in view of the conti verdict of negligence by the org, are elders who are selected by the c.o.
now in a precarious position?
"charity trustees face potential liabilities in a number of ways.
At some point in life, I have been the daughter of, the sister of, the wife of and the mother of
an elder.
They are either men that are of the greatest integrity and character or they are small town cops who finally found a job.
Then there is the occasional crazy but they are self limiting to a degree.
I couldnt write enough about the good ones (a great many of them are here amongst us)
the bad ones?
Make me believe firing squads.are a good idea.
well, our sister congregation just had their co visit this past week.
on saturday afternoon, i was talking to a couple of ministerial servants in that congregation and they stated that an unmarried brother is not fulfilling to the max what jehovah wants of us.
they stated that the co went on a tirade that if you are unmarried you are being selfish and not following what jehovah wanted for mankind since he created eve as a compliment for the man.
I think you have the idea John Aquila.
that would also work to even out the ratio of men to women if the men are tied by all the ties that bind and the left over women feel they are giving God their all.....
sometimes i get a strong curiosity to start dabbling into other religions, other faiths, you know?
really different ones such as islam, judaism, hinduism, etc.. has anyone here looked into something else?
has your spirituality been satisfied by any other than christianity?.
LOL Gio,
All I can figure is the question about feeling a strong affinity for nature...but I didnt mean that strong!
I put it down to me being in such a state of flux right now.
Being Org trained my entire life I have so much to learn about what I believe and what I think.
What did your test reveal?

And yet another way to be like the Mormons!
badda bing badda boom
righto poppickers.
as some of you know, i have been putting together a book of interviews and humour.
it is designed (i hope), soften the blow for those inside the wbt$ who want to escape and also prove to those that have left that they are not alone.. anyway.
Like the "give us money" references, that should resonate.
This is going to be great. You have such a good sense of humor and are so creative.
Love it!
just out of curiosity, if you are in the united states, did any one of you attend a 4th of july parade today, where you live?
i attended the huntington beach fourth of july parade.
i've been attending that parade since about 1993. it's always fun to photograph the different celebrities who are in the parade.
I would attend if I could see the interesting things you get to there in California.
I live in a rural area not in California and there is no parade.
I have three really big dogs and they are all requesting to be inside however due to the fireworks booming outside.
Bombs bursting in air you might say.....
they take our trust our love our youth our family our friends our life our hopes our happiness our children our parents our vitality our minds our hearts.
.
then they kill us.

Neo pagan says the quiz.
I will have to research to see what that even is!
just asking about this "new light" of the 7 member of the governing body (the gb-7) being the fds.
what is the point?.
what biblical "argument" have they given about that ?
Hold Me-Thrill Me.
By the way, the monthly JW Broadcast is late.
Whaaaat?
Is the Holy Spirit getting backlogged?

I think they closed rank on who the FDS was because the "remnant" scattered around the world were seen by the GB as getting entirely too full of themselves.
Little peon "anointed" in their own Halls and along the side ways and by ways were uttering their thoughts and regular publisher people were "ohhh" "ahhh" over it.
The change of the overlapping generation was an ideal time to just change the base of power also. Pull it back in to a straight up and down arena of control of 7 men in NYC.
Naturally, this has resulted in more disgruntled "anointed" ones round the world. Some of started websites critical of the GB in NYC but for the most part it is unimportant to the publishers it would seem.
