i saw the recent video that the borg put out about the trial in russia and how pleased the russian brothers were that a member of the gibbering booty, brother sanders, came to support them for six days.
well, there was a one-day delay in the trial which enabled the russian witnesses to have the memorial in their kingdom halls.
well, brother sanders was very quick to point out that it was very evident that jehovah intervened to enable the brothers to celebrate the memorial.
The "brothers" in Eritrea [Do you even know where that is Sanderson] have been languishing in jail there for years !
What have you and your Co-obese cohorts in the Ivory Tower done for them ?
Ah.....I forgot - there are no tangible assets in Eritrea !
Such a selective God you espouse !
on my way home from work today, i saw the modern day pioneers having a grand old time, relaxing in the sun.
two sprawled on one bench and the other two talking up a storm, with their iced cappuccino, just enjoying the day.
the two carts were a number of feet away.
yep ! Like em good ol days !
a disfellowshiped brother wrote a letter of disquisition to the governing body of wbts a little while ago.
it was not in any way nasty, derogatory, rude, blasphemous, or with profanity but it was civil, truthful, & very informative that some have described as extremely truthful to enlightening, an ebullient disclosure.
i got to see some paraphrases extracted from it that have been circulating quietly or rather secretly passed around & i agree with the latter description.. the governing body was greatly perturbed, alarmed, to confused with this letter particularly as they became aware several of the congregation were also sent copies which some of the local congregational elders raised controversial questions about but mainly was dismissed by them without reading, to scoffing & ridicule but some also saw something more truthful to concern them.
You have a copy of the letter? Please post it.
How did you come by this info btw?
this is from the website of the daily mirror - a british 'mass-market' red-top tabloid.

in the words of simon: "peers morgan was editor of the mirror and forced to resign after they published faked photos alleging that british soldiers were abusing iraqi's (around the time of ahu ghraib).

the following is a txt message i just had with a jw about why i decided not to attend meeting.
i fully realize that this will get me blocked.. jw : you dont want to answer me why you dont go to the meetings.. joe : ok.. (1) the 2 witness rule in the handling of a accusations of child sex abuse.. (2)the covering it up and out of court settlements that they are making to victims of sexual abuse.
unfortunatley the brothers and sisters are totally unaware of what is going on and the magnitude of it.. (3) the comments of geoffrey jackson when testifying before the australian royal commision on its handling of child sex abuse.
Ok ..."damage done" - which is all relative anyway as to what you are prepared to "lose or keep" -
If they subpoena you for the JC then contact a lawyer and send them a letter which states that the lawyer will now be representing you and that he / she is requesting all the Documents/Charges/Evidence etc etc in preparation and that in the interim they refrain from making any remarks, announcements, gossip about you and your family.
This was my recent position too and they took flight ! [they have to send your lawyers letter to Bethhell and Bethal will respond by telling them to drop all proceedings, BUT they will still shun you [as good as if DF'ed] -
So ...what are you prepared to give up or lose ? It will be a Stale-mate position~
I was already being shunned totally so I had nothing more to lose ~
hope this works .
was listening to this on youtube today.

i read on another thread how this site has helped another user and that for them it has been a form of therapy.. for me yes, jwn has most certainly been a form of therapy.. i recall the days i first came to jwn (in 2004) and couldn't believe i had found people who were of the same opinion as myself in regards to the society.
it was this site that led me to reading ray franz's book 'crisis of conscience' which i read twice within a week.
it also led me to jw facts that goes into every nook and cranny regarding the society's teachings, policies and history.. note: i also visit many other sites and watch you tube videos a lot, but gravitate here most of the time.. coming here to express my inner most thoughts and feelings has helped me no end and allows me to overcome my frustrations.
Therapeutic ......yes!
Although Shock-Treatment is also a therapy right ? So you get all sorts of therapeutics here.

i'm not really sure what this charity 250 index is trying to do.
partly because i'd expect a few big household name charities to be on it at the top.
i've copied the table below - see positions 19 (up from 70) and 130 (up from 202).
