Clinging to power or saving mankind?
by Philippus79 indear sons of adam who are also sons of abraham, .
we have a warring as paul said between our flesh and our spirit.

The Governing Body: very busy?
by Awakened07 ini have a couple of gb related questions.. in crisis of conscience, ray mentions several times the way decisions are (were?
) made by a voting system.
having been brought up in another country (not us), i was rather surprised at the kinds of things they would decide; ray has a few copies in his book of letters from various congregations, letters that sometimes take up quite personal matters concerning a couple of people in one single congregation, for instance.

I'm writing a letter to my brother
by Layla33 inthere has been something gnawing at me for a while, something that not until this morning did i bring to the forefront of my mind.
i come here mostly to read what others are doing and offer support, distantly check up on the latest news in the wts - i say distant because a lot of me doesn't care whatsoever.
i haven't been a jw for 18 years, my family has long accepted that - we went through our fights, disagreements, but now it isn't a big deal.

"Mad Men": Recommending a great TV show

most of the shows i watch are biographies and forensic science; however, this show is amazing.
if you get the chance, check it out.

i wrote a letter to the jw wife of the man that abused my child,
by looloo inshe is standing by him!
she does not believe he did abuse my child , even though he is serving a prison term for abusing other children(my childs allegations were to difficult to proove , so the cps dropped the charges despite believing her allegations ) i do not understand why she would believe him , when the reason she is with him is because as a child she played with his daughters and eventually he made a move on her .
before her he had abused other friends of his daughters (the elders never reported it to the police )his 1 st wife divorced him , then he married her and she became my friend , which is how he got to know my child .
