I think appointing yourself in a legal position over a person without consulting immediate family first is really unacceptable.

I found my wives new card yesterday. I know for years she didn't actually have one. The part that really pissed me off is there was provision for alternative health care agent or something and it was signed by one of the uber elders. I have no words to describe how pissed off I am that in the event of accident or injury that this man would get a phone call before me. I also know in no way shape or form was this her idea. We have had many personal tragedies happen to us and we decided it was best if no witnesses especially the elders were to know.
Of course I know the reason she wouldn't ask me ( because my view on the borg is quite well known to her). Its this elder who signed card that has really has me pissed off. Having power of attorney over another mans wife really seems to be personally and legally crossing a line. I am actually talking to a lawyer next week about estate planning and getting our wills done. God knows whatever else they are involved in my life.
I just wonder is there a copy of this card in the KH and would I create more problems for my wife if I were to talk this man. I am really pissed off right now.

How Will Armageddon Begin?
by Cold Steel inand how long will it last?
and who will come after that, yahweh, as the old testament says or jesus, as the new testament says?
the scriptures say he'll come to the mount of olives, but surely that's a spiritual mount of olives.

Armageddon is generally understood in Evangelical circles that Russia with an alliance of Muslim countries would attack the modern day of Israel and Jesus returns and ends it. Ironically this was taught long before the Syrian civil war and Russian involvement in the Middle East.
God, this kind of thing must piss off the uppers at Brooklynn. Watching events unfold that doesn’t involve them.
Mind you, I don’t really take that kind of stuff to serious. There is so many ways to twist the scriptures.

Does anyone else squirm uncomfortably in disbelief?
by stuckinarut2 inas we know, every month on the "official broadcasting" presentation, a new "music video" is presented.. can these possibly be any more cringe-worthy??.
the words, music, singing are so, so bad....i mean, so bad!.
surely witnesses are not so stupid that they don't harbor secret feelings of awkwardness when they see these?.

The thing that makes my skin absolutely crawl is when they make a comment that just seems to be for troll value or making a mockery of the bible. For example.
“We need to be one in purpose with the faithful slave just like when Jesus said he is one with his father”
I don’t know how many so called studies we have had that just focused on verses that are only found in the NWT. Once you are awake, it almost seems like some supernatural evil force seems to be present with the whole religion being rooted in mockery of Jesus. ( and I am not exactly Ned Flanders either ).
As for the music...................................... I have no idea how they don't get sued by Disney.

by Listener inhttp://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/crime/article39058014.html#1.
church shouldn't have divulged child-porn suspect's alleged confession, attorney says.
elders in the jehovah’s witnesses church violated the confidentiality of steven lindhorst of paso robles when they told police about an alleged confession he made regarding child pornography, according to a defense motion.. .

I really hate to say anything nice about the WTS or any KH but this is the way it should be handled.
Just turn it over to the police and wash your hands of it. No need to have a secret elders meeting and play policemen, or judge or counsellor .

The other Saturday morning I was in a thrift store called “the second chance “. It was owned by the catholic church and funds the pro-life ministry. In walks a couple ubers and I laugh.
Are you supposed to be here? I just walked the other way. Too funny.
Sorry, somewhat related.
What we would do in Canada was go out in field service and just stop for 2 hours and watch. It was OK because we were in service.

Are the Elders harder on Women
by Steel ini was having a discussion with an old friend last night.
her parents are divorced and his mother never became “one of jehovah witnesses “ .
long story short she claims elders are generally hardier on women than men.

The majority of the harassment seems to focus on women and unbaptized mates.
Do men get the same amount of crap for wandering off the reservation that women get or does it really not matter because options aren’t so slim. i.e women to men ratio
About five years ago we had a women in the hall commit suicide. She came from a very devout JW family and she was Sally plain and tall. Nice women but it just broke her heart she had no husband or children. I think the no children part really killed her inside. Of course leaving the reservation for a mate wasn’t an option. She was 46 when she did it.

I saw a single sister with her “worldly” boyfriend in the KH and an Elder did a marry in the lord talk and ended it with “ do you think you could find so and so sister a good Christian man “.
My jaw just dropped. The guy was even studying.
For people that are so worried about saving people from being destroyed at the big A, you sure have no problem kicking people when they are down.

I was having a discussion with an old friend last night. Her parents are divorced and his mother never became “one of Jehovah Witnesses “ .
Long story short she claims elders are generally hardier on women than men. There seems to be a boys will be boys attitude but with the women it generally witch-hunt mode with any scent of a sin.
I never really thought about it but I don’t doubt her for a second.
