LOL..... might find out who is really into S&M with this new light.
Sister Single and Weird will be constantly nodding her head hoping for a whipping!
Oh, you forgot to tell them about that part! Discipline is accompanied by lashings.
recently jehovah has provided new light to the organization regarding personal conduct during the meetings.. an increasing number of our brothers and sisters have not focused their attention completely on the material being presented at the meetings.
these distractions have caused a few to lose out on the life-saving food given at the 'proper time'.. in view of such matters, a new position in the congregation has been established.
following the loving directions of proverbs 12:1, a congregation disciplinary servant will now monitor all brothers and sisters to ensure they are paying full attention.. no doubt, many wonder what christian duties the new disciplinary servants will be blessed with.

i've seen a jr brown quote stating that 'the current jw policy does not allow known pedophiles to go door-to-door by themselves'.
could someone post the details of when and where this policy became official and the exact wording of said policy?
also, there was a jr brown quote from 6 months ago or so to the effect that, "we may have had problems with our policy in the past (like many other religions), but we now have an aggresive policy to protect the congregation from pedophiles", or substance thereof.
We had an unknown pedophile in our hall. He was a bible study of one of the elders. No one knew except this person's mother and father.
Then one day, his picture was on the news. "Can anyone id this man?" was the story on the news. Someone had been videotaping the pool area, for some reason, I seem to think that it was accidently left on, and captured this young sicko's picture. He had molested 2 girls in the swimming pool. Just a young man, maybe 18 or 20 years old.
The whole congregation was in shock. His picture was definately noticed and he is in jail now. What everyone was in shock about was that he was in the ministry, approved to be baptized at the next CA and included in social events. Not to mention, he went freely to the men's bathroom with who knows who's kids!
It makes me sick to think what could have happened, and to think his mother NEVER EVER warned anyone about him! He was a repeat offender!
may is national masturbation month........with all the sex that hits this forum, i cant believe i havent seen this thread yet.
(maybe i missed it).....anyhow, have fun.. .

Has anybody gone blind yet?
i have been in outside sales for office equipment for the last 15 years or so.
as a commissioned sales person, this is my livelihood, however, at times during competitive situations, i will lower my price on a product in order to secure the business, i.e.
the customer has a competitive bid, or the pricing just won't fit within the budget.
What I used to say is that there is a manufacturer's suggested retail price, anything lower than, even 10 cents, is a discount based on negotiation, financing and rebates.
Should the JW want to make sure he is getting a fair rate, he should pay retail, afterall, do you get to go to Macy's and ask the sales rep for a lower price? Do you complain when you buy clothes and paid the amount on the tag????
i don't know what the hell is going on over here but since i da'd myself only half the jw's shun me......i was told by a jw over the phone (a lot of jws still phone me) that the elders have gone up to everyone in the cong to personally to say i'm da'd (as opposed to an announcement from the platform), yet when i walk into the hall for meetings people still greet me.
i think they do it just to piss the elders off...... also, as some of you know my literature/magazine order was cancelled by the elders, i got in contact with an old friend in another congregation (a ex-pioneer who got df'd yet i still visited him when he was df'd...reinstated a while back) and he now gets me the magazines even though i told him i'm da'd.
he said he could care if i was a jw or not.
I thought that you could still get literature if you were df'd or da'd.
But why in the heck are going to meetings if you DA'd yourself?
i have decided i need a palm pilot or something like it.
my husband and i run a small plumbing company.
when i leave the house, i forward the phone to my cell.
I have the Palm Vx. I like it because its so small, but it doesn't have wireless, but I don't need that. It is so handy when you have a full schedule and lots of contacts. I have lots of clients, so I need their numbers and addresses handy.
You learn the grafitti real fast, if you use the keyboard shortcut, you will won't learn the grafitti and it really is easy.
I have gotten so attached to it, I have my personal stuff in there too. It also will interface with your computer, so you can put your calendar on your computer and then hot sync right into your Palm.
Check out http://www.palm.com and I like palm because then I can also get the upgrades from that site, especially since I lost the CDrom that came with it.
i once had a friend who had racial epithets hurled at her by a white man.
he was not the only one who showed himself to be a racist.
she also went to get a job at a huge prominent corporation in a prosperous country and she did not get the job because she was a certain color.
Troll alert!!!!
can someone pls help.
is mothers day (& fathers day) celebrated by the jw's?
if it is not, can you provide a scriptural reason for the decision.
Yes, there was "mother worship" in paganism, however, Mothers Day is not a carryover from that. Mothers Day is a fairly new holiday that sprung up to honor Mothers, not worship them. In the United States, Anna M. Jarvis (1864-1948) is credited with bringing in the celebration of Mother's day. The way it is celebrated here is more in a secular way rather than religious.
