  Too fat for the kingdom of God !

  former jehovah's witness servant dick borghi along with elders in the lowell, ma.

  congregation were asked by the circuit overseer to vote on whether to disfellowship overweight brothers and sisters.. this was very troubling to dick for two reasons.. 1... brother borghi thought it would be the responsibility of the faithfull and discrete slave to lay out a precise directive on the basis for this unusual request.

  what criteria would have to be met to make such an awkward decision?.

  'Stop Trading Yourself Down' - Brilliant Article That Applies to Life as a JW & the Cult Persona

  by mummatron in

  i'm a regular reader of baggagereclaim.co.uk.

  i find it helps me deal with many of the relationship-based hurts in my past, but this latest blog post, although it's written about romantic relationships, just made me think of my life as a jw and puts a lot of it in perspective!

  so i felt it was worth a share... thought it might help some lurkers, faders & those questionning the cult.. have highlighted the most relevant parts.

  FADERS YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED - BELIEVE IT OR NOT!.

  to onthewayout, 00dad, cedars and other reknowned faders.

  reports have reached patterson that faders are much more dangerous than those disfellowshipped.

  their reasons for fading are no longer new to the gb.

  I know of a situation that was purely obsene. A girl of the age of 13 had sex with an elder in my congregaition. They were both disfellowshipped. The girl was treated as an equal in the incident, when in reality she was atttacked by a pedophile.

  Sick fucks.

  Religious People Live Longer

  2. experiences

  regular involvement in religious activities goes hand in hand with better physical health and a longer life, according to a statistical analysis of 42 independent studies published since 1977 that have addressed this issue, states science news.

  religious involvement, especially the public type, showed a statistically significant relationship to higher survival rates, the scientists say.

  several reasons have been proposed for the findingsthe shunning of risky behaviors, marital stability, less depression associated with matters beyond direct control, greater social contacts, and positive emotions and attitudes.

  It is SO depressing when you just can't get through to someone

  i have been hitting a brick wall trying to pry my boyfriend away from this stuff.

  it just makes me cry that it's so obvious to me how wrong it is, and he's not even batting an eyelash.

  he knows about all of the scandals, all of the false prophecies, the coverup of sexual predators, that elders tell abuse victims to stay with their spouses, that they dishonestly use sources, and he just doesn't care.

  ilc,

  I know that you are sincere in wanting to help him. But until he sees that there is a problem, he will not want help. He is not really living up to the standards he would like to, otherwise he would not be in a relationship with a "worldly" person like you.

  I would say that you should run from this guy, ASAP.

  Good luck,
