did any of you guys sit down and read this??
it's long but i assure you it's a great read.. .
Hey guys, it's a DEPOSITION. It says that in the title of this thread on on page 2 of the linked transcript.
Ashe was not on a witness stand in a court room. This is out of court testimony.
It's part of the discovery process pre-trail. There was not a judge present.
The attorneys voice their objections for the record so they are there if and when a trail occurs later.
just out of the blue i asked my wife whos been a jw for some 30 odd years can she explain the overlapping doctrine.
she said to me she never heard of this and said she will have to look it up.
i thought oh s#^%!.
What percentage of the JW world do you think dont know or can explain this doctrine
No one can explain it. It's nonsense.
in your time of being a witness, have you witnessed a jw experience death of a loved one due to refusal of a blood transfusion?
i know this is an extremely sensitive subject and can reopen deep emotional wounds.
if you're willing to share, i am interested.
game1914over: If this has happened to someone that you know, how are they dealing with it or have dealt with it through the years? Is there a sense of guilt or regret? Or have they just put it all behind?
Life goes on, but you can never put something like that behind you.
For those that wake up, the sense of betrayal by the organization which we trusted is overwhelming.
The leaders of this religion make ridiculous demands of their followers, yet they NEVER take any responsibility for their actions.
i have to share this with you.. after leaving the borg i had to concentrate to solve so many personal problems (financial, child custody, etc.
) that it left me with a poor social life.
i just didn't have the nerve/time to make new friends.
It's like a twist of the knife from "the God of Love."
and they left the congregations, would you then feel open to be thier friends?.
many on here have the same complaint, that in the jw congregations, there were clickes, no one had time for each other,.
people judged, there was a lack of association, freindship , true concern and love were lacking.
TTATT = The Truth About "The Truth"
just wondering if any one has heard from ones still asleep, what their feedback has been and what comments have been made by the rank and file??.
.
.
DB, Tony you are a douche
No, Losch is the douche, Tony's a Turd.
Otherwise I completely agree with you!
DB: Really sad that a meeting that was supposed to encourage became a trigger for a depressive episode.
what do you say, bible gurus???
a relative asked me what i thought of the zone visit.
i am in the process of gathering my thoughts.
Vidquin: I just think there will be quite a few waking up to TTATT, with the way things are going, so one should go easy on them.
Agreed.
Vidquin:By reasoning logically from the Scriptures, one could point them in the right direction.
Agreed! But you can't get to logical reasoning by half measures. A form of argument that is "mostly logical" is still illogical.
Vidquin:Also it has become clear that their leadership has become totally disconnected from reality.
And agreed!!!
do they have to tell the r&f every little detail???.
from the new wt:.
what can be done to assist brothers and sisters who suffer from adverse reactions to fragrances?any who are sensitive to fragrances face a difficult challenge.
Where the problem exists and local circumstances allow, it might be possible for the body of elders to arrange for those who are sensitive to fragrances to sit in a somewhat isolated area in the Kingdom Hall.
I quit going. Problem solved.
does a female kingdom publisher need to wear a head covering if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher?.
in a questions from readers item published in the watchtower of july 15, 2002, it was stated that a sister should cover her head if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher, whether he is baptized or not.
further consideration of the matter suggests that a modification to this direction is appropriate.. if the male publisher who accompanies the sister while she conducts an established bible study is baptized, the sister would certainly want to wear a head covering.
Further consideration of the matter suggests that a modification to this direction is appropriate. She only need to wear a head covering if her Spanx are visible and/or the brother is wearing tight pants and colored socks.
For the sake of the "Kingdom Good News," the expression "colored socks" means any color other than black or white, although white socks are generally inadvisable for a brother even though white shirts are evidently preferred.
what do you say, bible gurus???
a relative asked me what i thought of the zone visit.
i am in the process of gathering my thoughts.
Vidquin: If you want to reason with a Witness without using Scripture, you will be wasting your time.
In my experience, trying to "reason" with a JW, with or without scriptures, is a waste of time.
The vast majority live by this mantra: Listen, Obey and Be Blessed!
