  Do JW Children Still Call Adults "Aunt" and "Uncle"?

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was young we were taught to refer to other adult jws as aunt or uncle.. was this also the case in other countries and does it still happen?.

  was it just a custom or has the literature ever commented on it?.

  thanks.

  Never heard of this custom in NYC I area, I agree with what Giordano said, it was also Bro. or Sis. and Aunt and Uncle was for closed friend of your parents.

  CO kept mispronouncing "debt"

  by Red Piller in

  2. experiences

  so, this happened a while ago - but i never posted on it.

  during a co visit, he gave a talk relating to jesus ransom (i think) and the "debt" that was owed by sin, etc.... he kept saying "debt" and he kept pronouncing the "b".

  so it sounded like "deb-t".

  My fave is when a brother who was a terrible reader, Southern with not much education, however he excelled at plumbing, one of the few brothers who, if he did work in your house you wouldn't have to worry, he did top notch service, Anyway during his talk he kept pronouncing Hittites as high titties all through the talk

  Good work Flipper !

  The husband sounds like a major tool, but I bet the wife will probably look on the internet to read more about it.

  here is part of a scam e-mail delivered to my junk folder (i glance thru it every so often for kicks).

  i highlighted the parts i found especially goofy:.

  I used to work at Morgan Stanley, in the Legal Dept, they had a small group of folks actually devoted to Nigerian scams. I guess on the corporate level they're a bit more "professional" in their scamming or Morgan is just an ass backward financial firm, (guess which one I think it is)

  ABCNews Nightline: Segment on JW absuse cases here......

  by WingCommander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is the segment on the conti abuse case in california and jehovah's witness's response as reported on by the abcnews nightline broadcast which was shown early this morning.

  it really displays some absolutely shocking behavior from not only her abuser and his (supportive) wife, but also the jw attorneys and elders via video.

  i am just blown away by the audacity displayed by these monsters.. we can now understand why governing body member stephen lett slipped in his comments a couple of weeks ago about "untrue reports of child abuse" in one of his talks which can viewed on the cult's website.

  I wonder how the folks in their Congregation view the wife, I wonder if they all knew that besides Candice, he also abused his wife's granddaughter . . . What a sick bunch of folks. I wonder if the wife is all loving and friendly at the meetings and then when she gets home she turns into the character we saw on the broadcast night

  Kendrick just say he's still in good standing with the Cong, for some reason they let molesters back, but I thought beards were still not allowed, but I see that they are. His wife btw is a real nut job herself since he also molested her granddaughter but she's still his loving wife?

  What stands out to me in that picture is they are obviously on a beach, are those two sisters so eager to get their time in that they actually walk up and down a sandy beach with the rags in their hands thinking that people will obviously stop and listen to them ?

  take a look at the linked ap photograph and tell me what you think:.

  - miss black u.s., miss black georgia and miss black teen .

  what would the likes of al sharpton say if the hallowed event this weekend at the edmund pettus bridge in selma, alabama had been attended by a miss white u.s., miss white georgia and miss white teen?

  Marvin, what exactly happened to you within the last few days to start this topic? Were you cut off in traffic or mugged or something (no need to mention the ethnicity if what I wrote did, in fact happen). Just wondering what makes you start such a thread.

  But generally speaking I've noticed as I mentioned in my first post on this thread that when somebody posts somebody about the race, it goes on for 20 or more pages.
