i just talked to a friend who is still a jw and she said there was a letter read last night at her k.hall that said that what was on dateline was a lie and not to listen to it.
i asked her if she watched the show and she said yes she had and she couldn't believe the lies that they told.
she also said " oh but did you see that girl erica larson was wearing a cross on her necklace?
FRANCOIS:
I think you have been watching too many spy movies.
The odds of that theory working are staggering.

To Farkel:
Can't see any value to different letters, everyone hears
things a little different anyhow and interpretation isn't
the same.

I was there and heard the letter read. I made sure to
listen to it very carefully. There was absolutley nothing
said about not watching the show. The name of the show was
not mentioned in the letter.
JUST THE FACTS

letter was read at the meeting tonight during the service meeting.
probably because of the dateline thing.. several points brought out, cant remember them all:.
1) sexual abuse is bad.
Actually to be fair, in the letter read at the Service Meeting,
this is how the "two witness" rule is explained:
If a molestation is reported by two witnesses on separate occasions,
the testimonies can be combined.
if you darn apostates would keep up with the latest rags and attend the meetings against your will, you would see for yourself the direct link between the governing body and the appointment of elders.. in the last study of the march 15, 2002 watchtower, page 14 paragraph 7 gives you the damning evidence that you have been looking for.. ...our leader uses this governing body to appoint qualified men--whether spirit-anointed or not--as elders in the local congregations...the recommendations and appointments are made after prayer and under the guidance of the holy spirit.
additionally, the individuals appointed give evidence of producing the fruitage of that spirit...these appointed men receive direction from the governing body and willingly shepherd the congregation.
in this way, christ is with us now and is actively leading the congregation.. can the italicized portion above be any clearer?
TO DUTCHIE:
They are not referring to two classes of elders; "spirit
anointed" meaning part of the 144,000.
i have just finished reading watchtower of aug 15th 1968.
( i was still there then) i couldnt believe what i'm reading & i qoute.
"are we to assume from this study that the battle of armageddon will be over by the autumn of 1975 & the longed looked for thousand year reign of christ will begin by then?
The whole thing was like a runaway train that no one
desired to stop. People sold homes, put off medical
and dental care and missed further education.
I didn't buy into it though, I kept remembering Jesus'
words: "No one knows the day or the hour".
some years ago, i knew a brother with mental problems.. oddly enough, he managed to own a house and car on a. disability pension.
i wondered how he survived on his.
visiting his house, i found that he made written.
TO MUSTANG:
They were called Testimony Cards. They had a printed message on
them for the householder to read. The householder was supposed
to hand them back, but many times would keep them thinking
the J DUB was deaf.
in my hometown, this other witness and i were.
going from door to door one day when we reached one particular house.. the householder became so agitated by the presence of jws.
that he "sicked" his dog on us, but thank god it had a muzzle.
Maybe I just wasn't listening, they were inviting me
in for coffee...haha

I was a teenager, two old toothless ladies chased me
from their doorstep. They were so mad they were actually
foaming at the mouth and speaking gibberish (tongues)
