The organization has changed, even though they don't like to admit it. A surprising number of kids participate in athletics, band, etc.Soem congregations are pretty hard line about it but most aren't.

It's amazing what you hear some of these guys say. They're the world's worst for ripping scriptures out of context and making some agenda driven application. They also very frequently say things that are not supported anywhere in the publications or that are contrary to published doctrine, of course no one ever calls them on it.

Why No Beards?
by undercover inas i have recently started to question everything i was taught, i started wondering about the grooming "laws".
one that never really made sense to me was that the brothers could not have beards.
where is that written?

When Rutherford took over some Brothers grew beards in protest, knowing his personal dislike of beards. Ever since, beards have been viewed as a sign of rebellion. Of course almost no one knows why it's a sign of rebellion. We do love our traditions.

I could put this allegation in front of people that I work with, all hard working, decent, technical sorts of people and every one of them would blow this off as some kind of nut case. Whoever instigated this public display did no service to the woman or the cause.
Whoever believes that lawyers won't sue when there aren't facts to support the lawsuit is kidding themselves. Happens all the time.

Shame On All of You
by DakotaRed inall week long, much has been done here that could rip silentlambs apart.
pat garza has faced ridicule and scorn, bill bowen is now also being drug about by his short hairs over his letters by all you arm chair attorney's who haven't contributed an iota of what he has or placed yourselves anywhere near harm's way as he has.
all i can say is i'm damned ashamed of all of you and i'm through with this shit!!!!!.

Man your attitude is not different than a lot of Witnesses, "You can't question the organizaiton." Same deal. There are serious issues of credibility here and if people want to talk about them, then this is the place to do it. If you don't like it that's your problem.
The accusation against Jarascz, the accusation about five GB members, the reference to 10 elders in Montana molesting someone in an assembly, all of that is sensational stuff. If you're going to be putting that stuff out in public then you can expect to be questioned on it. You want to suck up everything that is spouted as long as it's someting negative and sensational about the organization then you're demonstrating either gullibility or bigotry.

I think it's way beyond 'too seriously' more like nine feet tall and wearing a hair shirt.

Sorry folks, this is the same kind of stuff we heard about the 10 elders molesting some girl in a motel room in Montana. Bill needs to knock this stuff of because it makes him look like a lunatic. If he's not prepared to name names and post details then he needs to drop the sensationalized announcements. This is garbage.

What's with the media and the march
by Lady Lee inwhere are the reports.
what exactly happened when the media went into the doos of bethel.

Pork Chop
Well dude, I travel all the time and I haven't seen one bill board, or one television add.
If you think this falls into the same news worthy category as the simultaneous mass suicide of 900 people then your are delusional.
Evidently the Media agrees because the coverage is just not there.

WIRETAPPING
by UnDisfellowshipped ini have had some of strange and weird things happen (strange phone calls, and lots of other weird things, and certain "code words" used towards me), and i believe that there are certain freemasons (or other group), which has tried to use these subtle (and not-so-subtle) threats on me and my family.
(it may be connected to some of my relatives in another state, who may have abuse going on in their family, and we have had a lot of strange dealings with these relatives).. it seems to me, that i have also been wiretapped ("bugged").. certain things that i say in my house, have been repeated to me by other people outside the house.. it is very strange to experience this.. it seems that every single time i would go to the kingdom hall for a meeting, the speaker would repeat something i had said in the house earlier that day or the night before, it was freaky!.
i have seen a few other people post up on this website about being wiretapped by jw elders.. has anyone else experienced any of these things?

Grits, there have been extensive investigations into SRA accusations. Some have gone on for months, even years, and yet not one has come up with anything. Is that absolute proof, no but it sure does point in that direction.
The Media has been down this road before and it's unlikely they're going to bite on this one. My concern is that if anything, this allegation may be a step backward in the impact the march might have had.
Waiting, the reason people believe is because they want to believe. That's fairly obvious from the reactions that are currently seen on this board.
