  ...they were adolescents and they were just touched.

  his writing is eerily reminiscent of jw apologists.. .

  I wouldn't judge the man based on this article. I want to see what he ACTUALLY wrote.

  Ask, and you shall receive. The linked article quotes the full text of the ad.

  I'm So Disgusted................

  by Mary in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i'm absolutely disgusted as what the gb members are letting go on inside the organization with regards to pedophiles, but i guess it shouldn't come as any great surprise after all the other crap they've pulled over the years.. one can only assume that their sheer arrogance and/or stupidity in their "we can't do anything without two witnesses" policy, is a sign that they're either possessed or they're all getting collective alzheimers disease.......it's ridiculous to pretend that child abuse doesn't go on in the congregations - it goes on in every single religious organization on earth, simply because you have imperfect people in every single religious organization on earth.. if child molesters within the congregation were pursued with the same gusto and enthusiasm as those that buy lottery tickets or question doctrines, they'd be doing something.

  one can only assume that none of the governing body members have any children (thank god!

  ) or they'd never come up with such a stupid policy.

  SPIRITUALLY WEAK

  One thing that woman was not, was spiritually weak. Speaking up in defense of those who cannot protect themselves, while knowing you will suffer consequences for doing so, is the epitome of spiritual strength!

  by Terra Incognita in

  2. friends

  my sincerest apologies to anyone and everyone on this forum who read my first two threads.. i guess i started posting at a bad time in my life.

  not too thoughtful of me but not insincere.

  i have always been a little lacking in the social graces department partly because of my jw upbringing.

  Hang around, Terra. You've got our attention, and with this post, our respect. Many have never apologized for things they did deliberately, so your doing that for a naive mistake speaks well of you.

  Is this an ethical business practice?

  by sabastious in

  2. friends

  a group of business people put their money together and start a casket design business.

  they come up with a business scheme that they think will yield the greatest revenue.

  they decide to design and manufactor three caskets:.

  It's legal, though less than ethical. I think it's a relative of the old "bait and switch" trick used by car dealers, where the low advertised price that gets you in the door is for the stripped-down model they expect nobody to buy.

  Another example: the triple bacon cheeseburger. With that on the menu, you can chow down on a gut-busting double burger and still feel virtuous, because you didn't buy the "big size".

  I avoid the bacon grease too, but here's how I make a not too unhealthy corn bread:

  1-1/2 cup flour

  3/4 cup corn meal

  1 cup skim or low-fat milk

  1/4 cup canola oil

  1/4 cup honey

  1 large egg

  2 tsp baking powder

  1/4 tsp salt (reduce or omit for low sodium)

  Use an 8" or 9" sqaure pan, or a standards dozen-size muffin tin

  Bake at 400 degrees 20-25 minutes for pan, 15-20 minutes for muffins

  Serve with your favorite chili beans, either con carne or vegetarian...

  I need some scriptual skill Here (what is the good news?)

  by TheLoveDoctor in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  please give me scriptures as to what the 1st century christians were two preach including the body of christian teachings at the time.

  then we can compare that to what gb says the good news is and why one must answer 80 or so questions.

  it will also help me with the ability to prove why i do not wish to be in the door to door work including any scriptual proofs that could be used to show not all should be preaching..

  Matthew 24:31-40

  When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, [32] and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. [33] He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

  [34] Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. [35] For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, [36] naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.'

  [37] Then the righteous will answer him and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? [38] When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? [39] When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?'

  [40] And the king will say to them in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.'
