What's the Worst Advice You Heard of an Elder Giving Someone?

by Sea Breeze in

i believe an an elder told someone who's daughter (14 yo) became sexually active with a 26 year old in the neighborhood, that maybe they should get married.

so, they did... with parental consent.

he turned out to be a ex-convict who shot his first wife in the face with a shotgun.

Wife was a violent monster. After an attack I called police. Prosecuting attorney pressed charges and convicted her of domestic violence. Elders told me I should have never involved the police and courts (I had told police I did not want charges pressed. They decided there was enough evidence to do it anyway). I was bringing reproach on Jahs name and the congregation. I should have called them instead (I had multiple times over the years and was fed up with no change). And, the next time she hits me I should turn the other cheek and let her hit that too. I must drop the PPO and let her move back in the house as I was setting her up and would be responsible for it if she cheated on me while we were separated.

Cant make this stuff up.

you heard me correct, this is not a joke, and it is not april fools day!

the asl portion of the governing body updated #2 (march 2024) has been released a bit early and someone caught it.

summary: .

Hope they aren't going to meet with all the inactive ones every 6 months too. Walked out the KH doors almost 9 years ago and haven't been back. Not DF, just left and they know why. 1 visit from 1 elder driving by while I was mowing. It's been great. They're probably not, I moved over an hour away 6 years ago

I think I'm going to send him a bottle of Macallan and a thank you letter for his 2014 annual meeting speech were he blasted anyone who wasn't a MS by the time they were in their 20's. Who would want to be with a person like that. He marked me as bad association to the world and made me realize what the GB thought of me. First week of July 2015 was the last time I stepped into a KH and life has been great since. I owe him a thank you.

Jw's sending me invites and letters, I don't get it.

first off, i have made it real clear with jw's my thoughts on being a jw.

i'm out, there is no coming back.. second, i'm on their " do not call list" .. so why now all of a sudden my mailbox is getting bombed 💣 by their memorial invites and letters?.

don't they follow their do not call list?

RandomUserName3500

I received one letter in the four years I've lived in this house. Had the KH as the return address. A few clicks on Google found the senders name, address, and surprisingly public Facebook profile. I sent her letter and tract back to her, at her home address with a letter explaining why. Did not include my name or address so she had no idea of where it came from and which person/address replied. A few days after mailing the letter her FB went into lockdown with nothing showing to the public. Maybe she thought receiving a letter from a stranger at your home address was creepy.

Where does the cult fall on sexually touching each other for married couples.

by mickbobcat in

so its wrong for married couples to have oral sex and anal but what about touches to arouse?

to climax i would assume it was wrong.

but what if you go too far getting ready for sex and climax, do you need to go to the cult to confess..

RandomUserName3500

If I recall correctly, and it was in the old CD library if you searched. Oral and anal were not allowed and some had been DFd for it. Maybe in the 70's they backed up a bit and kinda said we don't want to know and stopped DFing for it. I seem to remember someone trying to get there df reversed because of it.

Get Vaccinated or Get laid Off

by StephaneLaliberte in

i’m personally for the vaccine, took two shots and would take a third if asked.

but i know a friend of mine that doesn’t want to take the vaccine who works for the government and now is faced with this choice: get vaccinated or get laid off.

i don’t agree with this measure as it is totalitarian and runs against my core belief in individual freedom.. now, with that being said, what i don’t understand is that my friend still won’t get vaccinated.

RandomUserName3500

Can she get a medical exemption from the vaccine ?

My employer mandated the vaccine - get it or your fired. I got a Dr note

They also told me I had to shave - got a dr note and didnt shave.

Looking for a new employer

Should Biden Have Mandated Vaccinations Today?

by Sea Breeze in

biden mandated widespread covid shots today.. "we've been patient," biden announced.

"but our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us.".

.

RandomUserName3500

I do like the part where he said if you want to do business with the federal government you must be vaccinated.

I guess that means all the unvaccinated don't have to pay taxes anymore because he doesn't want to do business with us. Thank you Biden.

hi all.. i'm 42 years old.

i have had two jabs of the oxford-astrazeneca vaccine.. after my first jab i experienced flu-like symptoms - shivering, wanted to lie down in a dark room, etc.. i experienced no side effects after my second shot.. how about you?.

how many jabs have you had?.

RandomUserName3500

My sister had 1 shot of the moderna and ended up in urgent care with difficulty breathing. She decided not to do the second.

My employer made flu shot mandatory for employment last year and covid vac mandatory this year. I got a Dr note from my allergy Dr last fall saying don't get flu shot. They didn't fire me. Got another Dr note that says don't get flu or covid shot. Just turned it in last week. We'll see what happens. Keeping my eye on indeed just in case.

Love the don't use a gun for self defence by Gary Bro

by mickbobcat in

i just watched that stupid talk by gary while e bro on not using a gun for self defense but it went deeper.

i was that you don't defend yourself against violence.

well ain't that great from an asshat living in a gated and guarded compound.

When someone attacks you, you're not supposed to call the police. You're supposed to call the elders. At least that is what the elders told me after my now ex wife went on an anger filled rampage. I was doing some home remodeling and had a tool belt on. She grabbed the hammer and was swinging it at me. Got away from that and she started throwing things through windows, smashing furniture, etc. I tried calling the police. She got the cell phone and threw it. Got it back and called. She was prosecuted and convicted of domestic violence. I was counseled for calling the police, should have let the elders handle it. Yeah right.

Funny, i was outside when the police showed up. Can hear stuff being smashed inside still. First thing i tell the police is I have a 25 on my ankle. He takes it and unloads it and asks why i didnt use it. Didnt need too, got myself out and safe.

What is the most insensitive thing an Overseer or Elder has ever said and done to you?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

what is the most insensitive thing an overseer or elder has ever said and done to you?

i have had many insensitive things said to me by some elders, but for some reason one self-righteous elder was always on my case.

he didn't like the fact that i missed meetings, didn't like that i never went out in field service, that i didn't answer at the weekly meetings and he didn't like that i carried my books and magazines in my hands and not a service/book bag.

After my wife (now ex) was found guilty of domestic violence against me in the local court the CO told me "you are just being like Adam and blaming everything on your wife. Why are you making stuff up and lying about your wife? Why are you trying to get rid of her? Are you having an affair? " I wasn't, i was begging for help. The COBE chimed in and said I "should have turned the other cheek and let her hit me there too." And, I "was wrong for calling the police when she supposedly attacked me. The elders would have taken care of it. "
