I just heard on CNN, that the Pope will visit victims of child sexual abuse by clergy. Maybe some will contrast this compassion with the filthy, self-centered scum in NY that sit around a table trying to figure out how they can get their members to believe that they have the best policies !

by Gorbatchov intoday i read a news topic about the pope in the us.
of course, we were all indoctrinated that the pope is the devil himself.
but, did you see a gb member or a local wts official ever giving attention to a paralyzed witness?

What's the craziest thing someone INFORMED on you about?
by Londo111 inthe culture of jws as encouraged by the watchtower is one of informing on one another, reporting to either the elders or ones designated head.
whats the wackiest thing that someone reported on you?
im not talking about a black-and-white watchtower rule that would land you in a judicial committee, but some judgmental nonsense that someone thought they should turn you in about?.

One elder would joke around with me all the time. He was a clown type. One day he made a remark to me that was humorous. The remark was about me. So in a joking manner, I pretended to choke him. He laughed. The next meeting, I was transported to the "back" room with two elders saying that this individual had reported me for physically attacking him. I was lost for words. -

DATA-DOG 2 said:Just imagine the ass kissing going on right now! Imagine those higher up the food chain who are desperate to remain at Warwick!
Couldn't agree more. I personally know a couple who live for Warwick. They are 50ish. They think they are sooo special. Warwick was going to be their ticket into Bethel. -

I know many people that were in the same situation. I think sometimes we overanalyze the question why. It is easy to wonder, "what did I do?" We have a tendency to blame ourselves. In reality, many are just selfish, self-centered people. Many men simply want the wife to be there for them. To serve them. They only love themselves. Most likely he would have treated anyone the same way. Now it is time to take care of yourself. -

Calm Down Everybody, We Will Know Soon Enough
by OnTheWayOut inseriously, they will change the midweek meeting ever so slightly.
it is just repackaging of the same old stuff.seriously, we don't know if construction is halted for days, weeks, months, forever, or what.. we don't know if new kingdom halls will still go up, old kingdom halls will be closed and sold.
they have laid off bethelites before and they will lay them off some more.

I believe all of these changes are a calculated move simply to distract from the Royal Commission, financial woes, and other negative factors. Even those with cognitive dissonance, could easily think "God's organization is on the move". -

Massive Bible contradiction of the Draw Close to Jehovah book. Or Jehovah is not loving.
by Island Man in"love...does not rejoice over unrighteousness.
" the new english bible here reads: "love...does not gloat over other men's sins.

Why did you choose Jehovahs Witnesses?
by vinman ini'm wondering why ones on this forum initially became jw's.
if you were born in, why did you make it "your own"?
if you became one later, what was your draw and driving force?

I'm wondering why ones on this forum initially became JW's. If you were born in, why did you make it "your own"? If you became one later, what was your draw and driving force? I'm not really looking for comments from ones who were born in and never believed it, or ones who were never baptized. It simply is a question of curiosity and may have a common thread. -
