it was weird to hear it from my brother (an actual sibling brother, hehe) that an old man in their congregation, who was an elder as long as i knew him.
and a very kind, sweet, funny man, was disfellowshipped.
i am trying to figure out why.
One of the signs of the true religion is the love that would be shown. So a guy spends all of his life folloing the wbts Jehovah, then because of one little thing when he gets older everything is lost, no matter what he done in the past. Sounds very loving to me.

"Many of my clients would have rather seen Father Geoghan serve out his time in jail and endure the rigors of further criminal trials, so that his pedophile acts could have been exposed further," he said.
This mans victims have a life sentance, he's released from the pressures after only serving 18 months. In prison he would have learned what its like to be frightened(When the others learnt what he was in for) and to have no-one to turn to. It might have made him more sympatheic to the victims of abuse. What about the man who killed him, no matter what someone has done are they worth serving a life sentance for? And the prison staff are going to have a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the murder. If there was any slight thing that could have been done differently, but they didn't, they face the sack and possibly criminal charges against them. This is just for doing their job. Sorry for venting, but this is something I feel really strongly about. That said, I don't know the details of the case. If he could possibly have been wrongly accused, Ifeel so sorry for him. To be wrongly accused of something likew that would be unimaginable.

When I got home I decided to have a drink(The first since Emans barbie!!!), and now its put me in such a good mood. I'd forgotten how much I like southern comfort. I also have a bit of a weak spot for rum. What drinks do you like?

every congregation keeps records on each of its publishers, but how much information do these files have?
is it a case of copying the numbers from your report card each month, or more than that?
how much notes are taken from a jc, and are these held on a proforma as a record, or are they more handwriten notes to jog the memory of the committee?
but there are many reports of people past 'transgressions' being documented.
So is this just of jc offences, or is it like a record where each elder can add his own bit about what has gone on?

I thought you said "those poor balls" at first. either way, that dude's family tree just stopped at him
If he's stupid enough to get into a fight with a bull maybe its for the best.

three pages of this month's insert are dedicated to the article "let us keep our place of worship in good repair.
" yes, that's 38 minutes of service meeting time devoted to instructions on cleaning and maintaining the kingdom hall.. aside from just the utter ridiculousness and infantilization of this, what really struck me was: "when was the last time that there was a three-page insert on visiting the sick?
" if the wts devoted half as much organization and attention to such a basic christian duty as it does to the cleaning of the kingdom hall, the organization would be a better place.. i know, nothing new.
Helping the sick, visiting the lonely, including a 'fatherless boy' in your family outing -- none of these are sacred service.
The problem is these things are unseen, so why put effort into something the newbies won't see and therefore can't be used to impress them.
