  are you guys aware that your hero, who was not in it for the money but to change policies, settled without changing anything?

  maybe...but I wouldn't be advocating for people who actually hide child abusers and not admit to their mistakes. If they really were god's organization they'd clean that mess up really quick regardless of the consequences. By not doing it, they show they're just another worldly organization / corporation.

  so nitty-gritty, you're a mother in a congregation with (maybe) a pedophile and they're putting your children at risk by not telling you...and you're ok with that?

  my wife has recently become very curious about my activity on my ipad.

  i delete my browsing history but if she should discover this site and my identity here, she will gladly hand me over to the hangman, something i have managed to avoid for quite some time now,.

  i hit the "sign out" button, but i find that i'm still logged in!

  can't you just create different users on your machine, protect yours with a password and always log out. Let her have her own user account.

  virtual machine (VM) is an emulation of a particular computer system. When you run a VM, it creates a virtual computer inside your computer that is separate from the computer itself. If the VM gets infected the main operating system does not.

  So I overheard a discussion that my son and wife were having about creation yesterday

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i am getting ready for bed yesterday night and i overhear my teenage son and wife talking about how the evidence of creation far outweighs the evidence of evolution.

  i heard my son say that evolution has so many holes and how could something happen from nothing.

  i wanted to open the door and ask them both how the creator happened from nothing just to see what they would say..

  he is my stepson and my wife has legal authority in virtually all of the decisions that involve him

  And that's why you should stay out of it unless you discuss it with her first. If someone tried that behind my back backstabbing bullshit that you're talking about with one of my child, I'd kick your ass to the curb. You'd be out of my life that's a fact.
  

  I'm an atheist and believe we are constantly evolving, so that's not the point.

  It's not about the subject matter, it's about crossing boundaries. It's none of your business unless the mother says so.

  I apologize if this sounds harsh.

  i received an email from one of the elder in the local congregation.

  i am not dfed so there is not a problem there, i am just an aggressive fader.. one of the last things i said to this elder before i stopped all activities was that i do not agree with the borg taking all the assets from the congregations.. here is what the elder said in the email:.

  "i recently saw something while looking through the jw broadcasting for the month of may and i though about you.

  If this elder thinks that the May video is an adequate answer to your concerns over financial matters, then you are jeopardizing your fade if you pursue this any further. The video is proof that their intentions are to fleece the flock and this man obviously doesn't see this and is a company man. So like someone said earlier, you better stfu.

  Spiritual AMNESTY -- Return to Jehovah

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  basically, from what i can tell from the new return to jehovah brochure, is that the governing body is now offering amnesty to anyone who has been gone from the congregation but now wants to return.. it claims it doesn't matter what sins you've done, or what caused you to leave, if you repent to jehovah and ask the elders to help you, and return to the meetings, you'll be warmly welcomed with no disciplinary action or judgment against you..

  me: WOW..I heard you guys were offering amnesty now?

  elder: We sure are, it's new light, aren't the brothers in New York a loving group?

  me: I guess so...
  

  me: You mean I can talk to family and friends now?

  elder: Absolutely, after you've been to the meetings for at least six months, then we lovingly file the paperwork. It's that easy.
