"In 1 Cor when he says we shouldn't take our brothers to courts he actually lists the kinds of things we shouldn't take them to court for"
He was referring to trivial lawsuits for gain or revenge, etc.
since they have fingered you as a mod, you should have a very interesting tale to tell; please do!.

"You are beyond belief to support such a corrupt and immoral policy." Mad: See below.
"You deny the extent of the problem." Mad: No, I do not; just don't pretend to know the answer as you do.
"You insist that victims of perpetrators look around to find a couple of witnesses to the abuse." Mad: That ia as absurd as your attitude. One (like the OTHER parent) doesn't have to literally SEE it done- just confirm it HAS. And your arguement implies GOD'S standard is at fault. Do you think yourself a goddess?
"Where does it say that the 2 or 3 witnesses have to be eye witnesses of the wrong?" Mad: The Mosaic Law
"I think the WTS has messed this one up big time" Mad: Maybe, but imagine the evil accomplished if it's announced that Joe Accused has molested someone...when he DIDN'T! Or Tom Molester has- and he sues the WTBS along with many others, because of the sue-happy culture we live in. Yes, I know; you'd be DELIGHTED to have pretenders destroy the Christian congregation...as would Satan himself.
I don't know how to get a "PM", and I don't know where BD might have posted his "story"...and NO, I don't count this time.
LL said:"Mad Didn't you learn anything from the last time you asked someone about their story?Seems some people are gluttons for punishment"
Mad: Yes, LL, I learned how emotion easily warps perception- and it was no "punishment" at ALL!
You will become even a BETTER person if you stop your endless ASSuming. Sounds like you need to go to an ASSembly...
No- GOOD example!
Outlaw, I will not continue to listen to all the Whining; that is YOUR specialty- stay with your fellow whiners.
hi all.. i have to attend a special assembly on saturday "take refuge in jehovah".. has anyone been to this yet....what can i expect?.
here is the line up...... 9:40 song and prayer.
9:50 why do we need a refuge?
Let's approach the Topic in Watchtowerese:
"We do well to ask ourselves: Just WHAT makes one assembly more 'speciial' than the others? Do not we benefit more fully from the banquet of rich spiritual food provided by the Faithful & Discreet Slave Class?"
Yeccch! Coffee gone sour!
HD- HE asked ME. You 'thought' wrong.
I answered direct. LL by links. What @ YOU, 'BD'?
are there pretenders in our brotherhood- as in all religion- that do what is evil?.
yes.. have we made stupid guesses about some of the prophecies, as all churches do?.
yes.. does our "organization" make mistakes- as, you guessed it, all do?.
Hey, BD- why not tell us YOUR story, now?
since they have fingered you as a mod, you should have a very interesting tale to tell; please do!.
Yet more ASSumption- "Mad has not posted on this thread in the last 22 hours - since page 15. Those where his last posts here.
Either he is busy - or decided to leave"
I suppose you think I await the next replies with bated breath, ignoring work, family, and all else...
Grow up!
