being reasanable to assume that,they are promoting fear within the congregations,keeping others from asking awkward questions,it seems that no one is interested in the reasons why that other person was named and shamed,what a way to control people , one minute they are your best friends the next minute you bump into them say in the high street and you dont seem to exist within there boundarys or vision ,.
my remedy .if you are in this position is to greet them very loudly laughingly saying hallo there ,big wave big smile,be carfull of those paedophiles your mixing with.
( nice & loud ) next time they see you they will run to the otherside of the road,instead of trying to intimidate you.
What a horrible scenario! I never under stood what was meant by "holding your family hostage." Now I do. Deceit and blackmail and lies. They seem to thrive on it.

That story about the Hitler youth and the Puppies really freaked me out.
Congratulations on the new Baby!! Greyhounds are so classy looking, sweet natured and deserving of good homes(not that ALL dogs aren't.) Best of luck with her.
the reason that i am a little afraid is that four out of my five grown children are still jws and if they knew that i was on here.....well nothing would change, would it, they don't speak to me now.
i was hoping to enjoy the championship game between the eagles and the bucs.. but no more than 5 or 10 minutes into the game, a budweiser ad comes on that uses a very obvious double entendre (a conversation between a man and woman that revolves around the very large sweatshirt she is wearing.
she makes comments like, "small ones are ok, but big ones just feel better.
" the commercial closes with her remarking about his "small hands".).
I'm never sure if people here are just pulling our chains, or what, but if you really feel that way, good for you. I agree that alot of comercials have gone too far. I guess I've just numbed myself to them.
But anyway, you made a courageous statement for a football watchin' kind of guy.
One Elder called 2 weeks ago asking to set up a meeting, I agreed, then changed my mind and cancelled. Mailed a letter a few days ago (I consider this particular elder somewhat of a friend, as much as this is possible) apologizing for having cancelled at the last minute, and explaining that we have simply left. I pointed out that this was NOT a DA letter. The next move is up to them.
