What Do Mormons Really Believe? RE: The Nov. 8, 1995 Awake Magazine
by D_Rolling_Kearney ini am a member of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints, and i have written a heavily-documented response to the official magazine of the jehovah's witnesses, awake!, that claims to teach what we believe.
i saw an article from last year's watchtower about a guy who had barely been mormon for very long, and obviously did not know what we believe, who was given this magazine by jw's to show him "the truth.
" he claims to have proven to himself that it was true from information on the lds church's website.

Donald Brown, ANOTHER Jehovah's Witness molestation case in the news???
by Balaamsass inend #alert_bark_clipper end #alert_bark_wrapper man jailed in st. lucie county after being accused of repeatedly molesting two sisters for yearsby elliott jonestcpalmposted december 21, 2012 at 11:27 p.m.discussprintaaa place this tag where you want the +1 button to render end #article_header end #section_header end #section_title_wrapper end .inline_bucket end .inline_wrapper fort pierce a 69-year-old man who is accused of repeatedly sexually molesting two sisters during their preteen years said it started because he was lonely.. years later, in september, he called their mother in fort pierce, asking her forgiveness after the oldest girl, now 23, told him she would call police because he was trying to approach her again, according to an arrest affidavit.. the mother confronted the daughter who, according to the affidavit, said donald brown, now of auburndale, fla., had molested the sisters starting when the oldest was 6 years old in a dwelling in georgia.
that was as her sister, then 2, was asleep in the same room, the report states.. the mother turned to the police and the sisters recently told investigators he molested both of them more than 300 times until the oldest girl was about age 11.. as the investigation concluded this fall, the mother called brown while police listened in.
investigators quoted him as saying he knew he was wrong.

Anyone in Miami?
by sseveninches inwhere you're an ex-jw or still a jw, if you live in miami, florida (broward/palm beach county is cool too), i want to hear your story.
i've already given mine, but i'll tell it again just for the purpose of this thread.. i was researching masturbation because of the fact that the wt makes it out to be such a bad thing despite admitting that it isn't even mentioned in the bible.
along with that, i was researching "porneia" in general, and then i discovered this site.

Is the Governing Body overdue to make new appointments?
by cedars ini'm doing some research for a new blog article on the governing body.
it's in a question-and-answer or "faq" format, and attempts to give simple but well-founded answers to most questions that people could conceivably ask about the governing body.. one thing i noticed when looking at the history of the governing body is that we seem to be in the middle of a lengthy "dry spell" when it comes to making new appointments.. gerrit losch is currently the longest-serving member having been appointed in 1994. however, his appointment came at the end of a 17 year period in which no appointments were made.
this contrasts notably with the remarkable six-year period between 1971 and 1977 when 15 members were added.. since losch's appointment, 4 members were added in 1999 (herd, lett, pierce and splane) and 2 more recently in 2005 (morris and jackson).. the seven year spell since the last appointments were made has seen the deaths of barber, barr, jaracz, shroeder and sydlik - cutting the number of governing body members almost in half.

Hardest most awkward parts of being mentally out but physically in
by BU2B ini am still physically in but am completely out mentally.. i was curious for those who spent some time in the borg while being mentally out or are still in that position, what is the worst, hardest or most awkward parts... for me i intensly dislike attending the meetings however its bearable as i can just let my mind wander, but field service is awful.
i cannot try to bring someone in to a group that i am trying to plot a way out of.
so now i try my best to either spend the day driving around to others fruitless rv's (we have somewhat rural territory) or eating out at an extended breakfast or if door to door cannot be avoided, i try to work alone and not ring bells.
