  Prince and addictive drugs…a possible loophole?

  by Londo111 in

  according to the elder's rulebook, there is this addendum in the chapter on the grounds for judicial committee and the section: "misuse of addictive drugs":.

  please note: the use of addictive drugs under medical supervision, such as for pain management, would not necessarily require judicial review.

  when questions arise, consult with the branch office.. .

  Maryo..........I have had 2 Elders from the hall I used to attend tell me directly that they are on anti-depressants. One bragged (or complained?) to me that he would have to be on them until Armageddon because he has 'a chemical imbalance' and that he wouldn't know what he would do without them or if he didn't have his position. 3 more are taking either antidepressants or Valium or a combination thereof. (This I learned from family members of these Elders). All is NOT well in Jehovah's Spiritual Paradise.

  if you have the jw app running on your tablet, watch the latest (may) governing broadcast and hear tony the jackass, and when you get to 7 minutes and 44 seconds ...hit the pause button.. read the words at the bottom of the screen as per the jw app close captioning.. "well beyond the intent of the scriptures" .

  he is describing the governing body past, like the ghost of christmas past.

  yes, the governing body past were a bunch of freaking yahoo's violating 1 cor.

  This whole JW.org business drives me absolutely insane. It is CRASS COMMERCIALISM masquerading as a form of RELIGIOUS WITNESSING. It is ill mannered, rude, crass, and nothing more than RELIGIOUS HUCKSTERISM!

  Khaleesi.........by the mid '70's the 'white Bethel boys' could have a moustache and sideburns to the bottom of our earlobes neatly trimmed. In fact, I had sideburns down to the bottom of my earlobes and Lon Schilling (The assistant Farm Overseer and now highly placed) had fairly bushy sideburns down to the bottom of his earlobes too! I never grew a moustache until I left Bethel and have had one for 39 years.
