This is absolutely ridiculous!! I can't believe an elder body approving a 9 year old for baptism. How long has he been an unbaptized publisher? A month or two?

Sensational news in my Cong!
by Zico ini've just found out something that's going to be a massive thing in my congregation when it gets out.
it all starts with a former jw, who faded away probably about a decade ago, and then moved away, came out as a homosexual a few years ago.
he was never baptised, and he left so long ago, he never got chased up or disfellowshipped.

I have real empathy for anyone who is trying to "tow the line" between losing family and friends and living his/her life. I have a feeling the "double lifers" in this organization are a VERY large number.

Saying I love you foreign languages
by BlackSwan of Memphis inhey all, i could really use some help.. i am looking for the proper way a parent might say to their child i love you in these languages.. spanish, french, italian.
i am definitely interested in other languages, gaelic, arabic, russian etc.
but many languages involved alphabet characters i am not familiar with.. i do know that there are online translators, babelfish etc.but i have found out the hard way, those are really not reliable, and i need to know as specifically as possible.. i am finding that unlike the english language, there might be one way to say i love you in a romantic manner and a way to say i love you in friendly, non romantic manner.

Blood fractions insert covered in tonight's service meeting
by becca1 infor those still "in", how did this part go over in your congregation?
we actually had a brother raise his hand and comment that he could not explain to a doctor why we allow fractions and obey the command of levitucus to pour blood out on the ground.
i wonder how many others felt the same but did not have the never to comment openly?

Becca- The one who had the part tonite went overtime, we ended the meeting at9:25!!! My dad, the PO was livid! One of the old timers, elder too (80 yrs old, third generation) said after the meeting to me, "this is all nonsense, I'm from the old school, NO blood means NO blood." I said, "I believe life is a gift from God that should be cherished and appreciated which we show by guarding it with the utmost care." He said, "I can see your point" in a way that implied he thought I was being too shallow in my thinking. LIttle does he know that I am of the belief that since Christ gave his blood for our salvation, why shouldn't we give blood or recieve blood to save our own or our loved one's life? The Bible's prohibition of blood has NOTHING to do with transfusions. There is too much twisted reasoning, which in essence is utter nonsense when trying to imply that it should apply to transfusions!

baby elders
by SB ini'm curious ~ has anyone noticed how young elders are these days?
in my old congregation, 6 of our 8 elders were under the age of 30, one of them 23, unmarried.
the father being the p.o...ironically.

I was appointed at 29, I really wasn't reaching out, just humbly taking care of the "responsibilities" bestowed upon me. My dad was and is the PO, the other elders had tried to get him to agree to recommending me when I was in my mid twenties, but he wouldn't, he finally gave in when I was 29. I REALLY wish I could have had the courage to say I didn't want the "privelege" when the two elders approached me to tell me I had been appointed the night they were going to announce it! Come to think of it, I would have left the "truth" in my early twenties, but I did not want to hurt my parents and other relatives. I wish I could have been more selfish.

Gays Leave JWD!
by hambeak ini got a phone call from a person that i gave my phone # to.
and this person said that gays are not welcome here and this is not what this board was really about.
i told them that this is only one part of the crap that the wts did to people and that we are people too.

I have found that a lot of homophobic people who speak out so adamantly against gay people are struggling with their own homosexual desires. That being said, who is that person, that he/she feels they can make up arbitrary rules to be forced onto this board? Is he/she a Forum Assistant?

Vote online for the "New 7 wonders of the world" I'm disappointed with list
by kwintestal inthere's a few on their list that surprise me.
it kind of gets me that these 21 places that they say are "wonders" are recent architecture.
how can you compare the pyramids in egypt or the great wall of china to the sydney opera house, the statue of liberty or the eiffel tower?
