  Fools Rush in Where Angel's Fear to Tread...

  i made my first response to fred hall in quite a while today, and attempted to make some humor out of what he wrote.

  that does not take much effort, by the way.. : did anyone saw the montel williams show two days ago?.

  now, anyone who finished fourth grade can see the simple grammatical error that little freddie boy made here, so i made some light of it:.

  i have had my jw cousin and his wife and three children staying at my house since sunday.

  i thought i'd just share a few experiences with you all.. my husband and i are marveling at the numerous compromises they have made since coming here to washington state from wisconsin.

  they are here to visit his disfellowshipped mother who has cancer.

  Since when has legal come into it ¡V WTS is a law to them selves. (In true cult style)! Would it surprise you if they started to pressure JW¡¦s who were employed by telephone companies to put Kingdom Interests first when it comes to Judicial matters. It¡¦s been done before

  *** w87 9/1 12-15 "A Time to Speak"-When? ***

  One day Mary faced a dilemma. In processing medical records, she came upon information indicating that a patient, a fellow Christian, had submitted to an abortion. Did she have a Scriptural responsibility to expose this information to elders in the congregation, even though it might lead to her losing her job, to her being sued, or to her employer¡¦s having legal problems? Or would Proverbs 11:13 justify keeping the matter concealed? This reads: ¡§The one walking about as a slanderer is uncovering confidential talk, but the one faithful in spirit is covering over a matter.¡¨¡XCompare Proverbs 25:9, 10.
  Situations like this are faced by Jehovah¡¦s Witnesses from time to time. Like Mary, they become acutely aware of what King Solomon observed: ¡§For everything there is an appointed time, even a time for every affair under the heavens: . . . a time to keep quiet and a time to speak.¡¨ (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7) Was this the time for Mary to keep quiet, or was it the time to speak about what she had learned?

  Watching the “Stand Firm” Video you would think that JW’s were the only ones persecuted and they won the war single handedly. It would be interesting if they Gay community came out (no pun intended) and made similar claims as the WTS. Perhaps a video called “Pink Triangles”.

  My parents still tell me that the majority of DF end up 'coming back'.

  A reliable source tells me its more like 25% actually go back after being DF. It used to be that 50% of new ones eventually dropped out. It would appear by the figures that it is now closer to 70%.

  USA

  Year 1999 Peak 980,650 + year 2000 Bptzd 30,290 So we should get 1,010,940 for the year 2000

  Year 2000 Peak 988,469 = 22,471 missing Presumed left

  As the number left is more than has stayed I think the WTS should think about this.

  *** Rbi8 Matthew 23:15 ***
  15 “Woe to YOU, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because YOU traverse sea and dry land to make one proselyte, and when he becomes one YOU make him a subject for Ge·hen'na twice as much so as yourselves.
