he had rat bites on his head and hands.

i thought he died in bed but he was found on a flight of stairs.

1tim 2:14-15 adam was not deceived, but the woman was thoroughly deceived and came to be in transgression.

15however, she will be kept safe through childbearing, provided they continue in faith and love and sanctification along with soundness of mind.. so how do yall interpretate this scripture?.

is it saying that it was eve's fault, that adam was not deceived.

All Ex-Elders, Mr.Flipper going to Final MeetingW/Elders! I'll be careful!

hello ex-elders, onthe wayout, snakes, and wilyloman, just to refresh about a month ago i told you all that the appeal committee had overturned the disfellowshipping decision by the original jc as the appeal committee got a hold of me by phone and told me the society gave them direction in this.

i have since explained the situation to my witness mom and dad, 80 &82, they are good with it.

i am taking copies of the counsel you ex elders gave to me to be careful about what i say at this "alleged encouragement" meeting and promise you this, i'll watch my words carefully when they ask me questions.

Were you or someone you know sexually molested by a Jehovah's Witness ?

due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?

remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.

what about the thousands that don't get caught?

"Disfellowshipping" - a word being phased out? (Anybody got a WBTS CD?)
by sass_my_frass in
1. jw
2. friends
you know how jws don't 'shun', or at least pretend they don't, because they don't use the word 'shun'?

do you think that soon they won't 'disfellowship', just because the announcement is no longer "sass has been disfellowshipped", it's now "sass is no longer a jw".

technically, if i wasn't disfellowshipped, i can't say that i was disfellowshipped and that my family shun me.... i'm just no longer a jw, as if it was a choice i made.

How could have Rutherford been a 'drunk'?
by wholewheat in
1. jw
2. friends
i feel that the apostate's claims that rutherford was a drunk to be far fetched.

on the one hand, they claim that he was so drunk that the brothers at bethel shipped him to san diego to beth sarim, where he stayed drunk out of his mind, then on the other hand, they claimed that he ruled the society with an iron fist, that he was a dictator.

no drunk could have ruled the society like a dictator.
