  i often wish there were more smileys and symbols to chose from!

  isn't there anyway to add more?.

  for instance, now it would have been great with a christmas tree but i guess a palm tree will have to do.

  Two Or More Witnesses Policy Still In Effect For Elders In Child Abuse Cases

  by PublishingCult in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  despite its assurances to the media reporting on child sex abuse cases, the official wtbts policy on dealing with child molestation in the congregation has not actually changed.

  the most recent direction given to congregation elders in dealing with child molestation allegations can be found in the 2010 revised edition of the secret for-elders'-eyes-only manual, shepherd the flock.

  this direction is in direct violation of the law regarding how ministers are to handle allegations of child molestation.

  ks10-e (official release), Letter from Bro. who scanned it! Newer version with BOE LTRs

  by yknot in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while an earlier version was made available privately the time has come to 'progress'.. conscious class and ex both strongly adhere to not keeping things 'hidden' in regards to wts publications, talks and documents which are circulated in order to maintain it's position.. another wonderful poster (who has yet to give me permission to name) has 'reduced' and 'bookmarked' the first full copy link i was given by our 'winner'.. in this newest and final 'clean' copy link you find two other additions besides the reduction/bookmarking..... the brother who uploaded the entire book wishes all to have a copy that includes both boe ltrs (pre-ks ltr and spiral binding ltr).

  also another development has occurred.... the brother responsible for this book being brought into light and put forth for public consumption and discussion has requested i post this letter explaining to 'us' (jwn posters/global audience) and 'them' (wts of penn & ny).. i ask you give attention to his words/ experiences as he is representative of a newly emerging demographic within the conscious class.

  so without further ado i give you his link and the 'stage' if you will to 'brother johnson'....... [link removed - contact ynot for further info - lady lee].

  I would invite them in for a drink, alcoholic or tea/coffee etc. and nibbles.

  Hoping for an interesting discussion/argument to ensue!

  BUT I know they won't come near me; because they know I know they lie (big time).

  Birthdays not mentioned in the new elder's handbook

  by Robert7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just noticed this today when i was replying to another thread.

  the new elders handbook doesn't even mention the word birthday, even though there's a big detailed chapter on offences requiring a judicial committee.. is it possible that celebrating birthdays is officially, according to the 'law', allowed?

  i can see this being the case, where technically you're allowed to, but you would just get judged like crazy..

  Re. LV101's post above:

  *** w98 10/15 p.31 Questions From Readers ***

  Consequently, while it is entirely a private matter if Christians choose to take note of their wedding anniversary,

  there are good reasons why mature Christians abstain from celebrating birthdays.

  Why Jehovah's Witnesses Are Discouraged From Using the Internet

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at a recent series of circuit assemblies, the governing body put out warnings on what in their view is the latest danger from satan, designed to break the faith of jehovah's witnesses everywhere.. facebook.. yes, thats right, apparantly, the gb is concerned because a lot of people are having "facebook sex".

  they are meeting old friends who aren't jehovah's witnesses and getting it on with whomever would willingly sleep with them.

  evidentally, the gb would like their flock to believe that when jw's get on facebook and other social networking sites, fornication happens.. now, this is news.

  "In recent years, technology has sparked a revolution that has had a profound effect on youths. For example, in many lands the cell phone and the computer have become a lifeline of the adolescent social world. Social networking sites have opened up a whole new world of possibilities. “You can be relatively friendless in real life and then suddenly have hundreds of friends online,” says a 19-year-old girl in Australia."

  http://www.watchtower.org/e/200810/article_02.htm

  “A social networking site is like an online party,” says a girl named Joanna. “Some very scary people can show up.” The personal information posted on social networks can be exploited by unscrupulous youths and adults. Thus, Internet safety expert Parry Aftab calls such sites “one stop shopping for sexual predators.”
