  any elder has never asked me that question so far but i want to be prepared to answer that question if any of them ask me that question in the future.

  i hope that they will never ask me that question.

  any suggestions on how to answer that question would be very much appreciated.

  So I'm a big fuckin nerd and love(d) Star Wars. In the early 90's, the new CO came into town and told my dad that Star Wars is demonic. My dad was trying to become an elder so he had to suck his dick and he made my brother and I get rid of all our Star Wars stuff. Toys, games, books, everything. Strangely enough when that CO left it was Ok to have that stuff again. Lol.

  my parents became JWs via a bible study. they had a really big record collection. complete discographies, original pressings, shit that would make a hipster drool. the person who studied with them was a hard-ass elder. he told them that all that music is wordly and evil and they had to get rid of it all. they did.

  looking back my parents are pretty fucking stupid and it explains all my issues today.

  so here's my thought what should be done to an elder that is accused of molesting a child and there no 2 witnesses ?

  1. the elder should immediately step down or be removed.2.

  the child should be protected.

  If Sir82 says it's not in the letters section, I'm calling bullshit. There's no reason to make that letter super secret or just give it to the CO's.

  that's a comment i heard from an elder i haven't seen in over a decade, yesterday.

  i mentioned it all on my other thread.

  i responded that i knew of no one that was crawling back to the meetings and gave him an incredulous hearty chuckle.

  FYI, PBS is not NPR. Fresh Air is an NPR show that they also release in podcast format.

  Why Did JWs Abandon Brooklyn for the Sticks?

  by Room 215 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i may have missed this, but can anyone tell me what was the pretext the gb concocted to justify their abandonment of a perfectly suitable, high-profile, high-visibility complex in what is arguably the world's greatest metropolis for the bucolic isolation of upstate new york.

  any how does the move square with their purported belief in the imminence of armageddon?

  It's insanely expensive to operate in NYC.

  They've been slowly moving since 2003 or so when they moved the printery and shipping to Wallkill.

  What I really don't get is why they didn't just build the new complex at Patterson OR Wallkill which both have a ton of space for all that.
