i was having an affair with a pioneer at the time and a girl who was disfellowshipped was in the loo at the hall (she actually had not done aything scriptually wrong (but the elders thought she had ) i tried to smile at her as i felt i was not in a position to judge anyone as guilt was destroying me but she just looked down at the floor , 14 years later we are good friends and both "free".

when you were "in" and ignored disfellowshipped did you ever think "im not in a position to judge anyone " ?.

with the new burj khalifa standing 828m tall god must be pooping his pants worried about what else man may achieve.

.

that old tower of babel must have been really really really tall to have caused him to panic somewhat.. the burj khalifa is nearly twice as tall as the empire state building.. what the hell must he be thinking now.

1. jw
2. friends
i knew a few jws (including some of my family members) who would go clubbing, concerts, play sports ,watch rated r movies and go to party's with "worldy" people.

at the same time, managed to live life in the "truth" (such as field service, give talks, hold the mic during the wt study, etc.).

were you one or knew a jw who was like that.

"SECRETS OF PEDOPHILIA" CD Court Records Now FREE to Download
by AndersonsInfo in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
we're happy to announce that now all 5,000 pages of court records from the nine child sexual abuse lawsuits involving sixteen victims, settled by watchtower in february 2007, are available for free download from our website, www.watchtowerdocuments.com.

there are a total of twelve files, besides a file containing a commentary explaining the lawsuits, and each file can be downloaded separately.

due to the fact that many people purchased the cd, "secrets of pedophilia in an american religion," thus, reimbursing us for the expense to buy, compile and publish the court documents, there is now no reason to sell the material anymore.

here is an interesting link that compares the bible's teachings versus the koran's teachings.

is there a way to know for sure which out of the two books is more credible?
