I had another thought...they don't like themselves and have to take it out on someone else. The reason they don't like themselves is they know they are doing something they feel they shouldn't be doing. They are likely into more than just looking at "apostate" sites.

Is the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY the "faithful and discreet slave" of Matt. 24:45-47?
by Roger Kirkpatrick inthesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.

vanderhoven- this last post made me think of something to ask someone who is shunning : if Jesus would here, do you think he would speak to me? ( after all, as you mentioned, he spoke with Satan.) Given the right opportunity, I am going to pose the question.

Avoiding Temptation As a Young Elder
by TMS init was the summer of '72.
i was 24 but had been the presiding overseer or congregation servant of a small congregation in the county seat of an arkansas county for about 3 years.. my regular pioneer wife of nearly four years was big and pregnant, with our attempts at birth control unsuccessful.. one of my wife's several bible studies was with a young woman named brenda whom my wife had encountered in door to door work.. brenda had two young children she could barely handle and was married to a very countryfied arkie named henry who worked as a chicken catcher, one of the most difficult jobs at the local chicken plant.. brenda eventually revealed that she'd been raised as a jw, but was never baptized, having left home to marry henry at age 14. she spoke of her family in texas, mentioning her mother and two older sisters, all jws she said.. one morning, just before the meeting for field service, we noticed a small car in kingdom hall parking lot.
my wife and i were parked to one side of the hall in our aluminum nashua house trailer.. two young women got out of the car and soon joined us for the meeting for service, identifying themselves as brenda's sisters from texas.. the two girls, ages 17 and 20, were distractingly beautiful, with the eldest decked out like a magnificent southern belle including hat and heels, her high-end clothing accentuating her very obvious curves.. with no one else showing up for field service, it ended up just the four of us in the car group with the two texas girls in the back seat.. starting our time at a not-at-home, the 20 year old asked if she could accompany me to "hear my presentation.

DarleneGatus....unbelieving is evidently not the worst sin...because it is written a man who doesn't take care of his own is worse than an unbeliever. ( you are right to be disgusted with the shameful way pedophiles have been protected.)

another thought: that is the person they really are when no one is looking...just put on their happy face for others in the KH. I knew a man who was a "hateful devil" with his wife, but the friends at the hall thought he was wonderful...generous, and fun, helpful to anyone in need.

Jim, regarding the thermostat...put in a baby cam and see if she is changing it and just not realizing it...on another note
in 1887 a man was sent to prison for killing his wife. A "ghost" told her mother that he had killed her. She pestered the sherriff and they exhumed the body and found she had a broken neck . He was arrested and was tried and sent to prison. His Family never thought him guilty. He supposibly died in prison, but there is also a school of thought that another prisoner died, and he got sort of swapped out with a different identify. Google The Greenbrier Ghost or the book The Man Who Wanted Seven Wives if you are interested...I don't know if they still do, But the theatre group in Lewisburg WV made the story into a play. I watched the play. I read the news stories. I read the Book in which family was "misquoted" according to My Aunt who was interviewed. The man in question, "Trout" Shue was my grandfather's uncle.

other: they are taught by the GB to consider us filthy apostates...not deserving of life...so it is ok to be rude, even hostile. -

Are you driven by vengeance or Payback?
by Fisherman in“there is nothing more ironic and curious than a trapper being caught in his own trap or a plot backfiring.
ironic justice is the best revenge.” the inventor of the brazen bull, one if the most heinous torture devices in history was tricked to go inside of it and died of the torture he created.. probably one of the greatest movies ever made features revenge as its theme: once upon a time in the west.
sadly in this movie the main character doesn’t rely on ironic justice happening by god or chance.

my mate and I were in a motel room for the night...2 beds , a bedside table apart. We each took a bed. I wasn't quite asleep when I felt I was being cozied up to, you know, warm flesh against yours... That was ok, until I noted I could hear my mate breathing/snoring from the other bed. So I joined my mate!
