  Chaperones...

  how would you feel..when you are alone with someone, that they are your friend, nothing more than just a friend, opposite sex.

  just doing nothing but watching "that 70's show", laughing your butts off.

  and then the next day, you have a meeting, and the elders come at your neck about being alone with the opposite sex, who happens to be your friend since second grade!

  Many elders and parents i have known do not concider a person a proper chaperone unless they are married very old or sometimes both.

  i've created a map in google maps for people to mark their location, you don't have to put your real identity if you don't want to.. you need to sign in with a google account, click the 'edit' button and then drop a marker on your location.

  add a photo if you like!.

  Sorry, there is no "prize".

  Should my son consider it a "prize" if I were to not beat him with a fist but a belt because he spills milk or talks back?

  Why then should I consider it a "prize" to not be put to death because I failed to measure up to an unrealistic expectation.

  We are all acting just as we are "made". You are describing a game not designed to to be won.

  Really Smart or Idiots?

  well, i was looking thru the study (i.e.

  'kool-aid') watchtower for today and in the middle of the magazine i found an article about how you should go to your local bethel/branch office and be really impressed ( enough to join this sad, sick cult).. i initially thought, "wow, what idiots!

  they encourage everyone to go to their local bethel at a time when they are closing branch offices all over the globe!

  If you have ever visited bethel, especially while they are printing a new release, you will know just how secret they are.

  ks10-e (official release), Letter from Bro. who scanned it! Newer version with BOE LTRs

  by yknot in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while an earlier version was made available privately the time has come to 'progress'.. conscious class and ex both strongly adhere to not keeping things 'hidden' in regards to wts publications, talks and documents which are circulated in order to maintain it's position.. another wonderful poster (who has yet to give me permission to name) has 'reduced' and 'bookmarked' the first full copy link i was given by our 'winner'.. in this newest and final 'clean' copy link you find two other additions besides the reduction/bookmarking..... the brother who uploaded the entire book wishes all to have a copy that includes both boe ltrs (pre-ks ltr and spiral binding ltr).

  also another development has occurred.... the brother responsible for this book being brought into light and put forth for public consumption and discussion has requested i post this letter explaining to 'us' (jwn posters/global audience) and 'them' (wts of penn & ny).. i ask you give attention to his words/ experiences as he is representative of a newly emerging demographic within the conscious class.

  so without further ado i give you his link and the 'stage' if you will to 'brother johnson'....... [link removed - contact ynot for further info - lady lee].

  DMCA Complaint from The WatchTower for links to KS-10 'Shepherding' book

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  yes, that's right, they really do not like people being able to read that book so they wanted links to it removed (it appears they have also been going after the hosts of the content itself as well).. unfortunately, i had to removed the links (which were dead anyway when i checked) and i'd ask that people don't re-post them (sorry).

  i'm sure there are lots of alternative ways for those with the information to get it to those who need it.. here are the discussions on the book:.

  lady Lee CORRECTLY pointed out that the WTBTS has the copyright on the book.

  Correct

  It is ILLEGAL to distribute the book in its entirity without their permission.

  Correct

  Why dont posters show the same disregard for copyright by distributing CDs, and novels here for free??

  Becuse music doesn't affect my life and hasn't controlled my entire existence for 36 years.

  With appropriate legal action they could shut down this very valuable forum for doing such a thing.

  And I will respect Simon's wishes to stop.

  If you must break the law on this, use Wikileaks. One of the Rules of posting here is that you do not do illegal stuff. Yet the posters of the new book are doing just that.

  Good point I agree.

  This talk of "war" by some posters has no more impact on the WT than dancing around in front of NY Bet hell in your underwear "giving them the finger" through the window.

  Not the same, the org controlling this book, is the same that is controlling the bible by claiming absolute authority in interpertation.

  Why not discuss relevant sections using necessary quotes that follow the law on "fair use"?

  Because if I can't show the scanned copy to my family they won't belive the WTS could ever publish such garbage.

  FHN, I also thought that was intersting, it clearly says abbhorent pornographgy.

  so non- sadistic torture, non-bondage,
  non-gang rape, non- brutalizing should be fine!
