wt on the ropes.
today, sunday, july 14 has been a very eventful day here on the board.
we have seen the letter posted that was read out at kingdom halls in britain.
There is point worth highlighting in the reporting issue, that being that the first point of contact is the Legal Desk at Bethel.
This is stressed in BOE letters, and was given significant emphasis at the Elders School, last year.
Since this contact may be by letter and responded to by letter, the child at the focus of the allegations may still be left vulnerable for some time, before the appropriate authorities are contacted.
with the accused and the accuser to see what each says on the matter.
reveal that similar, uncorroborated allegations were lodged against the same person in the past, perhaps.
may 9, 2002. page 2. however, even if the elders cannot take congregational action, they are expected to report the.
You have been told that here in the United States we have compiled a list of 23,720 names of child abusers. That is false. First of all, the total number of names in our records is considerably lower than that.
Brown is here confessing that their total list may be considerably higher that the 23k. He's only commenting on the numbers of those listed but the Society as actual abusers. Further, he's not reporting how many of those have been reported to the authories.
I find the "20 year" rule interesting. All the BOE letters say "some time" or "many years". Hence this is an open confession that there are listed child abusers (not just alledged) in positions of responsibility.
Gotta love the way they use smoke screens. Cynical... me... ???
PS. Nice to see you Steven - been a while - love to the family

without going into too much of my personal life here cos i really do have great sex!!!!!
basically, being brought up to believe that masturbation was wrong i think has affected my adult sex life!
hard to type this without being physically sick but whenever i masturbated wen i was young,i always felt if i didnt cum,i hadnt sinned as much!
Kat:
Are you coming to Eman's BBQ, next week?
my daughter went with a friend to the district convention today (i did not attend).
here is the text message that she sent from her cell phone:.
" so bored.......dying slowly".
Expat:
They stopped doing Hella's chocolate - you are now safe from their wicked and tempting devices.
A triumph to "Simplification, in the time of the end!"
.
i hated all the elders who thought they had to tell someone what had to be done and they themselves weren't doing it.
what about you?
I was a true believer - I loved everything, except:
Elders meetings.
They really are an eye opener into the psyche of group megalomania. Holy Spirit didn't flow so much as opinions. The good ones bow out, burn out, buckle, or leave.
Counting time.
Because it just didn't seem as if the pioneers were truly doing it for the right reasons, and this appeared to be the main reason why. Besides, I hated having to clock watch, too, especially when I was cold and wanted to stop for a coffee!
just a little something i knocked up last year, which has subsequently been forwarded for publishing (to my utter astonishment): .
life's turns.
life has so many ups and downs,.
Just a little something I knocked up last year, which has subsequently been forwarded for publishing (to my utter astonishment):
Life's Turns
Life has so many ups and downs,
The ups so great, cross great divides
The down's so steep you can't abide.
Yet all through life we fight the troughs
In hope of better things aloft.
Would life be plain if all were still?
If silver platters held our fill?
Would soon we bore of life itself,
When contrast stops...
...whilst life moves on?
So many gifts, or missed desires,
That cross our path, so few inspired.
As history so oft attests,
Hindsight is great, but gives no rest.
Fight on, fight on, with ev'ry breath!

<i>me & my girlfriend decided a long time ago(2 years) that we not having kids.
for reasons, but one of the reasons is because, we gonna wait till the next life(isaiah 65:17/new paradise earth), another reason is cause, we knoweth that the messiah will come back in our life time..... now that's hella strong faith, we have faith that the final destruction/peace & safety/armageddon will happen in our life time.... so we waiting!
great right?</i>
U2K:
It is probably a very good idea. If you are successful you may be a worthy nominee for this years Darwin award.
As for faith - what is your focus? John 3:16 should be giving you a clue as to what (who) you should really be looking at.
Both myself and my wife made a similar decision when we attended the talk "Responsible Childbearing in the Time of the End!", in the mid-eighties. Ah, the regrets!

some of you have heard of my issues at work with some of the characters i work with.
it's got me pretty stressed out.
we had a little "meeting" last week where he wanted to talk to me.
Seems to me, if we throw a little role reversal into the pot, that you'd like to slash his tyres, poke him, throttle him, cover him in toothpaste and strand him in Arkansas.
Any chance you can pay someone to do any of the above?
Only kidding, but you've obviously got deep issues with this guy that are affecting you on a sub-conscious level as well as the conscious. He is disturbing your harmony and peace, and sounds like a generally unsavoury character.
From here, it seems unlikely that you will kiss and make up. I suspect that one of you will move before the end of the year. The alternative may be that it will affect your health. Not forgetting that you already have the added stress of wedding plans.
You're in my prayers, sis.
there i was, enjoying a lovely warm morning in sunny winscombe in deepest somerset whilst working on a clients roof, when out of the corner of my eye i espied 3 ladies sauntering up the road at a leisurely 0.5mph.
aha, i thought, that looks like the pioneer crawl, there's dubs on the horizon!
i had my car parked in the customers driveway, so i thought to myself "why not take a break now, sit in the car and munch my blt, and see if they approach?".
ROFLMAO
It baint fair, I tell ya. These durned 'posaaates know maaar than we do!
Nicely done, squire.
