in fact any elder or brother for that matter who didnt use the correct pronunciation was viewed as illiterate and dorky so the congregation snubbed them.... i remember the word machinations (of the devil) and the emphasis that it should be pronounced mack in nations.... another one was.

behove was meant to be pronounced 'behoooved'.

i remember a talk being devoted to use of the correct grammatical pronunciation of words.

I remember a talk dealing with marital relationships? and part of the outline I guess required that the speaker had to discuss how taking the women from behind, and no it wasn't discussing anal, just from behind, was to impersonal. From the front, face to face, was more of a loving act. From the rear is reserved for animals according to that outline.

Kinda on the subject of taking one from behind, we had a speaker, who during a talk which condemned homosexuality said, and I quote.

"Anal sex is said to be very addictive, once you have tried it, it's very hard to stop"!!!!

I just want to cry

by sabastious in

jw
friends

but it's so hard for me to let out the tears.

i think it has to do with how my dad raised me.

crying was very looked down upon.. just got done reading chapter 4 of combatting cult mind control.

AnonJW

Yep, you need a good cry friend. I was raised in the same way - not to let it out.

this particular publication while not for sale (well none of the wts publications are either technically) is not distributed broadly but is still nonetheless part of their bible educational work, while not required donations are joyful accepted by all jws for the purpose of this work....... here are the previous discussion threads:.

Chapter 5, page 72, paragraph 39

39. If the accused denies the accusation, the
investigating elders should try to arrange a meeting
with him and the accuser together. (Note: If the accusation
involves child sexual abuse and the victim
is currently a minor, the elders should contact the
branch office before arranging a meeting with the
child and the alleged abuser.) lf the accuser or the accused
is unwilling to meet with the elders or if the accused
continues to deny the accusation of a single
witness and the wrongdoing is not established, the
elders will leave matters in Jehovah's hands .

Even "worldly" courts know the dangers of an abused child having to face his abuser, this is why minors give video evidence? Many Elders are naive as to this policy (there have been lots of appointments in the last five years - younger elders) and I think that more than a few will be standing down after the school.

KS10 Chapter Four Discussion

by yknot in

in ch.

4 of 'shepherding the flock of god' by the wts is part of their worldwide non profit bible educational work which is supported by voluntary donation but not required in order for a publication to be placed with 'rightly disposed' persons.. chapter 4 addresses "assisting those who are weak" and is required reading prior to the ks.. it is the hope of this thread to assist those preparing for ks as well and assisting the wts in educating those about the responsibilities and directions elders must adhere.. here are the previous discussion threads:.

Paragraph 6: Shepherding

Make an appointment!

Paragraph 24:

What a bag of crap

Paragrah 25:

WT's in the past have stated that JW'S do not need outside help with regard to marriage problems? Eg relate / marriage guidence.

KS10 Chapter Three

by yknot in

chapter three from 'shepherding the flock of go' published by the wts of penn/ny as part of their worldwide bible educational work.

the wts is a non-profit whose publications are not for sale but are freely given to those who show 'genuine' interest..... while not required, a donation is always joyfully accepted .

well i was going to stick to the boe ltr for a 'pre-view' but somebody deleted my sendspace links.

Paragraph 2:

I thought that Elders were appointed by Holy spirit?

Paragraph 7:

Is it still "the three year rule" with the exception of child abuse?

Paragraph 13:

The first question to be asked of one being appointed is a contradiction of other sections of the book. Pre baptism sins are not to be concidered? BTW, a phrase often used for appointment is being "made up". Isn't that a Mafia saying?

Situations that may raise questions

Paragraph 20:

Child abuse - this would likely disqualify one from serving for many years!!!! I think that I read somewhere that said that one would never serve as an appointed man, I will have to dig for it.

Paragraph 25:

Digging for reasons for one standing down. Mind your own business!

Paragraph 4:

Attempted suicide "may be the result of deep despair or major depression! DUH! If not the DF them?

Paragraph 5:

Oral & Anal sex is ok as long as YOU ARE married to each other.

Paragraph 6:

Masterbation is not Porneia

Paragraph 10 "Brazen Conduct"

Romantic relationships outside the religion, to my knowledge up to now this would bring reproof, a marking talk. It seems now that you can get DF'd for it.

Paragraph 14:

Abhorent forms of porno = kids, rape, torture, bondage etc. Straight sex porn is ok?? I seem to remember reading a WT or something that stated that there is no such thing as "soft porn", well there is now. New light? Do you think that this will ease the minds of many who like to watch main stream porn?

Paragraph 20:

Stealing - does this include those who chhose to pioneer and live on benefits rather than get a job?

Paragraph 34:

Not providing, pioneering and living off benefit and not choosing to work?

Paragraph 39:

This is the reason for which I will most likely stand down as an elder. Although by remaining as such I will be in a position to make sure that it is handled in the right way(law of the land) should it occur locally.
