i listened in to the conf call tonight.

one thing that i got from it was that apparently (and the wording might be a little wrong) is that elders or ms will be removed if they are going to college or university.

a person encouraging another to go to college will be removed as well.

one thing that always use to puzzle me was the personal appearance standards, espessially for meetings and service.

the men always were expected to where a tie, suit, jacket, etc.

no beards were allowed-mustaches were ok!

Suggestions for JW Girlfriend?

so i've been seeing this jw girl for a couple weeks now... she kind of contacted me out of the blue (i've known her since i was 4, shes two years older than i) and wanted to hook up for coffee or something.

i avoided it for about half a month.

not really avoided it, but was going to have fun with it when it came, because i thought she was just going to try to encourage me to go to meetings and whatnot.. so, first time she calls me up at like 9:30pm on a weeknight to come over to her house... so i ride my bicycle over and go inside and she and her cousin were getting drunk on alcohol and they started getting me to drink.

you are a born-in, baptized jehovah's witness female, early 20s.

you are employed as a full-time nanny for a married couple of business executives who have a preschool-age child.

1) is your first responsibility to jehovah god and his earthly organization, or to your "worldly" employers?

Were you or someone you know sexually molested by a Jehovah's Witness ?

2. child-abuse
due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?

remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.

what about the thousands that don't get caught?

Inappropriate "shepherding" calls.
by avishai in
1. jw
2. friends
how many have recieved calls by the elders that were under the guise of "shepherding", but somehow inappropriate, i.e, you were a woman alone with only one elder showing up, or you felt physically intimidated by both.

or say they show up at like, 10:30 at night for a shepherding call.

and you say "hey, i appreciate the visit but please call first!
