on the way home from a function last night, an old song from the 80's came on the radio.....flashback time.. dad: you can not listen to that song!.
sister: why not dad?.
dad: because it is like the society says!
I can't remeber the Judges name, but he had a TV show where people would settle their claims on his show.
A Witness woman was taken to court by her neice for disposing of he music collection, while she had been living with her for a period of time. The neice won the case.

in the case of silent lambs versus the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses.. did you ever think that discussing these cases here accompanied by your vitriole against all things watchtower could be used to:.
1. show that ex jehovahs witnesses harbor such a hatred for the watchtower society that they will say anything to discredit them.. 2. show that there is a network of ex jehovahs witnesses that may have helped to create these abuse accusations in the alledged victims' minds or at least have encouraged them, even unwittingly, to exaggerate their claims.. i guarantee you that the watchtower society has documented every word anyone here has said, especially on this issue.
i can easily see a defense team using it to, if not exonerate accused molesters and the watchtower society, to at least create a reasonable doubt regarding their guilt.. if your hatred of the watchtower causes you to join in irrational behavior and accusations, you have to contemplate the fact that you may be adding to the future grief of any real victims.. i present this for your thoughtful consideration.. as always, i wish all here peace.. joel
"6. Joel is concerned about lurkers here who need balanced and factual information, not hyperbole and propaganda to make serious decisions about their spirituality and mental and physical welfare."
Joel, if this is how you feel, then why not stick around and give your view point as well, to balance it out, so to speak.
People read all sides of an issue and then make a decision. So is it not better to have as many different views as possible?
Just a thought.

okay people i am going to the jehovah's witnesses congregation to talk with the preist or elders.
i have over a dozen questions to ask them, they are short and to the point.
if anyone want to give any last minute advice i am listening.
What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall.

is it just me, or is "everyone" on this board bitter?.
i do know alot of happy jws and, i could not see them being anything else but jws.... .
this is just my take on what i have been reading on the boards sence i joined up...
I'm not bitter. I only invested six years of my life to the WTS. That's small potatoes compared to the one's who were raised in it and lost their childhood to serving the WTS.
If some people are bitter, who can blame them? They gave up the best years of their lives.

with all the "food" "fluff" larc has started, it has made me wonder how many here are vegetarian or meat eaters.. i like my meat in winter, but only in very small amounts.. summertime i go completely vegetarian and relish fruits and vegetables.. how about you??.
ana.
manners require time, and nothing is more vulgar than haste.
I like meat. Both kinds.

my son (who's 15) came home from the meeting last night (he thinks he wants to be a witness, but that's in another thread) and said that his grandmother (my mother-in-law) told him my reason for not going to meetings (the un thing, also discussed in another thread).
he told me that i need to talk to the po about it as he had heard about it a while back and has some information.. hmmmm, me thinks the mom-in-law has been talking to the po about what i told her last week.
i'm sure that i will be getting a shepherding call (a drop-by, unscheduled visit) by him this weekend.
Spin Doctor said:"Our resignation should not be taken as showing cowardice but as showing courage. The perception our immediate resignation gave is secondary to ensuring Jehovah’s name is never be reproached and to ensuring our brothers and sisters are not stumbled."
The only problem with that, is the fact that the WTS did not resign until it's members and ex members started flooding the WTS with phone calls asking for an explanation.
Had many people not called them to ask, they would not have resigned.
