  So alike, its no wonder we are so close!

  Dogs also look at the left side of the face when they are gauging our emotional responses - like we do. Have they learned it from us, surely they have!

  The public prosecuter is interested in getting information on JWs.

  background information.

  i myself am in full fade mode with an overly active jw wife, who refuses to discuss any point whatsoever.

  a friend who is not a jw nor has ever been a jw; he studied for a few months, then realized what an evil cult it is and stopped.

  Heaven Actigall & all Hi I signed it, I just put in the extra information section as to why I signed was that the WTBTS world headquarters are in the USA so any policy changes regarding paedophiles have to be sanctioned by the GB (whatever autonomy legal rules give branch in various countries it counts for nothing etc etc)

  So basically anyone from any country the WT has congs may be affected by that which happens in US of A.

  Cheers Sis D

  Yup, I get that too. The love bombing is what does it for most people. I mean who would join, no matter how much sense it made, if all the people where mean?

  The sense of community has always been the toughest thing to give up.

  PS nothing wrong with needing some love.

  Nice moment today

  so it's been a few months since i last went to a meeting but i've still had lots of guilty feelings about leaving, such as am i doing the right thing, thinking about friends and family, where do i go from here etc etc.

  but i think once you stop believing you can't go back.. anyway, today i had a very nice experience.

  my daughter had been to nursery today and when she got home i asked her what she had done and she excitedly told me they had been doing pumpkins.

  i was looking at a few youtube videos about jw's/wt etc and came across a particularly obnoxious and supercilious jw by the name of 'sweetmikser'.

  has anyone else had the misfortune to come across him (or her?

  if ever you want to remind yourself of what the 'new personality' at it's worst looks like then i suggest a read of some of his/her comments.

  Talk about rabid - I was talking my son to Great Ormond Street childrens hospital today for an appointment.

  A rabid JW was standing at the top of stairs leading down into the underground station, tract in hand bellowing at the top of her lungs "You're all gonna die and your children are gonna die"

  Usually I am sorry for dubs & I am not normally an agressive person but I wanted to belt her one.

  No 'Tight Pants' policy is now official - classed as 'disturbing'

  by wizzstick in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in short:- tight pants is no longer just a am3 hang up (or is that a hang up on the well hung?

  )- brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up- as are sisters with 'masculine' hair styles or dress- such dress is 'disturbing to the congregation'- the above must heed the (repeated) counsel from the elders...or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry- however...this will not be revealed (announced) to the congregation.

  wow.

  Even for gay hating wtbts it is grossly unfair for the many reasons posted, but mainly as Christians because it is even to them the practice of sin hence:

  1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor etc
  

  1 Corinthians 6:11 - "And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."

  Interestingly I found this regarding the subject:

  While the scripture may sound clear, the debate actually surrounds the use of the Greek word that this particular version of the Bible translates as "homosexual offenders." The term is "arsenokoite." Some say that it is a reference to male prostitutes rather than to two committed homosexuals.

  Yet, others argue that Paul, who wrote the passage, would not have repeated "male prostitutes" twice. Even others argue that the two root words in arsenokoite are the same terms used to prohibit any premarital or extramarital sexual relations, so they may not refer to homosexual relations alone.
  

  However, even if a person believes that homosexuality is a sin based upon this scripture, the next verse does say that homosexuals can inherit the kingdom if they come to the Lord, Jesus Christ.
