  New rules from WTS to restrict use of internet?

  by Nowfree in

  2. friends

  i know of a presiding overseer who has recently got rid of the modem and internet connections on his pc.

  the reason given was that he didnt use it enough to make the monthly expense worthwhile.. but i wonder?.

  have there been any local needs items or talks recently about whether it is wise to use the internet?.

  i was just reading over there and thought some of them should really think before they post!

  some real jerk posted this: umm, don't count your time spent eating lunch - unless you witness to the waitress.

  give her a real tip - how to get into the new system.. .

  Sigh....it gets old

  by Calico_Cat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ya know the bickering, flaming and fights happening here has become so stale--i would rather eat my 4 day old rotten fish.. why can't they just take it outside?

  that way they don't clutter the board with useless info.

  Well, gee....

  i've been reading in search of christian freedom this past few days (my hublet and i bought isocf, coc and two of carl jonsson's book--which my hubby love to read).. anyways, i've finished reading the legalism chapter and was kinda amused at the real story behind the change in baptism questions in the 80s.

  i was baptized in '77 and my hubby got dunked in '89.. so, i basically can walk away from it all--and get this, i can threaten to sue the elders because i wasn't baptized into the organization.

  but my hubby have to da himself because the jw is his ecclesiastical authority.

  Gender discrimination?

  by teejay in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  sixty minutes covered this story a month ago and meet the press brought it up again this morning when rumsfeld was interviewed.... when stationing troops in foreign countries, the u.s. military tries to abide by the rules of the country.

  in saudi arabia, the custom for women in public is that they wear an abaya, a floor-length, long-sleeve, loose-fitting garment that covers everything but the face.

  air force lt. col. martha mcsally filed a lawsuit against the pentagon, arguing that the policy was discriminatory because men are not required to dress in traditional muslim garments.. when interviewed on sixty minutes, mcsally was so offended by the garment that she would not put it on just to demonstrate what it looked like.

  Please form a judicial committee...

  by SexyTeen in

  2. friends

  seeing that most of those on this forum love to judge others (although the complaint is that jws do the same thing), i am willing to go through a judicial committee.. if you see fit not to forgive, please disfellowship me and shun me.
