We knew quite a few women and babies from Africa with horriffic scarring from husbands who had deliberately set them alight. These weren't JW but it is common for this to happen when a man no longer wants his wife or children over there.

The gal I'm dating frequents match.com - advice?
by UnConfused ini am dating a gal that i met on match.com - we saw each other first last summer, but she didn't think we were a 'match'.
after the "pressure" was off we started hanging out quite a bit with all the benefits that go along with it.
this went on for months.. i became smitten with her, but we weren't a couple, which she pointed out a couple of times.

Personally, if I was with some-one I would not still be looking if I was content.

Earn $25,000 by pointing out a Scripture
by The Searcher into all my genuine brothers & sisters who can't/won't believe many of the things which cast aspersions on our "spirit-directed" governing body's teachings.
a simple, straightforward offer - i will contribute $25,000 to the worldwide work (or if you prefer, to the pedophile victims in our "organisation") if anyone can tell me where in the bible it talks of new scrolls?
just one point to keep in mind before trying to give the society's "view" - read jehovah's warning at revelation 22:18,19!!

Just looked up "new scrolls" on the 2011 CD rom. It does not appear anywhere in the bible, only in WT literature.
Why did I never know that before?

I can't remember the 'Most Important Date of My Life!' Can you?
by Diest ini honestly cant remember the exact date when i was baptized.
it does not bother me one bit.
i didnt have it stamped in that shitty reasoning book/babel that i got at the time, so i guess the only place i could find it would be my cards, which are far away..

I wrote it in my Bible and because we couldn't celebrate birthdays and I didn't want to remember my wedding anniversary after I got divorced this was the date we exchanged pressies.
When we moved to Fuerte we had a party every year on the anniversary of the date we arrived.

Is it possible there will have to be "noo lite" soon regarding The Memorial?
by Amelia Ashton inmy understanding is that all jws originally took the emblems.
then when numbers went over 144k "noo lite" showed not all were destined for heaven but the leftover surplus were now going to live on.
earth.

My understanding is that all JWs originally took the emblems. Then when numbers went over 144k "noo lite" showed not all were destined for heaven but the leftover surplus were now going to live on
earth. These surplus ones did not attend the memorial as it was only for the anointed.
As numbers of the anointed declined they decided to invite the surplus to come and respectfully observe them sipping and nibbling and try to bring as many onlookers as they could find willing to waste an evening.
The numbers of those who sip and nibble have now declined to such an extent the "respectful observers" have got nothing to observe, except possibly some mentally ill person taking the emblems disrespectfully.
It is a bit daft inviting people to a meeting to observe no-one taking the emblems.
Anyone like to make a prediction on what the noo lite might be?

KH and Gold Scam part 2
by iamwhoiam inat our hall..we were given a 0% loan for remodel as long as we paid it back in a very short period of time.
and even though the building has long been paid for by the congregation and yet our reserves were low, inorder to get that loan, we were to turn over hall ownership to the society.
since the congregation had to vote on it, and no one is going to raise thier hand against, it got passed.

I was in Horndean congregation when it was said from the platform so it would have to have been prior to 2004.

Kingdom Hall remodel - scam
by Dagney ini was wondering from any here in the know, does it seem like there is a lot of "remodels" going on?.
in the last week i had the occasion to talk with two jw's in different halls, about 10 miles apart.
they both are undergoing major remodels.

I remember being told from the platform they accept all gold jewellery even if it is broken. Just put it in the box at the back with other donations for the Worldwide Work.
However, I don't remember them saying "but not gold crosses or christening bangles as they are part of Babylon the Great!" Lol

Thanks for this.
Have not seen the video but "Landmark Conventions in 1931 and 1935!"
What is the purpose of reminding people of all those now dead who thought they would be alive at Armageddon?

I thought the bible condemned charging interest.
