I bet everyone on the plane he was on is very worrried. They say it is not spread by air-that is just their best quess thus far.

Watchtower Legal Department targeting Facebook and Youtube users

by Londo111 in

from an email i received of a conversation had with people from patterson:.

it seems that the wts legal dept.

has been working with the fb [facebook] legal dept for about a year and also with youtube whoever they are, to enforce transparency.

Recalling the great apostacy witch hunts of the late 70' and 80-90s , I believe it. We are in for a withhunt again. wow. In the 90's when the net was new, there were "known apostate email names" being passed around by young techy brothers. I know b/c I talked a bro into giving me one and was very happy to see my email address was not on it. The CO's have been passing things by word of mouth only for a long time. They have apostates in their midst and they know it and they are trying to plug the leaks.

The wts is just using to its advantage a FB policy that is already in place.

New Awake! Dealing With Mental Illness

by runForever in

contains a list of 9 practical steps except they forgot one: 10. do not become a jehovah's witness.. .

1. follow the treatment prescribed.

by qualified mental-health.

I really think there was nothing wrong with the suggestions the wt gave , including #9. I might elborate on that one a bit to have it include anything that gets you outside of your own small world . I do think it is important to believe in something bigger than ourselves. There are all kinds of ways to do that.

I guess #1 was broad enough to include therapy but it has always been discourged. Elders told me therapists had sex with patients and hypnotized them. They were just too stupid to be believed.

sorry for spelling erors, no spell check on this board with IE11

This is a business for the guys at the top. This is how these things happened b/c business is cut throat. The men who stay in the business know where the bodies are buried. It is hard to accept we all have been fooled into believing this was a religion that cared about people but they don't. They care about the business, it's name is WTBTS otherwise known as MOTHER.

My jw mum threw us out.

by abbasgreta in

my brother (non-jw but became a christian 6 months ago) and i nursed my aged jw mother back to a semblance of strength over the last three weeks.. the elders were happy to pass the buck on to me, her da'd daughter and my bro.. he has been living with her for 3 months and has transformed her ill-kept home and garden and literally nursed her like a professional alone.

before i stepped in to help him care for her.

he repeatedly told her how much he loved her and was so caring, it brought a lump to my throat.. he has been going to church sunday mornings, telling her he 'was meeting up with friends' so as not to cause friction.but she knew where he had been.. we noticed a shift in her demeanour towards us (she knows i'm a church-goer) over the week-end and she started to.

Does your mother have money that you and your brother might inherit? b/c otherwise I'd file charges against her for beating me with that cane. How old are you and your brother? also keeping the money your brother should have for the attendent fee.

Your mom sounds like she needs to be sectioned( I believe that is what they call it in your part of the world).

I have to wonder why you'd put up with this if money or a place to live were not involved.

warning examples of apostacy, and saying to all witnesses "watch for bad associations in the cong".

talk about paranoia and distrust amongst themselves!.
