just finished reading the posts on this years drama, about timothy "pioneering" and how youths should not go to college.. it is crucial, if you are helping any parent win custody of their children from their jw parent, that you get a copy of the drama on dvd (someone stated it would be released at the end of the summer) and get it into the hands of a family court judge.. the wt already has a booklet about how jw parents and children should respond in family court, over custody cases.
they use twisted reasoning and scripted answers.. this dvd will expose their lies and evil maliciouness..

the local needs talk on thursday discussed a few different things, according to my mom.
but the one that stood out most was that he announced that based on the new book, the elders will be checking on those that have not been associating with the congregation for some time.
they will ask, "do you still want to be a jehovah's witness?
Very good comments, everyone! Nice to see different points of view.
I wanna tell you one thing: I made it clear to my family that I don't want to have anything to do with JWs anymore. It was a powerful statement and had a profound effect: My sister signed up for Regular Pioneer. :( She's clearly trying to make a statement, too; something such as: see? I am spiritually strong...
In the end, I think I made the right decision because she will eventually get tired of it and may see how foolish being a Regular Pioneer is. Time will tell.
I don't think that faking is the right thing to do, but I emphatize with people in situations different than mine.

they might be able to kick me in the nuts, but they can't knock me out.
btw, 'catchthis' is a poser.
Jourles,
I can't believe it! Welcome back! No one ever explained why you vanished without a trace like that...
I wish you would put dirtclod.com back with EVERYTHING for all to see!

i just stumbled onto this useless bit of info: .
watchtower has registered internet domain names ccjw.com and ccjw.org (christian congregation of jahoobee's witlesses).
.org and .com are reg'd to joel gott /watchtower (joel seems to be their head nerd) .

"ccjw.ca is now owned by me. "
Good job, misguided!
finally, i will look at biblical and patristic evidence bearing on the crucifixion of jesus in particular.
we need to examine the earliest known descriptions of the kind of crucifixion adopted by the romans and the specific terms they used to refer to it.
apparently the society believes that crux still meant "stake" in the second century a.d., when tacitus composed his annals.
Thanks, Leolaia. That was really good.

I think this maybe a small step towards getting rid of the disfellowshipping practice (?).
The next step would be - 10 years from now - "Is it not so refreshing to know that Jehovah's organization is so compassionate so as to extend mercy even to those who don't want to associate with us any more. God's people may have misapplied some key scriptures in the past, but, even then, that has proved to be to their advantage."
I don't know... "Jehovah's organization" is so clever, so clever, that we don't really know what that will mean a few years down the road.
I don't think they'd introduce changes to the disfellowshipping practice in a single strike.

okay, first off, let me get this straight...you guys are all witnesses, some all active, some do things all the way right, some don't do things all the way right?
some are by the book but not preachy, and some are witnesses that are rogue and do things their own way?
i just want to know before i post any doubts or concerns or anything because even though i know we're supposed to stay away from places like this on the internet, i don't want what i say somehow getting back to my congregation somehow and next thing you know 4 elders come busting through the door waving "no blood" cards and shouting "freeze, jehovah's witnesses!
"I just want to know before I post any doubts or concerns or anything because even though I know we're supposed to stay away from places like this on the Internet..."
soundbox, you must be either a joker or a total [I don't want to violate rule #3].
First of all, the only things we can know about you are the things you tell us.
Second of all, why do you have to know our background in order to ask a question or questions? I don't get it.
If you're affraid of asking a question, then run run run ... quick... run.
But if you're just trying to be funny, then welcome to forum.

the new talk in the hall per my mom is that a twenty something year old sister is getting disfellowshipped because she's been attending the mormon church because she found a nice mormon boy that is interested in her.
since there are no jw eligible men around, she has gone over to the other side and will pay for it with the announcement soon.
word is---she just "needs" to get married.
Marriage between a JW and a Mormom means one thing: masturbation will never, ever happen. Alone or in communion.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....
we've had several very interesting threads going on about how those of us who are still on the inside can work to open the eyes of the witnesses at the district conventions this summer.
since people have been making scattered suggestions on scattered threads, i thought we should start a consolidated thread here that lays all the options out on the table for those that want to be a part of it.
here are the ideas that have stood out in my mind so far (please add any that i have missed): .
