NEW BOY- Thanks for filling us in on the smutty unethical weirdness that goes on in Bethel. I'm sure that there are thousands of stories like this. It's interesting to hear it from someone firsthand who was there. Now I know why my older JW brother is so strange- he was at Bethel for 8 years from 1967 - 1975. Like I say all the time it's a criminal organization. Take care guy, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

We are living in the 21st Century , When , Are We Going to Bury Religious Superstition ? Once and for all ?
by smiddy inthe christian bible / cannon is different , depending on what religion you profess ,around the world.. russian orthodox ,greek orthodox ,christian gnostics ,roman catholics , polish national catholics ,c.of e , etc,etc,.
the very many christian bible translations that exist today differ according to different interpretations of the translators.. the jewish translators of the hebrew scriptures add a whole new concept to the traditional interpretation by christian translators of the old testament... throw in the mix all of the fundamentalist religions that have sprung up these past couple of centuries including the j.w.`s , s.d.a.`s , mormons , t.v.
evangelists , etc, etc,.

A quote of Lucius Annaeus Seneca:
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

I'm getting a wave of sadness over me now that I'm realizing David Bowie is really gone. Thinking about my teenage years growing up listening to him among many other artists I listened to growing up . It's only fitting to put up this last CD of the song Lazarus from his final album just released called Black Star in which he seems to be letting fans know he is on his way out of this world. Very touching you tube kind of creepy- but very touching also. It really touched me deeply . My eyes are getting moist .

What a tragic loss and a great singer and songwriter. Just a wonderfully talented man who adopted many different styles of music. Many people don't know that he had Stevie Ray Vaughan playing lead guitar on his songs " China Girl " and " Let's Dance " in 1983. It really added a cool dimension to those songs indeed. Here's China Girl :

It amazes me...
by punkofnice in..to think about how the congregations actually function....even down to the individual level.. the biggest bully on the boe (or his wife), controls the show.. ones within the congregation are treated like they're dirt and still they return.
stockholm syndrome?.
i've heard ones say that 'jehovah(tm) will sort it all out.

PUNK- I'm right there with you my friend. I agree with every word in your opening post. I as well was an eyewitness firsthand of this bullying that goes on inside congregations as my own dad was a City Overseer for years. I can't tell you how many rank & file JW's were intimidated by this man. Just his overly serious demeanor or way he carried himself authoritatively intimidated people. I was never intimidated by him whatsoever - he looked at me as his " rebel " son- one reason I still don't get along with him to this day even though he's 90 years old. He doesn't like me because I'm NOT intimidated by him ! LOL. I expose the shit he pulls on people through the years and he can't stand that I'm honest to a fault. But I saw lots of other elders and D.O.'s and C.O.'s this way also.
I agree with you - I truly believe many JW's suffer the " Stockholm Syndrome " as they are unwilling to call to account their WT Society slave drivers for the crimes they commit against children with child abuse lawsuits out the ying yang going on. Rank & file JW's just make excuses, " Jah will handle it " . Yeah right. Jah must not have much power then because thousands of JW kids are getting raped each year- it still continues. And JW's basically keep making excuses for it. Thus rank & file JW's become complicit IN those crimes because they stay stuck in the Stockholm Syndrome aiding and abetting WT leaders who DO allow the crimes ! It's a criminal organization run by criminals protecting criminals. Take care Punky Peace out, Mr. Flipper
