You should be grateful we have air conditioning at our large conventions, we have brothers and sisters meeting in the jungles under the hot sun with no protection and you complain, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

how can you be out in the service for the whole day and come home and tell your father and I you only got two hours in the service, what were you doing all day. you ought to be ashamed of yourself you could have come home and taken your mother shopping or helped her with the housework or cut the grass, yadda yadda yadda

you complain about a headache and your mother is in terrible pain most of the time, you get yourself up and get ready for the meeting.

you will so support saturday morning service, your a pioneer aren't you then set a good example.

blah blah, blah blah.

Two Witnesses Needed for Molestation?

by LovesDubs in

it just occurred to me, that if you need two witnesses to a molestation...doesnt god count as a witness?

hasnt he, the holy spirit been a witness for jesus?

then the jws stand that they need two witnesses and dont have two is a lie!!!

orangefatcat

Lets get the elders to subpoena God since they hold all the power and they are the ones who always need to have the second witness. !!

ofc.

What org rules were stupid to you?

by MARTINLEYSHON in

jw
friends

when i was in the truth i thought that the most ludicrous and petty ruling they ever introduced and still practiced is that congregation book study conductors were and are responsible for collecting every group members report.

surely every member ought to be responsible for his/her own actions.

at the beginning of the following month and certainly before the 5th i would always receive the stupid telephone call from the secretary are you aware that 3 publishers havent reported?

orangefatcat

disfelowshiping, stupid, dumb, idotic, lunatics who on earth ever made up this rule, it is beyond the realism of true christianity. imagine jesus doing it. never....

Today has been as rough day for me. I got up this morning hoping our van would pass the ontario emission tests for clean driving. We put 400.00 dollars to make sure it would pass and it didn't pass it failed and to beat that we are at our daughters home a couple of hours away from our home. We have been here since Friday to enjoy the long weekend and our son in law was doing the work on our van to save us money. otherwise the work would have cost us double. well now that the emissions test failed Marco and our daughter are at Canadian Tire for some more parts and we are hoping tomorrow to retry the test. Of course the money we used to repair the van was the money for our rent. So if it fails tomorrow, I think i will jump of a bridge.

But that is not all, this morning when I woke up I was feeling ill at ease and just plain not myself, and all this day and when I sat down at the computer I noticed the date was the third of Sept. Well i started crying and then my daughter (step) came over to me thinking I was crying about the van, well I told her it was 7 yrs ago today that my father past away. she was so kind and hugged me and I needed that. My dad was an elder to his dying day, and I was the last one to see him alive and then in death. So I was just needing to get that sadness off my chest.

Thanks for listenning.

ofc.

My Mom Won't Shun Me!

by voltaire in

jw
friends

i feel a little guilty about this, because i know that so many of you have lost contact with your families, but i thought you might find it interesting that my mother has told me, via my father, that she won't shun me even if i'm df (which is a very real possibility).

i'm not coming out unscathed (does anybody?

) since my marriage is set to end in the next couple of weeks, but i'm so grateful that i'll still have my mom.

orangefatcat

My mom is cold stone and so is the rest of my sisters and all their families. They have all turned to rocks.

How a religion that teaches love can make them become such cold chilling people is beyond the law of natural love. How can an individual disobey the law of natural love. I just don't understand. Well yes I can they are so brainwashed to believe that if you don't obey the rules of the governing bodies interpretation of scripture, your out on you ass. Mind you I would love to know what scripture they would found the word disfellowship in. Maybe they invent scriptures. I mean they make scriptures disappear.

I am very happy you have a mom who loves you so much that she is willing to obey the natural laws of love. Your one lucky son of a gun and I am jealous.

Quotes your lucky too, and I am not really jealous I was just kidding I am very happy for anyone who's family has more brains than you know who.

i've been enjoying scanning bits and pieces of ruth's old 'tower magazines.

many of us will have old copies of the literature lying around, so why not scan something that's particularly meaningful to you?

here's my offering to start the ball rolling.

I didn't know that Rodney King was in the WatchTower magazine!!

Just to say thank you...

on august 29, 2001, i stumbled upon a web site like no other i have ever found in cyberspace, and i have been hooked ever since.

the purpose of this thread is to say thank you to everybody for your help, advice, and support, for putting up w/ my craziness, and entertaining my fluff w/ your replies.

when i first posted here, with that 'relatives and relationships' thread, i was overwhelmed by the responses i got from people who really cared and wanted to help me.

Happy First Birthday and Cheers.
