  A New Servant's Position ???

  by Bonnie_Clyde in

  a brother in a distant congregation tells us that in his congregation it was announced the society has appointed a brother as some sort of overseer of public talks.

  not clear if it was all talks or just the public talk.

  he understood it to mean all public talks in the circuit.

  TThat would be the "Public Talk Coordinator". It's been that way for years. Nothing new to see here keep moving.

  why can't we get shows like star trek anymore?

  by cptkirk in

  seems like the original star trek was almost universally enjoyed.

  from the kooky music theme 'space.....ahhhhh ahhhh ahhh ahhhhhhhh ahhh', the upbeat message, the deep subject matter...the chemistry of the characters.

  you remember being much younger almost felt like not a care in the world?

  I liked Eureka a good deal. Warehouse 13 is fun. Honestly, you have to remember that Star Trek was a flop when it came out. It was in reruns that it built an audience. It coinsided with the space program in the U.S. and that had a lot to do with it as well. There was a unity of thought about space being the "final fronteir" at the time. Space hasn't panned out as well as we'd hoped. Now its all impending doom or nothing. That's why I like Eureka. It was hopeful and yet a little techie. (tekkie). Heroes had its day as well. We seem to be looking for something from within rather than from outerspace.

  Serving where the need in greater - and leaving the "truth"

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower

  a few years ago , a very zealous 30 ish pioneer couple sold up & moved to central america to serve where the need is greater.

  they were the classic incredibly "enthusiastic for jehovah" types who had deliberately not had any family & led a very "simple" life to focus on kingdom interests.

  they were very very close & always worked together in the ministry.

  If they are in a land where they are not familiar with the language I'd imagine that the lack of repeated indoctrination would free their minds to think for the first time in many years. Maybe this clarity of thought burst the bubble and they let their libidos go? Also, many stay together because of "the Truth" despite mutual hatred. They might have seen their chance and ran with it.

  Who designed cancer?

  by snare&racket in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing i regret, is not listening to the questions in my head whilst a jw.

  one i didn't ask until years after leaving was....who designed disease?

  of course the first thing to realise is the complexity of disease, the histology, pathology and aetiology.

  "How do you guys explain how the banana fits perfectly in one's hand?" Ok then, how do you explain how the banana fits perfectly in one's ass? That doesn't mean a thing. Damn fundies are all the same even if they are reformed JW's.

  Granted Aussieoz but they at least report on the process and do refer to the plaintifs as "Alleged" thus and so. Why is there nothing even in the news referring to the case or the "alleged" actions of the plaintifs? I just don't get it. I'm waiting but having a hard time being patient as you can imagine.

  It seems that there should be some local media coverage of this situation. So far we have Steve's version and the minimal court records. Court records are irrefutable, It seems no one is able to confirm all the statements made by Steve Unthank by independant sources. Please post some independant sources otherwise this is heresay and not of any value other than pissing people off who already have a hatred and distrust of the Borg no matter how valid. I want it to be false because I don't want to think any children were harmed. There seems little hope of that in the JW world. Again, please post an investigative report by an objective 3rd party. Until then we can't quote anything in Steve's articles as athouratative. No active JW will accept these reports until the court records sustain them as accurate. Keep fighting Steve.

  australia, breaking news: police launch investigation into the rape and molestation of a number of children with the traralgon congregation of jehovah's witnesses.

  jw news can report that victoria police have launched an investigation into the rape and molestation of a number of children within the traralgon congregation of jehovah's witnesses over the past two years.

  according to initial reports,... the body of elders were strictly ordered by the watchtower bible and tract society of australia to cover-up the multiple rapes of a number of children within the traralgon congregation allegedly committed by a fellow member of the jehovah's witness religion.

  "Being a pedophile helps a man inside the KH" That's a pretty general statement and one that doesn't read true. Though the fools don't act on reports it doesn't mean its a plus being a pedophile. Thank God (if there were one) for Uthank and his righteous indignation leading him to take action as he has. He will be helping protect many children and expose the 2 witness system for what it is, unloving, anti-innocence and evil.

  Any social order that gives authority to others is prone to abuses by sociopaths.It happens in families, the workplace etc. Now if you were to emphasize the fact that one should never question even egregious abuses of power by those appointed to positions of oversight because JW's must suspend all common sense & ability to call bullshit, you would be exposing a unique aspect of the Theocracy as preached by WT. No one may question the sociopath elder's demagoguery. Suffer & wait is the mantra.
