the april 1st issue of the watchtower invites those who have some 'serious concealed sin' to report to the "loving christian elders".. it reminds the r&f that they (the elders) "will not treat lightly your desire to experience the restoration of a good relationship with your heavenly father".
oh yeah?
we all know that this is code for a judicial committee.
Patriot-
At my congregation, just three weeks ago, they disfellowshipped two teenagers (one just got baptized a few months ago). They obviously had sex more than once and (I'm assuming) they were caught instead of proactively confessing.
No mercy was shown in their case. These young people, who need support, were instead cast out like demons and now are shunned. Even sadder, they have since gotten married. I wonder how long the marriage will last?

um, doesn't the gb elevate itself above the so-called 'rank and file'?
not to mention the elders, the minsterial servants, the pioneers, auxillary pioneers, co's, do's, and attendants.
Thanks, DIM.

i was reading one of the posts earlier about how hypocrisy among the rank and file really pushed some over the edge.... well, how about this one?
my mom and i were watching pretty woman on tv tonight (edited version).
it is her favorite movie, so i told her i was going to buy it for her.
college girl-
We probably know each other. You can e-mail me if you want to know who I am. :o)
my jw mother used to peel the cross off the hot cross buns at easter time...she said it was her way of compromising...so that we werent partaking of anything pagan.
did anyone have parents like mine...or am i the only one??
what was your understanding of easter eggs and hot cross buns at easter time?
nytelecom1 is nothing more than a wasted ejaculation!
This isn't a personal attack.
Buttholes like nytelecom1 come about when their parents don't use protection.
It's wise for adults to use protection when they may conceive a beyatch like nytelecom1.
This is not a personal attack...
only an attempt at bringing mankind into a healthier state.

Change your sales tactics, Jehovah
Jehovah sent a bigger brigade than usual of witnesses to Yeoville yesterday morning, determined to badger sinners into converting to their faith before the Second Coming. You couldn't miss them even if you didn't believe in the First Coming.
Maybe somebody should tell Jehovah to change his (or her) sales tactics. It's not nice being accosted by a persistent salesperson when you are carrying five litres of wine, and then the salesperson sets the agenda for the discussion and seems unconcerned that you may be in a hurry.
Presumably one is not supposed to be rude and tell Jehovah's would-be witnesses to buzz off or they could enter the Kingdom of God before the Second Coming.

A FORTY-five-year-old woman has registered at Rwenzori Christian Vocational Secondary School in Kasese to pursue a four-year course for the Uganda Certificate of Education.
John Nzinjah reports that Hellen Rutabona who completed primary seven at Kamaiba Primary School last year, passed PLE in division 3 with aggregate 30.
"I am a preacher with the Jehovah's Witness but my preaching has been limited because I was using only the local languages. I hope that I will be able to preach in English after my S.4," she said recently.
Rutabona, who speaks fluent Swahili said a 'good samaritan' had offered to pay her fees for the first term and was hoping more people would offer to sponsor her.
1) If it's to further the Good News, why doesn't her congregation or the Society pay for her education? Wouldn't that be loving?
2) Would ANY JW ever pay the fees for a non-JW who wanted to attend this school?
Odd thread but I was wanted to vent. :o)
call this phone number and listen..... 213-213-6070
After you listen to the whole thing (music and all) you will get three more options.
These options are functional. You will hear more messages. Try all three.
Hilarious!
hollywood, california (reuters) -- the force will first reappear for charity.
lucasfilm and 20th century fox have announced 11 sneak preview screenings of "star wars: episode ii -- attack of the clones" on may 12, four days before the wide release.
portions of the receipts will be donated to local children's charities, with some seats given to disadvantaged children.
lurk-
I definitely liked the Darth Maul character. They killed him awfully fast.
I wonder how much the charity tickets will cost?
