Why is it you always get an elder asking if they can give you a friendly visit, but they bring along another jerky elder and then it becomes a shepherding visit? I was in hospital about nine years ago, and an elder ask if he could visit with another elder. He didn't like it when I refused, and told him via my wife if two elders happen to show their faces while I'm in my jim-jams, trying to shepherd me in my sick bed, I'll throw the urine bottle over their heads or get my visiting fleshly brothers to do it.

Brother pain in the ass wants to come and visit
by buffalosrfree inmy wife told me she had been asked by a bother (elder type) in the congregation wanted to come by and visit me.
i told her thats fine as long as he doesn't bring anyone else with him and its not just right after he is out in service as i don't want to be used to garner time.
if he is really interested in being nice then come on by, but if not, not to waste his or my time by bringing someone else with him, if i don't know them they aren't welcome in my home, end of discussion.

Hi Ian. I'm from Wythenshawe. I'm still trying to persuade the wife to come, but she's a bit apprehensive since her family is still in the borg.

I AM SUCH A KLUTZ! Hello!
by Geronimo ini've been lurking here and reading for a couple of months now.
i was also a jw for a few years but got myself dfed when i started asking difficult questions, wouldn't stop asking them, and kept pointing out how the wts didn't make any sense.
i am an unrepentent rebellious one who was warned and publically reproved until finally i finally had it out with the elders and they showed me the door.

In some ways yes. I realised that a lot of good people had their lives destroyed by this organisation, and by reading their experiences, helped me on the road to recovery.

What's your present belief ?
by JH in.
without attacking anyone for their beliefs, feel free to state what you believe in right now.. personally, i still believe in a higher power, a creator, call him jehovah if you wish, a god that will put things back right eventually.

No matter what happened to me in this cult, I've never let it destroy my believe in god or the bible. This doesn't mean I look down on somebody else's believes or opinions, I try to live a good life and look out for people's welfare.

I hate everything Hitler stands for, and those modern day fascists. I must admit those cats look quite funny.

I fell for the bs also. I basically hated religions involvement in war, and I can never forget serving in the forces the military chaplains emphasising that if don't believe in god, you won't get his blessing during battle. The fact that the duds as an organisation are neutral, and was searching for god, made me listen to them.

by Gill inawake october 2006. what about sex and violence in the bible?.
'what is the difference between the violence and sex shown on tv and that described in the bible?
the references to sex and violence in the bible are written to instuct, not to entertain.

I was thinking the same Lowden. That account sickens and upsets me every time I read it. That levite was a stinking coward.
