anything blood related was difficult to reasonably prove from a witness perspective.. 1914 was another one.

Shocking Example of JW Elder Corruption
by Roger Kirkpatrick inlet's play a game of believe it or not, shall we?
i'll relate a story, and you decide whether you believe it or not.
what would you think of an elder who told his daughter's fiance that he would kill him if he ever did anything to hurt his daughter?

At least that faithful servant of Jah just threatened death.
I guess you're not from the NY area, you didn't hear of the story in the mid 80's of a sister who had her husband killed as they came back from the meeting one night in the vestibule of their apartment building in either the Bronx or Brooklyn. Made the news and everything

Supposedly Michael Jackson got his inspiration for doing the moonwalk when going door to door with pioneers when he was still a teenager
Really??, the moonwalk is kind of a fast move, the pioneer walk is a slow, drag your feet so we can count the ten minutes it takes us to walk from one house to another.

Holden that clip of the 1958 Assembly which was held at the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium is the one where my mother got baptized and was in UberDub mode until she died, which of course wasn't in her plans since she thought she would be walking hand in hand into Paradise with my father who died eight years before she did. Well, so much for the happy life in Paradise theory !!

Xmas, love it or leave it??
by DATA-DOG ini have to say that i’m not enjoying the xmas season.
i have no emotional ties and i’m spending money that i have not set aside for xmas during a slow work season for my trade.. i’m not happy about it, because it’s foolish to spend money when you aren’t making any.
then i feel like i’m expected to do all this, and to be happy about spending money and time on persons that i’m not that involved with.

Growing up as a JW, my father was a UBM, so I grew up celebrating the holidays since the wives with UBMs were told to fix the holiday meal for their mate. So we went to friends and relatives for Thanksgiving and Xmas and sometimes we had the meal at our house. That lasted until around the teenage years, when everyone's houses we used to go to, there kids were grown and out the house and they didn't really go all out anymore. So from teen years until I moved out of my parents house Xmas was really no big deal to me.
After I moved out I started celebrating again. I also go into the habit of watching Midnight Mass from St. Patrick's Cathedral on TV here in NYC every year, don't know how that happened, but I do enjoy watching it. This Xmas I'll be preparing a Roast Duck and all the trimmings. I really don't feel like going to anyone's house, although a for a few years I have, but I'd rather just cook the holiday meals and stay home and enjoy.

Yeah, they can cal it persecution, but I think this particular persecution is coming from within, just left a msg on the other post about this. Most folks really don't care about the JWs, so it's someone that's been effected by their lies.

I have the feeling that whoever doing this either a former Dub or someone being shunned by their family or someone who has a relative that was effected by the blood rule, I don't think this person is a complete stranger to da troof. The average person really doesn't care about the Dubs.
