my husband's gone to his meeting and i'm catching up with folks here on our forum.
i'm sure i'm having a better time :) anyway, was just following some posts regarding the un and there happened to be a copy of a magazine article stating brothers wouldn't want to be joining the "y" because it was "christian".
i think this was back in the 1950's (maybe not).
Dunedain..........perhaps you can get her local Elders to help this handicapped 'sister' join the United Nations. As a member, she will be entitled to a 'library card' where she can research new methods of therapy for her physical ailment. Who knows, the U.N. probably has it's own swimming pool and physical therapists on hand that she could take advantage of as a member for free.
wow, this is awesome.
this really shows the jw passiveness towards child sex abusers.
there needs to be more of this exposing this!.

hi everyone to cut a long story short, ive been away from the meetings for over 10 years.
i recently reconnected with the congregation and started a study.
cant get my head around all the changes and jw broadcasting.
Welcome to the forum, Colinconfused!
My advice to you is:Run away, while you still can!
we've frequently discussed how forums are different from real life, yet many have developed close friendships through this and other boards.
some posters are super friendly and personable and others just state their business and do not interact.
i understand human nature and cannot be friends with everyone.
"Desirous of change commented on the "signature" thread that signing one's real-life name, one's "signature", at the end of a post makes one seem more real in an otherwise anonymous setting" - compound complex. Actually, my real name is Mark but almost everyone calls me Sparky in my day to day dealings and I find using my 'nickname' here seems to be more personal and intimate than just being plain, old Mark. When I PM different ones here, I usually sign my real full name and also Sparky so the person can address me back any way that is comfortable for them. But I like the different 'nicknames' here such as 'compound complex' or 'millie210' or 'Village Idiot' or 'Blues Brother' because I feel that each poster is showing a more personal, intimate, quirky side of their personality by identifying themselves this way. Just my 2cents........
this is a true story.
it's about a sister named henriette venema.
she was a very loyal jw.
Jehovah's chariot is on the move.................Who's next?
they have made so many strategical mistakes it's hard to keep track.
some changes within the last decade or so that are contributing to declining numbers of jws:.
1. elimination of book study groups, the most informal, enjoyable and sociable of the jw meetings, contributed to loss of sense of community among jws.. 2. policy of consolidating kingdom halls.
Don't forget the demonization of poor little Sparlock!
there is nothing wrong with accepting new ideas.
even apostle paul changed his mind when he "saw the light".
indeed, i hope to learn new things every day.
New my !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i had a couple of young brothers at my door and one used the word "channel" in referring to how the gb gets inspired.
i was pretty surprised at that.
i've been "out" for a long time and i'm very out of the loop..
UHF? - Vidiot, More like WTF!
They could 'retire' them and make them 'Governing Body Emeritus'. That would make room for the 'second string' players to come off the 'bench'.
