Betty, it's not that men can forgive sin, all church's have confessional arrangements, you have to ask yourself is God behind the arrangement of embarrassing you ( public announcement) at KH. It's good for some humans to unload their hearts before God and friends, but to embarrass has no scriptal basis, even according to 1947 awake disfellowshipping is an pagan practice. Run Betty Run

One of those defining moments
by Chook in2 years ago i'm at po house for bbq, his wife tells me about her hectic drive to work for one hour.
i suggest car pooling from other women who work in same area, she goes on to explain that having to spend 1 hour each way with worldy women would affect her spirituality.
there it is in its finest definition of christian loyalty .

It was a wake up call for me 18 months ago. Bitten by brown snake in oz. I needed anti venom and of course took it. But then light came on in my head that I think it was same stance a blood factions ,which meant in old days I would have died due to a man made rule.

When you hear how JW land talk about She bears and Godly murder. It's not hard to see that "marking" which is basically saying we can stain anyone, Do you honestly believe that the Brooklyn seven wouldn't burn witches in the name of God.

If anyone is in any doubt about head offices stance on hospitality. I challenge anyone to approach a bethel after hours tell them you are an inactive JW who is stranded and could you please provide shelter for the night.

by Chook ini'm surprised that the crazy wt attorneys haven't tried to reason to the worldwide royal commissions that bible has no specific scripture relating to pedophilia.
the children's voice in scripture always came second..

Not in my wildest imagination could I see Christ turning away people in need.

Should I talk to elders?
by Chook inthe whole world is rigged, whether its religious tribunals or local police enforcement, those who are paid by god or government are the enforcers .
should you talk to elders... well imagine that brooklyn had ordered these men to df anyone who says anything against the slave.
do you stand a chance , religious zealots are the most ruthless throughout history, look into it , it's scary to think we believed a magazine that we thought came from god .

Steve2 turning 50 next year. Paranoid it may seem but history proves those with early knowledge won battle. To be truthful you have to take the US government line " I don't negotiate with terrorists " . Even Christ couldn't out talk corrupt religious leaders . He led example " no comment "
