If you leave off the 1st and last letters maybe some will get to thinking they are in a ........rut.......or better yet drive the nails lightly so (hopefully) the 1st and last letters will fall off during an inspirational 'go get'um in the preaching work' -type talk.

I'm on the Stage Const. Crew - Here at the Arena right now!!!
by tresdecu inafter lunch i will be the guy nail gunning the plywood letters to the top part of the stage.
so when i get to the word truth, i am going to mutter "bullshit, bullshit, bullshit....etc" the whole time i'm nailing the letters, obviously very quietly to myself.
;-) that way when i am listening to the bs tomorrow, i can smile to myself knowing the letters have been properly christened!

Elder writes a weekly newspaper article
by man in black inhello, lately in our local newspaper i've noticed a weekly column that is written by a current elder.
when i left 6 years ago he was the po.
and for some added background info , if he saw someone who was df'ed or "spiritually weak" he would go out of his way, and do his best to avoid them.

Have you thought about not wearing any hat? You may be prompting prejudicial re-actions. Maybe folks like different teams, or prefer Honda........then again maybe a head of hair would put off bald people, or vice versa. Perhaps walk naked. That should draw a reaction.
There you go: walk naked with only a hat on.....but judiciously placed over your less-than-spectacular balled spot.....

Will Jehovah's Witnesses ever follow the lead of Roman Catholics in New York and encourage members to report child sex abuse to police?
by Sol Reform inand will they copy catholics by banning all child molesters from serving in kingdom halls?.
a spokesman for dolan (cardinal timothy dolan, head of the u.s. conference of catholic bishops ) said in an e-mail that the archdiocese of new york has had a policy for years that encourages those with allegations of abuse to report them to civil authorities, and that here are no known abusers serving in the dioceses.

I doubt anything any religious, or political organization says.....but especially Jehovah's Witnesses. What relationship does light have with darkenss? They are all dark and self-serving. Can a leopard changes it's spots?? Only when it dies and decays.

There are *good* people out there! Yes -gasp!- in the "world"!!
by Muddy Waters init is still a wonderful discovery and pleasant surprise to continually keep finding that there are some awesomely *good* people out there in the "world"!.
it's such a neat thing, this (slow, yet very rewarding!
) process of making new, non-jw friends.... i recently had my first meal at the home of one of these new wonderful people we've just met and i just must share this!

When all seems ok....
by Tylinbrando inmany of you know what has been transpiring with my daughter and the abuse she suffered for years at the hands of a congregation elder.
the abuser is still incarcerated awaiting trial.. today she had a substitute teacher that reminded her of the abuser.
there was a confrontation and she had a breakdown.

the Quiet One....you sent me a PM that said "Thanks for the offer".....I assumed that meant you were interested but had forgotten to include your personal email address...thus my PM reply to you. Many people have forgotten to include their address; especially those like myself, with very limited computer skills, and those with language differences. Maybe next time you should reply more explicitly with something like "NO Thanks for the offer"....I have no ill intentions, and believe me, I had no idea the elders book was on-line. The times I had seen it online before, it was removed for copyright violations quite quickly.Thus, the offer I put out there. Thanks for the link....if anyone suspects me of having some other agenda than what's posted, I can't blame you.....but I don't have anything to hide, nor any hidden agendas. I urge all to go to the link (if it hasn't been removed) and download the book for future reference. On the other hand, for anyone wanting the book from me, I'm happy to share the file the only way I know how. Big Mama

I can send you the Oct 2012 letter, and also a complete copy of "Shepherd the Flock of God in your Care" (elders handbook) as well as other letters that prove the societys stance on the 2 witness rule enabling pedophiles to hide and harm within the organization again and again. PM me your personal email address and I will forward the documents to you. As far as physical copies are concerned, anything can be printed from a computer to paper, as longas you have a printer.
I extend my offer for the elder book and letters to BOE's to anyone interested. PM me here and in your message give me your personal email, and I will forward these documents to you. This offer has been responded to by dozens of interested people in the psat year or so, and I happily extend it to anyone, at any time.

Looking for News links....
by JWOP in....about any jehovah's witness who went to extremes to prevent their children from getting a blood transfusion..

This is a link to a story of a girl I watched grow up in Hawaii.......from an early age it was clear she was a brilliant youngster. Obviously not interested in being a JW, she went thru years of schooling and did some great scientific work. By whatever means she got the problems she had that took her life......maybe thru contact with the birds she studied maybe something else, I don't know....what I do know is that her parents and grandparents refused to allow a blood transfucsion that may have saved her. I often think about Jenni and the injustice done her by her JW parents: Imposing their beliefs on their daughter, a non-believer.
If I'm able to find more documantation of this story i will post it when I find it. This may not be what you're looking for, but then again it may be of onterest and benefit to you or someone else.
