  Hideout for predator

  by ab.ortega in

  i read this comment posted on a news site: .

  if the police show up at the kingdom hall looking for a sexual predator, the elders will escort them out an emergency exist and tell them to "hide out until the coast is clear.".

  is this true, is there printed instructions to support it?

  I doubt there are any printed instructions to the elders for a procedure like this, however it wouldn't surprise me if there were some sort of word of mouth "principles" talked about in some congregations.

  i recently came across a female youtuber called "bridget azaz".

  she has made a number of youtubes recording discussions that she has had with a number of jws.

  she does an excellant job and i thought i would make mention of her here.there appears to be another youtube site that either she or someone else has created with a couple of her interviews which have been touched up from the originals on her 'bridget azaz' site.this is one of them and i think you will enjoy it.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkescwpafmu&feature=em-subs_digest.

  "Abolish all doubt, and what's left is not faith, but....

  ... absolute, heartless conviction.

  you're certain that you possess the truth -- inevitably offered with an implied uppercase t -- and this certainty quickly devolves into dogmatism and righteousness, by which i mean a demonstrative, overweening pride in being so very right, in short, the arrogance of fundamentalism.".

  i just thought i'd share this.

  So they made a plea for more money in May by their beloved 5th grade teacher (that's what he reminds me of) and when they don't get an increase from the R&F like they prayed they would, they cut special pioneers. Isn't this the reason their in business, spread the good news. Now they are cutting back on the preaching work. They are a CULT.

  A True short story

  ____a true story___.

  shortly after the incident, i drove back along the pacific coast in a euphoric daze of confusion, tears, and exhilaration; there was no place for it to go inside my head.

  i pulled over on the shoulder of the road and sat in stunned silence.

  Excellent writing Terry. I envisioned the whole scene, smelled the sea, the Orca, and heard the shouts of determination and subsequent joy. I look forward to seeing more SStory's.
