Over a billion people and most of the poor. So I take it everyone in India has free internet & tablets? Or are those with tablets supposed to go to a KH for downloads?

What would happen ??
by Clambake inthere is a certain elder in my wives hall that has seemed to developed a real interest her.
first he seemed to feel a need to make sure all her blood cards were signed before she gave birth to our child.. he sends her text messages if she misses a meeting saying how much " we missed you last night ".
he finally sent her a text wondering where her oct hours were , knowing she had some pretty serious tears from child birth and could hardly even walk, much less do field service ".

Find your balls man! She's your wife and a new mother, for goodness sakes. Tell him in no uncertain terms to LEAVE. YOUR. WIFE. ALONE!!!
Field Service????? Jesus sent mothers with newborns door to door? Is he CrAzY? This type of thing only happens when you deal with someone who has a serious case of the stupid.

How can one not be depressed when mentally/psychologically abused 2-3 times a week?
The control freaks get their control from constantly telling the "flock" they are never good enough or doing enough or giving enough. Who can take hearing 'you're a loser' all the time? Their sheep didn't get lost, they ran away.

Other Religious Groups Critical of Higher Education
by Wild_Thing ini was reading an essay online about how witnesses are critical of higher education and discourage it.
the editor's note said there are other conservative religious groups that hold the same view towards education.. there are?
do any of you know of any religious group that works as hard as the jws at keeping their members stupid?.

Likely some small church groups in the US South that see learnin' as folly. Also those family "religions" where the guy has several wives and zillions of kids. -

Judge questions whether confession privilege should extend to Jehovah's Witnesses
by GodZoo ina us judge is considering whether it is constitutional to have a law that protects the clergy of just one religious denomination from disclosing what is said to them in confession.
(including what's said in judicial confessions by peodophiles.

Simon is correct, IMHO. There's only one mediator and it isn't a human. Also, if you "sin" against someone, you are supposed to go to that person and ask forgiveness before asking God directly for forgiveness, not some un involved human 3rd party.
Confessional is an irrelevant non Biblical farse created by the very Europeans who created differing classes of Christian adherents from their pagan Roman and Greek customs.
Jews don't confess their sins to any man. Jesus & the Apostles were Jews.

I Hate the Sound of the Word Jehovah
by cofty inlistening to clips of the latest manipulative video from the watchtower i realised how much i detest that word - jehovah.. sometimes i have thought it would be interesting to observe a meeting or part of a convention.
every time i heard that word i would be unable to stay in my seat.. i have a visceral reaction every time i hear it.
it stands for so much that i have contempt for.

I feel your pain. It doesn't bother me at all. What does bother me is using what one believes to be God's name in a highly selfish & nefarious manner making it a name to be despised. Now that pisses me off.
Probably why neither Jesus, nor one single apostle ever used "the name". It is not used one single time in the NT. Besides, there's only one name given for Christians to make known ... and it isn't Jehovah.
From a Biblical standpoint, It's like spitting in God's face when you ignore his will; which is to make Christ's name and activities known. JWs aren't ancient Israelites under Mosaic Law. They're supposed to be Christians.

Farewell
by EdenOne in"don't be dismayed by good-byes.
a farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

I think you should stay. Remember being a JW meant you were never allowed to disagree. In fact, there was an intense fear of disagreement. It's a dysfunctional way of life, not to leave out the serious lack of social skills possessed.
Some do not know how to disagree. They do not know how to functionally argue a point. Their lack of common skills lends to them becoming hostile, bullish, and just plain mean.
It's the JW way to either be right or become angry at disagreement. It's a bad habit some have yet to kick.
You have already awoken to that behavior ... and no, neither you nor I have to put up with shit anymore. Skip the replies that have no value other than to inflame. Remain a member but take a break from the forum.
If the GB wasn't able to suck the humanity out of you and kill your spirit ....

Theocratic Warfare
by stuckinarut2 inno doubt we noticed the royal commission ask vin toole (and i think terry o'brien) about the expression "theocratic warfare"?.
they were asked to explain it and what is meant to witnesses.. vin outrightly lied when he said he "had never heard of that expression!".
i remember him using that term in conversations and talks many times!!

Lying is lying. It is not "theocratic" anything ... just lying. No such thing as theocratic warfare exists among Christians. Satan is the father of the lie.
Christians worship God with spirit and TRUTH.
Only those ashamed of the TRUTH lie when called in front of Caesar. No witness for the "Truth", just a bunch of lies. Fear of men. Evil slaves ... cowards!

Cooperate Members of the Watchtower Society
by James Jack ina older sister in miami florida has told me that the special pioneer couple who got their walking papers last week said they are also voting members of the watchtower society.
also his stock share is valued at $800,000!.
i did some research and spoke to some longtime witnesses and found out that there are 500 voting members of the society and they are also called shareholders.. has anyone ever of someone selling his share?.

Yes, it's a corporation with shareholders, voting members and such. Not all are JWS either. There's a shareholder meeting every year to vote for whatever. IIRC, Rutherford's extended family owns the majority of shares. Also, yes, you can sell your shares.
It's a business that has certain religious exemptions.
