  'and you should see what they spend on relief' was her hissed reply.

  My empathy goes out to anyone with a spouse so utterly dug in. So I have a few days with her away but when she returns will be tired out and as cranky as.

  ...happy people... indeed.

  Given the 'performance' of elders at the CARC they were utterly unprepared and had not read victim statements it is a very good guess that the matter of abuse has never been raised.

  What’s The Worst Thing You Have Heard About A JW?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there was a guy that became an elder and he was a father of 8 children including 4 or 5 girls.

  he was a little bit on the self righteous side and would counsel people a lot, especially families about how they could be better witnesses.

  one day his wife dropped a bombshell!!!

  Why Aren`t Active JW`s concerned about WT/JW`s /GB`s ,Revisions of their Own Early History Of C.T.Russell ?

  i was just thinking about a couple of jw`s who came to my door a few weeks ago and they had no idea who charles taze russell was one woman was in her 40`s and the other was in her late 20`s if i`m any judge of female ages.. and neither of them had any idea of the religions early history or what they taught and what they believed in back then.. and one of the main reasons for that i believe is because the wt?jw religion continually revise their past history according to whatever the current beliefs are held.. if you compare what was believed and taught back in the 1880`s with what is believed and taught today you would find no comparison.. it has completely changed ,sometimes in a subtle way,but no the less changed.. the excuse of "the light is getting brighter and brighter as the day draws near " doesn`t cut it when you consider they stick to the i.b.s.a.

  not the jehovah`s witnesses , were chosen as approved by jesus christ as the "faithful and discreet slave class" in 1919 for what they believed and taught back then as the i.b.s.a.

  and not the jehovah`s witnesses.. and now the jehovah`s witnesses today do not believe what the international bible students association taught and believed back then in 1919... so how could jehovah`s witnesses today be approved by jehovah / christ jesus as the faithful and discreet slave class when they reject what was approved in 1919 ?

  So the light gets brighter indicates they have been living in darkness and now they are as a deer in the headlights. Neither are good.

  I heard and I stress heard, that the gb were discussing whether to make BT a 'conscience' issue when the planes flew into the buildings on that fateful day and they said it was a sign (!) from Jehovah that a conscience issue was not on.

  District convention to be held in assembly hall instead of stadium

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last night they announced that this summers district convention will be held at an assembly hall.. this is the first time i've seen this happen.

  there are a couple of congregations in the same hall here and they aren't going to the same ones.

  they are having multiple dates.. the hall they are going to use can only hold 1500 people max.. just wondering if maybe they just couldnt get anything bigger this year or if the falling numbers are playing a part in this decision.
