My physically disabled mom attends one day assembly while excusing herself from her best friend's wake.
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmy mom has been physically disabled the last three years.she cannot walk without assistance,needs someone to cut up her food,needs help bathing and is either in bed,in a wheelchair or sitting in an electric recliner.my brother pays for her care while he's at work and takes care of her after work and weekends.. last week my mom calls me to tell me that her best friend of 50 years (who was not a jehovah's witness ) passed away.she tells me that the wake would be on monday night.i told her that i would help my brother get her in the car and stay an hour or so with them and help pay her last respects to her best friend's husband and 3 children.. she tells me that she would have a hard time getting in and out of the car and sitting at the funeral home would be too difficult.so,i decide to attend her best friend's wake to represent our family since neither my dad,mom and brother decide to attend.i attended the wake and told the widowed husband and the 3 children that my mom was sorry that she couldn't attend the wake due to being physically disabled.. i found out that my mom attended a one day assembly on that saturday.
she sat in her wheelchair from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to listen to the program.i'm pissed that she would miss her best friend's wake but attended an 8 hour assembly.my wife told me that i should of called her on why....." if she's so sick she could physically attend the assembly and not her best friend's wake.

Website crawling as of about 2 days ago
by EndofMysteries inas of two days ago, any time i click on a topic or move anywhere on the website, it's "waiting" for about 3 to 5 seconds for the advertisement or cookies, etc.
it's very annoying.
not sure if any change was made recently or not.

The misuse of historical objects/text to prove the bible is divine
by adjusted knowledge ini had a former high school teacher post on facebook about the cyrus cylinder proving the narrative in the book of ezra and daniel.
the article i clicked on was by some christian organization that states the cylinder proves that god moved cyrus to allow the jews to go home and worship.. but no where on this cylinder does it mention the jews.
yet all these people are commenting as if it is fact.

Have you ever experience suprise by an Elder that actually showed compassion and reasoning in a judicial committee?
by adjusted knowledge insome 25 years ago when i was an active teenager in the congregation there was this elder's teenage son that acted out sexually at a young age.
the elder's son i believe was molested over a short period of time at a very young age by another elder whose wife was dying of cancer.
the reason why i suspect it is because this elder was caught and discipline "privately" for touching the breast of a 15 year girl in our congregation.

Comic Books, Collector Cards, Coloring Books, Animation.... What other tools do they plan to use to indoctrinate children?
by adjusted knowledge ini didn't realize they had comic books and collector cards for children.
it seems they rail against the world about things and then years later do the same thing.. i remember talks blasting comic books, and other similar teaching devices the local southern baptist would use.
i can recall an elder holding up a comic book about burning in hell from a local church and blasting that religion.

Have you seen other JW quote or post links to Richard Dawkins and others like him? I find it humorous.
by adjusted knowledge ini have very few active jw on my facebook, mainly the more liberal ones.
anyway a few of them have posted links or references to richard dawkins and other avowed atheists.
today a long time jw posted a link from the richard dawkins foundation blasting the celebration of easter as pagan.
