  JW IQ's. Below average? (Includes SM anecdote.)

  are dub bulbs just a little dimmer than the general population?

  here's a little highlight from this week's local service meeting that prompts my question.. it's the annual, 20 minute, robotic hand-pumping session conducted by the secretary trying to get everyone all hyped/guilted up for this summer's district convention.

  anyway, towards the end of the q&a, there's a paragraph that talks about offering a ride to the elderly/infirm ones in your congo.

  Abandoned saw my "favoritism" before I had a chance to retract it.

  Sorry about that. I just thought it was funny that we were both from good ole Minn......

  But, I fixed it now....

  What is your name?

  i cannot tell you my name because i am a fader.

  i am starting this thread since low-key lysmith and momzcrazy were very surprised they are here on jwd on my thread about what congregations they have attended in their lifetime, so who knows we might be surprised for more online reunions.

  If you feel that I have done wrong, please let me know, so I can be better poster.

  From a third party's perspective, I think why some people are doubting your altruism is the fact that nearly all of your topics are asking people for information that could be used to identify them. Since this board consists of a lot of people who are fading and since it is assumed that elders in the congregation would love to know who in their congregations are members here, that makes many people uneasy.

  has anyone come across a website that people can report and publicly name jw's who have abused them?

  silentlambs has the option to report someone and you can check states where reports have been made.

  however no names are publicly disayed.

  So really it might be something to try and privately collect the info before putting up the site. hmmm......

  Also, as mentioned above, make the information available in one file (PDF, database, etc...) so that even if the site get's pulled, the information still exists on MANY hard drives and can be re-uploaded and continue to be distributed.

  last sunday as i sat at the meeting, being bored out of mind, i looked around the hall to try to.

  determine why each member was in attendence.

  i was there because of family ties.

  Are Witnesses really persecuted?

  by Robert7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you know we hear it all the time.

  witnesses are persecuted by satan, and this is one of the signs of the 'true religion'.

  they love to quote wwii and the concentration camps, but really only 5,000 died versus 6 millions jews.

  Definitely. They actively preach that everyone but them is going to be destroyed by God. Of course they're persecuted, it's only right.
