  Weird Fred Franz pics (other presidents also)

  by Joliette in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was reading crisis of conscience and i noticed a really odd pic of fred franz on page 90 (looks like he was sitting down?

  ) in the picture, and i knew i had seen him somewhere before (watchtower) or yearbook, and i always wondered why the organization took so many pictures of the presidents back then...if they didnt want the emphasis put on men but on the organization??

  why was this?

  my mother was telling me that the only country that jw's havent reached is afghaninstan?

  i guess it said this in a recent yearbook.

  if this is true, what are the risk entering into this country?

  Racial question about the annointed aka 144,000...

  by Joliette in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as an african american associate of jehovah's witnesses (since the age of 5, actually i remember going to the kingdom hall as young as 3).

  i've always wondered why most of the annointed were and are white.

  i know there are a lot of white people on here so why is it that there are.

  i thought this was funny especially since latoya jackson used to be a jehovah's witness.

  i dont know if there is any fan(s) of family guy out there, but i'd thought i'd post this:.

  adam west: we invited jesse jackson to open our ceremonies with a prayer.

  Calling all LGBT Former and current Jehovah's Witnesses. (especially Bethelites, Gilead Graduates, etc)

  by Joliette in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just starting this thread because i really want to reach out and hear stories from lgbt witnesses both former and current.

  i myself am a african american lesbian and i was raised indirectly as a 3rd generation jehovah's witness, and my parents know about my sexuality.

  i dont know if i'd get a good response here, (i thought about going to a more private forum on this website) but i'd think i'd get the better response here.

  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?
