At my congregation back in the 80's-anything by Michael Jackson was banned because he DA'd himself. It was mentioned that it would be like inviting him into your home to visit if you played his records/cassettes. And I LOVED me some Michael Jackson-still do.

My favorite is the one that every 'wordly' person is evil, selfish, hateful and greedy.
LMAO--JWs are the epitome of clean wholesome living, girl or boy next door type, sitting round in a circle playing guitar... I've never been around anyone playing a guitar unless he was on stage at a concert-LOL

If the message is so urgent, why do they use the door-to-door prominently in their preaching? Wouldn't it be more effective to use the television, internet and radio? If there was a tornado or tsunami coming and we tried to let people know by ONLY knocking on the doors , how many would survive?
Probably not too many.

One made the Dean's list both semesters. My youngest is in the National Jr. Honor Society. They haven't been to jail, gotten anyone pregnant and are polite, respectful young men.
Raising them outside of the restraints of the JW religion was one of the best choices I made as a parent.
Please share your parenting success story....

Holidays
by Flat_Accent innow it's been a good 8 months since i told my parents i no longer considered myself a jw.
things have settled down to an extent but the hurt is still there - they think i'm going to die and as such are overly concerned for my safety.. in november i met a gal online and we've kept contact.
a few months ago we decided i would come to visit her for a week.

Known Pedophile takes young boy to bathroom at circuit assembly....WTF?
by QuestioningEverything inmy mil's circuit assembly was this past weekend.
she came over for dinner to our home after the assembly.
in conversation, it came up that a known pedophile was seen walking to the bathroom holding a young boy's hand-no relation to the boy at all, although that wouldn't make a difference!

"QE, so is this 'James' guy reinstated?"

Here is the link to another JWN's story about this pervert. Confession was an elder on the judicial committee.

My MIL wasn't the only person who saw it. She did think the elders would step in and 'handle it'. They didn't. I am sick to my stomach about it and am trying to find a way to get this reported. The sick pervert was NEVER prosecuted. It was very bold of him to do this and it tells me he felt very safe and comfortable.

In conversation, it came up that a known pedophile was seen walking to the bathroom holding a young boy's hand-no relation to the boy at all, although that wouldn't make a difference! The boy was maybe 3-5 yrs old and he was apparently the son of a study who rode to the assembly with the family.
My MIL said she just "prayed to jehovah to be able to pay attention to the brother's talk and not worry about seeing him walk with that little boy." I couldn't believe that no one thought to follow him into the bathroom or get a brother to do it and make sure the young one was okay. My MIL is a die-hard and almost 80 years old.
Is there anything more we can/should do to make sure this sick pervert doesn't have access to children? This guy was DF'd for several years when a few of his victims came forward. He denied it-they all told the same story.
