  i am very surprised that a very pretty lady that is i/o psychology doctorate major, she would like to go out with me on date.

  she knows that i do not have any college degree.

  to be honest with you, i am pretty much intimidated by her intelligence.

  Alteration in the German Watchtower about spousal physical abuse

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i noticed that the german edition of the study watchtower for today didn't include the phrase about the husband "hitting" the sister.

  instead it just says that he became ferociously angry, which need not imply physical abuse.

  i wonder if the german translator altered it off his own back or was instructed, and how other language editions compare.

  I think that whey outlawed corporal punshiment in the schools (Spanking) the world went DOWNHILL fast, It's like when Happy Days ended up changing how we view fathers in the family - They are now looked as Bumbling idiots, no respect like we have had for Ward Cleaver! I miss you Beaver!

  We should go back to spanking, this will put it all right in the eyes of world Children will grow up with more respect and not bump over a wheelchair lady like we saw in the video on TV NEWS last week.

  This world has gone to heck in a handbasket, and we need more spankings,,,,repeat after me...

  WE WANT MORE SPANKINGS!!!louder, I can't hear you all!

  Known Pedophile takes young boy to bathroom at circuit assembly....WTF?

  by QuestioningEverything in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  my mil's circuit assembly was this past weekend.

  she came over for dinner to our home after the assembly.

  in conversation, it came up that a known pedophile was seen walking to the bathroom holding a young boy's hand-no relation to the boy at all, although that wouldn't make a difference!

  Look, I know she is 80 ish...but did she "miss see" who was holding the little kids hand?

  Maybe she just mistaken the dude for another guy by eyesight mistake

  I can't imagine a Pedo would be that brazenly open

  Hey,

  I had to deal with this a couple of years ago in Virginia,

  check your state and get a good Lawyer, as I belive they have to "Compensate you" if they ask you to sign such a document AFTER you have been working there for over 1 year?

  Drop me a note back and if I can help further, I will

  hey Diana,

  I thought you lived in England? Whereabouts? I used to live near Leeds and then Bristol/Bath for a year later.

  So did you get the "situtation" resolved? How did it turn out for your son, his uncle and "boss" ? Most of the folks are correct, gotta let them do it on their own, if they dont put their OWN HEART in it, it wont work or go very far,

  I have raised 2 children - a boy, now 26 and a girl now 24, really much like "chalk and cheese"

  Let me know how it's all going on the project, oh BTW, my granddaughter loves trains....she's 3 - would the uncle hold the position oepne for about 15 more years? Thomas is her favorite , then Percy a distant 2nd.

  Peace out

  we all know how jw brag about their strong internal love.

  all are treated equal no matter rank, color, money, status etc.

  is this really true?

  Dear All,

  While I realize that most have written about "personal experiences"-and ALL are very true. Think back over the years about the letters read, KM's published and how we were treated when it came to "special" events such as International Assemblies and special trips to gatherings and meetings sponsored by the WTBTS.

  What truly "started the ball rolling" was the personal experience I am about to relate:

  Many years ago a KM was read about attending the Eastern European Assemblies, my family is from there, came over after WW2, In fact BOTH of my parents were Holocaust survivors, however I wont go into that. So I had a desire to attend and travel there. I wanted to see my parents "homeland". But the letter stated, "it was open to elders, pioneers and MS's that met the qualifications could only attend." I was NEITHER of those and felt so slighted I wrote a letter to the NY BETHEL to ask why???

  About 2 weeks later my local PO came to me with a copy of my letter and a note to "cease further discussion of this matter as it was not upbuilding to the congregation and organization." He said if I wanted to go I could "go on my own", Funny that was not my desire but it helped prove a point. There IS NO EQUALITY at WTBTS, it's all a farce. Having that experience in mind it made me think of the George Orwell's book "Animal Farm" and the famous quote - " all animals are equal, some MORE equal than others". LOL

  As a side note, about a month later a new letter was read that it was "now open " for all to apply to this trip (s) as I suppose as they did not have the response required and the travel department need to get apprpriate numbers so they could get their travel discount (or free trips for the privledged few that were leading the groups) on these itineraries. I am sure you all know how group travel works for those that set up these mega trips.

  With that in mind, it became very appearant that there is a real distinction in the ranks of the Organization.

  Over and out for now, (I really do not post much)

  Victoria, Australia: A MUST READ-Transcript of audio recording of WT letter read to all Victoria congs Oct/Nov. 2011 re: Working With Children Act

  by AndersonsInfo in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  see www.jwnews.net, steven unthank's private blog site where he posted the following material.

  i enlarged and put in bold the third paragraph of the wt's letter where the elder, an ex-bethelite, made some fascinating errors while reading the letter by using the words, "borg" and "perp.

  " does this mean what i think it means?

  Wow! on a Momentous Day as April 5th, I am further dismayed and NOT surprised by this recording.

  Wouldn't it be grand to get a "Copy" of this letter for all to read. Hes to say that JW are not Volunteers and not part of the WTBTS. UnHoly amazing after all these years and all the lives lost to be a "Witness" in history, We certainly are living in monumental times.

  THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END for the WTBTS.
