Truman,.
Very sorry to hear about the loss of your son.
While we cannot be there in person with you, I hope that you can gain some comfort from knowing that we are here for you
at times like these.

My son was murdered today
by truman ini have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

I can see a new job for some JW that will convince other Jws that their house might be laid out, even accidently, in a Feng Shui pattern and for a fee, they will come in and "re arrange" the furniture in the house so that it is anti-Feng Shui.
You know, so the demons do not feel at home.

Mag resize "Less is more, right?"
Also regarding news, there is a special talk this Sunday with the title "Is it later than you think?" and you can follow the outline of the talk as it was an Awake article from 1968, not sure of the month but written some 44 years ago!!!

What's the strangest thing you've heard someone seek counsel with the elders about?
by keyser soze inpersonally, i never went to the elders with anything(not voluntarily, anyway).
but a friend of mine once asked a couple of elders whether it would be acceptable for him and his wife to make a sex tape, for their own personal viewing.
needless to say, the idea was frowned upon..

You mean at the same time?
Just usually one at a time, like "I really enjoyed your talk"
When I was a kid I told a Elder that I enjoyed his talk and he asked " Really, what was it about?" I had that blank look on my face like, I don't remember.
But the later I thought "That was his job to make me remember, right?"

Judicial Committee Meetings Sexual Matters
by Celestial inanyone had three elders (judicial committee) question you on sex before marriage?.
case in point, being raised as one of jehovah's witnesses, i partied with peers that were witnesses by tradition, inherent faith.
at the age of eighteen (1992), i was conversing about the elders with a group of witnesses, and a girl who had been before a judicial committee chimed in and said, they ask questions that are none of their fucking business.

Has anyone ever decided to RECORD one of these confessionals? It would be wonderful for a "sister" that knows she is going to DA herself that would "set up" a JC to record just what questions they are asking about sexual info on that person, in this case the "sister" secret agent.
She could go in with the DA letter in hiding and then "play" them as if she had had some illicit affair with someone. Trying to get them to ask questions that are above and beyond the norm. Then after getting the goods on the 33, explain that this was all a hoax and then she hands them her DA letter.
Then let them know later that she has recorded the conversation and it is being played on youtube etc,..
Do you think that there would be a chance that anyone could pull this off?

C.O. Is coming this week
by Freeof1914 inso i had the elders come to my house about two months at the time i told my wife and family that i was having doubts.
they came by i explained my position and they basically told me i needed to be more humble and just tow the line like many others have before me.
well i have not gone preaching or to any meeting for two months after that and did not recieve any phone call from the elders, which was fine by me .

alanv,.. exactly!
And if the 144,000 are needed now, or in the near future to help rule the Earth why was this not set up back in Adams and Eves day?
Were they lacking the extra "brain trust" back then?
