If people (public and witnesses) only knew the details of what the serial pedophile/ elder "Campos" did...
The "man behind the curtain" would no longer be revered.

if a pedophile has cried before the body of elders, is it possible he can be trusted to watch over the sheep and be a valuable tool against satan's hateful apostates?
nobody is stepping up to the plate to fill the positions of ministerial servant and elder, using pedophiles might take the load off the four elder congregations and give personal needed shepherding calls to single mothers.

assuming they converted to being a jw that is.
because simply converting reigions or changing one's beliefs makes one an apostate by defintion.. just though i would bring that up..
I want to be "APOSTA GIRL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
cha ching!
NVR2L8: Great illustration, i think we all can relate to....
You 2 Flipper: ... except we DID have time for RBC work, now, didn't we? :-)
just wanted to introduce myself.
i've made a few comments here and there on the lovely jwn i started to wake up to ttatt this year.
basically, i'm a born in jw and was baptized at 16. lived a double life until i wa 25 and beat myself up about it constantly.
Awesome to hear you are free!!!!!
I have met many that were disturbed by having to believe two conflicting ideas at the same time...
Yes, and the BORG makes you feel guilty for about everything you do or don'tdo... or mightdo :-)
Yeah! you are young! Good for you! Congrats!
Cha Ching!
Very true...
I have felt this more and more and moreas time goes on.
You can't get to God, you can't have a relationship with Jesus,
(don't forget, no "mediatior") withOUT the GB.
It ISall about them... On and on, like a never
ending song that they sing about themselves.
i may be suffering twice for having left the jehovah's witnesses and watching my jw wife and other family members stay in.
once for the changed situation (or loss) and another time for expecting to make progress in getting over it.. the 1969 book on death and dying by elisabeth kubler-ross introduced us to the kubler-ross model , commonly referred to as the " five stages of grief.
" they are very helpful, but the original idea of the book and the hypothesis was that when a person is faced with the reality of impending death , he or she will experience a series of emotional stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.. it isn't always the case, but those stages are often felt by terminally ill patients.
I understand how you feel, and wish you the best.
the august 15 2013 wt is being studied this weekend.

# 3 newbie post.

have you ever seen a 4pg post where 21 new members reply!
Then there is me, Cha Ching!
Joined March of this year.
I am happy to see that others are able to see the hypocrisy of the WTBS
that I and my fam' did....
607 and overlapping generations was the beginning, and the "here's how
you can donate more and more and more" was definitely a show of
their greedy little hands! Life is much more happy now!
jws are in need of more kingdom halls in many major u.s. cities.
at this years agm where it is expected that most of the faithful will be able to listen to the meeting (being tied in by video), dont be surprised if the wts 8 gb members take part in a symposium delivering some long winded appeal, petition, plea, proposal, proposition, solicitation or otherwise hit-on the masses for $$$ in order to lighten the burden and overuse that many kingdom halls are experiencing.
an acquaintance from the west coast mentioned to me that in late august thru early september of this year that a number of pow-wows involving close to 5,000 elders from numerous areas (riverside, los angeles, ventura and orange counties) took place to drum up financial support from the 800+ (not sure) congregations in those areas.

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY...
YOU AIN'T GETTIN' NO MORE OF MY BLING$$!!!!!
this file is being passed around by jehovah's witnesses concerning adjustments in understanding the 2013/7/15/watchtower.
the first draft they prepared had a typing error, and nevada sent the draft back to the jws for correction.
they corrected the typing error and sent it back to nevada.
YaddaYadda: Yes! Thank you! That is exactly how my brain feels!
Remember the anti-drug campaign picture with an egg in the frying pan?
