  Also try anywho.com and click on 'reverse directory'

  If you do a web search, the correct term you should use is 'reverse directory' btw, not caller id. There's a million of em out there.

  DF`ing Committees Need a Chaperone.

  by Englishman in

  i remember, when i was but a lad, how a young sister of 15 was publicly reproved to the whole congregation for being sexually experienced.. a couple of years later, the same thing occurred with another young lady, who was forced to sob in front of everyone.. even then, with all my j-dub imprinting, i recall feeling outraged at the congregations treatment of these girls.

  i felt that the way that they had been dealt with was far more intrusive and abusive than anything that they may have experienced in their first sexual forays.. i recall feeling very deeply that it was very wrong for a female to have to submit herself to the interrogations of 3 middle aged men, whilst she had to be alone in her guilt and misery as she endured their probing.. in later years, my ex-wife had to go through this experience.

  ok, she was no shrinking violet, but again i felt most indignant on her behalf.. surely, this is not right?

  Rayvn,

  I'm GLAD you weren't hurt but I just couldn't help but thing you were laughing at the wrong one! That 'meeting' is what's laughable!

  Anyhow, my dad tells me that as of late, Elders are counseled NOT to ask questions such as the ones people like us have endured.

  But I won't wait for the apology for that one either.

  PS. I was also told I *didn't cry hard enough*. YAH, like I wasn't all cried out finding that my fiance was a MARRIED MAN and that I was pregnant. In retrospect, those men didn't deserve to question me. I'd never subject my child to that kangaroo court.

  Elders' Gems of Wisdom

  my dad asked the co about this one.

  mat 27:52-53. and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, .

  and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

  At this moment I'm trying NOT to remember what the elders said, but I can share a funny experience with you.

  A VERY pregnant sister was getting ready to go up on stage and give a talk. She had on one of those BIG necklaces with a huge charm on it. As she wobbled to her feet, the necklace swung forward and caught on the wig of the VERY elderly sister in front of her. As the elderly sister had just more or less placed the wig on her head, it was easily lifted off when caught by the necklace.

  It gets better.

  She then looked down as she was walking to the platform and saw A STRANGE FURRY BROWN thing on her stomach. She yelled and screamed and knocked it on the ground, and when she looked down and saw what it was, gently walked back and placed it on the (still asleep) old sister's head.

  True Story.

  Angels .Jehovah's invisible deputies

  by MacHislopp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  im sure you are aware of the great task of the angels.... they deliver ...the message to the watchtowers writers .... .

  the lord used the watchtower to announce these truths.

  doubtless he used his invisible deputies to have much to do with it.

  The happiest depressed people on earth

  by Norm in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as we know after many years in the watchtower society, brooklyn loves to tell us how incredibly happy jehovah's witnesses are:.

  *** w99 10/1 8 "for everything there is an appointed time" ***.

  13 of course, the fact that jehovahs servants weep over the sorry state of world affairs does not preclude their being happy.

  Norm, you are dead on. The R&F are like a bunch of zombies.

  They are happy because they are told they are happy!

  Of course, the amount of your life that you spend on pursuits decreed by the WBTS have nothing to do with your salvation. But they want the R&F to believe it --and they do!

  THAT'S why so many experience burn-out-----they are trying to EARN their salvation. They don't know it's a gift from Jehovah.

  Governing bye-bye

  by RR in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well as most of you know, when the society reorganized the governing body retired as officers, in fact the society itself is run by earthbound members.. .

  recently two governing body members kicked the bucket, klein and swingle.

  that leaves the jw's with just eleven governing body members, who spiritually feed the masses, while the other sheep run things.. however, six of the eleven are so old they don't even know what time of day it is, the other five are younger and newly.

  Re: "You wouldn't understand it unless you...

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember at a book study the conductor saying something about ho simple everything was and that anyone of us could easily talk for a minute about our beliefs.. everybody froze of course and was hoping he wouldn't pick them.. no one could or wanted to do it even amongst each other !.

  it's a sad indictment of the 'faith' isn't it.

  i have a theory that 90% of jw's could not tell you what the current beliefs were.

  ROFLMAO @ hippikon.

  Now that you mention it hip, I wonder do the guys who wear the flashy ties have you-know-what envy. LOL.

  Did any one see that movie The Nutty Professor with Eddie Murphy? I don't know if you caught it, but there is a scene when he leaves the nightclub and runs out and gets in his Lamborghini or Ferrari and he squeals breakes. As the car flips around, the License plate says

  "PNS CAR" LOL nobody I know caught that except for me. Wonder what that says, LOL.
