  Mind Control Jewels from N.Y. Special Assembly Day - PMed to me by Newbie

  by flipper in

  i was pmed this excerpt from the final talk by r. clark at the new york special assembly day by a newbie whom i will keep anonymous for confidentiality purposes.

  it is full of spin control, and damage control which shows how nervous the watchtower society is getting about " negative talk ", " independent thinking", and " internet use " by the rank and file jehovah's witness members.

  title of the talk : .

  JW's unwritten dress code and personal appearance standards-FROM WHERE?

  by Thechickennest in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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!

  Mr. Flipper Talks with Bethel Legal Service Desk Rep About JW Child Abuse

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  well - i had been wanting to do this for a long time , to question a legal department representative at bethel about the child abuse settlements and jw child abuse, since last year when the news came out about it.

  especially since my dad , an elder for years was never aware of it and has on his own taken steps to see that families with children are informed if a former pedophile is in their congregation.

  i was curious as to what the current views and policies in place are .

  Gilead

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i will use my other thread today to talk about gilead.. one must apply for several years to show they are serious, unless you know a gb member or another heavy in the service dept.

  a couple first gets a long app in the mail usually after several years of applying at the dc.

  it is over 115 questions.
