the organization stresses to elders to be careful with members of the opposite sex.
never be alone with a sister whether it be in field service or paying a visit by means of a shepherding call.
do you know of any elders that flirted or were overly “touchy” with females?
One invited my now wife to spend a weekend at his cabin, just the 2 of them. He later pretty much paralleled david and bathsheba story.
There were several she mentioned who were acting as more than just friends but didnt cross any boundaries. She was extremely good looking in her youth
i attended my grandfathers jw funeral the other day.
firstly i am a rabid apostate, and certainly not wt greatest fan.
that been said however, i will certainly stick up for them when they do the right thing.
Probably be told about it. It is supposed to be a recruitment talk with only approved music. I have a song oicked, but will have no say.
What i have been to was dismal or just fair. I have even heard applause. I think lots of people go for the reception, or to connect with old friends
heard this one again.
depending on the timeline i would be here because my parents were born before the date given this time and were "in".. that assumes they still met, the same wiggler got through, and on and on.. maybe things should hold iff forevwr as there are still future generations coming.
the combinations of who mates with whom and when are boggling.

Maybe thus should be in humor

I once asked for an old bastard rate and got it.
Add in the raiding the ice machine, no tipping maids, taking complimentary breakfast for lunch. Then maybs the reps tried to push too many kickbacks
russia believes they are a threat.
the usa has put witnesses in jail in the past.
other countries look at jws as a nuisance.. do you think the witnesses are a threat to governments?
Not worshipping the flag, not voting. No military service. We find a lot of do as i say and dont think in politics right now
The flag wrappers and burners are both wrong. Ill informed voters that cant vote for "none of the above" are just as bad, alternative service is now OK, but didnt used to be.
Napoleon said god is on the side with the most cannons. I was supposed to be a pacifist, but never felt it completely. But it is hard to find a just war, especially since ww2.
imagine this.
someone has been involved in a car crash or shooting.
total strangers usually rush to the aid of the victims.
Circumstances make heroes. most people will step up when there is a need. This goes contrary to the idea that mankind removed from god is evil
so if someone puts their life into serving the cult for free at bethel, then say after 25 or 30 years they are not able to for one reason or another such as illness, or family issue or old age, does the cult have any safety net for these people or is it you serve until you can't and when you can't you just go away?

I count time for getting there, the half hour messing around trying to get wvwryone outct he door and maybe some of the time on here
i haven’t been on here in awhile and this is my second user name because i was busted by my pimi wife on the first one.
i have been basically awake since 2013. i have a super dub wife that i love and don’t want to lose and my sick mom in the hall that is a true believer.
stupid religion has gotten between my wife and i (of course).
Age, neglected wife, mental stress; physical health all reasons to step down without having to say those 8 are nothing but figure head clowns
You probably find yourself trying to keep others in when you really think they should run
