A high achiever nonetheless.

there was a brother in my congregation who was an elder.
he got disfellowshipped about two years ago for looking at child porn and also trying to meet up with a thirteen year old boy online.
he was also arrested soon after this.
I don't think he will be 'cured' when he comes out.

i understood that i had neglected my children when they most needed my guidance and affection, admits eduardo.
i had not been there to read them bible stories, to pray with them, to cuddle them, and to play with them.
We have East Europeans in our congregation from Lithuania, Latvia and Poland.
I'm sure they felt very comfortable and encouraged as we covered that material.

Mickey mouse The Charity Commission need to be aware of this in light of their current investigation.

my thread was inspired by gentledawn's insightful comment about the effect the events in wales had on her jw husband.... hope any lurkers out there can filter out the signal (storys and experiences like this) to noise (the current trolls running amok on the forums) ratios.
this the problem with those who focus on outrageous fantasies about the watchtower.
it distracts from the real issues that need to be highlighted.. what happened in wales was for real.
I like to hear the comments Focus makes, but the good stuff is usually buried knee deep in gibberish.
He likes to tell everyone how much more clever he is compared to everyone else yet persistently resorts to intellectually stunted ad hominem's.
Focus, welcome back to the party, but you are not the party.
I'm sorry for whatever happened in your life, but you don't have to perceive everything a challenge to your notoriety.
There's no need to be a one man army.

we are up for a new kind of persecution in the future.
a new form that was unheard of for us.
in australia, disfellowshipped and dissasociated are planning on suing jw for emotional and mental hardship for being cast out completely.
I wonder if anyone who was disfellowshipped for being homosexual would consider some kind of payback to the elders that made their life miserable, by requesting getting married in their old kingdom hall.

Unfortunately there are many who have poorly developed filters and are unduly influenced/impressed/intimidated by personalities.

Para 10 amazed me. "Jehovah knows that we need some money. But money cannot protect and sustain us the way godly wisdom can."
Tell me, who has just instructed EVERY congregation to tithe hundreds of $$$ to them every month?

It's black and white. You can either be greedy and love money, or you can serve Jehovah.
There is no middle ground and you cannot combine the two.
