  i thought the name of this thread was so on time for this thread demostrates one of the sad things about claiming to speak for god, when one actually does not.. when i was a newly appointed elder at the tender age of 27 .

  i was introduced to the world of the judical committee.. it was in fact my first case.

  i had gotten a call from the po before the meeting stating that their would be an elders meetings to discuss some judical matters.

  Some 20 yrs. ago when I was appointed a MS the elders had a talk with us, newly appointed MS in Brooklyn. One elder I remember he told us on occasion some may talk to us about sin they committed.He stressed the importance of being quiet the whole time,and just let them talk.Don't ask questions just let them talk,otherwise you may stop them from telling all that they did.I left that meeting disillusioned as to what spy agency I belonged to.Nothing about Christ's example.

  Another time,about a year after I left Bethel a bethelite showed up at my home, he had been asked to leave but he never told me.A couple weeks go by,then my PO tells me we're supposed be at this Com. meeting in Brooklyn Bethel. So we show up, Sam Friend smiles and shakes my hand, so I go around to the 2 other Bethel Elders with my hand out.THEY IGNORE ME. They Didn't even look at me,let alone shake my hand.WOW only one Christian in this group of 3 Elders. Nothing like being prejudged,I sat there thinking a Catholic Priest would be treated better.Such Wolves.The other xbethelite was df'd for good reason,however I guess they thought they had the goods on me but they didn't. I later called his old Cong. they told me he was Schizo.

  1975 New Info

  it means that within relatively few years we will witness the fulfillment of the remaining prophecies that have to do with the "time of the end.".

  the lead article "the finest work on earth" in the october 1967 km (p. 1) continued the theme of preaching with a sense of urgency:.

  the sense of urgency was effective in getting some students to make a decision.

  I was always amazed of the difference of watchtower writers versus writers of the Bible. Bible Writers told it the way it was, watchtower writers tell the way they wish it were, like there's 2 different holy spirit's at work.
  
  Working with some missionaries in training in late afternoon at Bethel I remember one instance around 1975,where they were ready to go to their assignments,and the writing staff put an article in Awake concerning the current class of missionaries . In it they quoted this Denmark student.He was laughing about it to his partner DENYING he said ,what was quoted in magazine about him.

  I remember Sept 6 1975 at bethel after breakfast since nothing happened,I looked around to see if people were upset, walking out.It was like any other day there from my view.

  About 40 years ago I was in a car group of sisters with my mother on a cold wintery day. A couple had just returned from a house and we were ready to drive to the next house when someone noticed this man in a bathrobe coming toward the car whom they just preached to. Excited they thought he had a change of heart.They were wrong, he gave them a good service talk on how my life was being ruined, I was 4 or 5 then.He said I should be home enjoying life as a kid & playing in the snow.I silently agreed with him.All the women said ,"he wants to be here". I think Christ was around 30 when he first went out.

  larc, i got my fear from borrowing $ & losing my shirt there.I'm inactive.

  neyank, that's an interesting point of lottery tickets and gambling.I believe if one trades options or Futures, that for every winner there's a loser.

  So if one makes a killing one day playing options and you make let's say $1975.00 and give it to Watchtower Society and inform them somedude out there lost this money, but do to good timing you got it and are now giving it to them, Do you think they'd cash the check?

  Them hallowed hallways are somethin aren't they? My favorite at Patterson is the one entitled "Our Prophecies" 1874,1914,1925,1975. with "False" under the years. On the other side of the hall is the word "True" and its blank.

  My cousin was married by Bro.Knorr;about a decade later she died of breast cancer.

  over 30 years ago i was forced as a jw kid to listen to,"the end will come in the fall of 1974 or 1975.as a reader of the bible i knew christ said," no man knows the day or hour".. i constantly doubted this 1975 garbage, but was still subjected to listen to it.the co. fred plumhoff would say on sunday, in his closing remarks," we don't know if next time we see each will be in new system or not.

  " the anxiety it caused was high.. i'm reading from the harriet lane handbook from the johns hopkins hospital.

  on page 556 under obsessive-compulsive disorder it states.

  I'm reading from The Harriet Lane Handbook from The Johns Hopkins Hospital. On page 556 under Obsessive-compulsive disorder it states

  a)Prevalence:1-3% of adolescent community sample.Equal gender ratio in adolescents.Age of onset is usually in childhood and early adolescence.This disorder often persists for years

  b)Diagnosis: Most common obsessions(repeated and intrusive thoughts) are fear of contamination, Obsessive Doubting

  Obsessive Doubting was me, I was constantly fighting the brainwashing i was subjected to.

  d) Management:Cognitive behavioral therapy is the psychotherapy of choice for obsessive-compulsive disorder. It involves exposing the patient to the anxiety-provoking thought and response prevention with homework assignments and education regarding the illness.etc

  Can you imagine shrinks giving JW clients homework assignments dealing with their history, false prophesies, etc.

  The "faithful and Discreet slave of JW's is neither faithful nor discreet.The mental garbage they pushed on their members is disgusting.

  I used to be a programmed zealot too.

  Respond with love,kindness,and graciousness. Keep religion out of it, your mom doesn't have an open mind at this time.

  Most important your children can use her unconditional love, if any exists.

  Silentlambs, you're a very courageous man and an inspiration to me, may God bless you and your family.

  watchtower, april 15, 2001 page 23,. but i am constantly with you; you have taken hold of my right hand.

  with your counsel you will lead me, and afterward you will take me even to glory.

  (psalm 73:23-24) one christian who was abused as a child learned the wisdom of these words, keeping in close association with the congregation, she says, showed me a different side to life.

  Interesting they omit what kind of abuse she suffered, was it emotional,mental,physical,or sexual?

  What kind of therapy did the elders give her? They just might put
  shrinks out of business.

  Is she healed or does she have personality disorders yet.

  Yes I know, as an adult she doubled her field service time and lived
  happily after.
