until 1996 the watchtower society's official policy was that a young jw man who volunteered for alternative military service, rather than being imprisoned or letting a court sentence him to some kind of alternative civilian service, had violated christian neutrality and therefore was either to be disfellowshipped or declared to have voluntarily disassociated himself from the jw organization.
beginning in 1978, the governing body voted on changing this policy a number of times, and generally had a simple majority who voted for change, but because the gb had a policy that all changes needed a 2/3 majority, and that was never reached until 1996, the policy remained.. in 1996, it appears that jehovah changed his mind, and so via divine direction instructed the governing body to change its policy.

Or what about all those older CO's and DO's who were imprisoned during WWII and bragged about being persecuted for Jehovah's name? I bet they're all feeling a bit silly now, don't you think? If memory serves me right, there was a CO named Seely who was imprisoned for this very thing. Wonder how he justifies that now, even to himself?

Hey Think,
I hear ya on the reading, sailing, going to movies, and especially the Sunday morning coffee and newspaper! One morning, we were sitting there, and hubby says, "What are we going to do today?" I said, "If we hurry, we can just about make it to Sunday meeting." He looked startled for a second, then burst out laughing when I winked. It feels so great not to have that cloud hanging over your head on Sundays!
Happy summer,

You mean, after all her bitching and shit-stirring, she had someone ELSE send you her email privately? ROFLMAO!!!!!!
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! As I said, Passive-aggressive behavior at it's finest! Once again, I must raise my glass to Prisca, queen of the shit-stirrers! I can't hold a candle to that kind of nastiness! hehehehehohohohohohahahahahah (sides aching from laughing so much!)

So, you're thinking that coming into this perfectly nice thread, and causing a stink, is better than just stating your reply on the board?
Do you think it will shame Tina into unblocking her email so you can spew at her privately? I don't THINK so..
Besides, you've already ruined this nice thread, you might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb, as they say. Go for it, spew away.
Anyone want some popcorn and drinks before the show starts? We might get to see a real old-fashioned cat fight! Maybe we could even have mud wrestling! Anyone got some dirt and water to throw in?
Oh, but maybe passive-aggressive Prisca is too well-bred for such a low class thing. She just runs into the thread, lights a LITTLE fire, blows on it to get it going, then runs out again! Bad form, tsk tsk tsk......

please respond to amazinig's survey under the title "poll elders vs molesters".
all you have to do is type in a number, that's it.
it you didn't know any jw child molesters type in a zero.
Maximus, that is very important info, but I can see where you'd think it could skew the analysis, for if others from those same congregations are reporting also, those same pedo's would get counted twice. Good thinking.

Hmmmm.. so let's play rocket scientist here.. You're saying Tina wrote you an email that was nasty (nasty is relative when it comes to Prisca folks, she wrote the book. Passive-agressive nastiness at it's best!), then she blocked you from sending her any back.
Now, before she sent you that email, had you sent her one first? That's the pertinent question, imo. And also, if you can't answer her privately, why don't you just publicly answer her, instead of coming in here throwing a foot-stomping tantrum on a perfectly nice thread? Can everyone say C-H-I-L-D-I-S-H and S-E-L-F C-E-N-T-E-R-E-D??????
Why don't you just start another thread with your public answer and let Tina answer you back? Or is that simple logic too much for you to handle, Prisca? And don't bother giving me the "I don't want to have a fight thread going on the board" answer. You've already started one on the board. And it didn't just take an "ignorant American" to figure it out.

You're quite welcome! At least you're learning your lessons well. You're even surpassing ME! Good job! Aren't you so proud?
You know, someday, when your time comes, you won't die, you'll just "Nasty" away.... lolololol

Dana,
Good laugh, wasn't it? lololol...
And you know, I always say, there's nothing like a good shit-stirrer to ruin a good, friendly thread. Don't you think so?
So let's have some fun and raise a toast to Prisca, the best shit-stirrer I know!
