  But it was so long ago, nobody will remember what took place, who did what, what procedures existed and we've all learnt so much more since then. Everyone called to be a witness won't remember what happened and if they do find any paperwork, they'll have no recollection of it.

  That's what they did at the Aust. Royal Commission.

  The corporations that may be involved may also pass the buck onto the Government saying that it is their responsibility and if there were laws in place they would have complied by them.

  Esmerelda this may be the sort of questions JWs ask but I had no realization of this, I was born in. I think they are highly inappropriate and they have set of some alarm bells, even more so because you are a single woman.

  They were trying to work out your support network and I don't think I am exaggerating when I say that I think this is the very thing a pedo would do. Even if it is more innocent they want to work out how easy it is for them to draw you into the cult and make you feel dependant on them (the JWs).

  A lot of JWs are gossipers as well and don't expect that the information you give them will be kept to themselves.

  Steer clear of this couple.

  In a larger group I would normally suggest that you spend some time observing others and see how they interact with each other but it is different in the JW world because there are many who put on a fake front but typical of a cult.

  i did some reverse domain lookups to see what web domains were linked to watchtower.

  i did reverse lookups on the hostmaster address, building address, and phone number.

  i've sorted and deduplicated the results.. bethelres.org.

  They are handy for the WTBTS to have when the official site is banned in certain countries. For example, you can't access the official site in Russia but some of the other sites you can.

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  and they were amazing, 8 years of my boy growing up captured on a few films i once made.. the past is of course not the only thing to look forward to, but as i watch these movies i see so many acts of love and so many perfect times that i had forgotten.. so my question is do you have " the greatest ( photos) or movies in your collection" that you may have neglected?

  .

  if so my xmas present to you is, take them out the drawer and dust the cobwebs away...... the rebel..

  In the 60s my father had bought an 8mm camera. Each film was about 6 mins long, no sound and b&w. He took a film once or twice a year as it was expensive to buy the film. They've been transferred to a DVD.

  Hubby and I hired a VHS recorder a couple of times when the kids were younger and couldn't afford the expense of buying one in the 80s. There was a toy b&w camera being sold in the toy shop which was fairly cheap. It connected to the TV and VHS recorder and we used that for years. The picture and sound was great and we were able to capture the kids on it as they were growing up.

  Photo's are good but having the film brings back the memories so much that you feel you are living those moments again.

  Thanks for the reminder.

  Cappytan, not trusting someone with personal information and hating them are two very different things.

  He wants names, telephone numbers and details of any emotional or physiological effects shunning has had. A person should consider very carefully whether to divulge this sort of information to anyone, let alone a stranger.

  Loi, it might help if you try to think about the nice things they've done. I can see a lot of positive things about these people just in what you have written.

  Diogenesister are you personally recommending that we give our private details to John Cedars/Lloyd Evans?

  i read this forum on my phone so occasionally, as i'm scrolling down the page, i accidentally touch the 'dislike' button on a comment.

  i don't have the option to 'undislike' after i touch it.

  once i touch the button, i can't change it.

  Untrusted

  greetings,it seems that jw immediately assume that all "wordly" people (as they like to call it) are immoral and unworthy of their trust.

  i sort of understand how it can be dangerous for a christian to have association with someone who doesn't share their values, but don't you think that some members take the conceal lied in corinthians 15:33 to the extreme?

  what about romans 2:14?

  I'd love to know how they handle this sort of situation in the workplace. Over the years I've found myself having to travel with a male workmate for one reason or not.

  Come to think of it, I was assigned to a project with a guy and it was only through being alone with him and travelling that I found out he was a JW. We got on great and he didn't think twice about the issue of us being alone.

  Bloodless surgery is the standard today because of medical progress. Or NOT?

  by Nathan Natas in

  it appears diogenesister feels a need for a proper ass-kicking.. ok, if you insist.

  i'm a dub proctologist.... attempting to hijack greatteacher's thread "jw parents in severe car accident,".

  diogenesister seized my observation that "bloodless surgery is the standard today, not because of the wtb&ts but because of medical progress" with he carefully-crafted argument "bull crap.".

  Would they also like to take the credit for doctors and the legal profession finding ways to have children's medical treatment being dealt with urgently when necessary, through court orders? The legal process is pretty much streamlined these days.
