And elderly woman who lives across the street from me has had some hard economic times. Her adult son got injured and had to move back in with her due to his inability to work. They are struggling. I haul their trash off so they don'y have to pay for a service. Sometimes we and others help out with utilities, meals etc... The son, Kieth, and I have had several nice chats over the split rail fence.
Recently their car went on the fritz. Their little church down the road bought them a small used car that runs fairly well. I couldn't help but think about how individual JWs would have certainly pitched in in such a case... but the congregation as an entity would have NEVER done such a thing. Never!
EVER!

Tight pants again.
by Driving Force injust a short observation from several in the congregation.
it's only hearsay because i do not go to meetings, and this is what i have been told.. the co wore tight pants in the ministry and on the platform.
as one sister said, "you could see everything".. but like i said its hearsay, i never saw it, but i did have a giggle..

I don't understand this. I have always worn loose-fitting shorts and pants and with boxer shorts, you can still make out everything. It kinda goes with the territory of having a piece of skin that sticks out in the front. (Not trying to be graphic here.)
Is the suggestion being that men should strap it to their leg?

"How would you like to live in a world where there is no sickness and death?"
I really thought I was helping people. While I never worked the hospital gates (the idea never occurred to me), my indoctrinated mind would have thought it a brilliant idea for encouraging the downhearted.
I was so blind to the reality of our nuisance. I guess the sincerity of intention is why I'm able to forgive myself and move on.

Will Jehovah`s Witnesses join with other religions in Compensation Payouts ?
by smiddy injustice mcclellen asked g.jackson about compensation for victims of child abuse , and mcclellan suggested it be by a consortium of groups , presumably religious and secular in nature as a pool to dispense approppiate compensation to all of the victims involved .. g.jackson hesitated and said they would have to look at the details of that proposal , before committing to it.. jehovah`s witnesses consider themselves as the only true religion and ,all others as false religion .. they take pains to separate themselves from from any association with other religions , not even being included in newspaper notices about church services.they want to keep themselves separate and distinct from false religion as they see them.. so how do you think they will handle this suggestion / requirement ?
will they join in aligning themselves with "babylon the great" in compensation .?.
didn`t they align themselves with another religion in the u.s.a. some years ago , that had to do with the w.t.

They take pains to separate themselves from from any association with other religions , not even being included in newspaper notices about church services.They want to keep themselves separate and distinct from false religion as they see them.
Until they get caught up in a child sex abuse cover-up scandal and then they just want to blend in with the rest of Christendom as if they are nothing unusual, different, distinct. Just a normal, average religion with normal, average problems just like everyone else.
"Nothing to see here folks."

Today's WT glancing at the opposite sex is flirting and therefore immortality
by purrpurr inin today's wt study it makes the point that just glancing at the opposite sex is flirting and can lead to sex!.
so are jw's now to wear blinkers?.
also jw's are told to go and confess to the elders if they have any immoral thoughts?!!.
