Mentally challenged man traps JW in house

i've heard this story twice lately- first it was told to my wife by her non-jw boss and then i heard it from my own non-jw coworkers.

i have no idea if it is really true but it's a great story.. apparently a high-functioning but mentally challenged man had his own house close to his parents' house.

his mom dropped by to visit him and she wondered where all his furniture was.

JWs having Facebook Sex - Strongly warned to get off FB at CA yesterday
by shopaholic in

2. friends
so it appears that jws are letting their freaky side come out on fb for everyone to see.. there was talk on the ca yesterday strongly warning all true lovers of jehovah to delete their fb accounts.

the talk was solely about fb.

the speaker mentioned that jws are associating with people that would not associate with in real life, often using the excuse that the person is a relative.

JW facebook page growing fast, and already outing troublemakers......
by oompa in
1. jw
2. friends
interesting place to lurk and in just a few days there are 180 members....i quickly noticed there are very many posts raising questions elders hate to be asked...like why is there a no face hair rule except for mustache?.....and many others...like wedding rings are pagan...but due to nobody feeling that way now...why is that rule not applied to everything else like it...and on and on from many who have posted...... and they ususally want to know if there are biblical reasons for the rule or teaching!!!

!......this thing will not last long........oompa.

oh and if you join...the guys running it send pms to you listing the "trouble makers" found on the site....not sure if they can be kicked out without violating the rules like cussing and porn posting.......i just wonder how many tough questions they will let be discussed..... .

just thought i'd update those of you who have been following our court case in western oklahoma.

my lawyers called today and they had received a fax from the judge stating that my dad will immediately be removed as trustee of our family trusts.

the jw's around here will have to find some other rich old soul to sponge off of as of today.
