  "The 1986 Watchtower article speaks about certain Governing Body members who had to resign due to rumored sinful practices".

  Not in anyone's defense but I don't believe that 1986 article gave any names or stated anything about "certain Governing Body members".

  It's not right to refer to something that may be assumed but is NOT written. I think it said, "prominent ones" and did not name names. There have been many "prominent ones" who were not Gov Body members in addition to the non prosecuted and non-convicted persons named by Caminante. Lurkers may look up the reference and see that assumptions are being read as quoted material, thus losing any faith in the comments found here.

  The awful treatment of my disfellowshipped cousin still continues

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  my cousin was disfellowshipped twenty years ago when he was 18 years old.

  he admitted to the congregation elders that he was fornicating with his ''wordly'' girlfriend.

  the elders were following him and hiding in their cars to see what he was up to.

  Divide and conquer seems to be the intent. Criminal organization.

  Nudity in the movie "Roma"

  by Wonderment in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the movie "roma," a man is shown making some martial type moves with a sword totally naked.

  and the scene is not so brief, giving a clear glimpse of his private parts.

  it is a very graphic scene.

  At her most sarcastic my mom referred to the male member as a tallywacker.

  if you haven't seen it already, skip to 1:14:30 in lloyds video and watch the craziness unfold.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2y7f7-k5wo.

  i'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.. they're digging themselves a great hole here, in about 30 years time they'll be claiming this video was a mere "speculation" and that "some people" got the wrong ideas..

  Unspeakable arrogance - As Usual

  today's wt para 1. if you are a young person, you have likely received much advice about your future.

  teachers, guidance counselors, or others may have encouraged you to pursue higher education and a lucrative career.

  jehovah, however, advises you to take a different course.

  Let's face it, Capone was doing many criminal activities including murder but they got him on tax evasion. The money always trips these idiots up.

  Is The Person Who Helped You “Get Into The Truth” Still Around?

  by minimus in

  i helped, unfortunately, many people to become baptized jws.

  recently, over the last few years, i saw many of my students who were still “ in the truth “ lament that i was no longer associating or active in the faith.. i do feel bad that i did such a good job that most of them still are in the cult.. are your teachers still around or did they wise up and leave the lord’s organization?

  ?.

  Interestingly enough, the people who taught me the religion are both family, elderly and have proven to be mentally ill. Hopefully I got out in time.

  so obviously the best way to leave properly is fading, that's a given i would have thought?.

  however i'm in a situation where i'm not sure what to do... i've just left home, nobody bar my parents / gparents know my address.

  at my parents request they asked if i would switch my cards over to the closer kingdom hall.

  When off the radar, stay off the radar. Don't talk about it and don't poke the hive by attending.

  Favourite New Film

  by jhine in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  l recently went to watch green book , which l thought was excellent , it had everything , it took me though the whole range of emotions , from anger to joy , laughing then wanting to cry .

  the quiet dignity of dr shirley mixed with volatile nature of tony lipp and seeing their emerging friendship was wonderful .

  what really shook me was that these attitudes existed in my lifetime , not that long ago .

  Read my post again Toby and don't be so lazy. I know of the controversy but the movie is a bio pic which are often full of fiction. It stands alone as a work of art. It has a point and it made it. People were exposed to the Jim Crow south and that's a good thing. It was a very good movie. Of course you could sit and pout that it wasn't perfect. Ok. There's always the Lego movie. There's something for everyone.
