  Vicki Boer trial: Friday Sept 20

  by expatbrit in

  2. friends

  some notes from the vicki boer trial today (friday).

  the morning was taken up by testimony and cross examination of dr. silver, an expert witness in psychiatry called by watchtower.

  the basic thrust of his testimony was to minimize the trauma experienced by vicki during the four different interogations by the elders and confrontations with her abuser.

  Sex Scandal in Montana

  it has been brought to my attention that there may be a major scandal working in the billings montana area.

  it involves more than ten elders in a motel room at the district convention this summer and 14-16 year old girls.

  my information source says there is more to come with possible charges being filed, but key jw's work for social services there and are involved in the investigation.

  Isn't this just perfect? Dubs investigating Dubs for worldly governments. The pressure will be on these Social Services Dubs to cover up the incident up as much as possible since this can "bring reproach upon Jehovah's organization". Barf anyone?

  i was thinking that since most of you have experianced shunning due to disfelowshiping or disassociation, that you might have some ideas adn scriptures to show how df and da shunning is unscriptural.

  the elders were gracious enough to provide my wife with a packet to show how df'ng is scriptural and gag loving.. sean.

  By today's WTS standards CT Russel and JF Rutherford and all Bible Students or Dubs that read and believed their signed publications would be DF'd today because practically all they taught is considered apostate by current WTS teachings. Isn't that incredible?!

  GOING TO GIVE MY OWN BLOOD

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm going to the blood bank today to donate my own blood for my upcoming surgery.

  what's the society's viewpoint on storing your own blood?

  i don't see anything in the bible that would hint there's anything wrong with re-using your own blood.......

  I would love to donate blood. But since I'm an inactive JW in good standing, I would have to do it secretly out of fear of being DF'd. Isn't that a shame?

  always get the isle seats?

  did anyone else besides me ever notice that men always get the isle seat at the meetings?

  (kh) unless of course all the isle seats are taken and a man arrives late.

  I think its a domination thing, like the TV remote control for men. I always noticed the men (who were also the family head) sat on the aisle end and the wife and kids on the inside. This kind of like shows who's the head. I on the other hand preferred for the longest time to sit more in and let the wife and kids sit nearer to the aisle end. It didn't mean my wife was now the head (I least I don't think so!), but I did this at first because I didn't want the brothers passing the mikes to notice that I didn't underline my study articles. Then I just got used to it.

  The WTS will typically downplay mankind's ability to solve its problems. This tactic is obviously used to redirect the mind-controlled Dub to the Kingdom and how it alone can solve our problems. Not that the Kingdom won't mind you, but just goes to show people still can do good things if they want.
