Well, I'm sure NOW that you know it to be a load of B.S.
Sorry you had to waste your time but I'm sure it was an eye opener.

yo peoples.. .
i attended the mtschool at the tender age of 23 in the uk.
it was the thing for ambitious young (theocratic) men apparently.
my wife was told a brother was going to be disfellowshiped, "how do you know this is going to happen?
" sister so-so said "he was not repentant or humble to the brother's kindness.
" instead of engaging into a heated debate, she knew who the leak was, so-so's husband.
Good morning guys!!! B.A. Has a good point about confessing to SOME elders in the body. When I was an elder there were 4 elders whose wives were regular pioneers ( ELDERETTES) as they are called and they make it their aim to manipulate their husbands to tell them juicy tid-bits.
My wife,now my ex would offer up all kinds kinky sex she otherwise would'nt do to get me to tell her confidential matters about judicial committee findings.
Very tempting but, my conscience wouldn't allow me, and of course no kinky sex.
Out of my BOE you better not trust them to keep your secrets. With the exception of another elder you could torture him and he wouldn't give up anything confidential, his wife would get soooo pissed. That brother I would trust with my life.
So here is the deal. If you must confess your sins confess to Jehovah not to any man. For only God can forgive.

one of the paradoxes of history is that some of the worst crimes against humanityequaled only by 20th-century concentration campswere committed by dominican or franciscan friars belonging to two preaching orders purported to be dedicated to preaching christs message of love.. it is difficult to understand how a church that subscribes to the inspired statement, all who desire to live a godly life in christ jesus will be persecuted, could itself become a persecutor [or troublemaker].
(2 timothy 3:12, revised standard version, catholic edition) how was it possible?.

in case you didn't notice, there are a couple of illustrations of the famous freemason john coustos being tortured in the dvd faith in action.
one picture has him tied to a torture wheel and the other illustration shows him being tortured by an arm-stretchting torture device.... no.... i'm not saying that the freemasons are taking over the world... so please don't get excited.... by the way, the dvd also mentions john calvin, the freemason who invented the deity "great architect of the universe" (also used by jws)....

that's right it should be "1970s"(without the apostrophe) not "1970's"..
so the oldest man in the world, a japanese, has just celebrated his 115 birthday.. i was reading the other day that life expectancy in my country is around 78.2 today,.
that half the people born since 2000 are expected to see 100 years old, and that.
the first person that will live to 150 years old, is already alive.. so how long would you like to live?.
i had a conversation on the phone today with two different elders today.
i dont want to post the topic that we discussed on here at this time.
