what we can read in the wt 10/15/2015... they have really no shame!.
.
This is so funny (ironic) in view of the fact that in the section addressing pedophiles in the July address by Morris, he claims being "naive" as a legitimate reason why things werent acted on sooner.
They need to make up their mind as to whether this is a bad or good trait.
the internet is the archive for civilization.. watchtower cannot hide it's history.. are we seeing the beginning of a mass exodus out of her?.
Speak to mature brothers about it?
What does that imply? Are they trying to say elders? Why not a mature sister?
just wondering what questions you might ask an active jw following the july broadcast and the 10 minutes addressing child sex abuse?
or is it even worth the trouble.
I would say to any JW about this broadcast,
"Just remember, what they are worried about they talk about"
Doubters was the concern at the Regional and pedophile cases is the worry they have 24/7
don't want to get into a lot of detail but it seems like my wife is finally having some flashes of awareness.
she's got them before, but not in very touchy subjects.
she was willing to seat down with me and look over some websites talking about some very controversial subjects that i do not dare to write about at the moment.
anybody know about a brother h. latchman in fl.
a jw elder was talking to me about him.
he was so impressed with the fact that he was a. sub.
There certainly appears to be a distinct class of educated wealthy JWs that sit apart from the normal rank and file JW. Do we know if these JW heavies are part of the select group of 500 men or so that actually make up "The Society"? Or are they just part of that mysterious "patron class" that have been taught the green ack ack adack secret handshake?
It would help if there was a list of the "500" wouldnt it?
I am guessing that is not public information perhaps?
special assembly was attended by 30,000 and 173 was baptized.. see video-footage given by english language belgian web site.. (interestingly, the press spokesman was a sister).. http://deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws.english.
Quite frankly I am amazed at the baptismal numbers coming out of Europe. I thought Europe was becoming decidedly secular?
I wonder what accounts for this?
i have just found out that my brother (who was one of a bunch that shared this login) has died.. he and his wife were living in another country where they once pioneered.
i didn't see him that often.. such an empty feeling.....
so after being deleted because of my comment on her instagram post by my sister-in-law i got a text from her stating she didn't want a debate on instagram and the scripture i posted would not apply to satan, they are worried about me, go see elders, return to jehovah, or else you won't get life, etc etc.... i'm ready to respond with the following reply:.
so....hit send?
make changes?
You asked for opinions so here is mine...
in my JW days if I received that message, I would delete it without considering one word of it.
why?
you sound very angry.
you cover too many points.
I would say dont send it.
IF you decide to send something pick the 4 or 5 sentences that most make your point. Send just that.
All the best to you whatever you decide. I know its hard dealing with family.
They push buttons we dont even know we have!
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?.
Thats a good explanation Gio, thank you.
The satetments, philosophy, what have you, I find resonating the most with me at the moment are those of Bertrand Russell.
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.
