so typical... their hypocrisy.. six years ago i had a conversation with my sister who asked me what i had decided about my religion.
at that time i was going to the catholic church and i had baptized my daughters.
my exact words to her were, "well, being that if it weren't for the catholic church there would be no "bible" i have allowed the girls to get baptized catholic and that's the way i'm leaning.

there is a thread at http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=aiqqg3xcilesnap3lmkpr98jzkix;_ylv=3?qid=20080115211135aaqpdtb where a person asks how often does has a mormon or jw been to someones door.
the answers surprised me.
most people said not often or never.
Saw one about 18 months ago,
they only called because their daughter needed the 'bathroom' urgently!
It was one of the dominant family!

was there one family that ruled your congro?.
was it referred to as brother so and so congro?.
if you married into that family were you automatically made an m's or elder?.
In my wife's Congo. there is a dominant family which has several marriages into another dominant family!
Many of them are elders amd ms's, the wives are elderette's and wield some clout!

do you ever get nervous making a post, knowing that perhaps you''re going to get "picked on" in one way or another??
?
YES,
because I know the power that the WTBTS has, they and the cong. elders are so successful at lying, it is an awesome experience to be anywhere near some of the things they get up to.
One day, I may be able to post my experiences without the fear,
I can assure you all,
You will be shocked.

someone i know whos mum is a jw said that her mum told her that alot of jws had written to bethel to ask why porter had not been disfellowshipped by the org and apparently they have been told that he was not a jw when he actually abused the children and that when he was asked to be an elder he was asked if there was anything he would like to confess to which is when it all came out , the org have also said that it was all a long time ago so thats why they did nothing !
well the man that abused my child had abused other children "a long time ago" but it did not stop him doing it again .
does anyone on here know if it is true that the org are telling members that he was not a jw at the time he abused children because i believe he has been one all his life?
Bethel are excellent with 'Porkies',
IF he wasn't an elder when he abused children,
he certainly rocketed through the ranks to eldership and being a trustee of the charity!
AND at Head Office! to boot.

she comes home with "sis.
curious says she misses you.".
"tell her i am right here, a phone call away.".
I get the same remark, at least 3 times a week, Sunday lunch time,
Tuesday after the book study and Thursday evening.
IF they are so interested in me, WHY don't they call on me or phone?
I've had this for about 13 years, gets a bit boring.
Remember 2003? Big push to visit ALL interested persons who had previously attended meetings,
Even 20 or 30 years previous!
Never saw or heard from one of them!
