i thought of one that happened to me, i think i was 16 and regular pioneering at the time.
i was in fs with my friend, i think she had to be about 18, and we were in a van with older married sisters, my friend and i were the only single ones.
there were 6 of us in this van and my friend and i of course were forced to sit in the back (meaning we couldn't escape by jumping out of a moving van), anyway, the conversation turned to discussing molestation.. the two oldest sisters sitting in the front then started going into detail about how they had been molested, and it wasn't just "i was molested by..." no they went into detail.. i was shocked!
It never happened to me.
But I remember me and a pioneer brother knocking on a door quite early on a saturday. A girl/woman in her 20's opened the door. She had just a T-shirt on, otherwise naked. I don't remember WTF I said to her, the pioneer was so embarrased that he became silent. I think we did our best not to look at her "little bush".
But I don't think we said a word about it...no jokes...nothing.
the very first legal governing body of (jehovah's witnesses) bible students were seven persons which included pastor c.t.russell, his wife maria, and his controversial ward, rose ball.
five men and two women.
these seven persons were also the directors of the watchtower bible and tract society.
They could just recruite some 8-10 people from this board.
When we agree on a "top ten" list, it would be time for white smoke.
i think in the deeper recesses of their minds they know that soon they will be loosing this battle and that some video on youtube will go viral bringing them shame and exposure.. the way i see it, this battle is just starting and is going to get much worse in the future, they are multiplying the number of people willing to expose them by their cruel practice of disfellowshipping used as a form of information control.. people who are waking up to the governing body's deceptions are growing in numbers all the time, and what starts out as a trickle of people leaving can become a flood in time which seems very likely.
as the numbers become greater and greater the more worried they should be, and this is seen in their more merciless treatment of those who no longer beleive their crap, they are willing to do what ever it takes to keep the rank and file in darkness and under their control.
it all spells desparation to me.. .
If they really feared they should stop the field cirkus right now, and close the jw.org website!
I think they fear more public exposure of some old light and changes in doctrine.
my wife friend told her, the bible states, "the earth is the.
only place in this universe that god made for habitation".. have anyone read a scripture that states or indicate this???.
.
According to bible history the planet earth was created before the sun, the moon and all the stars. In that way the earth has a special role in the creation myth in genesis.
If I remember it thigt the sun was created after the green plants according to genesis. Maybe God didn't know about the photosyntesis!
i think freddy in this talk shows how delusional he is and was.
to know all this stuff and still feel that the organization has the truth gives truth a new meaning.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmkdwk5svxm.
may your faith be strengthed in god's earthly organization right up to the final end!.
No, I don't think so...in those days they believed thats jesus returned invisibly in 1874, and that 1799 was the end om the time of gentiles as far as I can remember.
It was not untill the beginning of the 1930's they changed that to 1914.
an elder came around this morning at 9am to ask if my husband wanted to come with him on a bible study.
my husband nipped from the bathroom to the bedroom in his undies to get dressed, while i talked to the elder!
the elder talked about how he just happened to think my husband might be free this morning, and just happened to get a call from someone wanting a bible study, and then he said to me, "why don't you come visit my house some time?
I have been inactive for more than 20 years. But lately I met an elder ......he seemed very scared and kept walking/running away from me! Am I really that dangerous?

Well...there is a lot of speculation about 2014..100 years after 1914. I am a bit surprized that the GB don't try to stop those speculations

It could be 1874, but never the less he started with lying.
