  District Convention 2001?

  by Patriot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i bumped into an old m.s.

  who has not yet realized that i haven't gone to a meeting in about 20 months and asked me if i had my district convention yet.

  i said no that it was "coming up".. he then told that there was "new information" given and an "adjustment" in the way we do things.

  Governing body, "Society" and elders are imperfect men. Listen to them anyway or face the fate of Korah and Kompany.

  
  i heard that, loud and clear.

  The corporate adjustments in the Fall of 2000 are fulfillments of Isaiah's prophecy.

  
  isn't it amazing. ask the average j.w. r&f and i betcha they don't even know about, much less know the individual names of those coprorations.

  complete story here. http://christianitytoday.aol.com/ct/2001/004/25.html

  Question for the ExJW's

  by ExmormonRobertson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in mormonism, usually when someone leaves the church, the members give one of two reason for that person leaving.

  1. they couldn't live the standards of the church.

  or 2. someone in the church had hurt their feelings.. my question is: is this the usual reason the jw's give when this happens to someone who leaves?

  the replys are correct as i see it ExmormonRobertson,
  however i have a question for you.

  when a jw leaves, falls away, and wants nothing more to do with the jw cult, he or she is usually pursued to answer a question of loyalty to the "god directed {spiritually directed} earthly organization" as to weather we believe it is actually so. those who walk away cannot answer in the affirmative, as the things we see make us draw the conclusion it is not spirit directed. we are therefore punished, shunned, aka disfellowshipped. this includes or dear family and friends. is it the same way for mormons?

  Evil Men/silentlambs

  by silentlambs in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  this was a post i made six months ago, some of you may have missed it.

  i have watched many responses from those within the organization that endeavor to defend the current watchtower policy toward pedophiles.

  the most common response seems to be that any accused child molester is reported to the watchtower legal department and then reported to local authorities with cooperation from the local elders.

  and after this weekends dc, max, silent and others, all i could think of was that when it does become public, like when date line airs, they seemed to be preping everone ahead of time, to say...its satan making another attack on us.

  sometimes being aware of these situations ahead of time, gives a whole new "light" to whats being said at these "loyalty" pep rallys.

  Seemed to be received as a big anticlimatic "then, so what, why mention it?" The following announcement of the release of the new brochure was made so matter-of-factly, with absolutely no attendant build-up that it was received with none of the jubilation one comes to expect to such a wondrous blessing from Jah. No applause, no titter, no nothing.

  same here...it was like.....yawn...so what?

  somebody said:

  welcome back zev! missed ya,

  ah gwen....is that you in that bikini? ... now i seem to remember that the last time i saw you in one of those....

  thanks for the w.b.

  I missed y'all terribly.

  nice to be home with people who can use their brains.

  one thing crossed my mind though....when following the line of peeps to the center, i thought.....

  we all look like lemmings.

  sheeesh

  ready......?

  none other than c.w. barbour {SP?}
  96 years old, and he shouldnt be giving talks. or reading them either.

  and he draws applause at the end by waving to the audiance.

  with his cane too
