A Naughty JW Joke
by metatron ina man commits loose conduct with a sister in his congregation but feels guilty about it, so he confesses to an elder.. "brother, i committed a serious sin when i got involved with sister hottie.
however, i just rubbed against her and didn't put it in ".
elder: "well, brother, your loose conduct is still a serious committee matter and so, rubbing up against her is the same as putting it in.. i suggest that you pray for forgiveness on the matter ........... and perhaps, just to show your appreciation, you could use the .

The Convention Is OVER!
by B_Deserter inthankfully i was able to milk my cold this week enough to skip friday.
saturday i sat with friends of mine and was able to sufficiently tune out everything i heard.
there was one guy giving a talk that looked just like david koechner, one of my friends wrote a note to me that she could just picture him with a cowboy hat yelling "whammy!

Your comment is spot on.What they say and what they DO are two completely different things.Similar statements have been made by them in the past.They very well might verbally discourage such actions but when the WT goes to court they slyly say: "We're innocent ! It's right there in our book for the whole world to see ! We clearly don't discourage such things as some might accuse.Obviously the friends didn't follow our direction ! " They won't voluntarily change anything unless it serves their purpose. They're lying, cheating, cold deadbeating, two-timing, double dealing mean mistreating, scum."In rare instances, one Christian might commit a serious crime against another--such as rape, assault, murder, or major theft. In such cases, it would not be unchristian to report the matter to the authorities, even though doing so might result in a court case or criminal trial."
So they seem to be changing things. Of course, what they tell the bodies of elders and the congregations are two completely different things on many occasions, so only time will tell if this helps the situation. -

angels are directing jws in the ministry - of course!if you don't answer the door - god will kill youif you don't listen to us - god will kill youbrainwashing of minor children is a real winnercalling on empty houses may seem like a waste of time - but to dubs it's the work of angelsfor the bethel drone monitoring this post - wake up and smell the coffee, before you're made to leave your cosy brooklyn office and hack the streets calling on empty houses.. you can be sure lett will be right behind you!.

An Abstract Thought About The New Order

He'd probably send an angel with the 'Holy Bug Bomb' or perhaps one of the GB would disfellowship them from the house ?

Notice how the one "brother" mentioned all of the the college educated skills they could use if you went there:computers,drafting,engineering,etc.The report also mentioned how the WT owns 33 buildings there.

Need Help, Hubbys Mad at Elders and I Need To Get Info for Him...
by cognac inhubbys brother is not baptised and faded.
another girl in the cong - same thing.. they just announced both of them as no longer bap't publishers.
from what i've been told, that's not just an announcement to just let the cong know they don't put in reports- it's like there d'fing them or marking them or something.. anyways, in order for elders to do that, they are supposed to at least attempt to meet with the person.

The frustration and arrogance he WILL encounter when confronting the elders may do more good than harm in getting him to see what they really are about.
It sure helped me
I would certainly agree with that.Any info shared with the elders in an effort to show they didn't handle things in the right way is likely to be met with arrogance and a similar response of: "We're sorry you feel that way, but this is how the FDS wants things handled." Then they starting viewing with suspicion the person who questioned their decision.Just another day in JW world.

The Douchiest Phone Message In History
by Elsewhere ini'm giving you until a 3:00 pm deadline to listen to this phone recording and post your thoughts on it.. http://www.holytaco.com/2008/06/27/the-douchiest-phone-message-in-history/.
in all my years of studying douchebaggery, never have i encountered anything like this.
its such pure and unadulterated douche that i wish i could bottle it and use just a drop of it at a time.. the back story on this is that a girl named olga was out with her friends in the marina district of san francisco (known for being a popular hang out for douches), and she talked to this guy named dmitri for all of two minutes.

Well, Dan, some of that is certainly true, but would you REALLY want to be with a slut like that ? Giving bj's to guys in bathrooms and doing it the back alley ? Men and Women who behave like that have no respect for themselves (and consequently none for the person they're with) and are basically walking STD's.No thanks ! You deserve better than that.There still are women out there who are also tired of men who play games, act like that and treat them like crap.
It's true that some women like to "fix" guys, or go for the "bad boy", but a lot of that has to do with the confidence guys like that show and the fact that he doesn't act desperate and cater to their every whim.A guy whose main concern isn't what other people think about him is attractive to a lot women, as long as it's not taken to an extreme---such as,no respect for others.Confident and Nice are not mutually exclusive, it's just that sometimes it can be difficult for a woman to find a man with those qualities ( like a backbone); so she's willing to put up with the other crap too....until she can either change him, or find the guy she really wants.It's just that creeps like these like hang out at the "meat markets" because mad cow disease is okay with them, they'll take it anyway they can get it...

part of what the prosecutor said: "this case makes a bold statement to any religious organization that we are not going to allow you to abuse confidentiality privileges in order to suppress the confessions of child molesters," said strunsky.
"the stakes are way too high.

What an asshole.I'm so tired of religious organizations trying to hide behind the clergy-penitent privilege which really originates with the Roman Catholic "seal of the Confessional".They claim to follow God but they hide behind a wall of deceit built to conceal their own sins.Thank goodness there are good people trying to prevent abusers,and those who protect them, from hiding behind a loophole that protects this criminal scum.
