What did I learn today about this, 1) the place where the camp was is called "flood alley." 2) a flood like this happened 40 years ago (so not one in a 200 years as some have claimed). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeBVpB40pVs&ab_channel=CBSTEXAS

I agree, jwleaks, I have had a very small part helping, but Barbara has carried a big load with others, educating lawyers to the inner workings of the WTS, and giving of her time, energy, and jumping into this working with victims/survivors of the WTS policy on reporting CSA. It has been a long road to get to this place. So I am very sad, that some can't acknowledge that. It has been a team effort, but Barbara and several others have given a lot of their life to this.

I saw a problem right away, at least probably not a problem for the WTS, room for there to be more overlapping, to infinity.

JWs can toast now….what’s next
by FFGhost inso you can see from multiple topics here (& elsewhere), based on gb update #4, jws now have permission to toast.. there’s been a boatload of “xyz is now allowed” over the past couple of years….beards, no ties in field service or at the kh, sister can wear pants at the kh & in field service…... what do you think is next?.
a lot of folks are speculating on birthday celebrations being allowed, and i agree that will eventually come, but i don’t think it is next.
too big of a jump.. heres my guess:.

What Did You Do For Fun That You Felt The WT Frowned Upon?
by NotFormer inin the light of the lifting of sanctions on glass clinking and recent threads on chess and dvds of lord of the rings, was there anything you did for fun, as a hobby or for recreational purposes that you felt might be "taken the wrong way" if it came to the attention of the elders or sister busybody?.

LHG, "Example: you being told that somebody in the congregation is offended or ‘stumbled’ because of something you said, did, wore, etc… Therefore, because of Christian love, consideration, etc., you will stop doing the ‘offending’ thing.🙄 (Then again, you might stubbornly continue doing whatever and the control freaks will hate you.)😉" So true, always one but usually many, who do this and the elders can't handle that person, afraid of them, and rather pressure the one that person that was criticized to change. Like you, I just kept doing it; I didn't care what the elders thought of me on that point, so no power over me. As preferring to be told what to do, some jws are afraid of the elders that if they displease the elders, it is the same as displeasing their god and then that person won't get everlasting life on earth. I was raised in the jw nightmare, but was not obedient, come from a long line of "disobedient" female jws.
