According to that news report "police are appealing for witnesses"
A Murder at a Kingdom Hall and, there`s No Witnesses?!..
i remember when i was in as a teenager, some time around 2006, samuel herd of the governing body came to dedicate our newly built hall.
i remember bumping into him accidentally and a brother pulled me aside and half jokingly and half seriously telling me that i should be more careful around jehovah's anointed ones.
it was quite comical to say the least.
What examples of JW's putting men on a pedestal have you seen?
WatchTower Gods Have Their Own TV Show!
there is an elder currently still serving in my old congregation that is retired air force and from what i have heard, still gladly and discreetly cashes his monthly pension.
granted, he did "earn" it, but i always felt it was rather odd to supposedly be anti-government but yet still benefit from government money.
would the society consider this a conscience matter?
An Elder/retired service member cashing their military pension??
Regardless of how crazy you may be..

i have been out for nearly 40 years now - baptized at 14 (although not to the org), but faded away.

aside from the obvious power they wield, what's is in it for the gb?

Will there ever be an apology from GB for going beyond what's written ?

i left the religion back in the early 2000's, tell you the truth it's been so long now i've been out i don't remember exactly when i left.
i definitely used this site a lot when i first left and it was a great asset.
when i left i somehow managed to get my parents to come with me.
They keep trying to sell me this story that everything is different now, that I wouldn't recognize the religion if I came back
JEHOVAH`S WITNESSES...
pacifismˈpasɪfɪz(ə)mnoun: pacifismthe belief that war and violence are unjustifiable and that all disputes should be settled by peaceful means.. .
one thing that always irked me as a witness was their pacifism.
i totally agree that non violence is a wonderful way to live, but at the same time whenever i'd read or watch something about nazi germany i always thought being a pacifist in that environment wouldn't work.
JWs and Pacifism
Pacifists that support a worldwide genocide?
hi folks, tight pants twinkle toes here - my first post.
i am the husband of the new poster finally left.
we both recently left, my wife after 43 years and 46 years for me.
What are the chances of someone from the outside world joining the JW`s, in the information age?..Practically Zero.
People trying to get out of the WBT$/JW Cult, are the ones that need the help.
too much crap to keep track of, but a few low lights of day one of the regional convention stuck out.
in no particular time sequence here is some of what i managed to hold down.. tight pants yapped on in the opening part about a three part theme to conventions.
part 1 was in 2016, part 2 is this year, and part 3 is in the works for 2018. i guess the big a isn't coming for a couple more years, at least.. then it was really stressed that all good dubs must always be prepared to "witness" by carrying jay double you, dot org calling cards, and of course wear your id card for the convention at all times, and all places.. next was the strong statement that the purpose of the carts/trolleys is not to place literature, it is to direct people of the public to "our" web site!

It was obvious from the get-go.
The carts are to further isolate JW`s from the rest of the world.
You`re in a public place advertising the WBT$, but you`re not supposed to engage anyone?
Who`s going to the WBT$ website?........JW`s!
Not the people sick of JW`s, knocking on their door..
i'm not real sure if it's 50/50 but i know trump has a lot of key advisers that live for the war machine, and what's the good of weapons that never get used.
kimmy seems hell bent on a fireworks display..
Considering how naive Trump is about Consequences.
AND...
Who the person is, who talked to him last about a Big Decision...
Everything could be fine or, shit could hit the fan..

It`s a Coin Toss...
