i really want my neighbors to see the latest issue of the watchtower.
that is how bad that 2/15/2012 article about how to lure your worldly spouse into the cult, even if you have to take 17 years of beatings is.
i think the people who get hooked in based on the less offensive public literature should see the offensive crap before they are indoctrinated.
The March article is even worse. Wait till you read the article, "Hit me again, and put some steak on it this time"
This is going to be a study article, with such subheadings as, "When he shares your faith". "Beat me to the limit" "Excellent Bible Women who could take a beating" and "Field Service cures all wounds"

I'll come Sernity, but, do you believe in coffee breaks, and do you count them for FS time?
curious, with almost 25,000 members here.
network of j.w.
does anyone have any up to date info on the status of the volunteer "spies"?.
I like your response to this Diamondiz
over the past few weeks i've been told that the eurozone will go into melt down and that this will be the start of armargeddon because the goverments will then turn on religon to get their money instead.. i have been told that the greek pm almost rejecting the greek bailout plan would lead to armargeddon.
of course much to the jw's disapointment the greek pm resigned and the greeks did accept the bail out.
thus saving the greek banks from collapse and thus the rest of the european banks.. i have been told that italys debt will mean they will plunder the vatican for its wealth!
Hi there

Yes, I know of many RCMP (Canadian Mounties) that carried guns in the 70's . Policies re. the wearing a fire arm had chg'd by then. Some got to transfer into other profiles, not requiring a fire arm.
I remember a situation involving some paranoid JW brother who was under an investigation by some elders. He accused a sister who worked at the institution in exposing this information. When the elders contacted this sister, the sister had no idea of the event, and was shocked. The accused member complained to the Admin dept about the claimed breach. The department where the sister worked had no involment with this case and there absolutely was no possible way that the department where she worked had any info of the events. The Elders had received this info from this brother, from his wife, whom he abused. Theft was also involved, and other matters, Sometimes the guilty one is paranoid when they see a brother/sister working in a record keeping position.
I'm speaking in defense of those brothers and sisters who seriously maintain their oath of silence, and do not devulge confidentialities.
A JW is just as qualified to handle such information, and shouldn't be excluded from any job opportunities that they are qualified to perform.
Don't stereotype them as sqealers over a few that can't find the balance in between their work and life. I and they don't care about that crazy WT article.
i have been reading countless heartbreaking accounts on this site of children of jehovah's witnesses being "disfellowshipped" and shunned by entire families, their congregations, basicly everyone they have ever known for simply questioning their parent's religion!!.
some have been tossed out of family homes to live in cars!!!
this is not christian.
These are good points. I believe that the existing laws do show that it is wrong, neglectful, abusive to treat a minor child with shunning. But, shunning is wrong on Adults too. Shunning promotes hatred, intolerance, and prejudice.
i would like to relate with the first suicide that took place this year, this was more than seven months ago.
this person was deeply distraught and was talking about killing themself.
the conduct of this person started to escalate (deep depression with morbid thoughts.
Wow, this is so sad. The last thing a person who is suffering a form of mental illness needs to hear about is that they need to attend more meetings, do more FS, pray more. The message that gives to someone is you are not meeting Jehovah, the organization, or your brothers and sisters expectations, People care alot about how they are accepted by others. When they get the message that their plight is caused by not doing enough, they feel like failures, and it just goes downhill from there. I am no phychiatrist, but I have a few friends that are touched by this.
I think that the elders are in over their heads with this. The ORG is to blame for this They always want to give the impression that they can fix everything. Unfortunately, they missunderstand their limits.

Yes, and to all that calamity the trend to shift from the small headphones to the large thick ones. It really is a sign that the end is near. Might be in an hour....I'll respond to this thread to update you then.
