I know when i first informed on my father that someone always used to follow him to the loo and stuff but i bet they don't anymore. policing yourself? that's like sticking a bottle of vino in front of an alco and trusting them not to drink! (thought i'd come up with another metaphor hehe)

Pedophilia and self-policing

even when they are known to be a past molester they the boe leave it up to them to self police themselves.
now isn't that kiknd of like puttihng the fox in the hen house and telling him not to associate or eat any hens?

Our Watchtower Study On obedience & submission
by dark angle inyesterday we have a study of the watchtower about obedience and submission.
this study arose a lot of questions and heightened emotions in me and the interested retired judge sitting besides me.
we came accross the 9th pharagraph, page 28 of the april 1, 2007, where it says that: "it is easy to obey when everything is clear and we agree, but we will show that we are trully submissive if we yeild even when we do not personally understand the direction provided.

I just looked that scripture luke 5:4,5 up and its when simon/peter had been fishing all night and jesus said lower your nets on the otherside.
surely the big difference is that only some money and maybe an empty belly until the next catch was at stake, not his entire livelihood and LIFE!!!

How did you spend Sunday?
by Crumpet ini spent mine enjoying a traditional sunday romp in the rural idyll that is england, communing with nature.. this, for those who dont know, translates as getting lots of manure on my shoes, nodding politely at passing ramblers, edging away from the well endowed bull, walking for a couple of miles, limbo-dancing under electric fences, and then fighting for a table along with the countryside's finest and their dogs, tucking into a traditional sunday lunch and a pint, then walking it back off - wondering if i a) i just ate one of the bull's babies and b) if i did, can he smell it?!.

Well to be quite honest I was kinda hoping for sex but didn't get any. He has a bad back. And I just burnt it by putting on too much deep heat spray so he is in even more agony, with a wet towel on his back trying to cool it down.

I've been asked to give a public talk (should I)
by darth frosty ina friend of mine who is planing his fade, has just been made talk coordinator.
so he calls me and ask 'do i want to give a talk at his hall?
' he knows my situation and lurks on this board himself.

I'd be careful. If you haven't been in a hall for 4 years how on earth are you going to feel comfortable going in one?
Also beware that you do not show up too much of the jw hypocrisy. If you are labelled an apostate you will just close peoples minds and hearts even more, you could do more damage than harm.

Why alaways the 2nd or "Greater" fulfillment of prophecy?
by zack inone of the things (among many) that always bugged me about the wts, was their insistence on biblical prophecies always having a .
2nd or greater fulfillment.
always, like everything else about the wts, it was based on conjencture.
