I've only been out a year....so where did this rule/principle come from?

WARNING! The Elders are coming.....!
by Sparks inhi gang.
if you live in england, be exspecting a call this month from the elders of your local kingdom hall if you have been dissfellowshiped,dissociated yourself or had any contact with the congregation in the past.....no it`s not coz they want their mouldy old books back; it`s some special effot ordered from bethel to get you back.....( obviously because their numbers have crashed since that panarama program last year,`suffer little chidren).
i was out shopping, when an elder from my local kingdom hall rugby tackled me.the sod had me cornered in a shop doorway for ten minutes...he told me that this special effort is for febuary only, and because he said it`s come down from bethel, i assume it`s only england.

How Can You Easily Show That JW's Are Wrong?
by minimus init seems that it's very difficult to convince the average witness that their beliefs are incorrect.nearly all will not admit or simply cannot see the error of their ways.how would you help a jehovah's witness see the light?

Have You Been Divorced?
by Outaservice indivorce is much more common in the jehovah's witness community than they would like to admit.
probably more so than the population in general.. if you have been divorced do you think that the watchtower society contributed to the divorce, or caused it, or is it just possible you married some jerk or abuser and divorce would have occured no matter what religion you were, or even if you had no religion?.
possibly you got married way too young as the end was coming and there is no marriage in the resurrection if you died.

I was married for 26 yrs, 22 of those years as JW's. I ws 17 and he waws 18 when we were married and it was becuase of being JW's that we stayed married so long. He had a lengthy affair and when I found out, divorced him and he da'd himself but has been reinstated for about the past 6-7 yrs.
I don't think divorces in JW's are nearly as prominent as in the general public...I thin the %age is 52 or 54 now. It is far less than that in JW's altho I am sure it happens much more than the WT would like people to think. However, that doesn't mean MORE JW's are happily married than others, just that they more often stay married and live miserable lives.

More Fuhrman & JW's
by jazbug inmark did another 30 min.
today on the jw child abuse issue with an attorney from here who handles abuse cases.
elder mike was back on and made a bigger fool of himself than last week, this attorney says he has dozens of jw's who call email him every week concerning sex abuse.. mark was a little surprised to discover how many pending lawsuits there are against the wts, several here in spokane.

I have to agree with you Mary...Mark didn't help the prosecutiion in the OJ trial but he certainly didn't blow the whole case. And because he told one lie that the world knows about doesn't make him a "liar" in every situation. I can't say I have "never" lied about something.
He lives in Sandpoint which is predominantly Caucasian but it is also a very beautiful area which is why most people live there. Spokane is also predominantly Caucasian and I doubt that most people live here because they are racist. Whatever faults he may have, as we all do, we have to remember that he is the one that was able to get the Micheal Skagel (sp) case reopened resulting in his conviction after 25 yrs. of the case being closed.
For the past few months he has been exposing the Catholic priest issue on his talk show. A few weeks ago I wrote to him about the JW child abuse issue and then he called Bill and Erica and set the show up. I don't think he has any ulterior motives. Probably if you heard the show, you would have a clearer picture.
He has had Bill and Erica on his show and now an attorney who is handling MANY JW abuse cases in Washinton state as well as abuse issues of other religions. I personally know JW's who listen to his show and the facts that are being brought out are irrefutable. My hope is that it will help to open the eyes of some. Erica's case was held close to here but most JW's believe that was an isolated case. Now, on a local radio show, the extent of the problem is being exposed, not just by Fuhrman but by others who know about the policies of the WT.
Erica told me that he talked to her after the first show, giving her praise and encouragement for her courage. Altho, he can be intimidating and actually irritating at times in his demeanor, he seems to have a sensitive and caring side, especially when it comes to the abuse of children.
So IMHO I see it as nothing but good. I CAN tell you that Mark F. will never look at JW's the same again. He even had Elder Mike back on the show to let him prove his points. However, Mike still stumbled and stammered when Mark would ask him questions on WT policy. So I see Mark as being fair to both sides of the issue but the facts stand for themselves.
So that's my story...and I'm stickin' to it.
