i was contacted by my ex sister-in-law yesterday.
she asked me if i wanted to spend some time with my niece, while she went to her sister's baby shower.
it turns out my niece can't go because she's about to be disfellowshipped at the ripe old age of 14. .
I would think this kind of situation could result in the Borg being liable in a civil lawsuit or even facing legal charges. I don't think a minor can enter a legal contract and consequently I don't see how they can be sanctioned for somehow not living up to that contract. And then there's the whole issue of the emotional, mental suffering this kind of policy inflicts on a young person. Heartless bastards.

an elder came over for a visit the other night (he couldn't get a partner) personally i consider him a friend and have revieiled many things to him an figured the tie has come to step out of this religion slowly.. well i finally told him i have no believe in the bible (other then the confirmed history in it) or god.
i did it slowly and tactfully and even non-agressive.. his response to learning i believe in evolution was that evolution doesn't happen now i respectfully disagreed and pointed out lactose and alcohol tolerance among the last thousand years as well as tibetian lung/hearts.
he refused to believe it.
He doesn't believe in evolution because it's (supposedly) not happening anymore? And yet he probably has no problem with the stories of miracles in the Bible, even though they don't happen anymore either.

i'm an anglican and not a jehovahs witness.
what i dislike about lots of church congregations is their readiness to make unpleasant and unhelpful comments about other christian groups.
recently someone in a church tried to tell me a little about the views of jehovahs witnesses.
You should spend a little more time learning about them by browsing here and other internet sites. If you contact them directly you will become a recruiting target.

while attending a week long training class for elders in patterson, bro losch gave the concluding talk about loyalty to the borg, which i was in awe of(i went more in detail in a recent post about a s.a.d.
where losch was the speaker).
at the end of his talk, here's what he said: .
Lösch has made comments like this before. He clearly doesn't approve of football.

hot off the presses from exjw reddit earlier today.
massive leak in uk.. if true, this is big (and very, very disturbing)..
My understanding is that the UK (possibly the entire EU), has very strict data retention regulations. I think that's what these instructions are related to. And what's with Overly Dramatic Delivery Guy?

based on what we've seen, it seems to me that of the seven, splane and jackson are the smartest; herd, lett and morris the least intelligent; and sanderson and losch somewhere in the middle.
.
what's your impression?.
I thought I had heard Lett came from a very wealthy JW family, which might have something to do with his being invited to be on the GB.

hey all,.
have you seen the new video on http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/living-bible-principles/adult-survivor-child-abuse-video/ ?.
isn't this too much of a coincidence?
Just watched it. The timing is quite interesting, and is definitely not a coincidence.

we all know confessing to the eldubs is a bunch of crap.
seriously, once you do it, you are marked.
unless you kiss ass like a true believer for the rest of your days in the cult, forget moving up the ladder.
This is ridiculous. You try telling the elders you aren't going to answer their questions because you have become an ordained minister and they will either DF you or simply announce you have DA'd yourself. It has nothing to do with state or province regulations. The only rules they worry about are theirs.

By becoming an ordained minister through some other organization, online or otherwise, you have DA'd yourself. End of story.

they're baaaack!!!
jws "tabling" at my student center again, first time in over six months.
i wonder if the fact it's been 15 degrees out had anything to do with it?
So if Scientology wanted to register and set up a table, the university would let them? How about Westboro Baptist? They need to have some better guidelines on just who can come in and set up a table.
