Knock knock."Who's there? Two elders!!
by Darkknight757 inso today was a cold and snowy day in my neck of the woods and the wife and i were just chilling around the house waiting to go to the church tonight for a candle lighting service when lo and behold we get a knock on the door.
yup, 2 elders from my old hall.
i figured they were fishing for some time so i invited them in and gave them some coffee and we talked about everything that happened and why we walk away from the jw's.

"It is the victims right to approach authorities" The weak excuse used by the society
by stuckinarut2 inwe have seen that the society falls back on the line "it is the victims right to approach the authorities" during all the abuse claims.. they use this excuse to try and defend the passive lack of action in failing to report suspected cases of abuse.. a comparison came to mind:.
if we came across a person lying in the street who says they were hit by a car, would we say "it is your absolute right to call the paramedics and police"?.
or would we take the initiative and call those authorities ourselves to help the person?.

It's actually a responsibility, not a right

Sheeplike?? A Christian Requirement or WT Controlling mechanism?
by BluesBrother inwhen we were practising witnesses we heard a lot about the need to be "sheeplike" , having a sheeplike attitude and personality .
a typical comment might be :.
"lasting peace & happiness just ahead" 2009 p 30.

"The Silence of the Lambs" comes to mind. A psychopathic tendency of a psychiatrist (mental health/control).... hmmmm -

Sex & Divorce
by IMHO in1. you can't have sex until your married.. 2. you're not married until you've gone through a legal ceremony.. 3. you get 'unscriptually' (although legally) divorced therefore not 'free' to remarry'.
4. can you still 'scriptually' have sex with your former spouse?.

They do say no, giving the reasoning that that 'benefit' comes from a loving relationship that is a gift from God, intertwined with a relationship with him (Q from R many years ago). But it's such a grey area, as I put this scenario forward myself. Bit 'chicken-and-egg'. But IMHO you CAN still have sex (assuming, of course, that you're both still on speaking terms/friends), because Jah's law is higher than that of the land, and he says you're still married until/unless one of the parties commits adultery. But you can't have it both ways.

Bullet point one re study with kids: what happens if the second person sitting in is also a paedo? Legal certification should not be a problem; it's like being pulled over by the Police - if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about. They're just doing their job, protecting society (not THE SOCIETY)

IBSA (Watchtower UK) property portfolio for sale
by betterdaze inbehold: ibsaproperty.com“the extensive ibsa property portfolio in north london is now being brought to the market.”ibsa moved to the leafy london suburbs of mill hill in the late 1950’s.
since then, expansion has required the acquisition of further properties in the immediate area, and in some cases further beyond.
in recent years, relocation to a single site which would offer greater economy of operation became more than a matter of interest, and in 2014 a suitable site in chelmsford, essex was purchased.

Maybe it's time for all those who voluntarily have me their time, money and energy (including loss of earnings) renovating these properties (along with Kingdom Hall et al) to 'invoice' the Society for this, given the profits that have been made from it. "You received free, give free"

Quite simply, the Bible says that "Love never fails" (1 Corinthians 13:8). Remind her of this
