Brokeback: Can you privately message me with the state of where that happened? That's literally what happened to my wife. I have no idea why she's still 'in' after something like that. She didn't scream so "she consented to it"

What is the youngest age you know of being DF'd?
by berrygerry ini doubt that nothing has greater impact then a person being df'd - reading the current thread.. i have known many kids df'd at 15, and many baptized at 10 or 11, but none df'd.. i would imagine that the minimum must be about 13.. any younger than 15?.

JW.org Email Service - Now I've Seen EVERYTHING!!!
by jw07 inmaybe i'm late but i just discovered that elders now have an email service run on the jw.org domain name.. those emails might contain a treasure trove of very sensitive material regarding rape, molestation, pedophilia cases etc.. the cult keeps getting creepier and creepier.
why would they do that in this day and age, lots of damning stuff in one place?.

Email hosting is pretty trivial. From an organizational perspective it makes sense to have correspondence sent to it than to a personal email account.
Nothing sinister here, folks.

Measles, Cults and Vaccinations
by OrphanCrow inhttp://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-rushes-to-vaccinate-against-measles-in-joliette-1.2991904.
a member of the esprit-saint mission told cbc news reporter thomas daigle that vaccinations are against the community's beliefs and that their prophet warns them vaccines result in illness.
the member confirmed the first cases of measles in the region originated with the community.the esprit-saint eugenics group was founded by eugene richer dit lafleche in 1913. the community purports to live by and work toward spreading the message of the third member of the trinity, the holy spirit.a former member of the community said it believes vaccines compromise people's immune systems, and that they feel protected by the spirit of dit la fleche, who died in 1925.public health officials said wednesday they believe the number of infections will continue to climb.. this article sounded interesting - i was reminded of how similar this cult's views on vaccinations are to the jws view, especially back in the 1920s to the 1950s.

You might not wish to expose yourself to the chemicals in the vaccine, some of which are designed to make you sick (in the long run, so you won't realize why you are sick).
You are absolutely insane. Please stop spreading tin-foil hat conspiracy theory stuff like this.

Bethel was full of football nuts, which was odd as you mentioned. Everyone in my department and in others had fantasy football leagues and all sorts of stuff. Huge Superbowl parties, etc. -

I've talked to some people about the sports business side of this, and apparently it was either retire or play for the Titans. I guess the JW thing is just his spin on this lol. -

This is news to me, despite somewhat following the Steelers.
With all the surprises that were delivered around the NFL Tuesday, Jason Worilds has pulled another. The Steelers free agent linebacker announced early this morning that he was leaving football.
And the Steelers believe he means it.
Steelers sources told the Post-Gazette today that they believe Worilds, who became an unrestricted free agent on Tuesday, is serious about walking away from football at the age of 27 to work for his religion, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and that there is no hidden agenda involved in his decision.
“I appreciate all of the interest from the organizations that have reached out to us the past few days,’’ Worilds wrote on Twitter. “With that being said, after much thought & consideration I have chosen to step away from football as I have opted to pursue other interests.
“I am especially grateful of the opportunity to play before some of the greatest fans in football today. Despite any concern and speculation that may ensue, I appreciate those that are respectful of my decision.’’
The Steelers issued a statement today that said, “We respect his decision to retire and thank him for his five years in Pittsburgh. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
Worilds, who made nearly $10 million with the Steelers last season, was considered one of the top free agent outside linebackers on the market. Yet it was curious when free agency began at 4 p.m. Tuesday that there was no word on any potential signings or even team visits mentioned for him.
While the start of NFL free agency soared in a series of blockbuster trades and big-time player signings, the Steelers took on the look of neutrality.
They signed no one, they released no one, they traded no one, they lost no one.
Thus, they followed a blueprint that has been a hallmark of theirs in the first few hours of free agency, by looking over the field and patiently waiting for things to develop.
At 4 p.m. Tuesday, eight of their players became unrestricted free agents who can sign anywhere, most notably linebacker James Harrison and cornerbacks Ike Taylor and Brice McCain.
Tennessee seemed to be the landing place previously most mentioned for Worilds as a possibility, as it also could be for Taylor and Brett Keisel, who was released by the Steelers Monday.
McCain, signed to a one-year contract in 2014 after Houston released him, reportedly is scheduled to visit the Miami Dolphins this week. McCain became a pleasant surprise for the Steelers after an injury to Taylor and ineffectiveness for Cortez Allen; he started 10 games at cornerback, including their playoff loss to Baltimore.
There also was no further news on the Troy Polamalu front. He has two years left on a contract extension he signed in 2014, but his contract has outpaced his performance. At 34, Polamalu is scheduled to earn a $6 million salary in 2015 and count $8.25 million under the salary cap. The Steelers would create $3.75 million in cap room if they released him before June 1, and $6 million if they wait until then or designate him as June 1 cut.
They would prefer that he retire, but since that has not happened yet, it can be assumed he either remains undecided or wants to play in 2015. Since the Steelers are $3 million-$4 million under the cap, they do not have to make a move with him unless they want the salary-cap savings they could get by releasing him to use elsewhere to sign someone.
General manager Kevin Colbert added to the Polamalu intrigue by posting this statement on the Steelers website Monday:
“At this time, we do not have an update on Troy Polamalu or his contract status. We will continue to communicate with Troy and his representatives regarding his future.”
The most notable occurrence involving anything Steelers-related Tuesday was linebacker LaMarr Woodley, recently released by the Oakland Raiders, signing with the Arizona Cardinals. Woodley was released by the Steelers one year ago, then signed with the Raiders. He will still count $8,580,000 against the Steelers salary cap in 2015, nearly 6 percent of their total team cap.
Interested to know when he became a JW. Was he one since childhood? If so shame on him :P for pursuing a worldly sports career. Did he convert as an adult? Unlikely. He was probably too busy banging hookers and enjoying the life of a multi-millionaire.
Regardless, I have no doubt the WTS would love some of that dirty dirty worldly football career money.
It's doubly hypocritical since the WTS has often called out football as being bad in its publications. IT'S EVIL BUT WE'LL TAKE THAT MONEY. -
