a few minutes ago, during a live press conference, president bush was asked if he thought cardinal law was acting swiftly enough to correct the problems in the catholic church.. bushs answer was that he thought the church would clean-up the problems.
he said that he has confidence in the cardinal.
cardinal law is a good man, he said.. sam beli.
That's interesting... Here in the UK the Catholic Church yesterday announced that they have appointed a single parent,unmarried, to be an independant voice for sanity on the issue of abuse by the priesthood;to prove that they are serious about sorting out the problem;it seems they want it all cleared up once and for all.A lesson there for you WTBS; GET AN INDEPENDANT IN TO SORT OUT YOUR CHILD ABUSE PROBLEM; take a leaf from the RC's book, at least they're trying.Who knows?Perhaps you will be forced to soon,they may decide on a new standard for all religions after all the evidence is made known.
It always comes out in the end...
i'm not sure this will work, because i've never posted a picture here before, but i hope it does, because this picture will have special meaning to you.
so, here goes!.

That's a pretty moving picture for me...When I scrolled down to find it I first thought they were sheep...awww, then when I realized, well, they look so pathetic, the 'sheep class'OMG that was all of us at a DC or CA; prostrate before the Almighty Towers That Watch Us; that's probably exactly how they see their fellow workers-completely maleable and ready to BARE THEIR ARSES IF NECESSARY!!!
(or have I got it all wrong?Is it a new Lord Of The Rings poster!!!!!!!!!!
my wife and i have seperated,and i had to talk to the elders yesterday one of the things they asked did i withhold sex from my wife?
odd question ?
or is it just me?
And don't forget; there's NO SUCH THING as rape within a marriage, according to the powers that be...'How can a man rape his wife when she is his partner?it's impossible..'How much longer can they keep these lies perpetuating from generation to generation?
i do really,well maybe.. look we've all been there done that, no one else in the world can share that with us.. we may disagree at times but in a way we all understand each other.. love to you all and to future disagreement.
That made my day after all the bickering!!!!!!Right back at you darling!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
okay, i know what *my* deal is.
i'm kinda stuck in a life that i really see no way of escaping.
a big part of my deal is that i was raised without a dad who walked out on his family and so i have it in me to be the dad my dad never was.
Teejay, What a lovely,considerate reply- you're right of course; i'm sure all this is very confusing for him... I WAS very adventurous and an extrovert then, after becoming 'involved' I tried to tone myself down a little; but it's hard to amble when you want to RUN and dash from one interest to another!I guess he has the old me back and maybe he liked the inbetween one that he could subtly control by my OWN rules-I just wish he liked the happier me...i'm sure he.s going to leave soon anyway,just a matter of time; but at least the children have me back and I guess he'll never know how much fun it could have been...I really hope your wife finds something to question and pride won't stop her from investigating.You could always ask your wife for 'equal consideration'... perhaps your daughter could go to the kh on alternate weeks and spend alternate weeks with you at home doing alternative sunday morning activities!I hope all goes well with you x termite

Teejay;nice to speak to you...the marriage thing is so odd for me because my husband never has or will be a jw; he opposed it all for years, then, when i see it for what it is, I now realise that i'm a threat to him in some way; I just wish he'd be as happy for me as I know some posters here would be if their wives saw them for what they are; sadly i'm getting crap for 'HAVING PUT HIM THROUGH ALL THIS FOR NOTHING' I can see the point, but this attitude is starting to wear a bit thin; it's been going on for 5 months now and i will only take so much...If I ever wanted to lose so much self respect and feel like crap, and get spoken about in a derogatory way by all his friends who find it so self righteously funny; i've gone about it the right way!My come uppance for being a tosser I guess!!!Take care x
i'm not planning anything..... but when they all pop off, what are the rest going to do?they think the ns will come before they all die, so how the heck will they cope with it ,scriptually speaking/ surely cause a few to 'desert'?
there was a thread a few days ago about elders being up graded to fds status by some out of context crappily applied scripture;do you think they'll explain the absence of god's action with' the fds is still here!.
or will they work everyone up into a horribly humiliating fever pitch of protelisizing ,the like of which we have yet to see?
Thanks Everyone for so much info; I too, had forgotten (or was I not listening?!as if...)about the Given Ones.I think you're right about yet another moving of the goal posts; what a no-win situation; most too young to have personal memory of events to compare doctrine with, and the older ones may have too much pride to lose.Personally I feel that they'll have to be eventually 'stumbled' by all this as wer'nt we told that the change in the Generation teaching meant that the end was, in fact, NEARER not further away.(that was slipped in neatly to make you feel better about it straight away!)And all this introducing of the next load of FDS'Sin waiting will just drag it all out to unbelieveable lengths of time.Some brother near here a while ago announced he was suddenly annointed; and everyone accepted it as NOW it made sense!(they are so spiritually perceptive arn't they?!)So, hopefully the time issue will get some thinking ;oh yes, I nearly forgot ;apparently according to an elder in another cong. tells all that if any annointed falls away ;jehovah always has another in the wings, so to speak!But EXTRAS rather than UNDERSTUDIES, that may be hard for a few to swallow.But then, as the alternative is being slandered as loosing your faith or being spiritually weak unfortunately they'll probably just wait on jehovah.At least you've got the false prophet argument to back you up; soon it will be the only one you'll need!!!!xx
