i was deleted as the cobe after i let my adult child move back home and he admitted that he fornicated under my roof while my wife and i where away on a rbc project.
of course the elder mode in me kicked him out of the house.. the elders moved quickly to remove me because i was too involved in "theocractic activities", i had neglected my adult son.. i accepted this primarily because i didn't want to serve with a boe that did not want me.
i was devastated however because it was the only life i knew.
UBER - DUBS........HA HA HA HA......i will never get tired of hearing that......welcome my man.....its a place alot of us need.
JW life takes so much from a person, that we overlook precious PEOPLE, go get that boy back. ! ! My dad never shunned me, and i love him for it.♡♡♡
1st timothy 2 vs 14 .
14 and adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
oh, ok, so adam wasn't deceived by the woman, lol so hes so innocent?
today's wt study (nov 15, 2014 page 4, par 4.. the governing body in jerusalem sent the apostles peter and john to these samaritan converts, and they laid their hands on them, and they began to receive holy spirit.
(acts 8:5, 6, 14-17) .
there are multiple references to acts 15 whereby "the apostles and older men" were the governing body.. i have never noticed this applied to "the apostles" only in acts 8:14 before.. is this another new item to reinforce the concept of the governing body?.

my mom called me yesterday to ask how i was doing.
i hadn't seen her in a while, so it was nice to hear her voice.
we went through the motions of jw small talk and then she started telling me about her co visit from last week.
have you all read this weeks study article?.
oh my word it is full of fear inducing tactics....doom and gloom outlooks.... anxiety inducing methods to develop absolute control over witnesses and cripple them in any attempt to think for themselves!.
(notice i am saying "themselves" rather than "ourselves"?!
hello folks.....so in an earlier thread i started, you'd realize that my father and i are quite close, we talk about almost everything/anything.. he traveled outside the country (he's semi-retired), enjoying the fruitage of his hard labor during his younger years.
so he recently returned home after he and mum went away to catchup with some old friends in another country.. upon his returning home, and subsequently to the meetings, he was told that a decision was made to strip him of his "field overseer" role, but will still continue to be an elder.. the reason...he goes away for too long too often...you can't be away from your congregation for three months out of the year!!!???
has anyone else had this experience before?
Good for him, weeks after my dad giving half of his 22 acre ranch to the wbts.....they took his eldership from him.
His alzheimers keeps him from remembering alot.....but they sure did wait for him to sign papers first.
Good luck to your pops.......TRAVEL ON ! ! ! !

there's a lot of talk on here about changes the society must make, one of them being the announcing of sexual predators in the congregation.
i agree.
but do any other organizations do the same?
Registering as a sex offender makes it public access.
So why not make a PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT, and save some kids from some dumb lames.
