The governing body=the faithful and discreet slave. No longer is it the 144k collectively. Not that they gave a shit what the rest of them ever said before, but it definitely is more a of a "we are the boss" message.

We all sin? Really?
Who determines what is sin? You? Your holy book? Your invisible friend in the sky?

Yahoo article, "It happened to me: My Mom Dumped Me in Foster Care When I Renounced Her Religion
by fortis et liber ininteresting article and even more interesting comments.
author was molested by a jw elder, told her mom (and others) about it, was not believed, her behavior spiraled out of control (acting out), was placed in foster care by her mother that refused to believe an "upstanding member of the congregation" could do something so despicable.
article here (i hope this works/i'm such a luddite): http://news.yahoo.com/happened-mom-dumped-foster-care-160000998.html?soc_src=mediacontentstory&soc_trk=ma .

Didn't go to memorial this year
by silent inmy wife and i had business to attend to out of town today and i had thought if we made it back home in time, we'd go to the memorial.
as it turned out, we didn't get home in time and we missed it, but we had a real good talk with each other on the way home.
we are largely successful faders and at the very least, i like to try and make the memorial.

Which beliefs are you clinging to that you feel the witnesses have some sort of monopoly on? There are quite a few religions out there, a buffet so to speak. You probably can find one that fits your system with a few hours of online research.
Or why not just live your religion privately? Give of yourself where you can and to causes you support. You don't need some heirarchy to tell you do this or do that. Its a pretty damn good feeling to just do good things on your own because YOU want to do it.

Circuit visit elders meeting
by Saltheart Foamfollower infirst some context to this post.
historically the elders meeting with the circuit overseer has had the following format : outline for meeting including ministerial servants then, after they have been dismissed, discussion of local issues.
the last visit there was an additional outline for the elders only, the notorious "gender blurring" discussion.. you might wonder what is being discussed this time round, so here you are:.

Which delusion will you choose?
by JW_Rogue init occurred to me while at today's wt study that over 100 people were wasting an hour of their life studiously examining the differences between two delusions, paradise earth and the heavenly hope.
everyone made it sound so serious when in reality it means nothing at all.
either choice is wrong and foolish nonsense.. it was mentioned that mark sanderson found his heavenly calling at very young age.

I drove by a KH today by chance. Parking lot was full at 2PM and it was an absolutely beautiful day outside. I wondered what sort of myths they were considering inside today. Sad. -

And live with the constant threat of execution over your head 24/7? No thanks.
The problem with paradise earth as taught by JWs is that the second free will is exercised outside of the rules, you will be killed. Not really paradise in my opinion.

Has anyone any contacts in Australia specifically Jehovah Witnesses
by tor1500 ini hope i added this topic so everyone could read & comment.
i was just thinking, since this arc thing, does anyone here know any one in australia, that knows about the arc or how it's affecting the jw's there.
i used to go to a site that had a really nice person who is a jw, he never argued or debated, never sent back hateful comments, & he lives in australia.

Brenton puts the not so bad spin on it here:
http://en.allexperts.com/q/Jehovah-s-Witness-1617/2015/8/royal-commission.htm
Im wondering though, about the list at the bottom of the article, here's the summary -- why in the world would the branch have reports on Non family non witness perps, the next line is questionable as well. Family, non witness would be UBM mainly I suppose. Why would WTS have records on many of these? Anyone know where this info was actually from?
Perpetrators
Non family, non Witness - - - - - - - - - - - - - 199 reports
Family, non Witness - - - - - --- - - - 470 reports
Elders; where victims were family and or non family - - - - - 18
Ministerial Servants; where victims were family and or non family - 32
Parishioners; where victims were family and or non family - - - - 287 reports
TOTAL - - - - - - - - - 1006 reports -
