There's the thought it would be waist of a postage stamp. If you have any family that's a consideration. Then there is the thought of not having to answer to them (which is my line of thinking). If DA floats your boat sign it with a amen from me. DA would be ok if you got off there database, but I think the cult has everyone on it for life. You could say in your letter you will change your mind if bro Lett rings you to discuss your doubts, I promise ph won't ring.

Going To A Christening Next Week

by pale.emperor in

so my girlfriends, friend has invited me to her little boy's christening.

6 months ago if you'd asked me this i'd have recoiled in horror.

in a catholic church?!!!

Chook

Even when I was in I didn't fully believe in the boogeyman effect of Christendom and its churches ,my brother being a catholic priest has introduced me to dozens of good hearted and honest clergymen, I even used to stay at the church residence with my family when I would visit my brother ,the Catholic Church in Kiama Australia has a rockstar view on absolute oceanfront . My brother now is the Australian army chaplain for catholic boys ,he done time in Afghanistan reassuring the boys gods on their side. Some of the best architecture is found in church's, even JW on holidays in Europe visit the cathedrals. As pointed out earlier at least the catholic child baptised can change religions later in life and still have family relationships.

New type study for inactive ones now?

by careful in

of course, conducting a "bible" study (actually a wts publication study) with an inactive person who comes back is nothing new.

i did so on occasion when i was in, or the boe would assign someone else to do so, especially if it was a sister.. however, i recently heard of this: during the course of the study the elders would go through a loyalty check of the person wanted to rejoin up by going through the baptismal questions again, just like they were a complete newbie.

has anyone else heard of this?

I don't think even cash incentives would get any of us back

I always refer to KH as churches , if Babylon the great has got blood on its hands imagine what governing body hands look like, dripping from the blood filled chalice of Jw children who got misled on scripture,the suicides alone should make God angry. Always the people in to top of any organisation knows of the past sins. It's called blood guilt. Our church's have only one purpose, they are slaughter houses where the sheep are slaughtered .

by Chook in

we need a wikileaks style double agent at bethel to send in a board meeting of gb and of secret revelations which only the most holy get access to.

there must be some it guru at bethel who can act as double agent..

Is Watchtower now loosening the bedroom rules?

by OneGenTwoGroups in

i was at my assembly when this was discussed last week.

of course i hadn't prepared and i heard "no rules about limits", or at least i thought i did.. here's the direct quote from the watchtower study article.. "although the bible does not provide specific rules about the kinds and limits of love play that might be associated with natural sexual intimacy, it mentions displays of affection.

the watchtower (study edition) august 2016 : making christian marriage a success, paragraph 8.. what say you?.

Chook

What god has yoked together let NO man put apart. God will hold these religious frauds accountable for breaking up families for bedroom rules that went beyond what's written. The sex between married couples at bethel does seem awfully plain vanilla, their is joy in tasting all the cakes in the shop.

POP QUIZ: You're An Elder, And A Sister Has Suicidal Thoughts...

by pale.emperor in

lets imagine you're a jehovah's witness elder.

you have zero theological training aside from what you've read in the watchtower and the currently still approved watchtower publications, you have zero counseling skills, and no medical training.

a recently bereaved sister approaches you in tears and tells you she just wants to die.. what do you do?.

If God really held accountable these men over the years for the suicides after their window cleaner slash painter Judical decisions, if God is love and these bastards are accountable then fire and brimstone is headed to Warwick. If a human life is really worth more than a sparrow then Tony Morris and his mates are going to be struck by god for their neglect of the broken sheep.
