i'm assuming a jw because of the language in the article..... cynthia miller, the accused who is from olympia, wash., appeared before a judge in thurston county superior court for a probable cause hearing through a video conferencing this week, according to kirotv.com.. miller was ordered held on $40,000 bail after the hearing, during which she appeared confused and at one point denied the allegation.. the probable cause affidavit against miller states she would force her granddaughter to stand in a corner of the family's apartment holding a bible over her head even as other family members would shout "jehovah.
" two other children lived with miller and her husband.. the girl allegedly had bruises and burns on various parts of her body as well as several old fractures to her arms, legs, fingers and toes.. miller and her husband were often angry with the girl and thought she was stealing from others in the family and was evil, according to neighbors..

I could not work in any child protection service. I wouldn't be able to handle it. There would be no professional detatchment for me.
Bless those who can do it.
is it true that jws are buying old churches (from christendom) and then turning them into khs?.

It's okay. As long as they shampoo the demunz out of the carpet they'll be fit for true worship.
a few minutes ago.

i occassionally study with him when i can tell he's feeling guilty about hanging out with me, but it's been months since i've seen him.

Nope!
I didn't even know about these things when I left. I never knew about the questionable 607bce year, the teaching that Christ had already returned pre-1914, the UN scandal, the blood issue, pedophile paradise, Rutherford was a drunk, the cover-ups, flip-flops, deceptions...
Found out all that afterword. I just about threw my neck out twitching over all the "ah-ha" moments I had after leaving.
they society wanted these people in china to put a good word for them to legalize the work in the communist land.
the officials said, they just couldn't get the officials to do that but would put a good word for them anyway.. the sh*t these people dream up!.
Do the Bethelites possess special knowledge of computers?
God's chosen people can become experts in anything. Remember how Jehovah bestowed special knowledge to the craftsmen when building the Ark of the Covenant? Well, clearly God wants the Chinese to become his Witnesses so it's hardly inconceivable that he would bestow upon a few Bethelites the internationally sought after skills of computer geekery.
That's really phenomenal.
any one out there doing field service?
i have not gone out on that day in years.
and have no intention of ever doing that again.
A leisurly drive through the Smokies. Maybe a slot machine at the Cherokee casino. Dinner at a little mountain top restaurant we like.
Not much snow this year. Should be pleasant.
so, harold camping has died at the age of 92. no more end of the world predictions from him.
he apparently went into hiding after his last predictions didn't come true..
Who now will issue Judgment Day predictions?
Apocalyptic appeal will not die out. It makes for great theater with dozens of movies like Terminator, Armageddon and 2012, not to mention the Y2K and Mayan calendar hype. It's too exciting to let go.
These religious nuts know how to make money off of it as well as Hollywood. That's all they see it as - as marketing gimmick... BECAUSE IT WORKS!
Who will issue judgment day predictions now? Feel free to hold your breath. I don't think we'll have to wait long.
i've been out the organisation for around 8 years.
when i first left, im positive that i suffered from some sort of post traumatic stress.
i was very angry at myself for accepting the really bad parts of the religion that i strongly disagreed with.
Sounds like you're in a pretty good place despite the confusion. Just roll with it.
This time let YOUR understanding of the bible lead you instead of having your understanding dictated to you. If you get stumped on something, ask around. Get different opinions. Keep what makes sense and toss out the rest... always ready to reevaluate later if necessary.
No rules.
No time slips.
No theocratic BS.
