Of course, as luck would have it, I had the most feared elder within a couple hundred miles in my hall.

Elders with STRONG personalities....
by JH inthere is an elder in my congregation that has a very strong personality.
he drove volkswagens and many bought the same make as he did.
we had another elder back then that drove a dodge aries and another elder who had a peugeot garage and he sold so many second hand peugeots to members of the congregation.

From what I read, the nine judge panel will review the case, and though there is not a time limit, they expect it to come in 3 to 4 weeks.
Saddam is an evil man, and deserves to die.

What things about "Apostates" do you feel is "controlling" as WTS?
by booker-t inone of the things that i have noticed since i have been out is that "apostates"/ex-jw's tend to try and "controll" you the same way as jw's used to do.
for example: whenever you tell an "apostate" that you are no longer one of jw's they right away asume that you want to be a "born-again" christian and try to cram the "trinity" doctrine down your throat.
also if you tell an apostate that you don't share their views on hell-fire damnation they will immediately look at you with "contempt".

I am sure there are those who find something new to believe in and want to share it with others....personally however, I have never encountered anyone who is an ex-witness who has tried to get me into any other religion.

Rarely. My entire youth was spent as a hard core witness, so it is hard to escape it entirely.

I could not believe that God was going to destroy a genuine good person just because they were not a witness.

Ever know of a great family movie, the Witnesses found demons or evil in?
by free2beme ini remember growing up, the witness children were often ones that were left to see all those g rated movies from disney.
yet even those at time, while accepted by just about every religion out there, were considered demonic.
for example, the following movies were said to show witchcraft and in or congregation we were encouraged to discard them and not own copies of them; sleeping beauty, snow white, the little mermaid, bed knobs and broomsticks, and fantasia.
