Another example of how ridiculous new doctrine etc is. If the FDS is God's channel, then they would always be 100% in agreement...(I mean God would relay same important info to all)

Governing Body two-thirds majority
by wannabefree ini believe current count is 9 gb, so that makes 6 out of 9 for it to be so?.
how about two-thirds when all 10,800 or so are given a say?.

When you fully believed it was the truth .
by Broken Promises indid you intend to leave your estate to the wts when you died?.
in several threads ive read, ppl make comments to the effect that theres no point leaving money to jws, because they would just leave the money to the wts anyway.. .
this is an assumption that i believe is a generalisation.. .

Nope, never. My children are entitled to/deserve their inheritance. The WT doesn't need more riches, with the 'End' being imminent and Jehovah providing.

JW's being asked not to marry?
by life is to short inok another poster just went to the two day assembly and i just went to the one day special assembly day sunday.
at both of them it seems there was strong words against getting married.
they had on the stage a group of young men about three of them an older sister who is not that attractive but she is really nice, of course not brother would give her the time of day, and this older brother who is in his 60's and nice but very strange.. they all went on and on and on about not getting married.

They need to marry to breed new WT-fodder, as recruitement cannot be an option anymore.

I once knew a sister that was extrememly talented in cake decorating (and baking...some people can bake but the cake tastes like crap).... she even worked for a bakery for a time...
How can JWs be bakers..? What if a customer wants a birthday cake..? Petty, I know, but you know how pedantic dubs are....surely it would offend/stumble if a JW had to decorate a birthday cake..?

I imagine a slightly overweight single pioneer in her 30's with two cats and one eyebrow made that.
Hilarious...and all I thought was, 'for WHAT special occasion would they go to the trouble of making that..?'

Do you Know of any JW Pedophiles who Currently Go Out in Service ?
by flipper inmy wife suggested this thread and i agree it's a good idea to put this out here to find out.
just wanted to give her credit for the idea.. most of the public have no idea that some of the jehovah's witnesses people calling at their door are a previously convicted sex offender or pedophile who may have served hard time in prison for their crime.
it would be interesting to have an informal survey here and get an idea of the sheer numbers of these child molesters who are out on the loose.. in your opinion - how would the public react if they knew that child molesters were regularly calling on their doors ?

BrokenPromises...ooops. Blondie suggests in 4th post that the WTBTS has an official policy of not letting JW abusers go door to door since 2002 (and the Porter case was 2007). These men are on the Child Sex Offender Register, so any unsupervised contact with a child would be in breach of that (I'd assume). It makes sense, therefore, that anyone on that register would not be able to do door to door as this would bring them into contact with unsupervised minors. I'm sorry, I don't think I've answered your question properly.

Broken Promises - the picture in the above link (about half way down) appears to show Michael Porter out in the ministry.

Most Annoying Things That Happen At JW Meetings
by LittleSister intoday i was remembering how angry i used to get at the meetings and all the little irritations that in the end would just make my blood boil these included:.
prayers that go on foreverstudy or wt conductors still taking comments when its clear that the point has been covered 20 times alreadymeetings over running by more than 5 minsmy favourite was this one elder who would play guess the point i am thinking of.
he would keep rephrasing the question from the wt until someone would bring up the point he was thinking of.

The two hour mid week meetings, where little kids would be expected to sit still WAY past their bedtime, and if they didn't could expect to be dragged out back for a 'good hiding'. As soon as a child was lifted from his seat, he'd start bawling the place down as he knew what was coming to him. Operant conditioning..? I'm thinking Pavlov's dog :(
The endless prayers
Gawd yes...we used to have one elder who used to fall asleep while he gave the prayer...he'd just suddenly go quiet, lol. I actually liked him. Generally prayers are so insincere and are padded out with repetative 'Jehovahs' (I ended up counting how many times I heard Jehovah during a prayer and used to start sniggering).
rockmehardplace - great, so your kid can repeat what you say.
Bingo...and that is how the whole 'religion' works, by parrot-fashion repetition of what is printed in a WT. Start as kids and continues into adulthood....by which time it's second nature.
