  William Flores: Spanish Cong. NYC
  elder who stepped down upon being found out that he was sexually molesting his neice for years. He disappeared into the sunset and of course the body of elders did nothing about it.

  Frenchy, whats the big deal? I see it like the Meagans' law. Im just doing my public service at letting others know about the pedophiles in the area. In case you don't remember it's the LAW.

  Regarding every other crime and unmoral act, you can disput that with the others.

  here i was thinking i was the only one with a dirty past.

  the elders didn't understand why i had a drinking problem.

  thought it must of been fornication and well, the sister i was studying with thought i had to have been my brother-in-law cause i was drinking with him.

  Welcome VA,

  I'm very sorry to hear about your past. It really disturbs me to keep hearing more and more of these cases surface.

  I have 2 questions for you: What led you to start going back to the meetings? and why do you still call it the "truth"?

  Hey Ladonna,

  I remember that in the parking lot of the District Conventions, there use to be "brothers" selling these bookcovers.

  They had a whole table and assortment of binders and covers for mags. and tracts, door to door slips and what not.

  And boy were they making $$. I used to be a "Captain" in the parking lot assignment and I used to see these bro's pulling "knots" of bills out of their pockets.

  Guess I'm in the wrong business!

  *** when asked why she is reading some publication during the meeting instead of paying rapt attention to her husband speaking from the platform, the c.o.

  's wife responds, "oh what the heck, i hear that talk over and over.".

  *** when brother prominent elder is asked why he keeps having business dealings with brothers in the congregation (he thus causes lots of problems that the boe has to keep wasting time on), he replies, "well, we all have to make a living.".

  I'v got to tell something this!

  2. friends

  i've posted several times about how i'm fed up with the witnesses but my wife won't budge.

  she's become a bit more tolerant lately, but mostly we get along better when we don't talk about anything substantive.

  i've been working up the nerve to tell the elders why i don't go out anymore.

  Volt,
  Noone can tell you what to do just give you our opinions.

  But I tell you man, when it come to women...I'll be DAMNED if Im giving up my Latin Queen..helllll noo!!

  You know theres nothing left of your wife ..its like when the Borg in star trek take over..thats it..if you hang around you'll be next...resistance is futil!

  Take advantage of whats going on. Don't live your life regretting not taking life by the horns. Damn that..if it's a mistake, you'll learn from it. But you'll never know until you give it a shot.

  It's true you know....All men must die...but few ever really LIVE!

  In a Circuit assembly after lunch some kid in the front of the hall had a helium ballon from Wendys' and accidently let it go.

  Everyone was looking up following the balloon until the C.O. who was giving the talk got upset (unaware of the balloon) and said:

  It be nice if everyone would pay attention instead of day dreaming. I mean what are you looking at?...are there angels coming down from heaven or something?..."

  And thats when someone yelled outloud what the fuss was about and then he went inot a little talk about how you cant bring these "foolish" things into Gods house.
  Retard.

  JW Leadership Is Evil

  by metatron in

  2. friends

  in response to people like sexyteen, i point out that most witnesses.

  are just naive, child-like people willing to believe most anything.

  their leadership tells them.. however, watchtower leadership is genuinely evil.. why?

  Thats Right Met, you tell 'em!

  Regarding point #1: Its like Ray Franz says in his book(CF) If a marraige is falling apart, would you hurry to make sure that the wedding ring is saved ? the ring being the symbol of marraige?

  Or would you try to save the marraige?

  So why not use the Symbol of life-blood to save the actual life?

  Kind of stupid not to, huh?

  Taliban prisoners in Cuba

  by Abaddon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does this trouble anyone?.

  it seems semantic tom-foolery to declare a war on terrorism, and then to say that prisoners of the war are not prisoners of war.. it also seems very suspect keeping them of proper usa soil, as where they are they are out of sight, mind, or appeal by civil-rights factions.. do not get me wrong.. i am not saying, "ah, poor ickle terrorists".. but in a war against terror, surely taking each and every opportunity to distance yourself from your enemies is the wisest and best course of action?.

  why do anything that is even remotely dodgy or underhand?.
