I thought to add more to the story of the elder/pioneer who dumped the Alzheimer wife. He died in good standing with the congregation. The elder's meeting resulted in him making an effort to "court" the woman. ( in the meantime he had picked out his next wife-even inviting her on a date out of town.) When he died, he left the home to one of his sons. An Elder and a man who had sold out to go and do branch construction in other countries. When the elder/pioneer died, the woman who had Alzheimer's and her daughter went to the property to retrieve some of the woman's belongings. The son/elder and also a brother-in-law/circuit overseer wouldn't let the woman have her things. ( at one point the Elder/pioneer had been in the hospital and told a local elder to have the woman get her stuff from the home because she wasn't allowed back in-and the toothless lions saw nothing wrong with this. )

skin--I would change the word if I knew how to edit it for the sake of other parts of the world. Anyway the context makes clear the meaning.

As a JW, did you ever know of totally unchristian behavior ( boners) by some "fine" witnesses? I know of more than my fair share and will reveal some. An elder/pioneer kicked his elderly wife who had Alzheimer's out. He took her to a town where her son who was at work lived and dumped her in his yard. He found her wondering around in the yard-lost and perplexed. The elder/pioneer remained in good standing giving parts and prayers even though the other elders knew about it. After it was noted, nothing was being done about the heinous way the man treated his wife, her children did get a meeting with the elders, but the local congregation always thought the man upstanding. Then there was a case where a "brother" marries a "sister" and decides he made a mistake. He takes everything except her clothing ( including groceries ) from the apartment and either hides them in storage or sells in a yard sell. He turns off the heat in the apartment and she had to leave the apt. After which, he changed the locks and eventually moved back in. His status in the congregation never changed. He never gave a dime of support to the wife, but was known to take groups of "friends" out to lunch after meetings. He even gave a car to a pioneer sister who needed one. He would sit with his gay Bible study at the Hall. Years later the "brother" dies. He had never divorced the sister but kept in contact with her, even planning to "fix" the marriage as best he could. His own Family of JW sisters, kept all of value of his belongings even though the "brother" wanted his wife to have some of it. They wrote up a will and had him sign it while in hospital a day or two before he died, leaving nothing to the wife-which surprisingly he claimed to love. The same fine witness family also wrote up and filed a fraudulent probate. I came to know of this because the wife bought the records from the courthouse of the probate and copy of the will which was falsely executed. These Fine JW remained in good standing even though the elders of their congregations were made aware of the fraud and thief. One more: there was the case of where local brothers had it in for a member of the congregation and they got an elder from another congregation to communicate with the member they were trying to get rid of. He was to ask questions to get the member to speak against them ( elder body ) so they could weaponize the conversation against the member. This tactic actually happened to more than just one member in that congregation. ( how's this for "love among yourselves")

Beth Sarim "nobody has ever become a JW or adopted their beliers by reading a Bible" ....so true...it is studying their publications and meetings of group think. That is why the filters need removed...For ex...the WT filter says that the new covenant is for the 144000, so we don't even see what Matt 26:28 says, that it is for the forgiveness of sins for the MANY. I neve got the sense of that scripture until within the past year...It's like I never ever read it.

Chance or intelligent design?
by ExBethelitenowPIMA incofty could you answer how the single cell came about by chance?.
i know the argument for complexity in nature says natural selection over billions of years but this could not explain the complexity of the single cell the building blocks of life?.

the whole thing is circular in a sense...to me, nothing really happens without a design to start with. I can throw all the findings ( which themselves have been designed ) onto a worktable, and I could mix them up every day for years and they would never evolve into what I hope to manufacture from the findings. I have designed what I want and I have to put it together from the findings others designed and manufactured. Have any of you experienced otherwise? I have to go along with the scripture Roman 1: 20 For his invisible qualities ae clearly seen from the world's creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable. ( it then gets circular because people say, "where did God come from?" I have no answer, but the fact that all else and we are here, then so must the creator be...IMHO

I heard a short news item on NPR a few minutes ago...no details. So sad...but it's a wonder we don't hear more such things...remember the murder/suicide/bombing on Xmas...The Bible says, by their fruits you will know them...look as JW fruitage...They will tell you it is love among yourselves, but the hate has driven some to horrid crimes.

the JW lie about what the real story with the passing of the emblems...they say it is a legal means for spiritual Israel to rule with Jesus... The New Covenant is forgiveness of sins for the many. I could never sit through that pack of lies again now that I am awake to the agenda. Just read the Bible without the WT filters. If you go and believe that Jesus died for your sins , then by all means partake, and let the tongues wag.
