  Does anyone know how much $$$ the governing body gets a month or what kind of payment they receive? I know their living quarters are very nice at Bethel.

  MOSES AND THE COPPER SERPENT......mysterious!

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  isn't it odd; even mysterious that christians think jesus could be represented by a serpent?

  numbers 21:8 and the lord said unto moses, make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

  21:9 and moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

  when i got home today from work my wife showed me a 5 page letter from our oldest son.

  he basically said he does not what anything to do with us because of all the wrong things we did as parents to him and his brother.

  he blames us for not being there for him and we are toxic parents.

  I like your letter and hope things work out for you and your wife. We have all been abused in one way or another. It's a sad world for some of us.

  Some odd developments

  so things are not making sense at all here in my fade.

  as i had posted earlier, i had a long intense talk the other night with my husband where i thought it was crystal clear just where i'm at right now with the wtbts.

  then, the same week, he's not feeling well and asks me to take the kids to the mid-week meeting.

  Your husband may be acting like he is ignoring the problem, hoping it will resolve on its own. Your parents may have remembered the council to just encourage the weak meeting attenders. Time will tell.

  good morning jwn-land.. since my parents and my husband and i have learned ttatt we have been keeping quiet, mostly.

  we have held off on revealing our true names, my dad has held off joining jwn and telling his story because we have been waiting for one special event.

  my dad talking to his mother about ttatt.

  I am so glad your family has one another to help you through this horrendous mess. You are more fortunate than you know. This is traumatic to leave your long held beliefs.

  There are so many people waking up now, I find it encouraging. It draws attention to the fact that the Watchtower is a scam. Hope your friend is able to come out of this with minimal discomfort. Let him know he is not alone. It was such a comfort to me when I found like minded people here on JWN.

  a woman i've known for years recently confided in me.

  she told me she found out her jw husband had been secretly e-mailing his jw ex-girlfriend.

  he was telling his ex about how difficult it had been for him since his wife was now basically an apostate.

  Anyone who has ever seen the movie "When Harry Met Sally" knows that men and women can never be friends, "the sex part always gets in the way." That is not true 100% of the time, but close to it, IMHO.

  Will Jehovah's Witnesses ever follow the lead of Roman Catholics in New York and encourage members to report child sex abuse to police?

  by Sol Reform in

  2. child-abuse

  and will they copy catholics by banning all child molesters from serving in kingdom halls?.

  a spokesman for dolan (cardinal timothy dolan, head of the u.s. conference of catholic bishops ) said in an e-mail that the archdiocese of new york has had a policy for years that encourages those with allegations of abuse to report them to civil authorities, and that here are no known abusers serving in the dioceses.

  The Watchtower Society thinks it is God's earthly visible organization and will never bow to the pressure of mortal man (unless it's going to cost them a lot of $$$$$).

  if you're still in for the sake of others, how's it going?

  what specific plan are you working on to get your loved ones out so you can leave, too?

  how is that plan progressing?
