The cult of confession
by megaflower inhow did you feel about telling(confessing) to elders either about yourself or something you saw that the society considered a sin against the organization?
personally, i never did because i always questioned most of the elders motive.
i did not want to be a busybody but there where many in the kh who were always monitoring others activities.

Judicial Committees....
by AllTimeJeff inthis isn't especially thought out on my part, but i wanted to put this out there.
it's more about elders, and how some who had to handle judicial committees could at least be as reasonable as possible, or total idiots.. many have been mistreated by a jc.
in fact, i bet that just by agreeing to disfellowship someone, i have contributed greatly to a few peoples emotional and spiritual misery.

Why doesn't it occur...
by crazycate inwhy doesn't it occur to my friends and family that.... for one hundred years (give or take) we could prove via scriptures and greek translation that the generation jesus referred to meant that no one born in 1914 would die before the end came.. then that changed (in 1995), but we were able to prove the new "understanding" via scriptures and greek translation.. now the "understanding" is changing again.
but i'm sure we can still prove it via scripture and greek translation.. what will we be able to prove next?.
