how prevalent was this in your area?
jw man in good standing, elders, ministerial servants, all levels, i have seen them trade off their old wife and marry a younger woman.
they might get df'd for a year or so but eventually return and get all their priveleges back , only difference is they have a new woman on their arm.. the old wife usually has to move to another kingdom hall or accept the new couple being in her face all the time.
Jesus provided him with some personal redemption, that he took for himself.
Sounds like a real cold hearted and selfish cad of a man.
Another thing, what kind of woman was this second one really like knowing all of this.
Perhaps she took up that special redemption for herself as well.
after i decide to leave the jehovah's witnesses one day,i will not look for a new religion.
the damage that the wts has caused me leads me to mistrust all men and religion.. i trusted these men from the wts .
i gave up 35 years of my life to find out that the wts is just a printing and real estate corporation disguised as a religion.
How about modern education, make that your new religion, at least that way
you'll get mostly the truth of all what is to know.
Wisdom is obtained from learning.
Ignorance is obtained from learning ignorance.
some may think that mind control is forceful manipulation of a person.
it is possible to create a "frankenstein" by coercive manipulation and thought control.
it is a process in which an organization, a group or individual systematically uses unethically manipulative methods to persuade others to conform to the wishes of the manipulator(s), often to the detriment of the person being manipulated.
This is all you get from me Watchtower Corporation, for all the lies you sold to the people in my name.
The time will come that you will stand to wait to enter my kingdom and I will not let you enter.

could porn be good for society?physorg.com) -- the arguments against pornography are many, ranging from insistence that porn degrades women and is morally reprehensible to the assertion that pornography viewing is the cause of sex crimes.
however, over the years, there have been numerous studies done on this subject.
The latest Awake magazine to be released dated May 1 2010 : " Righteous Pornography for Modern Day Christians "
Are you touching yourself the proper way ?

It goes to show the mountain of contrived bullshit this organization has cultivated
over the years to keep them operable and sustainable.
What is even more shocking is millions of people who are fed this bullshit swallow it
gleefully in confidence at the local Kingdom halls.
The other disturbing part to this story is the body of JWS
who demonetize and shun others who wont swallow what they have taken in
and arrogantly pronounce " Are you in the truth ? "
Of course all laid out for the righteousness of power and money.

survivors shiver in turkey after quake kills 51by burhan ozbilici and suzan fraser, associated press writersmon mar 8, 3:39 pm etokcular, turkey hundreds of earthquake survivors huddled in aid tents and around bonfires monday in eastern turkey, seeking relief from the winter cold after a strong temblor knocked down stone and mud-brick houses in five villages, killing 51 people.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100308/ap_on_re_eu/eu_turkey_earthquake/print;_ylt=aovcmz.3hc_i9x940453ssxbbbaf;_ylu=x3odmtbvajzzatfybhbvcwmxnqrzzwmddg9wbhnsawnwcmluda--.
monday's quake in eastern turkey followed deadly recent temblors in haiti and chile, but bernard doft, the seismologist for the royal netherlands meteorological institute in utrecht, said there was no direct connection between the three.. "these events are too far apart to be of direct influence to each other," he said.. richard luckett, a seismologist from the british geological survey, said there has not been a spike in global seismic activity.. "if there was a big increase in the number of magnitude 6.0s in the past decade we would know it, because we would see it in the statistics," luckett said.
"we haven't seen an increase in 7.0s either.".
"The reason there are far more reports is that the number of seismograph stations has increased from 350 globally in 1931 to 8,000 today."
Another very important point that brainwashed JWS do not realize in their thinking.
The policy of fear dictates that you don't get all the information, only the information that can be utilized.

but seriously, i do remember years ago prior to entering in on the borg estate that a certain professor asked me to assist a grad student with her research.
she'd decided that the pornography-promotes-rape hypothesis was right and would i help her find the data.
