  "in fact,......(quoting matt 25:34-40).

  are we to believe that those in the org, are like the nethinim that came out of babylon, we are "slaves" - wt 4/15 1992 page 13 par 14-23. i am interested as an elder has made this an example of equality to view jw's stance today.. i am also sending out a 2nd question for response with regrads to judas.. thanks.

  I would discreetly ask him what he wants...is "reaching out" what he has as a goal? It is always difficult to get too involved in a minor's life, but it certainly can't hurt to ask him what he wants. Subtle planting of seeds can be very effective.

  I'm with you on the child labor law violation...I don't think that type of work is typically legal for a 15 y/o...I guess the real question would be, is he getting paid for employment or is he "helping" his dad?

  at a court hearing recently my estranged wife, who left me (i'm not jw) asked me if i would be prepared to lie to her elders and state that i had committed adultery (i didn't) so that she would be allowed to "get on in her faith".

  this from a woman who before she left got intimate (emotionally, i'm not sure about physically) with two "sisters", one of whom took to buying her large bunches of red roses and basicaly furnished her new house for her.. now my view is that she has clearly stated and put in writing that the marriage ended because of my unreasonable behaviour (i.e.

  Tell her you won't lie on this matter because you are concerned about her survival at Armageddon...and if she got re-married based on your lie for her, she would be accountable to God for her adultery and ultimately lose her chance for everlasting life!

  Why is it that Atheists are as vocal and condemnatory of religion and belief in God as JW's are of Atheists and "Babylon the Great"?

  You can remove your listing by searching for yourself on spokeo.com and then copy the URL if you are listed. Then go to the bottom of the page and hit the privacy link...when that page comes up, paste in your URL and it will remove it from the search database. It won't remove the info about you that is out there on third party databases, but you won't register on a search on spokeo.com.

  Interesting...her bio says she spends her free time working on charities such as Children's AID Society and Irish dancing...not very compatible with Theocratic pursuits.
