just found out that the australian governong body member known as geoffrey jackson got engaged to a sister about two weeks ago.
it really shocked me at first but then i remembered how other members of the gb have remarried in the past like daniel sidlik.
what made me say "woah" was hearing that the holy bride to be is really young!
Featherimiss,
The scrutiny comes becos the "governing body" are held up to be the bastions of spirituality, including being able to suppress their physical desires, but here is a flaming example that this old man can't resist the desires of the flesh.
They put out talks and magazine articles about "remaining single until Armageddon" yet this old guy obviously doesn't believe the crap that he's responsible for printing.
the publisher refuses to put his signature on the piece of paper.
will they still accept him/her as such?.
also, the very first publisher recordtm card autographed seems to be retained indefinitely.
I'm in Australia and I recall being asked to signed mine back in the 90s.
Your English is too good for a Nigerian.
Idiot.
peace to you (forgive me if that offends/insults, but i felt wrong not offering it in opening this new thread).
to continue where we left off on the "truce" thread:.
there is no such thing as relative truth - it is not open to subjective feelings.
She's been sprouting this nonsense for more than a decade and anyone who has tried to interpret what the hell she's going on about has ended up in the looney bin.
Proof, please. These dear folks deserve proof of such a heinously false assertion.
You've been on this board for over a decade, and before that on H20, an exJW board that was around in the 1990s, sprouting this nonsense.
this is totally unrelated to anything jw, but it's the only group i'm in online with such a mix of men and women, so i'm asking.
what's your experience with hand shaking?.
me, when i meet someone for the first time, i offer to shake their hand.
My Father, lived in TX, always told me to look someone straight in the eye, a firm hand shake, and it's always no sir, yes sir, no mam' or yes mam'. People who can't do that you can't trust according to him
My father taught me the same thing, though in Australia we don't say "sir" or "ma'am". He taught me that you can tell what kind of a person, particularly a man, is by their handshake.
I've worked in white collar jobs, and I always shake hands. And I *hate* those limp wrist wet fish handshakes!
peace to you (forgive me if that offends/insults, but i felt wrong not offering it in opening this new thread).

You mustn't have Yeshuah's spirit if you can't see his image, Aguest
i like to share my picture with you and that you share yours with me.
but only if that does not represent any problem to you.
here is mine.
I have a goatee too.
Trouble is, I'm a female

Ahh, the arrogance of those who believe.
in the last six months i have learned so much about jw's from the "apostate" books and web sites such as jwfacts and this great site.
ever since i started my research on jw's three adjectives to describe the wts leadership came to mind: deceptive, arrogant and manipulative.
i just noticed today that the first letters create the acronym dam.
Notorious.
Negligent.
Nasty.
Nefarious.

NC,
Don't bother to try to understand A Guest. She's been sprouting this nonsense for more than a decade and anyone who has tried to interpret what the hell she's going on about has ended up in the looney bin. I don 't wish this to happen to you so I'd suggest doing something more productive with your time, like going out to watch the grass grow or something.
