  Ron de Rooy - will he review his performance at the RC?

  simply amazing to watch.

  the restraint shown by the judge and lawyer is breath-taking.

  i'm sure they would like to pummel these idiots with a sledge-hammer, but they choose words instead.

  All they can say to delicate questions: "I don't recall."

  Are they all suffering from Alzheimer's disease?

  last week we had the cos visit and i wanted to share my experiences with you.

  some background info on me, i knowttatt and am fully awake, my wife also knows my doubts and read a few things on the internet but she is still 100% commited to the truth, saying everything on the apostate sites are lies.

  so right now i am in just to keep the status quo.

  Wow... just wow.

  I think this substitute co (will probably be your next co) is worried or cares about the truth of the abuse cases.

  He no doubt will follow the royal commission infos.

  This is a good way in order for you to gently point your wife to the royal commission facts. They can open eyes, wake jws up without a word.

  Did the Governing Body sucessfully fend off this bad news on thier TV Broadcast??

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  remember there was a talk about not listening to "false stories" about sexual abuse from apostates on jw's fantasy station?

  did the governing body put it out there as preemptive damage control because they knew this was coming?

  they must have had subpoenas giving them a heads up.

  Of course they knew about it. That was the only reason AM3 spoke in the broadcast of this month about child abuse.

  I am sure though they didn't expect it to go viral around the world with every big media station reporting about it.

  THE GREAT TRIBULATION STARTED; but only for this organisation.

  Family Reuinion and Being Disfellowshipped (sorry...but it's long)

  by babygirl30 in

  2. friends

  it has been a long looong time since i posted on here, but never ceased reading all the posts and keeping up on the changes that have been going on!

  but it just seems that now i have a need to get something off my chest, and this is the one place that will most definitely understand the topic at hand.

  i have been disfellowshipped for about 8yrs now, and have dealt with the 'consequences' of that decision: all my so-called friends in the org left and i was also abandoned by my own family.

  You are very courageous.

  Maybe try to think of your parents as victims of this indoctrination. Maybe this would help not to be angry.

  Demoted from elder to MS, anybody ever heard of this?

  by Naoscillator in

  so a friend in a nearby hall told me their co came through, and in a hellish week of long meetings and inquisition overhauled the boe.

  only one remains as elder, three were re-appointed as ms, and one, the cobe was deleted entirely.. two new elders were brought in as new secretary and cobe / watchtower conductor, respectively, and introduced to the congregation from the platform on sunday immediately following his second talk.

  he reminded everybody of the authority he has and then named the new appointees.

  When I stepped back as an elder (reason doubts) the Cobe first wanted that I continue serving as a MS.

  I told him that my doubts are too strong. After debating, the boe accepted my stepping back.

  I think the question is not if it is in US branch or not. The rules are the same for all branches.

  If the co thinks that those elders are better in their positions as ms, he can suggest that to the branch, or maybe just decide it for himself

  Hi Ricky

  I feel for you and hope you manage to have a good family if you and your wife are both tolerant concerning religion.

  Concerning your kids I encourage you to read the book "Raising freethinkers - A practical guide for parenting beyond belief."

  This book especially chapter 3 contains excellent advice how to help your kids become freethinkers and how to counteract on religious indoctrination.

  I wish you all the best.

  it had been raining and i could smell the pine trees nearby.

  god wasn't necessary.

  the clouds cleared and the sunlight blazing from above paid out a bonus in the puddles at my feet.

  Yes... you could be wrong...

  Maybe god is all around us, within us and in nature itself.

  But I am glad that you feel happy.

  What kind of errors in the Bible?

  by TheWonderofYou in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the new testament specialist daniel wallace notes that although there are about 300,000 individual variations of the text of the new testament, this number is very misleading.

  most of the differences are completely inconsequential--spelling errors, inverted phrases and the like.

  a side by side comparison between the two main text families (the majority text and the modern critical text) shows agreement a full 98% of the time.[18].

  The new Governing Body is liberal. they are really freeminders!

  by rege brazzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  dear friends, your posts are very good, but we really think that they will change many things soon...for example.

  watch tower now are feminist and they protect the gay cause.soon we will have many gay marriages in kingdom halls.you will see.that governing body is really cool.ted jaracz and john barr were the last puritans in the governing body!.

  the current governing body is completely liberal, but as yet has some bethelites the old guard working, they are still holding some behaviors .... but very soon you will see ... even in my congregation is very liberal ... not here disassociates for immorality .. just for apostasy ... i fucked three sister, but the elders did not shunned me, but they only help me!
