ok so a car pulls up to the house and 3 eldurrs from my dads congo come up.
they come in and have thee nerve to ask me to step out so they can speak to pops!!!!
this is the good part.....pops says...and i quote " whatever needs to be said..can be said in front of my son".
''$1 billion dollars in sales, and local Elders have to resort to shaking down the elderly for money to pay measly monthly bills. Wow, just wow!!''
This would make amazing footage for spoof jworg tv!!!
Credits would read: ''All characters in this video clip were actors but the stories were REAL!!!'' That needs to be done!!!
a very close friend of mine has gotten his letter.
although he was planning to leave willingly, he told me that he can't help but feel a sense of being stabbed in the back by a bunch of self righteous traitors.
he gave tours for years, always telling the visitors "this is the best way of life, i would never change anything here and i'll never regret making this decision to come here.
@macys - ''If you want to join then PM him here first and he will send you his private email.'' errr, why can't he use PM on here to send the message???? Am I missing something here??? So he's collecting email addresses then???? For an anti-circumcision campaign list??? Have I got the wrong end of the stick? (pun intended!)

i guess we have to assume that jesus was circumcised on the 8th day but what about adam?
he was "perfect", so did he have the weenie cut or not?.
i would like to bring this question up at a "get-together".. rub a dub .
@Talesin; ''is circumcision compulsary in islam'' pop this into google and loads of sources pop up. I'm at work so don't have the time to read through and find you a good source but the first source from that google search is from BBC Islam which states;
''Circumcision is not compulsory in Islam but it is an important ritual aimed at improving cleanliness. It is strongly encouraged but not enforced. The ritual dates back to the time of the Prophet Muhammad. According to tradition Muhammad was born without a foreskin (aposthetic).Aug 13, 2009''.
I have someone next to me who is Islamic. He says all Islamic people agree with the above but there are lots
of nutters who distort it to make it compulsory as a controlling mechanism (think how cults work).
Pay attention to the word ''tradition'' in your source from wiki. It always says tradition because it is NOT in the Qu'ran.
To put into perspective, it's not a sin to not be circumcised for an Islamic person. It's a choice. It's a tradition.
Hope this helps.

I skipped a few pages so apologies if someone has already said this but here is my humble view;
1. Any religion seeking privilage for confidentiality when sins are confessed where a CRIME by law has been committed is SOLELY looking after it's own reputation and law writers should not let themselves be lobbied to allow it.
2. Any religion that offers a service to it's worshipers whereby sins can be confessed to a CRIME by law, and all will be confidential and said sin will be washed clean by god by way of said confession is SOLELY looking after their own reputation.
3. Offering spiritual help to a criminal should always exist and does so even inside prison.
4. Offering spiritual help to a criminal is a seperate thing from reporting a crime. They are mutually exclusive.
5. Mandatory reporting where a SERIOUS CRIME has been committed should be law.
6. Confidential helplines exist for anybody, victim or offender, looking for advice, or confession and these calls should be handled by trained proffessionals to seek information on crime and report any clues to a perpatrator where serious crime has been committed.
7. A sincere criminal feels he should pay for his crime. Anything else is not sincere, it's a game where the criminal is fooling himself.
8. Any religious body calling themselves the truth should NOT seek to offer refuge physically to a criminal. It is NOT their function. It is ONLY their function to offer spiritual refuge - which can be done throughout the whole process of confession to the police and detention and is quite rightly, their right!
9. For a religion to hide behind laws of the land instead of pioneering clean process is telling. They have a hand, in a game.

the organization has many problems.
certain doctrines are problematic.
the men who run the organizaion have issues.
Their biggest issue is that they bought a second hand Mr. Whippy machine, filled it with perfumed, msg laced poop and started serving. Over time, yes they renewed the machine, indeed now they have 7... but instead of changing the poop to ice-cream they gave it branded packaging, increased the smelliness of the poop, increased the msg and swapped the perfume for EDT and started charging for it! People don't like Mr. Whippy turds on their cone... they want ice-cream!
was this one of those jw urban legends at every hall?.
when i was 7 years old and began attending meetings, one of the first things i heard people say was "don't challenge satan!",.
i thought, 'what would happen if i challenged satan?
Haha Funchback:) but I think you'll find that race was a three legged race and therefore it was Brian 1, Satan 0, Jehovah 0!
i'm an unbelieving but baptised jw.
i woke up to ttatt around 4 years ago.
i haven't been regular to meetings for nearly 10 years.
