SPECIAL SEATING ARRANGEMENTS FOR ELDERS AND ELDERETTES ARE HERE!

by AuntConnie in

we have special seating arrangements in my kingdom hall where other families know they are not to go near them!

a trouble making family would intentionally take our seats until we made their life hell by lying about them.

they left our paradise kingdom hall and now i am working on changing the color of our the seats(purple, scarlet) the elders and elderettes will be sitting on.

The story of Bo Juel Jensen - the man behind the Anti-Watchtower media campaign in Norway

by cedars in

hi guys.

richard e. kelly has kindly contributed a great article to jwsurvey.org on the link below.... http://jwsurvey.org/child-abuse-2/bo-juel-jensen-could-he-be-watchtowers-worst-nightmare.

richard tells the story of bo juel jensen, an ex-witness who has been doing marvellous work in raising awareness of watchtower child abuse mishandling in norway.. as with most child abuse victims, bo's story is a disturbing one.

I had watched Bo's compelling youtube video a couple of weeks ago and now his full fascinating story. I feel that many good things will come out of bo's campaign. I am looking forward to the unfolding of this scenario. Bo's story has the propensity of being the next Candace Conti.

As always Thank you Cedars for bringing it to the forum's attention

Good Morning MSConcerned: My heart goes out to you. Don't give up reading and learning. You owe it to yourself. I haven't read the whole thread and apologies if someone else suggested this. See if you can read Ray Franz's books: Crisis of Conscience and In Search of Christian Freedom. Those books will put together all the pieces of the puzzle for you.

warm regards,

hello everyone, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.. i am a mid 30's just stepped aside elder, who just couldn't handle it anymore.. i am a 3rd generation born-in and former pioneer and bethelite.

it has been a log somewhat confusing ride for me, but i am finally settling in to realizing that i need to really look at what me and my family are doing.. .

its funny though what really got me here... it wasn't the 40 year old men telling me they were looking at boobies on the computer and hoping not to get in trouble, it wasn't the watching young people bail left and right, it wasn't the ever changing new light etc... but a simple thought.. .

30 Hour Aux. Pioneering ... 2 or 3 times per year

by RubaDub in

am i understanding this correctly?

you can do the 30 hour package either 2 or 3 times per year, depending on when the circuit overseer visits.

here is the way i get the new rules:.

All those years that watchtower made the rank and file slaved for 60 hours a month and now 30 hours is enough. I hate what this organization does to people.

what is the earliest age you heard someone get Baptised?

by enigma1863 in

i was curious what is the youngest age any jw has been baptised.

i thought it was hypocritical for jws to say wait for marriage because its such a big deal but "why wait to get baptised".

i think my step sister was 11 years old.

About 5 years ago, a very prominent elder gave a talk specifically targeting young people. He said that 10 is not too young to get baptized.

Baptisms at a young age are encouraged in the org. A fellow poster on this thread pointed out that we woun't allow a 9 or 10 year old to drive or get married, yet its ok for babies to get baptized. What a farce! I have what this organization does to people especially children.
