Sad Family News.....

by AK - Jeff in

on friday morning, sometime before noon, my former son-in-law [for lack of better term, for he and my daughter were never married], father and custodial parent of my middle granddaughter, was found dead of an overdose of pain-medication.

perhaps oxycontin, though i am unsure of the specific drug at the moment.. he was enduring pain from an accident with his moped [yes, he was lifetime license removed for drinking] that occurred a year or so back.

his shoulder was injured and he had a surgery scheduled soon.

My deepest sympathies Jeff, hang in there.

CO will sit in on my "study" this week: any suggestions?

by InterestedOne in

in my "study" with jw's, we're in ch 7 of the "bible teach" book.

we did pars 17-20 last week.

this week, the co is in town, and my conductor is having him sit in.

Ask the CO, how are the leaders of your organization different

from the Pharisees and Sadducees that abuse the people. My

life is at stake, so tell me why should I trust these men when

they have been so wrong in the past.( 1914, 1975, etc.)

By belittling others it helps in elevating themselves.Miserable

people to be around. Everyday is A gloomy day for this type

of person. They are mad at the world. Every opportunity they

have to spread emotional distress, it makes their day.

Sound like the JW,s...

by easyreader1970 in

jw

i remember about twenty years ago some teenagers were caught fornicating in one of the additional schools.

the schools were downstairs, essentially separated from the rest of the kh.

they weren't just happened upon, though.

A guy walk in at the Circuit Ass., he sat down and within A few minutes

he got up and move too another seat. He repeated this about six times,

creating A disruptions (the sunday talk). I was working security so about

the 7th time when he stood up too move once again I approach him and

ask may I speak with you, so as we were walking out with three of the

brothers walking behind us, the man turn too me and ask, when will

James Brown perform, it,s this the James Brown show.

Lying about divorce reason to be allowed to re-marry

by Big Softie in

i know my view on this but would be interested to see what anyone else thinks.. .

at a court hearing recently my estranged wife, who left me (i'm not jw) asked me if i would be prepared to lie to her elders and state that i had committed adultery (i didn't) so that she would be allowed to "get on in her faith".

this from a woman who before she left got intimate (emotionally, i'm not sure about physically) with two "sisters", one of whom took to buying her large bunches of red roses and basicaly furnished her new house for her.. now my view is that she has clearly stated and put in writing that the marriage ended because of my unreasonable behaviour (i.e.

jam

I have told my story about my divorce, but did not reveal this. After we

where divorce after A year, we tried getting back togather... It did not

work. She told me the only way it will work if I became A JW again.

She pursued me, after A year( after the divorce) she showed up at my job

and wanted to talk. So we begain dating again( we were married for 16yrs.)

Well as I said it did not work. Once she found out I was not returning to

the borg. She went to the elders and told them she had committed

adultry with me, can you imagine, we were married for 16yrs. and four

kids. So it came out I took advantage of her. So last then A year she

was married to A JW.

End of the world is May 21, 2011

by observador in

hi guys,.

have you heard of this group?

take a look at the article.. it's amazing that journalists don't even mention the jw organization in this type of article, despite a rich history of this type of prediction and the number of followers in the us... just shows how irrelevant this organization has become.. article here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110103/ap_on_re/us_rel_apocalypse_soon.

jam

Prediction for the world end is A very profitable business, look

at the JW,s. You chances would be greater predicting Osama

Bin Laden location then predicting the world end. Last I heard

there is A 10million $$ reward on Osama. Hell, just pick A location

on the map and tell them I think I saw Osama, you might get it

right one day and collect 10 big one.

I heard of some brothers from Cuba where place in the detention

center(US) and brothers here in the states arrange for their release and

place them in cong. and jobs. Can anyone recall, did Casstro close all

the KH in Cuba at that time, and how is the work in Cuba today?

Watchtower = Elders can disfellowship people for being too FAT!!! Has this happened?

by Witness 007 in

watch 1974 p.167 "by disobediently overindulging in food and making a glutton of himself, he fails to show love for jehovah...if in the presence of others does he selfishly ignore there needs and take more than his share?

is he grossly overwieght but shows no restraint at all as to food, habitually gorging himself?

does he feel un-comfortable, perhaps even sick because of eating too much ...glutton has no place in god's congregation...they will not inherit god's kingdom...".

jam

A circuit overseer and I call on A lady that was housebound because of

her size. When we knock on the door she ask us too come in, this

was around 10 in the moring. We enter and there she was sitting

eating A whole chicken and bread. The whole time we were talking

she was eating. She was A glutton and obese. Then we have three

JW sisters, their weight 300lbs and above. Two were very active and one

not so active. I knew them well and they were not gluttons, they

ate the wrong type of food. In service you could tell which car they

were riding in, it would lean to one side or if two were in the car

it would be very low.
