it was in response to some things i and others posted about holidays, etc.
i don't know where he's an elder, but times have sure changed.
mimric i have never posted on this site but i have followed for 5yrs and i think its time because of this last post.
The JW's there are so self-rightious and are always talking about how there are no rules concerning homosexuality and it's ok if Prince wears eyeliner because he's in show business.
Why on earth would JWs on a Prince-worship website be worried about JW rules on homosexuality and eyeliner?
Is it possible they know something?
i've been in pain too long.
i have this whole entry i want to post but i don't know if it is too long to read.
i'll post it in parts.
Maybe you should ask your JW friend (the one with the baby) to join this website too - ?
i had started studying with jw because i was curious about the religion because my bf then(now husband) was a witness.
i am a very open minded person and really had i known what i know now i prob would not have been baptized.
i always had my doubts but i really enjoyed the positive aspects that i was learning at the meetings...i studied with my mom in law.i prob shouldn't have done that because she has taken it very personal that we have stopped and even had the nerve to say i started studying to get in good with the fam!!
Welcome - I agree that you were so lucky to be getting out along with your husband.
So many have to do it all by themselves.
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/aleqm5jvfmefxqjo3kj0srix3w_8n5jtkwd9geetog3associated pressconcord, n.h. a new hampshire sex offender is asking the state's highest court to allow him to go to church with a chaperone.the case of 35-year-old jonathan perfetto of manchester marks the first time the new hampshire supreme court is being asked to rule on whether a probation condition that effectively bars church attendance violates a person's constitutional rights to religious freedom.. perfetto was convicted in 2002 of possessing child pornography.
a condition of his probation is that he have no contact with children.
a lower court denied perfetto's request to attend jehovah's witnesses services with a church elder acting as a chaperone.. the new hampshire civil liberties union and perfetto maintain the chaperone would eliminate any risk to children.
Probably the most ridiculous idea of all this is that some JW elder would be an adequate chaperone to keep this guy from offending again...

Must have been quite an insecure person.

Well, the news clip says that she was 28 years old and still living with her parents...
i'm trying to download the fred franz's 1975 gilead talk from free minds, but it does not download properly (it's supposed to be a file called franz-govbody1975.mp3, with a files size of 27.44mb, but i only get a 184kb 30 second file when i download it).
is anyone able to download this succesfully from this page?.

Rather ironic that Freddy was more worried about the idea of a "Governing Body" in 1975 than he was over his own failed prophecy, eh?
Just saying -

She also had to bring religion into it -
"I'm here today because of Jesus Christ," she said at the time, adding that the strength of her faith would allow her to move forward.
it's right in front of you----literally.. it has always been with you.. it's hu.
hu-man.. no matter how much dna we have in common with animals, it is the divine breath that raises our conscience to be distinct from the animal.. .
hu is not only the most sacred of all sounds but is also the beginning and end of all sounds, be they from man, bird, beast or thing.
fascinating
march 1, 1983 wt page 25 - consider some of the other twisted things used to mislead gods people today.
on occasion opposers will question the various teachings that jehovahs people hold in common.
often this becomes a debate about words, just as it was in the first century.
Its a recursion loop: The WT already has so much mind control that it feels free to lecture the rank & file to pay ever more attention to their mind control.
And the R & F (mostly) DOES.
Thus increasing the MIND CONTROL.
this is just too uncanny.
will all religions band together now to "get the atheists"??.
pope arrives in britain warning of 'atheist extremism'.
Can someone post info on the upcoming WT mag that depicts bogus artwork/photo of the "atheist extremists" holding signs and picketing the people going into church?
Didn't the witnesses do this themselves with the sound cars back in the 1920s and 1930s?
