  If they stop printing the yearly totals, will they stop tracking hours?

  so if the soc stop printing the yearly totals in the yearbook as many are predicting, does this mean there is no longer any need to keep track of each individuals hours?.

  will this mean the end of our monthly reports?.

  It is the only thing that the borg can hold over the heads of the RF dubs. If they stopped making the RF dubs report their time they would have a tough time getting any of them to bang on doors.

  You know she was counting the time.

  Update, I am on the phone with my dub brother and he has some difficult with my fathers ashes. I just told him that I would like to respect my fathers remains and deal with them accordingly. For people that claim they don't fear death they sure are afraid of it. I think the reason is because as a dub we were never made to come to terms with our own mortality. We were never supposed to die in this system so we never had to face our own mortality. Then when a death in a dub family happens they do not know how to deal with it. My sister in law has already had a few break downs over deaths in her family. I don't believe in anything but yet I can handle it better than my dub relatives because I have come to terms with my own mortality.

  I have another question, what is the borgs position on what they think is appropriate for handling a person’s ashes? I want to do something with my dad ashes out of respect, even though I believe that the ashes are just that ashes and have no spirit or ghosts attached to them. I just want to do something out of respect but it seems like the other dub family members don't want to do anything.

  I was not around in 1914 but was there in 1975 and seen the hype build up before 1975 that the new system was to come before that year. They now deny that but as someone that lived through it I can say they did point to 1975 as a marked year. Yet the RF dub, even those that lived through it say that was not true. The RF dub will buy any spin the WTBTS puts on anything.

  Sickening Dilemma

  by ItsMyLife in

  2. child-abuse

  i would like to have your opinions on what i should do about a situation please.. i have recently discovered that a 'brother' in the congregation (which i no longer attend) is a child molester.

  i've seen documentation from his psychiatrist dated a few years ago, stating that he doesn't feel that this person is likely to offend again.

  the 'brother' has said to the elders at some point that he has it under control but cannot be 100% sure it won't happen again.

  Sounds like the elders are again giving professional advice that they have no business doing that in the first place. Be very careful how you approach this as you are between a rock and a hard place on this one and are opening yourself up to libel action.

  were you too gullible, naive?.

  Relationship advice from the GB and my parents was all wrong. Took me 50 years to get over this mind conditioning.
