WT lawyers
by bebu inplease help me understand something about wts lawyers.. are they hired by the wts, or are the lawyers expected to volunteer?
this question was not answered to my satisfaction on an earlier thread, because i know that most dubs weren't going to college for the longest time, and then how many of them would go on to law school?
how many of these would be crackerjack lawyers?

Would You Like It If The Elders Called You To See How You're Doing?
by minimus ini read how some seem to complain that the elders never visited or even made 1 call to see how they were doing.
would you really want the elders visiting and calling you at this point in time?

That's a really interesting question from the perspective of an elder, also! How do elder's feel about calling on people whose pattern of attendance has change or who have given other indication that something is up? The impression I've gotten is that elder's only call or call on someone when they're trying to get them off the books. Is that right? When you were an elder, did you tend to let people go their own way or did you feel an obligation to "shepherd." Did you genuinely care about the flock or were you only focused on the "cleanliness" of the congregation as a whole?

Organized Dub Rave Parties...Easy sex optional!
by yxl1 inmy wife had a long drive home from north yorkshire with her younger brother (who is a dub) last night.
she was asking him questions about his social life and was very surprised at his response.
apparently, each week in london some brothers organize raves in various hired nightclubs.

Why the terror about JWs gathered in groups of any size for any social purpose? I mean, I know it's about control, but what's the "scriptural basis?"

by skiz ini don't know if anybody else has brought this point up yet on these different 2034 threads but ...
their watchtower article that linked armageddon with the flood, said that the flood came 120 years after judgment was passed

Gerard, that cartoon illustrates that painting yourself into a corner isn't exactly fatal,doesn't it? That poor goon just waited for the paint to dry, filled in the corner, then painted over his footsteps as he backed out. And here we are! 1914? What 1914?

MANY QUESTIONS,Few Satisfying Answers.
by Blueblades in"nature is mute,we question her in vain.we need a god who speaks to the human race."voltaire..
throughout human history,tragedies and disasters have raised questions in peoples minds.today, many wonder how a good and loving god can seemingly remain passive in the face of so much suffering and injustice.. confronted with the reality of famine,war,sickness and death,many reject outright the notion of a creator who cares about mankind.nothing can excuse god for allowing the suffering of a child,unless,of cause,he does not exist.by far the simplest explanation for the holocaust ie.auschwitz,is that there is no god to intervene in human affairs,ie.the genocides in rwanda in 1994.. many questions,few satisfying answers.why does god not intervene to prevent bad things from happening?is it possible to believe in a god who stands by helplessly while millions of innocent people die and whole populations in the world are massacred and who does nothing to prevent it?.
where is god?

Perhaps it is not that nature is mute, but that we don't like the answers so we keep looking for ones we are happier with?

Did I get the wrong Christmas Ornaments?
by Elsewhere ini have a small tree so i got a package of small ornaments that are about 2 inches in diameter.
when i bought them i did not notice that the tops do not have hooks like i expected, instead they have very small loops.
these loops are too small to slide on to the branches of the tree, so am i supposed to use little twist-ties or something?

One year I invited a friend and her new beau to come for dinner and help decorate my tree. Little did I know that he was an ex-JW and had never done a tree; it turns out neither had she, for other reasons. All was well, until it came time to put away the decorations. Each and every ornament they had put up, was carefully affixed so that it took for-freaking-ever to get them off. Gee, I'd never thought of twisting those hooks around themselves. Sure makes for a secure ornament!
