  hey folks,.

  a possible sequel for tough questions for jehovah's witnesses... well sort of.

  i sporadically get messages from people in other religions asking me to do a series about their religion or former religion.

  3 JC Elders in a car crash.

  suppose they get involved in a car accident shortly after handing down a df judgement in a jc.

  they don't die, but surprisingly they all loose their memory.

  all jc records that they had on them are destroyed during the accident.. what happens to the poor fellow who is supposed to be announced "no longer one of jehovah's witnesses"?.

  "

  On January 27, 2005, DEP's Exemption Manager endorsed his agency's 2002 decision to return the Church's exemption application. He summarized what had happened in 1991,

  and pointed out that a recent inspection had revealed guest rooms on the building's fourth floor, or balcony level, which were not disclosed in the Church's 2002 application. The Exemption Manager then concluded that"

  France taxing The Watchtower, what became of that?

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  years ago it was announced that france was going to tax the watchtower.. i believe the watchtower took out a full page newspaper ad in the new york times (?

  ) protesting this action on the part of france.. the watchtower in france appealed this decision to the courts.. so, after all these years, what happened?.

  did the watchtower (france division) have to pay taxes or not?.

  its not quite fair - all so called religions should be taxed.

  they are all cults.

  hear me and my gf having sex

  listen

  bring it up later (at the judicial commitee)

  This happened a long time ago hehe, i had already admitted i had done it, after an elder's wife (pioneer) decided to look through my emails whilst the elder and i were talking in another room. they had already known the truth, so it was hard for me to lie to them... but that gave 2 nice little witnesses to my admission... how convenient.

  does this happen often?

  Honors classes "puff you up with pride"

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in us public schools, they used to have special classes for gifted students.

  all students would be tested for academic achievement and iq, then placed in "gifted classes" with parental permission.. in my kingkongregation, parents would not give permission because it would make the children arrogant and later leave the trooftm.

  it would also mean more time studying worldlytm subjects than necessary.. and if the student is female, oh hell no, she wasn't getting into the gifted courses, no way, no how!

  my experiences totally go against that. ive met a LOT of smart people in the org, even being out of it, i look back at them and realize YES they were pretty damned smart, even though i hated some, ok many things they did to me and others....

  being involved in the witnesses does not imply lack of intelligence... i mean i guess if it makes you feel better, you can believe that....

  i feel that this old information on dr. brenda upton deserves a thread of its own as its earlier post on another thread elicited no comment.

  needless to say, it was still seen and reviewed by not a few readers.. isn't this situation a reflection of what is happening now in spain?.

  church may be forced to pay millions .
