  The Ray Franz Saga

  by snugglebunny in

  i'm just curious as to how it all happened.. to explain.

  many years back, before ex-jw websites, i called on a local lady in order to design an extension to her already enormous house.

  she was a young, voluptuous gal, married to a much older local business man who spared little expense in order to give his young wife whatever her heart desired.. we chatted for ages.

  Thanks wifibandit!

  Interesting that they couched the announcement in between banal announcements that appeared all the time.

  A slap in the face to him and their way of diminishing the entire event no doubt.

  As to how it felt at the time? I was pioneering and in my 20s and all I thought was that Jehovah lost a son (satan) and now Fred Franz had suffered the loss of his nephew and it seemed that no one was immune to the bad effects of sin.

  Of course back then, the GB werent real anyhow. They were just names..

  Died Due To Refusing Blood Transfusion

  by rrb2016 in

  well, last monday my mother, a jehovah's witness since her baptism in 1968 died last week because she would not accept a blood transfusion.

  she was 76 and had lung and skin cancer.

  i know that the cancer would have gotten her anyway, but she was bleeding internally, and was told that she needs a blood transfusion, as her blood count went all the way down to 3.2 (should be 12-14.

  You wear tight pants and you will be in trouble

  i was reading in another forum, that a letter to the elders instructed them to speak to anybody who persists in wearing tight pants.

  if changes don't happen then the instructions are to disqualify him from being a publisher but it won't be announced to the congregation.

  i am am curious to see if this letter will surface.

  What is it they are really afraid of?

  It cant be homosexuality...is it following trends?

  What exactly is behind this ridiculous?

  If they really believe its "bunker time" why are they worried about this?

  Why do witnesses feel the need to put JW ORG on all their social media sites?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have you all noticed the obsession witnesses have of putting jw.org on all their social media sites like facebook, twitter, instagram etc?.

  so many put it in their bio section...like some sort of loud proclamation to other witnesses that they are righteous and spreading the message.. it's also very lazy.

  now with no personal effort at all, they can just say jw.org and be "witnessing".

  Have any of you seen the big JW semi that is making the rounds on everyones facebook?

  It seems that the buttons are just one part of a growing materialistic "look at what we have" movement in JW land.

  Im glad to see so many posters picking up on the "no field service" part of that letter.

  This is really a huge change from Headquarters being introduced quietly.

  Once, a sister here who was DFd was going out in service on her own. The service desk was called and the elders here were told there was nothing to that could be done about her going out in service on her own, Since she was still dedicated and baptized, that was her right. But not to work with her or support her in anyway since she was not a member of the congregation while DFd.

  That has been the official position for years.

  This new stand of disallowing field service based on grooming is really opening a can of worms.

  Whats next? Annulling baptism?

  Because by their own "rules" isnt a person required to preach if they are baptized? So if there are provisos on that how does it get determined?

  If it can be taken away, how is it given back? What is the protocol exactly?

  Is it up to elder whims?

  Yep, can of worms has been opened.

  great article...chinese were brewing beer 5,000 years ago.... not bad considering it's not far off adam & eve... :).

  .. .. chinese drinkers may have been brewing beer as many as 5,000 years ago, new research suggests.. us and chinese researchers say they found traces of barley, millet, grain, and tubers used in fermentation.. it was found on pottery discovered in shaanxi province in northern china during an archaeological dig 10 years ago.. it would be the earliest known instance of beer-making in china and suggest a sophisticated approach.. published in the us proceedings of the national academy of sciences, the study also suggested that barley may have been used for booze before being used for food.. as every home-brewer knows, funnels are an essential piece of kit.
