  i was curious if anyone knew how to listen to talks like sinutkos stay alive to 75, or fred franz talk about how there was no 1st century gb.. i can listen to them on youtube but they are on obviously apostate youtube channels.

  i would like for my wife to hear them but cant do that on apostate youtube channels.. does anyone know if these talks are available in an online archive somewhere else?.

  "DATABASE. In order for the CO to make sure to NOT appoint pedophiles, without sending the info to the branch for them to check, there will certainly HAVE to be a database for him to submit names to. Databases can be hacked. Carry on..."

  In order for the database idea to work, it would have to be a live CRM that would be accessable to all CO's. They they all could update information as it become available... To convert the current pedo data base to a cloud CRM, would be a huge undertaking. Does the WT care enough to do that? I guess only if legal tells them to.

  Or the easiest way, would be as Blondie reminded me; just ask them before appointment if they are child abusers....Oh yeah. They will tell the truth!

  been lurking for years, but couldn't log on.

  for some reason, my email spam filter is inaccessable, and ended up having to open another account, simply to become a member... wonder how many others have had a similar problem.. its been an eye opener reading everyones life experiences, often so similar.. i was almost a born in, with a hardcore family.

  abusive stepfather who was one of the original jws in the area, so much so, that it was called the xxxxx family religion.... been out for 25 years, am glad every day for that!!.

  since being out mentally and missing meetings my children mention people from the hall and i cant help but feel bad that they are missing the association.

  my daughters are 4 and 2 and we live in a small town with not a whole lot to do.

  what activities did you do with your kids?

  Hi Blondie, You made me laugh. Certainly. They are so morally upright, of course, would tell the truth about participation in child abuse. (sarcasm)

  i am so happy to be out of the cult.

  i would never go back!

  i don't know some still could accept this religion, be here, regularly and not just get out..

  It was very hard to leave OZ and enter the into the unknown. It felt floundering for quite a while, but I knew it was the ethical thing to do. Contentment and happiness is worth the journey.

  Does this mean that the C.O. has access to the abuser database and check the name before appointment?

  Or does he just pick any brown-noser that he chooses?

  i was in my company truck again today, pulled over to the side of the road in a neighborhood, doing some measuring and looking for some survey markers.. a group of jw's were working their way down the street toward me.

  the 2 middle aged ladies were smartly dressed, one had brightly colored highly styled auburn hair and was wearing large noticeable jewlry.

  the brother was late 50's hispanic also smartly dressed in a black top coat and seemed like he might be elder material.

  Great story! It's always amusing to get a little laugh in. But they didn't get it, did they? Humor and field service do not usually go hand in hand. Thanks for posting.

  I know that in years past they had an official designated travel agency (usually ran by jdubs) but heard they discontinued using professional services. Who is arranging yhe ground tours etc and getting paid? Is the WT now in the tour business?
