What a joke! In Elmira, On congregation, there was a kid (we'll call him Tom L.) who was told by the cobe ( we'll call him Rawd M.) that he could get his millwright education(four years for starters) but to keep it quiet. The kid told everyone what the cobe told him not to do. Nevertheless, he was an ms and later elder while he was getting his education. His friend (we'll call Andy) was told not to pursue a higher education which he didn't and became an elder as well. I wonder if Andy even asks himself why Thom could get his education but not himself. It depends on the rest of the elders and how much you kiss up to them, I guess.

Higher Education
by Brian J injust spent 8 hours in a 1 day elders school last weekend.
clarification given: "moving forward any elder, ms, or pioneer who themselves or someone under their roof enrolls in higher education, may no longer qualify for privileges in the congregation.
their qualifications will have to be reviewed by their boe.".

Can JW's celebrate Hannukah?
by Splash inwhat's the official teaching on celebrating this jewish festival?.

Why do you say they are jewish festivals? Leviticus 23:2 reads: Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: The feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are MY feasts.
So these feasts are gods feasts for starters and that's what I told two joho's when they came to my door. That we were to keep the feasts forever. It shall be a statute forever in all our dwellings throughout our generations(verse 21).
Acts 18:21 shows Paul having to travel to Jerusalem to keep the feast. Paul also stated for us to keep the feast in 1Corinthians 5:8: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Ask the jw's if their bible has a cross reference scripture to 1 Corinthians 5:8 and it will show them Exodus 12:15. (That's if they tell you the law was done away with). The feasts were part of the law. They will say the law is done away with yet Matthew 5:17,18 says until heaven and earth passes away, not one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Heaven and earth hasn't passed away yet. The CO and his wife told us they weren't familiar with this scripture. They had just come back from gilead. You can show tons of scriptures on the law and they still will not listen. It just goes on and on in a circle with these people.

Grieving Parents Denounce JW Faith (Blood)
by darkspilver insad situation for the parents.child death blamed on religious beliefs.
zimbabwe, the sunday mail, sunday, october 29, 2017. a jehovah’s witness lost her baby during childbirth because she and her husband followed church teachings and turned down blood transfusions that could have averted the tragedy.. getrude seneri (28) said she experienced labour complications on september 20, 2017 and doctors said blood transfusions were necessary to save both her and her child.. the couple stuck with their religious beliefs resulting in the child dying and her husband, misheck bande, stepped in to authorise transfusions for her when he was told that his wife’s life was also on the brink.. now, the couple have denounced the church for its teachings on blood transfusions.. opening up to the sunday mail society last week, seneri and bande spoke of how they were initially willing to risk their lives for their religious beliefs – but had changed their minds after the loss of their child.. jehovah’s witnesses are not alone when it comes to rejecting blood transfusions.. prince marezva, an elder of the johane masowe apostolic sect said they were totally against blood transfusions and organ transplants.. zimbabwe national traditional healers association president george kandiero said transfusions were shunned because people feared taking in bad spirits from the donor’s lineage.. another religious group that does not condone blood transfusions is the church of christ, scientist (aka christian science).. read full article: http://www.sundaymail.co.zw/child-death-blamed-on-religious-beliefs/.

My brother, Timothy had passed away at eleven years of age. I was ten. A few years later, my mother took her life. This cult is responsible for so many lives that were taken needlessly. I feel along with the pedophile cases, there should be class action lawsuits against people dying needlessly as well as dfing, marking and stalking. All these cult practices should be ended once and for all time.

It all looks good on paper in case they are taken to court. But behind the scenes it's a big no no to get a higher education. If only the followers of this cult knew how devious this cult is. They watch how they word things to save their a$$e$.

"We don't venerate idols or images!"
by stuckinarut2 inhow often did we as witnesses say something like this : "unlike members of false religion, who venerate or worship through statues or idols, we give our focus to jehovah!".
members of religious groups focus their religious adoration via an image or statue.
they do this in order to provide some sort of focus to their need to worship.. witnesses give extreme focus on the name "jehovah" .

We missed you at the meetings...
by punkofnice inhow many times have you heard that trope?.

If they said they missed us at the assembly, we would say "well we missed you too".
If they said they missed us at the regular meetings, we would ask " what did you miss about us".
We never would get an answer back. Just a stupid look on their fake faces.

Disfellowshipped in Absentia
by HereIgo ini have heard of this happening before, but how often?
its pretty rare it seems.
i have often wondered if the elders would go this route with me since they knew i was actively sinning, but as far as i know, no jc was ever formed.

My husband didn't do anything but knew that the elders in Elmira, On were corrupt. They reinstated a guy knowing that he had threatened his wife waving a loaded gun in her face threatening to blow her face off. He was drunk one night(night of the co visit) and bashed in his wife's lincoln. He also had a highschool student who was working for him forge his wife's signature on a legal document. The elders knew that we knew all this and came after us. They sat outside our property one Sat morning for about five hours waiting for us to come and unlock our gates. We did. Then they came at us with their bibles giving him a time and day of his judicial meeting. He didn't go. That was it for him. Me, I had taped my judicial and told them if they try to df me that I will go public. They never df'd me. They will whatever they want to protect their precious name my friend.

What have been some of the funniest local needs talks that you have heard?
by DaPriest ini remember once in berlin south germany there was a local needs part for the men only, and how they should use the toilet.
in all seriousness for ten minutes a retarded nigerian was going on about how men need to sit down when using the toilet.
no mention of anything else.. it transpired that some little kraut boy from an "interested" family would aim for the side of the toilet and leave a great big puddle for others to clean up.

Fill in circuit overseer who gave a local needs on recreation and now is not the time to be buying a house. Guess who went to PEI for a month's holiday and when he came back bought a house. Steve Rose, your an ass!!! He also had the label of hospital liason yet could never give a talk on blood fractions. People were asking to many questions about it so he got someone else to give a talk on blood fractions three times. You just can't make this shit up.

Our friend had met her in Mexico and started living with her from March until August this year. When she came here to Ontario in August, she wanted to get married which they did. Then at the end of August she went back to Mexico and that's when he got the annulment. At first she said she was a doctor/surgeon at the Western Medical hospital in Guadalajara, Mexico and that there are only five surgeons of her type in all of Mexico. We couldn't find her name anywhere on the internet and called the hospital and they never heard of her.
She told me that she would inject stem cells into my liver and heart free of charge. Later it was going to cost one hundred and sixty thousand dollars canadian for four shots. And it would be done in a house and not the hospital. She said she had the protocol put in place and that it would go through the hospital yet the money would go directly in to an account of hers. We told our friend she was a scammer. She did this knowing that I was diagnosed with interhepatic cholangiocarcinoma (billiary cancer), had two thirds of my liver removed along with the gallbladder. And now a year later I have a cyst on the liver. She said the stem cells would cure it. BS!!! Now I have a lump and spot on the left breast. She tried to take advantage of something so sick.
She is in Mexico now and he got the marriage annulled. She now sends him a picture of a box with a cross on it and it's suppose to be their dead baby that she aborted and had cremated at four and a half months miscarriage. She wrote him and told him she wanted forty thousand dollars canadian for the abortion. He said the whole time he knew her, she never once got her period. She just scammed him sixty thousand dollars. She has two kids that are working with her, if they are really her kids.
He doesn't know now what she had injected in to his stomach three times. They were little brown bottles that she had to mix with some clear fluid. That cost him ten thousand dollars. He has found three of the syringes that she used which were hidden and now he has sent them in for testing. All the other times she wanted to take the empty bottles and needles back to mexico with her. Plus she switched his bipolar meds on him and told him he didn't need to be on most of them so he believed her because she called herself a professional doctor. Just remember folks, his previous wife had just died in his arms from a heart anurisim and it was only four months when he found this mexican person.
