I'm looking for the verse that says that shepherds will be like wolves fleecing the fold.
by Tempest in a Teacup ini remember reading it in a forum member's post, somewhere last year or so.
the poster said she (i think it's a she) quoted the scripture to one elder and told him that it applied to him.
could you please help me with this verse?.

Jehovah said he will start the cleaning from his own house
by Tempest in a Teacup inthis very popular quote came back to my mind today when i was thinking about what jws in the third world country where i live would do if they should hear about the australian abuse story.
this has been the one explains-it-all, excuses-it-all phrase to respond to nasty things going on in "god's house".. if they should hear about the story, they would just nod, say that phrase and add the sentence that traditionally accompanies it: it is because he is well aware that there are rotten elements in his house, so we shouldn't be surprised...and then they will move on with merrily.
end of story.

What did you think of the ones that married, “Out of the Truth” but would still defend the WT Teaching?
by John Aquila inwhen i conducted the wt study and the article was on marrying only in the lord, it seemed that the ones who commented the most were persons who married a non-jw.
in fact, they were the ones that always told the young single jw girls to pioneer and never marry a worldly person.
"because i know what its like and believe me it's no fun" .

I thought that it was what every single jw does: cherry picking. The bad becomes good when I am the one doing it.

I Felt Proud Telling People That Michael Jackson Was Raised a JW
by Tempest in a Teacup ini just remembered this thing this morning:.
sharing the same faith with the king of pop made me feel important for belonging to this religion, even if he was never baptised.
we were not in america or anywhere close by.

I just remembered this thing this morning:
Sharing the same faith with the King of Pop made me feel important for belonging to this religion, even if he was never baptised. We were not in America or anywhere close by. So it came as a real shock to many that the Michael guy used to go to field service.
It kind of gave me some type of social importance.
It was always a hit with my high school mates and kind of kept them off my back or at least reduced the mockery. I anticipated and relished the effect on them. lol
Did you also experience the same feeling, or used it as a way of showing people that this was also the religion of some "important" people?
