorpion. “Please let me climb upon your back and swim me to the other side of the river!”
“No,” replied the turtle, “for if I do, you shall sting me, and I shall die.”
“Nonsense!” replied the scorpion. “If I kill you in the middle of the river, you shall sink, and I shall drown and die with you.”
The turtle thought this over, and saw the truth of the scorpion's statement. He let it upon his back and began swimming towards the other side of the river. Halfway across, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck.
“Why have you stung me?!” cried the turtle as his body began to stiffen. “Now you shall die as well!”
“Because it is my nature,” replied the scorpion sadly as they both sank beneath the waters.
Furthermore, the Society, in their arrogant ignorance, puts way too much stock in "repentance." Repentance connotes sinning against God and seeking forgiveness and absolution. A judgement of one's peers should not be part of the equation.
