  As far as I know, one isn't disfellowshipped for dating a "worldly man." More to the story than is presented.

  Announcement of Elijah's Coming

  by ElijahisMe in

  it is with profound humility and reverence that i share a message of great significance.

  in the year 2001, my son and i witnessed the birth of the kingdom of god, experiencing spiritual battles that affirm our divine calling.

  as prophesied in the scriptures, my son is the elijah to come, the forerunner to jesus' second coming.. living in the wilderness by his own choosing, my son embodies the spirit and mission of elijah, preparing the way for the lord.

  Careful, I was going to ask that, but didn't because I thought it might hurt his feelings. But since you asked him, he's probably just off his meds. His brother might be Napoleon.

  Fatboi isn't the first x-Witness to crash and burn. But he's one of the most dramatic. Mom had a file on someone from Vancouver B. C. who suffered a similar fate, but back in the per-internet days. He sent out printed letters and sought to have the Society banned in Canada.

  Leaving the Watchtower does not mean one must leave good sense and morals. When that happens it's like a bounce back effect. I mean, they go from one extreme (the Watchtower) to another (morals, beliefs, etc.)

  Probably none of what I've written above makes a bit of sense. I need another coffee.

  Watching Lloyd deteriorate is fascinating. This would make an interesting basis for a dissertation. But, thankfully, I'm a historian and not a psychologist.

  U.K to remove time limit for Abuse Cases.

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  at present the u.k has a preposterous rule that cases of csa can only be brought within three years of the victim turning 18.. this time limit meant that many cases did not go to court, as the poor victims did not feel able to talk about their ordeals at that age.

  the time limit of 3 years will be removed, at last, as was recommended by the independent inquiry in to csa back in 2022.. kim harrison, president of the association of personal injury lawyers, said the three-year deadline was "wholly inappropriate".. "it will now be the burden of defendants to prove that the passage of time has created an unfair trial, rather than on the victim or survivor to prove a fair trial is possible," she said.. j.w.

  paedophiles will now be brought to justice.

  Unlimited time is a great idea. Even if it makes Watchtower lawyers sweat.

  My only concern is conflating the actions of clergy with those of congregants. The media does not say a Baptist father abused his daughter and has been sentenced. The media should focus on Elders and other appointed individuals.
