  In the UK under 16 is illegal. And sometimes if there is a duty of care such as Teacher/Pupil etc then under 18 can have serious consequences.

  How the Bethel family responded to the bethel layoffs (profanity warning ***)

  i think we can say many of those laid off no longer trust the governing body because of being lied to repeatedly over so many things.

  things are getting very explosive at the governing body's home location kind of ties right in with being moved to a seriously pcp contamined chemical dump site, in fact bad karma has come to rest where ever these stupid lying clowns go.

  these gbs are a bunch of real ass holes and they treat the faithful shit and expect them to just take it like a bunch of dummy drones.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8kuldpksze.

  Sadly I think most reassignees will just suck it up and become regular faithful types. I mean they have wasted many years if not decades and are probably too old to have kids so they will hate to admit they have been fooled.

  About half a dozen London ex-bethelites (aged late 30's through early fifties) landed in our circuit in the spring and the men are continuing as elders. I don't think there are any pioneering yet but they are probably scrabbling around getting work and accommodation sorted first.

  No sign of rebellion at all. But there was a definite feel of comparative bewilderment and shock and dare I say apathy among those I have heard reports about. They haven't come out beating the zealousness drum for sure!

  I guess the ringleaders and higher ranking officers will be shot. Possibly the Privates and Corporals will be spared on the basis that they were - literally - obeying orders.

  my son sent me a wonderful song a month ago on this thread.

  it's amazing how a bad experience can trigger action.

  Don't have sexual fantasies! Today's watchtower...

  by purrpurr in

  the watchtower today says not to think of sex, or to have sexual fantasies.

  i'm just wondering... how many people in the hall hearing this watchtower today would be having sexual fantasies?

  sitting there thinking about sister hottie or brother hunky ?.

  Gotta love Satan's old system and it's "few good men (and women; thanks Barbara)" who put the Governing Body to shame.

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

  by flipper in

  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 .

  Midweek meeting

  by loneranger in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  almost two months into the change in format of the mid week meeting from the school and service meeting format to the christian life and ministry (clam) format.

  in my congregation, seems attendance is down 10-15% over the normally low attendance for the mid week meeting before the change.

  some indicate that the meeting under the clam format is very "intense"...you really need to study and research to be able to participate or get anything out of the meetings.

  Not only is it mind numbing but the 30 minute "bible" (ha!) study is at the end. It's like torture.
