we hear a story regarding the life of thomas and emma.
she states that "when thomas and i first learnt that i was pregnant, we were both really shocked" she doesn't explain why they were both really shocked but it seems an odd reaction unless they were using the safest contraception invented or hadn't been told about the bird and the bees.two experiences that touched the heart of gb sanderson were as follows -.
in russia a jw was jailed for 6 months, the jailers did everything to try to undermine his faith, which included violence.

Didn't anyone teach them the 'birds and the bees'? What a mad statement.
Strange comments. Why can't pregnancy come as a shock to couples? There are many topics on this forum of members announcing that they are pregnant and were shocked when they got to know about it.
me and my brother recently got into a discussion about the 1,000 reign.
i told him that even after armageddon, you know that you still have to work for your salvation??
he says yes, that he is prepared to work for jehovah (wth), and that it will be a wonderful time.
you know that you still have to work for your salvation??
In JW world, going to paradise is like getting a well-paying job in Google or Microsoft. Even though you work hard your way to get that job, you still need to work harder to retain your job and keep yourself from being kicked out.
i had the meeting yesterday and there it was announced that there will be a new law passed in spain regarding personal data.
that law makes it compulsory for the wt spanish branch to collect a signed permission from the publishers to keep and utilize personal data.
no choice was given to us, we were just told to make sure we hand in our signed permissions before may 18th.
Sorry, didn't quite get the point here.
Do we have any evidence where WT has previously used personal data for commercial profit or for illegal purposes?
If the person wishes to become a publisher or get baptized or become a pioneer, etc, the WT is fair in collecting and maintaining personal data from them. How can a person work for the WT without giving any of his details to them?
If a person who has past of child abuse cases on him asks the BOE to delete his personal info, is the WT obligated to delete all his previous record of child abuse cases, including all his files and letters?
are all the gb members past and present, part of skulls and bones and other masonic secret societies?
we know the first few top brass were, like br rutherford and br russel.. they all have several expensive watches.
like literally more than one for everyday of the week, rolex and omega, where did they come from?
"That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence" - Christopher Hitchens
we urgently need to offer "resistance strategy" help to pimos who are likely to be harassed by elders seeking their consent for wtbt$ to leech their data.
what questions could pimos ask elders, that elders would be unable to answer?
(thus buying time, because elder would need to "check with branch").
"It's not something I'd want to do at this time, but if I change my mind, I'll get back to you."
This line needs to be told before getting baptized as a JW.
i just saw zeb's ("i'm worldly") video entitled: "black mass mayhem" a few minutes ago.
no doubt this was what he experienced at a memorial he attended last night.

Who says that they don't have that right?
No one. I made the comment in view of some posters who mentioned that the gate crasher was intimidated by the elders and should press assault charges against them.

Interrupting or gate crashing any event or gathering is seen as a nuisance no matter how right the person is.
Jesus overthrew the tables in the temple, and the anger of the Pharisees got him killed in less than 3 years.
I remember a poster named Richard Oliver who was seen as a nuisance and got banned from this forum. This forum has its own rules and if you don't follow the rules, you get kicked out.
No matter how right you feel you are about a matter, the men at the Kingdom hall have the complete right to throw you out of the KH if they feel you are an annoyance and a threat.
i have to make a token appearance at the k.h.
once a month or so and this week went to a different hall.
and believe me they are all still totally oblivious to all the negative news about the pedophiles and shunning that have come under scrutiny by the media and other governments.
Many posters over here have been expecting a mass exodus. JW's wait for the end of the world, while ex-Jw's wait for the end of the JW.s. Both of which are not going to happen.
Look at the following threads from 9-10 years ago which discussed it:

what can i do when elders want to poke their nose in?.
they want to have another chat with me and my wife, but we dont want to, it just gets us down..
What can I do when Elders want to poke their nose in?
I know that sad. But you gave them the authority to poke their nose in when you got baptized.
it appears that the borg has some financial issues and i would think they are related to the hush money being paid out for the child molestation lawsuits to protect the guilty cult members and the fine untarnished reputation of the jdubs.. we have seen how much the borg refers to the hebrew scriptures for their guiding principles whenever it suits the borg's needs.
tithing certainly is laced throughout the old testament.
under the mosaic law, there were three tithes.
The topic was discussed 10 years ago:
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/165457/would-they-ever-attempt-introduce-tithing
And we will discuss it 10 years from now. Let's see when it happens.
