A bit reluctant
by saki2fifty ini'm a bit reluctant in writing this post, for i dont feel i should be here.
even a bit nervous... .
i've never officially dedicated myself to jehovah, but i was brought up in the truth, very strong, and at times when getting older, there were lulls in my attendance... yet to this day i still attend.

Mennonite article on JW site
by undercover inthe article about the mennonite family becoming jws is on the main page of the wts website.. http://watchtower.org/library/w/2005/9/1/article_01.htm.

NEW ANTI-PEDOPHILE LAW
by okoakridge inhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/07/20060727-6.html
the president of the u.s. has signed into law the john walsh child protection & safety act which will among other things provide 500 new federal marshals to fight pedophiles and create a new easily accessible sex offenders finder database.
the watchtower society has not cared to divulge the names of offenders among their ranks from the governing body down to the local kingdom halls but now human society in the u.s. is doing an end-run around them.

BE AFRAID OF THE ELDERS!!!
by minimus inthe elders now have the right to be involved in every facet of a witnesses' life!
they want your phone numbers, cell numbers, they are to be inquired of if you want to take a sh*t. these "good" men will turn into power hungry masters, if they are not already.
the society is taking control over every jw!
