  So...how EVIL was Theodore Jaracz??

  by Joliette in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm reading crisis of conscience right now and even raymond franz mentioned in his book that ted jaracz didnt vote during governing body sessions based off of 'a gut feeling' like dan sydlik and lyman swingle did, but voted based off of having 'a mean spirit (dont quote me on that) but bascially got an overall vibe that ted jaracz was not a very nice man.

  and whats this about the child abuse policy that he enforced?

  what did he do that made every ex-jw's in america hate him?

  i really don't like the ipad (or apple) but i think an ebook reader would be nice.

  nothing made by sony though .... the amazon kindle and barnes & noble nook look to be the best (esp.

  with the recent price reductions) but i'd like any insight from anyone who has one.

  this was stated by a over zealous pioneer to another witness in my congregation.

  what a self righteous stament.

  being the fact that jesus has been given the right to judge(matthew 25:31-33).

  in my hall growing up, i remember 6 childless couples.

  some have died, some are still alive.. i stayed single for the kingdom, hope to change that.. presently in my congregation, there are 4 brothers over 30, two over 40, that are single for the kingdom.

  and about 10 single sisters over 25.. three of the five married elders have no children.

  get rich quick schemes, multilevel marketing, pyramid schemes and JWs

  by marmot in

  2. scandals

  from my experience growing up in the jws there were two big recurring themes when it came to making money: .

  1 - window washing or other janitorial work .

  2 - cheezy "get rich quick" schemes and other cult-like sales practices .

  Why 6 Billion People Deserve to Die in Armageddon

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah is such a righteous, merciful, loving god -- slow to anger, overflowing with loving kindness and blessing.

  yet it somehow bothers many of you that he will shortly execute his judgment on mankind and wipe out 99.9% of the world's population, as if that somehow is supposed to conflict with his loving qualities.

  personally, i have no idea why many of you feel this way.
