  Elders (Current and Former), JCs and Qs

  by laverite in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm thinking of sweetbabycheezits and his wife right now...started wondering about not only their situation but also related situations.

  then i started thinking about our esteemed elders on this board.. you gotta wonder, at these jcs for "apostasy," if any of the elders that sit in judgement have concerns/questions about the borg of their own.

  did any of our current or former elders on here ever have some uncomfortable situations on jcs where you were dfing someone for "apostasy" yet you knew the brother or sister was actually 100% correct?

  2. friends

  has anyone written a history or provided a good overview on how jwn developed over the years, the apostatization/apostatisation of the website and simon?

  it was interesting to see the plan thread that simon wrote 10 years ago.

  i've caught some glimpses here and there, but i'd love to get my hands (eyes) on a history of this site.

  2. friends

  no, i'm not worried about having a blood transfusion.

  i worry about me and my children not getting life saving treatment should there ever be an accident as all next of kin are jws.. as a da'd single/only parent, i worry if i am ever taken out of commission in an accident, and my children (or i) need medical care, that my jw family (they're all jws!!!

  ) might try to prevent that.

  Horrifying Demon Attack: My Experience

  by laverite in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on a warm summer day when i was about 12 years old (early 1980s), i was home alone for a brief time (family had gone to the grocery store).

  i had always been terrified of the demons and was constantly worried about a possible demon attack.

  being born in, growing up a dub, the devil and his demons were always either on my mind or not too far from conscious thought.
