Don't know for sure, but do know that he writes and recevies letters to active JWs. That would seem to indicate that he has not been DF. Guess they can't do it without TWO witnesses.

did anybody see 20/20 investigation discovery earlier this evening?

it was all about kelly jarka who is serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife.

took place in murietta, california.

The elder who was there until 3am was not on official JW call as there was only one elder, but instead was there as a friend.

He was called to testify in court, attempted to use his status as minister to get out of it, but the judge force him to testify since it was not an *official* JW visit. So the congregation left this elder high and dry.

When he finally did testify, he was very evasive in his answering of questions to the point that the judge called him a 'hostile witness'.

It was a rage killing after an all night elder visit to talk about marital issues. He was probably planning on doing it sometime in the future, however after being confronted by his wife in front of another elder, up all night and probably got into a fight once the elder left, he most likely lost it and snapped.

There may not have been any physical evidence, however the circumstantial evidence was to massive for him to over come.

Kelle (not Kelly) was a blue blood witness. Mother & Father in the missionary work when younger. Father gave talks at conventions, dramas, headed up quick build committee, etc. Uncle who was a CO.

I think his family is in denial.

They should just put a program in the Watchtower CD library that scans your computer for porn and sends a report back to Brooklyn for the GB to review.

When I first learned of this years ago, I went to our congregation library to read it for myself in the 1934 yearbook.

well drink some cheap wine and call yourself anointed, guess what the only missing yearbook was in the entire library.

1934

If it's not there, good people can't read it. Dirty little secret indeed!

JW Cable TV Installer Counts His Time.. Home owner very pissed off !

by Hairyhegoat in

the directv guy came by today to install our new dvr.

a pretty simple install as i already installed the telephone line, and the amp/switch box is about 5 feet below where the extra line needs to run.. .

so all the installer needs to do is give us the new dvr receiver, run one coax line, plug it all in and leave.. .

Stealth

Should have went with Dish Network. They hire profesional installers, not Jdubs getting the pioneer time while on the job.

Never had a bad experience and you can understand the people on phone support because they live in the USA.

The Real Purpose of Shunning Holidays

by metatron in

the watchtower endlessly prates on about pagan traditions in popular holidays - while the bible itself is loaded with subtle pagan religious ideas - such as wicked spirits being cast "into tartarus" (a pagan greek place in which the rebels against zeus got imprisoned) or "sacred secret" - a term the apostle paul likes that was adopted from pagan 'mystery' religions.. then we can throw in the reference to being divinely 'called christians' in acts - which uses a pagan term that refers to demonic oracles of the day.. of course, the watchtower has no objection to accumulating millions of pieces of paper that feature occult symbols (any dollar bill!).

in recent years, for good measure, they have added birthdays and thanksgiving to the official banned list, despite the sketchiest justification for doing so.

if birthdays are wrong simply because they figure in two negative accounts, then it makes much more sense to ban dogs as pets because of all the negativity in the bible about them!.

Before my parents converted to JW, we had many cousins, aunts, uncles within less than a one day drive. I have fond memories of spending time with them most often over the holidays. Then we converted to JW when I was about 10 years old, and we were cut off from all of our family.

My parents told us children it was them who did not want anything to do with us because of our religion, so that is what we grew up thinking. Today, I know better. Now I have spent most of my life totally alianated from my cousins who I have such fond memories of as a child.

I should probably try and reach out to them now, but it has been so long, it could never be like it was before. What a loss to loose all of my extended family because of this stupid rule!

If you have young children and are a JW, DON'T let this happen to them! It is a loss that you can never get back.
