Do you think that some Ex-Jw's
by kenpodragon in
1. jw
2. friends
do you think that some ex-jw's still hold to the type of thinking of active jw's.

in that they like to argue every single point out to the point that the other side does not even care anymore, and wonders why anyone even took it that far.

i am not quoting any exact example, but i have been on enough sites to know that there always seems to be a few who like to do this on all sites.

discrimination if your fathers not an elder
by smiler in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
its sad to think that if you are in the 'truth' that discrimination is so blatant, this works in your favour if you happen to be male and have the 'privalage' of being an elder.

as this will mean that as an elder he will probably be aware of any persons attending the kh who have had allegations made against them or convicted of child abuse.

if the 'privalaged' elder has children of his own then he is in a better position to protect his children from abuse or contact with the abuser.

anyone from martha's vineyard congregation?

that's pretty much where it all began with me and the "truth" , would love to chat regarding people, places and things from times past.
