Whatever you do regarding your wife, PLEASE make sure that your children are not isolated by the WTS. In other words, if they want to play sports, etc., make sure they are able to follow their dreams. Really put your foot down on this one - the damage caused by the "no part of the world" philosophy can be very devastating.

Don't worry 'Nic. Apparently it will take 3 months to repair the damage (I got a phone call this morning). The arson attack took place last Wednesday night by someone shoving combustible material through a vent to the kitchen area and lighting them. Fortunately no one was there. Rugby may have to share with Coventry for a while no one knows yet....

Watchtower dissolves congregations?
by TheStar ini have heard this from jws many times.
they say that when the whole congregation is corrupt it is clearly noticable that jehovah's spirit is not with them.
eventually if the whole congregation is corrupt the gb dissolves the whole congregation.. jws say this as if it were from personal experience.

Hi Star,
I know this for a fact to be true!!! When I lived in Ireland and was a JW, the cong. I went to was so incredibly corrupt, accusations flying, and the fact you had to pay a pound each time you walked into the kingdom hall, which was in a brother's house (who was doing quite well $$$, by the way). During one meeting one brother stood up during another brother's talk and called him "a puppet of Satan". The big bosses from Dublin came in and disbanded the congregation, forcing the members to go to the Sligo cong. nearby.

I used to go to that cong. when I lived in the UK. I'm trying to phone my family there now about this but the line has been busy for over an hour. I know why they did it too. There's alot of angry people in Rugby right now and I don't blame them one bit.

Would a JW Elder consider physical evidence?
by ThatSucks ini was wondering if anyone could comment on the likelyhood of a witness elder considering physical evidence of molestation.
so far all i am hearing about is the 2+ witness rule and i would like further clarification.. if sally-sue's parents walked up to elder marvin and said: 'hey!
brother phaux raped my sally!

I spent four years running to the elders covered in bruises. I was told to "wait on Jehovah". I finally stopped waiting and ran away.

ENGLISHMAN! I haven't seen a photo of the Waverley in 17 years! Thanks for the happy memory! I attended Mold congregation outside of Chester years ago when I was in the JW life. Now I live in the US though.
