and if you call someone a bitch , you would be fined 150 dollars the first offense and second is 200 plus possible jail time..
Massachusetts is on catch up - someone had that idea a long time ago. But worded it better.
(Ephesians 4:29) . . .Let a rotten saying not proceed out of your mouth, but whatever saying is good for building up as the need may be, that it may impart what is favorable to the hearers. . .
The carrot and stick benefit/penalty is cheap and easy to administer - you reap what you sow.
during the first talk tonight, the brother giving the talk indicated that now comments were to include sisters!
previously mostly only brothers were mentioned in most prayers or comments - has anyone else heard this tonight?.
the meeting seemed to be positioned directly to and about sisters.
Maybe there will be another talk to say comments can now include brothers. Is this a subtle way of saying, "please would someone answer who is over 6 years old" ?
i was ministered to by several different people at a jw funeral i attended today.
one older lady said to me, "you know the end is right around the corner, just look at the state of the world today".
i said, "well yes but that has been the mantra for decades, remember 'stay alive till '75'".
jp1692 if you can count to 140, in their books you must be a scholar and therefore apostate.
a former member said that elders told a relative of his after she was dfed that they would not be praying for her.
is that some kind of policy, or were they just doing their own thing in that instance?
taot.
I am df'd as some of you know. I often think of the scripture to pray for those persecuting you. Matthew 5:44-45
I keep them in my prayers.

Blondie - love the opening screen shot on that YouTube.
A convention badge with 'conquer the world in the 1970s' written on it. I guess they held back from writting 'Watchtower über alles.'

They had a follow up to the Prison Witnessing Seminar. Looks like they have spent a lot of time on this. Does anyone know if they have seminars on widows and oprhans?
Also I was surprised to see that all COs are described as taking an active interest in prison ministry.

When doing prison witnessing the elders have been informed not take drugs or potential weapons in.
Also they are to be especially careful with keys (if they are issued) and they must leave doors and gates as they found them – locked or open.
from the november 2019 watchtower study edition.. how many of you would like to know what the brothers and sisters would respond to this question.
also, if you went into a hall how would you like to respond to the question.. 8. how should we respond to lies?.
8 satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about jehovah and about our brothers and sisters.
If I was still at the KH I would like to answer the OP's question by saying, "the Watchtower gives us a fine reminder to never argue with those taking the lead. If we want to debate something it would be better not to come."
I would be careful not to mention having to leave the hall by tread over all the burning arrows at the end of every meeting.
hi all, i've not read the forums for awhile as i've been trying to move on with my life but i'm back and posting for the first time feeling like i cant get a grip.
so i'm wondering for those of you that have seen a therapist and say that it truly helps, what can be accomplished?
i'm just really skeptical, but starting to feel desperate.
You never really forget what has happened to you. No therapist really understands unless they've been through it. Find a true friend who understands. It'll be cheaper.
Also the therapist is part of a professional body (aka organisation)... buyer beware.
