he told my husband ?i don?t care, i just need to know is this the truth or not?
i just don?t understand why.
once again i was asked a question that i could not answer.
It is a very well written letter.
Isn't there some danger in posting it here that it could be read by someone from Mordor Patterson? The background info could put him in an awkward position and affect their response (Elder Swat team).
He sounds so genuine that I'd hate to hear he got mashed.
desert island discs is a uk radio show which has been running since 1942. the idea was to interview personalities who would become "castaways".
they would be sent to a desert island with a choice of 10 pieces of music (and the means to play them), 1 piece of literature (excluding the bible or the works of shakespeare) and the choice of taking 1 luxury item.. so let's play!.
my 10 musical choices:.
You're cheating by taking albums!
it always takes at least 2 witnesses to accuse a brother of wrong doing.
if there is only one witness, it's the word of one against the other.
but if there is a camera that films the wrong doing, could this camera be like a second witness, or does it have to be like the bible says, minimum of 2 witnesses to accuse.
There was this one brother i kew of who was smoking and had been seen repeatedly by individuals but had always got away under the 2 witness rule. Eventually he was seen smoking by a brother who was carrying a camera and was dfed as a result of the photographic evidence. He was a litlle tosser too.

does anyone have any tips how to resign as a jw elder without being disfellowshipped or disassociated?.
thanks.. ken
Tell the PO you're depressed. Give it a few weeks then tell him you resign, no need to put it in writing. That's what I did 2 1/2 years ago.
Good luck.

has anyone ever had any dealings with some of the uk district overseer's such as david algar and paul presland.
i remember listening to them speak at circuit assemblies and you couldn't hear a pin drop.
just wondering if they are still do's?.
David Carter married a pioneer divorcee 30 years his junior. They are in a Glasgow congregation.
David Algar may have charisma but he's a bit of an arrogant chump in my opinion. Reminded me of Ron Drage, a smoothy business man.
i know this has been discussed before but i think a fresh thread on this will be enjoyable.

Glen's breakdown was after our circuit (SE Scotland) no doubt brought on by dealing with a disastrously corrupt body of elders. Afterwards they even changed the name of the congregation. That was over 10 years ago, and he did go back on circuit before retiring.
i know this has been discussed before but i think a fresh thread on this will be enjoyable.

Glen and Sally McFarlane are off circuit work and I think they're in a congregation in the north east of England now.
we've probably all had bad experiences with defective building or repair jobs, but our reactions would never have reached the limit to which the borg has gone.
in one of the wts' study books, the r&f are told:.
"with just as much zeal as ever for the house of god's worship, the heavenly high priest jesus christ will see to it that the closing words of zechariah's prophecy are fulfilled: "and there will no more prove to be a canaanite [or, tradesman] in the house of jehovah of armies in that day"- zechariah 14:21. the designation canaanite was synonymous with "tradesman".

"plonkers" - now there's a word I haven't heard in a while! And so appropriate. Having said that, I used to say there would be no industry or technology and that after A it would be a return to living like Abraham, but I only said it to freak out all the big fat Western softies.
