  yes friends.....this is the comment said to me by an elder!.

  "your bad attitude is evident because you don't bring your meeting bag anymore!".

  i calmly replied: "but everything i need is on the tablet now......".

  In ancient times, the Pharisees drew attention to themselves by wearing large Scripture cases on their foreheads. It's all about image.

  These days, the expectation is to lug a huge briefcase to the Hall, so that you "look spiritual."

  "hey brother wasa, come on back to the meetings.

  " (after 10 years) so i respond that the situation with pedophiles is out of hand.

  they tell me "we" elders have received tons of training on the subject, its not like it was 10 years ago.

  I use the skills that I learned from the Theocratic Ministry School and Service Meeting - how to evade answering a householder's questions. Now I use those same skills to evade answering questions from elders.

  15 Years of Jehovahs-Witness.com

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  yes, today is the forum's 15th birthday!.

  i never thought for one moment that it would survive this long or have so many people post so many great subjects over the years.. it is still humbling when i get pm's or emails from people expressing how the site has helped them and of course thanks goes to all the posters who have shared their experiences and make helpful and supportive comments to others who are in the sometimes difficult process of learning the real truth about 'the truth'.. the site has gone through several different incarnations over the last 15 years running on different platforms, different databases and different hosts but we've been able to keep all the old topics.

  the current site is still being developed and i'm hoping to push another major upgrade soon.. i also may have some other news to share soon about the future of the site so stay posted.. until then, here's the the next 15 years!

  15 years is quite an achievement. I have been reading for 5 years. Thank you for the time and effort spent on maintaining the site.

  The talk and the response of the audience are in contrast to the "public relations" line that the Watchtower spokesman parrots off to the media - "Jehovah's Witnesses abhor child abuse."

  One standard at the Kingdom Hall. One standard for the public eye.

  That's been said to me a few times.

  I don't go into the "back room" for conversations either. If they can't say it to me out in public, they needn't bother saying it at all.

  I went to this today. I ended up getting bored so I did crosswords instead.

  (I keep a pocket-size book of crosswords inside my meeting notebook)
