Ran into not One, not Two, but THREE elders at the same time!
by Soldier77 inso i'm out doing some shopping at the supermarket and as i'm walking to the checkout, i see my so and his wife (in full fs attire) talking to someone just past the checkout registers.
i am looking for the furthest checkout at this point making sure not to be noticed by the so or his wife.
well, just my freakin luck, there is only one checkout open.

if reactors were built away from fault lines this would not be an issue in japan. there will always be a risk weather its nuclear radiation or a deep water oil spill catastrophy. i just toured the hoover dam and the water level is getting lower every year so as long as we continue to live the way we do and consume power without restrictions i dont see any safe garantees
sorry for the spelling

Are we losing members quicker than the WT ??
by wobble inreading a thread from just a few months ago, made me realise that a lot of people who used to be regular contributors here no longer do so.. i know that people have always moved on, as the anger and hurt get less, as the wt mind-set totally disappears, we feel the need to come here less and less, but because of the intelligence, insight, wit and wisdom of these people, the board is somewhat impoverished each time one of these moves on.. this is a plea to all who post now, and some who still read but don't post, please do not leave us entirely, the contributions on here are literally life-saving for many.
it is easy to get dangerously suicidal when the whole wt pack of cards falls down for you.. please do not become a stranger to us !.

i think the turnover is a positive thing. just about everyone here leaves and keeps the insight with them then they check back from time to time, new ones join, post a while then follow the same pattern. there is a lot of knowledge of the fallacy of the "truth" out there

Why Don't Witness Parents Get Angry?
by metatron inthere are a great many puzzlements in regard to the meek and servile compliance of witnesses but one area has long interested me.
specifically, why don't more witness parents get angry at the do-nothing watchtower society?
i can recall one somewhat deranged elder's wife who got away with demanding to speak to the assembled body of elders because she was worried that 'all of of our kids are falling out of the truth'.

assemblies; how times have changed
by Evidently Apostate inmy wife mentioned our circuit assembly was this weekend, she looked at me and i let out a chuckle and said "the kids are too sick right?
" (they weren't) but it was what she wanted to hear, an excuse from me to blow it off.
it got us thinking about how they were kind of tolerable when we were younger.. meals with ice cream, lots of volunteering to get you out of your seat.. there was more room at past assemblies.

One of my male relatives was out of the borg for several years. It was common knowledge that his girlfriend was living with him. Well, he decided to make a comeback. He confessed his sins and was silently reproved. The girlfriend started a bible study and they were married. Shortly thereafter she was baptized and he was appointed to all the usual positions in the congregation
i believe this is a more productive approach, its still a double standard.

my wife was telling me about her friends mother that had faded for seven years and was living with a man. she married him and talked to the elders about returning to the kh. they told her they had to disfellowshipped her. so now she sits next to her daughter in silence at the hall living out her sentence.
I know this bothers my wife, she looked at me and said "thats not how the prodigal son was treated". The coldhearted nature of the relgion has had an awakening effect on her and she really feels for her friend. The elders are so kind, you would hope they wanted to heal one of christs lost sheep who wanted to return to his flock. I know this woman feels bad from the way her daughter talks and i am sure she prayed for forgiveness, she has said her mother stopped sinning and married the guy she was with and was attending meetings and showing repentant works. You would think that public reproof would be enough. guess not
It reminds me of the prodigal sons father responding to his older son, "but we just had to enjoy ourselves and rejoice, because this your brother was dead and came to life , and he was lost and he was found". Luke 15:32.

its sad how witnesess will use the courts to allow them to operate without prejudice yet their own court system (judicial comittee's) are corrupt.
