  i remember a co saying from the platform, " people often say blood is thicker than water.

  well not in jehovah's organization" i don't know about anyone else, but it sure rubbed me the wrong way and one of the million reasons why i left!.

  Yes, pale.emperor, my IQ is too low to recognise jokes.

  By the way, I do wonder, too, whether any Jehovah's Witness heard that. I reckon many changed the radio station, thinking it was some kind of an apostate spreading lies.

  Maybe it's the guy's fetish?

  Anyway, I don't understand those elders. They should rot in jail along with the rapist.

  If proven true... he better rot in jail. Hell, they should tie him up and starve him each day for hours. Too bad that'd be illegal.

  Seriously... something has to be done about those religions that don't tolerate even the basic human rights.

  Another "good" elder might be getting the axe....

  by humblepotato in

  2. friends

  so our congregation is full of hardliner elders, 3 of them, who are not gentle, kind or loving.. people have either moved away or quit trying because one elder inparticular was going to drive them crazy with all his rules and nit picking and being righteous over much.

  (and he is pissed that he hasn't been accepted to the school.

  hmmm, i wonder why!).

  i just dropped my daughter off to her mum at her parents house.

  it was 12pm and i knew they meet for feild service there but my ex and i assumed they would still be out knocking on doors.

  i pull up in the street and there's quite a few cars parked up and the house was backed with jdubs from my old congregation.

  Good for you. Your daughter will probably see right through them as long as she keeps contact with you.

  Extreme rules on Dating – is this for all congregations?

  by Bonnie_Clyde in

  just found out that in the congregation we used to attend there are two young brothers, both are sons of elders and recently engaged to girls in neighboring congregations.

  instructions are that they may not sit together at assemblies or meetings.

  but get this….they can’t even ride in the same car even if their parents are also in the car.

  Never knew dating couples couldn't sit together... I was once asked that question by one teacher, and I answered that couples can be together at meetings. That's how it is in the congregations I've attended in Canada. Apparently, some congregations are sick as hell, though...

  zeb, you have already told us of this quote. However, when asked to provide a source for this quote, such as where you found it, you have not answered. Would you be able to tell us now where exactly can this statement be found?

  Thanks in advance.
