  Disgusting!!

  so, about a decade ago there was a big scandal in my city concerning an young elder raping his 13 year old sister in law.

  the elder got reproved but was never turn over to the police.

  the girl's mom was an immigrant and very uneducated and decided it was best to forgive after the elders, whom one was the young elders dad, instructed her to remain silent and rely on jehovah.

  long time lurker, first time poster here finally looking to get some things off my chest.

  i've always been a very curious person with tons of questions about everything, and i also care deeply particularly about societal issues like social injustice, racism, and homophobia.

  that, coupled with how boneheaded all the elders in my congregation are (except for one), led me to ask even more questions that led me to find ttatt.. .

  we have essentially the same message the Westboro Baptist church has. The only difference is they say it to your face BEFORE they recruit you. We slip it in AFTER...

  Nice comparison. At least old Fred and company had the decency to let you know what you were getting into up front.

  Enjoyed every word of your post.

  Welcome!

  The GB is sharing the windfall. All properties belong to the King and his kingdom. As executors of that kingdom, the $1 billion from the sale of Brooklyn properties will go to all Christ's brothers, his fellow slaves... which are represented by the faithful & discreet slave.

  Isn't the governing body in the process of building themselves a new house as we speak?

  Watchtower Dec 2014 page 4

  by Mr Fool in

  2. bible

  wt dec-2014 page4: "a bulgarian woman named irana rigthly observed, -it is not posspible to be close to god if you don t know his name.

  ".

  if so many know his name, why this debate "jehovah vs yahweh" then?.

  How does knowing an entity's name make a relationship possible where no two-way communication exists?

  " Do not ask permission, just play the video--" service meeting instructions.

  by prologos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this statement startled me out of the pleasant mental absence during this week's "service" meeting.. pushing the org.

  explanation: "the listener has time to interrupt, if they want--" .

  together with an incredible boring "study" of an hand held device, or it's stored content, i will be a totally new crop of orgies at the halls,.

  would it be impolite, daring to reach over and press the off button?, when a jw has intruded into your private space?

  Great idea. LOL You can push any button you want. It's YOUR front stoop.

  Let me get this straight... the J-Dub is supposed to just stand there holding an iPad while a video plays. No talking, no human interaction, just... stand there shuffling his feet while the video plays, maybe occasional eye contact, a raised eyebrow, nods, "Eh? Eh?"... More nods...

  I would feel incredibly awkward doing that. I think I would rather stumble through a hideously ill-prepared VERBAL presentation.

  i am thinking of turning my house in to a ex-jw meeting place, getting bar, pool tables, ping-pong, foseball, pinball and kegs of beer on tap.

  big screen singles pad for the local ex-jws to visit and hang out.

  will this bug all the jws who live near by me, do they get weird around known apostates?.

  Reverse Shunning

  someting happened yesterday that i thought might be noteworty enough to relate to you here.. mrs. eyz and i were invited to my new boss's home for his annual end of summer party.

  it's a pretty big deal....his is a name known locally (i'll call him j.r.) a really nice interesting guy who's held a number of high level and politically connected jobs.

  there was to be music, dancing, wine and reprotedly lots of well dressed, well educated, well to do and influential people (oh yes...and us) in attendance.. anyway we thought we'd make an occasion out of it and got ourselves spiffed up which involved new outfits and extra mirror time before we left home.
