several years ago, i was studying the bible (jw literature) with an ms from the local congregation.
i happened to mention that i had several pen pals who were incarcerated in various prisons.
no matter what crimes they committed, i said i saw them as fellow human being who deserved to have a friend to write to.
Terry, so sorry you had to experience that.
Your description of a true Criminal is also what we call a Con Artist or confidence man...tricksters and professional liars.
And in reading your description, it defined Some Elders I Have Known, The GB, and my ex who used to be an elder. Don't know if he learned his con man ways from them or if he helped groom others.
next time you want to do an in depth search on anything pertaining to jehovah's witnesses try this.. instead of doing your research using google; instead go to scholar.google.com and your results will.
be amazing.. try these searches: blood transfusions.
child molestation.
Thanks, Terry!
9.10 am on the train heading in..how late am i?
train is full of witnesses and comic book characters...they have a comic convention.
they seem to be having more fun.. .
Group 2....omg
i heard through the grapevine that one of the slave laborers was walking backwards on the roof of the falls city, nebraska quick build this weekend and fell of the roof.
i heard he landed on his back and head and sustained some pretty serious injuries.. anyone in that area that might provide more information?
extent of injury?
Nothing in the Falls City Journal....although I'm sure it's been kept quiet if indeed it happened.
has anyone else seen this, or did i just miss the posting?.

here's the opening paragraph:.
It would be great if some Texas JWNers could feed them the Gay-Bashing WT articles and explain that they are JW "sermons".
Welcome back! So good to see your smiling face again!

Here's the opening paragraph:
The city of Houston has issued subpoenas demanding a group of pastors turn over any sermons dealing with homosexuality, gender identity or Annise Parker, the city’s first openly lesbian mayor. And those ministers who fail to comply could be held in contempt of court.
so, even if jws of the great crowd are found faithful and sparred at armageddon, they still have to prove faithful at the final judgement at the end of 1,000 years, right?
or, are jws of the great crowd assured they will pass the final judgement.
two tests doesnt sound fair!.
I agree with Navytown. It's all fantasy, the giant prize held just out of reach to make the dubbies believe they will Live Forever! It's as crazy as Baptists who teach everyone else goes to that imaginary burning Hell while THEY go to that imaginary wonderful Heaven.
Good grief. Wake up, people.
why, if you're a health care worker who's been exposed to the ebola virus, would you get on an airplane and travel right after?.

I'm sorry that nurses are underappreciated but anyone who treated or nursed a now-dead Ebola patient should have had the smarts to self-quarantine for 21 days. At the very least, she should have been smart enough not to potentially endanger others by boarding an aircraft. Seriously?!?
this interview in der spiegel is well worth your time.... peter piot was one of the scientists who discovered ebola in 1976. turns out it was the fault of catholic nuns who coldn't be bothered to sterilise the needles they were using to administer vitamins to pregnant women.. he describes the present outbreak as "a perfect storm" which could claim a frightening number of lives in africa and india.
he doesn't see it as a serious threat to countries with a modern health care system.. "i still remember exactly: one day in september, a pilot from sabena airlines brought us a shiny blue thermos and a letter from a doctor in kinshasa in what was then zaire...".
.
BOC...lol!
