  The story said that "Camara" was abused himself when he was younger. There is more story here, that makes me wonder.

  Was he sexually abused by JW relatives, himself? Who knows. I know that JW's wouldn't encourage him to seek counselling, but he should have. There are many that don't seek counselling because of the shame, and unsettling experience this experience was in their life.

  He was a MS...wow that is unsettling. Imagine how people looked up to him as an example. He gave talks in the KH and was held in high esteem over the simple microphone carriers. But, Jah had inspired his recommendation. Holy Spirit was present when he received that appointment. You wish. What insanity we allow in our faith.

  This is so disgusting, and so shamefull.

  Really?

  Not this one, and maybe 90 % of the others.

  Here are some other points to keep in mind. Turkeys don't like to celebrate Thanks-giving. In fact they would rather we would all go preaching on that day.

  Now that missionary man, cheats on Thanks giving.

  Welll, probably only one Elder takes the arrangement and a few people who are unemployed year round are out that day.

  The rest that work, trust me, will be at home for a deserved rest.

  I always felt sorry for Bethelites that had to work on a Statutory Holiday. The law states that you had to pay workers overtime for working a Stat holiday. You know what happens with those Bethelites, eh. Are the Bethelites ok with this? Not really. I know exactly how they feel about this.

  Zid has to say "goodbye"... For now...

  by ziddina in

  2. friends

  my computer-support service has checked my computer because it's been rather "glitchy" lately, and the hard drive is failing.... so, i'll end up being cut-off from the board, for a while.... some of you have my personal phone number, if you need to get in touch.... **********************************************************************.

  here's something else that's been bothering me.... we're going to fly out to see the in-laws soon - and i'm very uneasy about flying.... if something should happen to me, could you people please help find good homes for my animals???

  they are all indoors animals, have been spayed/neutered, and are pretty good with dogs.... there are six cats - the seventh one, minx, will have to be "put down", as she is slowly dying of feline leukemia, and is far too "high-maintenance" for anyone else to care for.... but there's chomper - a neutered male, six-toed cat, somewhat feral but ferociously loyal to anyone who will be patient with him - and feed him wet food... he's a big, short-haired grey-and-black tabby... unfortunately, in the process of the hard-drive decay, my computer no longer recognizes my crappy printer, and so i can't load a pix of chomper... but he's a big cutie!!.

  The Irony....(brother) Prince

  by Simon Morley in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so ("brother) prince is coming to town and he is quoted as saying that "as a baptized jehovah's witness he has put his past behind him".

  on one hand he is allowed to put on such a concert that the gb states that baptized jehovah's witnesses should not go to.

  would the gb frown on (brother) prince attending his own concerts?

  We had a chubby sister that spelled like Elephant bum ( a name my kids invented, when they met her) She came to our BK, in our car for FS, and tried to sit with us at the KH.

  She had a memory, like an elephant, too.

  Actually, the GB hasn't said anything about going to concerts. There are many JW's that go to concerts. Enven Bethelites go to concerts. Ifr you like his music, treat yourself to a ticket and go and enjoy it.

  Infirmed List for Pioneers?

  by skeeter1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  apparently, the watchtower allows a few "infirmed" people to be labeled as a pioneer, provided they do the best they can in field service.

  in other words, the hour requirement is waived.

  how is this approved?

  That's right, EIS.

  It's sad that the Soc makes this out as a career, and then calls it a sacrifice and this is the only reward...a name. This is important to some, but some never bothered with it and were satisfied to switch to a publisher status.

  In order to qualify for this, you should of at least pioneered for over 15 yrs, and be disabled.

  There isn't a Elders letter that exist for this, but the CO has all the Soc's correspondence on this.

  It is the Service Committee that recommends a person for this, then sends it to the Society. Once your on this list, your on it forever, even when you are wearing depends. Yes, I have seen some pioneers at CA's praised for still pioneering under this status.
