  I keep posting comments wherever I find the article.

  Can this be referred to local papers and tv stations?

  You All Need To Read This New Letter Sent To All Conregations In Victoria Australia About Police Checks For Elders

  by Hairyhegoat in

  2. friends

  police minister peter ryan has written a letter to mr unthank advising that jw's are now applying, in mass, for the wwc in victoria.

  to little to late.

  criminal charges still stand and cannot be backdated!

  What do you want to bet the Borg has gone through its list of elders in Victoria and had any pedos kicked down to MS or lower status before sending this letter? Guarantee there will be no pedos discovered in these checks; that doesn't mean there aren't any in the Kingdom Halls.

  Prediction: Expect a change in Study Edition distribution

  after all the hoopla over the "mentally diseased" stuff, i'm making a prediction.

  i expect that the borg will stop distributing the koolaid wt online, at least to where anyone can download it.

  i expect that they will require the jws to create logins and passwords to access the study edition, somehow tying that that back to what congregataion you're in and maybe even an elder approving that you attend.

  I think they will get more and more insular over time. It is what cults do.

  I don't know if the membership/login thing will go live due to the current news cycle but I suspect it will eventually.

  If there is one constant about the Borg it is that it's always changing.

  From the avatar I would guess he was Darth Fader but I really don't know.

  As for mocking, ALL humor has a butt of the jokes. That's what humor IS.

  "anyone who actually knows the real reason for the personal visits to our neighbor's homes, knows it to be based on love.

  love in imitation of that which jesus had in his own ministry.

  the same one he taught his disciples to follow.

  you don't see us in the stores condeming these things because it your right to do these things no matter how we may personally feel about it

  I call bullshit. JWs do nothing BUT bitch bitch bitch about the Christmas music and crowds during the holiday shopping season. "I can't wait until these holidays are over!" (some of them can't bring themselves to say the word "Christmas") "I hope this is the last Christmas we have to live through in this system!" "Satan's really busy isn't he? They started playing the Christmas music SO EARLY this year!"

  Tell me you never heard Dubs saying stuff like that!

  Do your elders care at all?

  by Mr. Falcon in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i currently have an elder body who, for the most part, seems utterly complacent and disinterested in actually "shepherding" anything.

  i can't tell if they are lazy or just oblivious to their responsiblities of being "teachers".

  it seems like they are the last to know anything and always procrastinate on everything.

  Most of the ones I know want to care but just don't have the energy. They're too busy caring for Watchtower-imposed duties to care for actual people.

  i don't know if this is accurate or not.

  it's on of those fb chain letter thingys but it's awesome and i'd thought i would share:.

  in her radio show, dr laura schlesinger said that, as an observant orthodox jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.

  Hilarious! Demented and sad, but hilarious.

  BTW, some of our Canadian friends slave pretty hard to keep this site running. Thanks y'all! Consider yourselves owned based on God's inspired Word.
