  Is there a chance this is a list of "proof" she is going to take to the elders to out you as an apostate? That's what my guess is.

  Spain: A group of elder requires clarification to Ministry of Justice regarding sexual molestors

  by sp74bb in

  letter sent today to the ministry of justice... .

  spain bethel sent a letter recently last oct 3 interpreting that no elder or sm should request a certificate of sexual offenses as other churches or persons in contact with kids.

  again jw.org interprets the law to their behalf.. a group of elders in madrid has sent this letter to ask clarification !!.

  They probably don't want their asses sued.

  
  

  Do you blame them? The headquarters is giving them instructions contrary to the law, while making it clear they are personally responsible for congregation goings on. I'd be covering my ass too. Even if genuinely "in" the religion.

  "Why Did JWs Ignore Princes Drug Additctions?" by Barbara Anderson

  by AndersonsInfo in

  over a month ago, the associated press in minneapolis reported that counterfeit pills were found at prince’s home.

  some contained powerful opioid fentanyl, a synthetic drug 50 times stronger than heroin found in dozens of pills.

  these and other mislabeled drugs were found in luggage belonging to the late music star.

  I don't think it's clear they knew about his drug use. From what i understand, he wasn't a regular at the meetings and had a girlfriend, etc. I doubt they knew what he was doing in his own home. Perhaps Larry Graham did, but no one else.

  However, once the rumors & conjecture (including the perocet OD a couple weeks before) became public; the fact the memorial was still held at the hall shows clear preferential treatment (or valuing all the free advertising over losing face with members who see the inequality).

  My deepest sympathies. Her story & posts on here have made a profound effect on many people (including myself). She was one of a kind.

  And I hope her estranged relatives were able to give her some peace of mind and love before her passing.

  Low Day For Me Today

  hi guys.

  it's been about 4 or 5 weeks since i was disfellowshipped.

  so far it's been easy, i enjoyed being left alone, no one bothering me, no one telling me i need to do more, need to reach out, questioning why i didnt go on the ministry, and the fact that my ex-wifes family cant talk to me even if they wanted to.

  If you truly intend to get reinstated, I think you need to stop posting under this name. You got df'd because you were busted by relatives for posting on here right?

  The situation is horrible. I hope you find true friends and leave these phonies behind.

  by Sofia Lose in

  sometimes i get a strong curiosity to start dabbling into other religions, other faiths, you know?

  really different ones such as islam, judaism, hinduism, etc.. has anyone here looked into something else?

  has your spirituality been satisfied by any other than christianity?.

  I'm happy to see this post. I feel something lacking in my life and would like to find something to believe & practice.

  I can't worship the God of the bible (see: http://www.scribd.com/doc/95804194/A-Most-Evil-and-Stupid-Book-The-Bible-s-Moral-Depravity-Contradictions-and-Absurdities#download). So even though Christianity is a good story, the old testiment God is full of hate & anger and I can't reconcile them.

  Yet I feel something missing. They say religious people are healthier, happier and live longer. But where to turn after being so heavily indoctrinated against all these other faiths?

  Has anyone tried New Age and or Science of Mind? I've been dabbling in their beliefs for almost 2 years. But I have an internal fight every time the speaker says & proclaims things as facts with no backing or proof. As a JW, every doctrine & belief had a scripture to back it up (yes I now know they were twisted to meet their needs, but I still could look at the bible and say "this is why we believe what we believe". The only references in these new age churches is books written in the last few decades.
