This is true in Germany, the German congregations also have to destroy the information in the files.

Although they may well be able to destroy all information on crimes, there may well come a point in time when the authorities really take an interest in what JWs are doing, it will be clearly documented that the Elders were regularly told to destroy evidence.

There question will then be, "What type of evidence have they destroyed"?

Disaster Demonstration in Kingdom hall

To prepare for a disaster is not a bad idea. If you do not live in an earthquake zone, or an area that can be flooded, the question you ask yourself is, what is there to prepare for? Well that is what I thought, anyway not too long ago a factory caught fire about 1 mile from where I was living, toxic heavy smoke, that kept low and did not disperse so easily. Well luckily for us the wind blew it in probably the safest direction. Away from the residential area across the Rhine river towards Essen. If the wind was in our direction or no wind at all we would have had to evacuate, and practically with no warning.

Also a few years ago in this part of Germany there was ice rain which brought down many overhead power lines and many household had to be evacuated, (no electrical power, no heating) due to freezing temperatures.

But anyway I am still not prepare for a disaster, apart from a copy of my important documents stored in the cloud, and no doubt the NSA, GCHQ and the BDN have copies of them too.

The Angels will guide a nuclear bomb away from the Governing Body!

by John Aquila in

this is one major reason why i dont try to wake up anyone anymore.

they need to take the first step, and then i will help---- if they ask.

otherwise i just listen and marvel at how some of them think.

Driving Force

John, could you keep a straight face?

I would probably have fallen off my chair laughing.

Heeee, great, glad you woke your kids. Just recently woke my daughter, but it was a long process. My wife is still in.

Glad to have you here.

JWs have more good points than bad

by lsw1961 in

1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).

2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.

this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.

Good to see your are still here.

I was talking to my 15 year old daughter (a born in) recently about shunning and disfellowshipping, about how even family members are not allowed to have any contact with a disfellowshipped family member. She said I was lying, because she could not believe how inhumane that is. As a family shunning/disfellowshipping was something we never discussed when I was in.

I think we could be more patient and go easier on them

I wholeheartedly agree with you on that.
