i am incredibly disturbed.
many of the jws i'm still friends with on facebook are incredibly excited that trump won the american presidential race, posting, "yay!
i'm so happy!
"The sun came up! The end is near!"
"The sun went down! The end is REALLY near now!"
"I woke up with a gut filled with gas! The end is really, really near now!"
"The Watchtower told us to stay alert as 2034 approaches! Now the end is really, really, really near!"
"The Watchtower said to stop saying 'The end is near.' Armageddon must be right around the corner!"
i was baptized in 1981 and i think the questions i was asked at the time are different from the ones they use now.. also, if they are different, when was the change made?.
thanks.
1. Do you like figs?
2. Are you afraid of girls?
I'm glad to participate in this great information exchange!
there is not much to be analyzed.
in a cult enviromment the leader will always look up for himself.
he would never hesitate to break every rule to save his own skin.
They are assured of life in heaven. Let them go for it.
the reason i ask this is because we heard reports that greenlees was kicked out of bethel because he was one and then we heard reports that another one, jaracz i believe was one all though it sounds kind of iffy to me.. 2 out of i don't how many total gb seems kind of high so i'm thinking that perhaps the percentage is quite higher as this would explain to a degree why the gb have written in clauses to keep the organization from reporting them to authorities.. it is true that part of the reason they remain silent to authorities is because of the reproach it brings to their precious corporation but i think that is only a small part of the reason and perhaps there might be a bigger reason maybe quite a few have been over powered by their darker side and have engaged in this behavior but because of denial and delusion they will not confess and willingly encourage cover ups.. just speculation i know but i'm starting to think that there is a very dark side to all of these guys hidden by their persona(jungian) that is making them stoop so low as to implement these very bad policies..
flamegrilled said, "Potentially 0%."
If ONE of these guys was guilty, your statement fails.
Your statement fails because Greenlees and his roomie Chitty (yes, Jah's Magic Spirit works for holiness) were expelled from Bethel for their behavior.
Add the accusations against Jaracz and you have, uh... three.
with the admission of the governing body that they are neither inspired nor infallible , i am curious to know how many of you people from all around the world know of somebody ,a relative or friend , who lost their life because of following the dictates of a religion that now says they are neither inspired nor infallible.,that they now admit they make mistakes.. how many people have needlesly died having followed the jehovahs witness religions policys regarding not getting your child vaccinated against diseases ,which was the case years ago, not having organ transplants as that was considered cannilbalismm years ago ,and since the mid 1940`s the ban on jehovahs witnesses having blood transfusions.. yet somehow today you can have fractions of blood donated by non jw`s who are designated as people to be destroyed at armageddon because they follow satans system of things,.
blood that is donated by these people ,stored in a laboratory , and processed into fractions by laboratory staff and given to jehovahs witnesses with their consent.with no consequences to them for doing so.. blood is not poured out on the ground and not used for any purpose as their bible the nwt dictates.or any other bible for that matter..
When you say "
That's ALL OF THEM, isn't it?
i don't know if this will be of any use to our cousins from across the pond, but the principal of a uk school or college is generally referred to as simply "the head".. .
That is WAY better than a Baked Goods Sale! Ought to get a spectacular response!
i just went to a pre screening of this movie about an adventist guy who didn't want to kill but joined the army as a medic on the front line.
desmond doss saved 75 men in one operation singlehanded on the island of okinawa where desmond worked lowering men down a 400ft cliff to safety.. i thought this may be of interest to jws because of the pacifist stand they also have.. the movie comes out on the 4 th november..
This event is also discussed in the EXCELLENT recent book, "Killing The Rising Sun," which is a chronicle of the entire Japan/USA Pacific campaign of WWII.
Highly recommended!
IF this were true, imagine the divisions it would lead to within the congregation!
For that reason, I hope they do it!

Potentially, 100%.
how many witnesses are aware that technically, according to watchtower policy, they can if they wish too...associate with dissociated and disfellowshipped relatives.
for all those who are dissociated or disfellowshipped, please share this with your relatives who are currently shunning you.
there is nothing the elders can do as long as they are not discussing spiritual matters.
JW.ORG is obfuscating the matter.
Sure, you can quit the JWs, and when you do you will be subjected to the loving provision called "shunning."
