Any information about a special talk on Marriage in December 2024

by insearchoftruth in

two folks from the local kh visited the house yesterday looking for my wife who is an on again off again baptized jw.

wife was not available so they asked me to tell her about a special talk on marriage next week.

any outlines available for this ‘special talk’ or could this potentially be a local issue?.

Considering the latest noo lite on don't ask don't tell on bedroom activities there will be counsel on not denying the marital due, and to go ahead and use extra lube.

follower of Eric Wilson, abusive to single women covered by paying sums of money to support Beroean Pickets tourism trips.

by buzkid in

susanne eigenheer is an ex-jw and suffered religious abuse in eric wilson's group.

her personal statement and experiences within the beroean pickets study groups was one of betrayal where she was taken advantage of financially.

in one text conversation, wendy wiens disfellowshiped susanne and demanded an apology from her.

What I see is that Eric asks for more and more money.

Beroean Pickets- please offer encouragement

by Lightgrowsbrighter in

jw
friends

for many who have left jw.org, there is still a spiritual need and faith in the bible.

beroean pickets is one group/website where serious bible research and commentary, weekly critical reviews of wt studies, as well expose's of flawed wt opinion/doctrine- all backed by the bible- can be considered.

this vast amount of work and research is all done by just a small group of our volunteer brothers and sisters.

E-watchman seems just as sure of his own interpretations being Da Troof and nothing but.

Eric Wilson changes his truth as he pleases just like the Gibbering Body.

Eric has now been caught saying yay-hoe-VÁ like in a weird Nehemia Gordon way, which is so very strewn about this way and that with every wind of change.

BTW Nehemia is wrong on so many counts, from the pronunciation of the Vav in early Hebrew to the existence of nikkud pointing' s history.

by slimboyfat in

i don’t know a lot about james penton but i think he deserves a better thread than the one currently on offer.

james penton, who died recently, grew up in a jw family in canada and served as an elder.

unusually for a jw, he studied liberal arts at university and became a history professor.

Jim's Obituary Notice

Peacefully, in the Palliative Care Unit of the Brantford General Hospital, with his wife, Beth and granddaughter, Rea by his side passed from this life on November 4, 2024. Jim was in his 93rd year. He was preceded in death by his parents, Levis Bosworth Penton and Ida Emily Penton, his brother, Edwin, his late wife, Marilyn and infant son, Philip André. He is survived by his wife, Beth, his children, David, John (Shona) and Anne (Bob) and foster daughter Linda (Willie). He is also survived by eight grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.

Born in Saskatchewan, Jim lived an extraordinary life as a professor of history and religious studies. Jim was the only surviving member of the original Department of History at the University of Lethbridge. Fluent in Spanish, he first taught in Puerto Rico, followed by universities in the states of Upper Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa, as well as in Calgary. Jim was an amazing man and an example of Christian living, always an advocate for the downtrodden and abused. He and his first wife, Marilyn, took a number of people into their home when there was someone in crisis who needed their nurturing, be it family or stranger.

Jim actively researched and wrote up until the time of his passing. His most recent efforts were devoted to a book on religious persecution in Canada, with a focus on the history of indigenous people in Canada. This work will be published posthumously. In recent years Jim founded Hart Publishers Inc. In collaboration with his close friends Rud Persson and Eric Wilson, Jim oversaw the publication of important works on the history of Jehovah’s Witnesses. During his academic career, Jim authored and published several important books through University of Toronto Press. He was known as an excellent teacher at the University of Lethbridge, and continued to give very popular lectures and courses at the Burlington Seniors Centre after retirement.

On the personal side, Jim loved gardening. Each spring and summer Jim and wife Beth lovingly tended the raised garden beds in their back yard. He was also an animal lover, and took particular joy in making sure the bird feeder in the back yard was kept full.

Jim was very proud of his Métis heritage through his maternal grandmother Florestine Gariépy. As a young man, Jim relocated from his birth province of Saskatchewan to sunny Arizona for health reasons. There his exposure to Mexican food, language and music fostered a life-long love of Latin American culture. In Tucson he met and married Marilyn Kling, his late first wife and mother of his children. Jim and Marilyn were together until her death.

Jim found great happiness late in life with his wife Beth. They provided each other with love and support and a shared commitment to Christian values. Their union brought great joy to family on both sides.

Friends will be welcomed at the Dwayne D. Budgell Funeral Home, 1105 Rest Acres Road, Paris, Ontario on Friday, November 15 from 7 - 9 p.m. A Celebration of Life service will be held at St. James Anglican Church, 8 Burwell St, Paris, Ontario on Saturday, November 16, 2024 at 11 a.m. Jim's service will be live streamed starting at 10:50 a.m. Cremation has already taken place as per Jim’s wishes. In lieu of flowers, donations to St James Anglican Church, Paris would be appreciated by the family.
