i have a friend who is an eldub and he just completed elder's school!
what did he learn?
as far as i can tell, he learned:.
4) Supporting Jeehoober means recognizing his right to rule. You obey because you want to.
This means obeying the GB without question.
I have worked with many gay people over the years and the majority were more christlike than most dubs. Kind, loving, generous.
My girlfriend and myself went to a yard party that a gay friend put on and they were the most hospitable people. They know you are not gay and don't push it.
hello all... i currently studying the bible teach book and i'm just curious what information does the study conductor record about the student and is it passed on??
and they keep on saying "the truth" which is starting to get on my nerves.
lol.
i am just trying to figure out who is an employer and an employee as opposed to a volunteer in this organisation .. are the governing body members of the wtb&ts employers ?
do they consider themselves volunteers ?.
are anybody male or female under their jurisdiction employee`s ?
my wife's parents who are pretty obsessed with the watchtower religion are going on holiday more than they are at home these days and spending money like it is something evil to be got rid of.
i have not been to a meeting in a long time but after reading the thread on hysteria by campaign of hate and the whole tv broadcasting thing i got to wondering if they really are ramping up the 'sense of urgency'.
many on here are better informed than me so i'd be interested to hear whether this is a common thing..
i was sitting at the meeting the other night and for the first time it hit, jw talks or magazines are never uplifting!
i rarely, if ever hear a talk or read a magazines and have it give nothing but praise to jehovahs servants or just praise jehovah and jesus throughout it.
they never just a read through the bible or just a bible story explained or told.
if you, like me, have noticed the sudden increase in hysteria in the khs right now, i put it down to that jw tv site.
its's far more extensive than i thought it was, i thought it was just 1, 1 hour program a month.
there's a s*** load of videos on that site.. and the real problem, from just watching a clip from each video, is that these guys are clearly "mentally unstable".
i am not sure if this has being discussed.
i just watch "deadly devotion" on id channel.
the episode was entitled, witness to murder.
I am not sure if this has being discussed. I just watch "Deadly Devotion" on ID Channel. The episode was entitled, Witness to Murder. It was about the infamous 1985 case of Kim Anderson. I vaguely recall this story. Even though there was some inaccuracies on the portraying of the JW elders, it was good because it showed the JW,s and the elder arrangement for what they are, a controlling mind cult. After Kim pleaded with the elders that she had to get out of this abusive relationship and the elders forced her to stay in which ultimately led to her being killed by her abusive husband.

William, may I ask, what you see (or, think you see) in China, that leads you to call China a 'repressive' regime?
We can only go by what is reported to us in the news media. Just two examples in recent memory, according to what I have read from different news sources, the news media in China is controled by the Central Chinese government that no negative pictures are allowed to be published and public protest are banned. I call this repressive. We don't have to go to far for Russia, in the last winder Olympics and their ban on gay rights. Again you may not agree with this life style but I would say that was repressive.
