  leading churchman caught with perverted images of girls as young as three.

  a leading churchman has been ordered to go on a sex offenders programme after he was caught with child abuse images of the most serious level on his home computer.. highly respected jehovah witness ian ross, 65, had perverted images of girls as young as three engaged in sexual acts with adults.. he pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children between may 2013 and may last year..

  Was this guy caught by the police and then D’Fd or D’Fd and taken to the police by the WTS?

  I really hope they are starting to realize these matters aren’t meant for their kangaroo courts.

  Songs that have a JW meaning?

  do you have any songs that you have listened and then thought that it also works from an apostate point of view?i have always liked this song, but one time realized that i was thinking how it sounds awfully familiar, if you think about those who have lost family/friends due to leaving.this song was originally made/written because one of the actors died in a car accident.

  movie was still being filmed and many spots he was needed were never finished with him.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgkafk5djsk.

  I remember back in the 90s watching the video to “You get what you give “ by the New Radicals and thinking how gay. Kids at a mall releasing pets from a pet store and throwing nets on people and what makes it worse is they totally think they are bad-ass when doing it.

  Then I learned the band leader Gregg Alexander was raised as JW. Yeah to a JW that would seem totally bad ass.

  It wasn’t till years later I that found “ Maybe you have been brainwashed too “ by the New Radicals in a pawn shop for a dollar. It was a really great disc. I started to research the New radicals and Gregg Alexander . It actually was on most critics best discs of the 90s lists.

  Funny thing is he just stopped being famous all on his own. I asked around the fan boards if he was disfellowshipped, even baptised , shunned and all I would get “ what difference does it make blah blah blah. So stupid, no one understands. I guess he does work as a producer though.

  I would love to know the whole story.

  Anywho, you get what you give by the New Radicals is my JW song.

  Also……..My darkest hour by Megadeth I always though was about getting disfellowed.

  there is a certain elder in my wives hall that has seemed to developed a real interest her.

  first he seemed to feel a need to make sure all her blood cards were signed before she gave birth to our child.. he sends her text messages if she misses a meeting saying how much " we missed you last night ".

  he finally sent her a text wondering where her oct hours were , knowing she had some pretty serious tears from child birth and could hardly even walk, much less do field service ".

  The part that made me upset is about four months ago he called a private meeting with my wife about her pregnancy. I think we all know what that is about and I was super pissed off. I walked into the meeting in the KH with him and another elder and shut things down and told him to mind his own business. Wife said it looked like I was going to kick the shit out of him.

  Wife texted him and said sorry about that. He replied it was “ don’t worry about it and he needs to realize WE disagree with him on certain things. “ The WE part pissed me off and I swear for the life of me I have never been able to find that stupid blood card. Unless there is something I don’t know about in JW land, I am not even sure she has one.

  You would think he would have fucking learned after that but texting my wife about having no hours after having a baby ? Really, you can’t figure it out ?

  I will let it happen one more time and I will say something.

  Yeah, he does have a wife and she is pretty hot and Asian. They have no children. I am pretty sure they say its “ We will in the new system “ but in reality she doesn’t want to touch him. He is fat and bald and covered in moles.

  Brother Tim Horton, the new service overseer

  by dropoffyourkeylee in

  stopped in tim horton's ( a donut shop) at 10:00 a m today and there were no less than 12 jws in there from three different car groups.

  it took about 25-30 minutes for them all to get their orders and get on their way.

  that's almost 6 hours of service time in the glorious 'ministry'.

  Where I live Tim Hortons is owned by an Evangelical Christian family and all employees are under strict orders to chase them down when they place their tracts and magazines.

  “ Hey, You forget your magazine “

  They hang out at MacDonalds now

  Too funny

  You are trying to tell me that your congregation doesn’t have its own version of Colombo?

  Sure must be fun being a dishwasher or janitor and getting to pretend you are magnum PI, Matlock and law and order all at the same time.

  This guy is so stupid he would actually have a sheparding call over “ Did you really have some Christmas turkey. You can lie to me , you can’t lie to Jehovah “.

  PS- We love christmas

  She replied “ Sorry, I didn’t get out last month “.

  What I felt like typing was “ Sorry, I just passed something the size of a small pumpkin and am tore ass to vag and taking care of a little eating and poop machine going 24/7 but handling out magazines to people who don’t want is my biggest priority right now. Please pray for me “.

  She thinks he is harmless but she really tries not to tell me too much with those type of things. What scares me if in six weeks it will be Christmas and we disappear for nine/ten days.

  Everyone knows what we are doing but don’t ask don’t tell.

  He seems like the type of guy that would finally make an issue out of it.

  Did you know anyone who commited suicide in the org?

  by JH in

  2. friends

  back in 1991, a young brother maybe 18 years old living next to my place committed suicide.

  his father expected him to be very zealous just like he was, but the son never wanted to be like that.

  he was always controlled by his father.

  There was a lady in our hall, maybe about 45 years old. She came from an uber family and wasn’t much to look at. Not saying that it matters but when the sex ratio is 60-65%-40-35% female to male, as a female you need to have everything going for you.

  She worked as a janitor and pioneered most of her life. She would never consider marrying outside the lord or borg. I guess all she every really wanted was a husband and children. I guess when menopause finally came it was all too much.

  Kind of a blessing in disguise. Some of the younger ones in this uber family weren’t pushed into baptism after that and are still out.
