Let Me Refresh You Or GET THE HELL OUT!
by Mister Biggs ini was sitting at the meeting last night looking for more things to be critical about (lol!)..
the year text is "come to me...and i will refresh you"-matthew 11:28. as i was staring at the text as it hung on the wall, i looked over at a married teenage couple who were disfellowhipped for "poking" prior to marriage.. okay, they had sex before marriage.
but they did get married.

Would you kiss up to your boss to get ahead?
by butalbee inthis is a question, that i am very curious about, wondering or pondering, thinking if some people would kiss up to their bosses to get ahead in the company that they were employed in; to get a raise, or a promotion, and then i'm thinking of the 'special treatment' clause if you had a personally relationship w/ your supervisor?
i guess w/ my present day situation the thought has crossed my mind, and i can't help but wonder this...if one particular person is "using" me to advance his career.
this is a jw issue, cuz this person is a jw.

One of my Elders was a Flasher.
by sleepy ini don't know whether its good to spread stories regarding individual cases of perverts in the congregation.. but this case shows to me that you just can not tell very easily who is likely to be a pervert or not , even if are elders in the congregation.. this particular elder was very prominent in our area and was a regular pioneer for some time.i belive he also served on the hospital liaison committe.. one day it just appears in the local newspaper "****** has been charged with flashing in a public park" i believe young girls were the victims , though i cant remmeber.. it was only when this appeared in the newspaper that he confessed his crime to the elders, well he couldn't hide it now could he?.
even though he had been caught and charged and then taken to court , a process that most have teken many months , he had not confessed and continued serving as an elder and on the hospital team.. no one could believe he could actually do this , yet he admited his guilt in court.. just goes to show , that in this so called clean organistaion there could be many more covering up their crimes.. (in my area also two brothers were covicted with rape and jailed).
so if anyone thinks that in general jehovahs witness are better than normal people, well i know a flasher and two rapists, there are plenty of "good" associations in gods organisation.

This is the way it should work.
by seven006 infor those of you who have been on this board for a long time and have grown tired of the little wars i think there is something that might give you a bit of comfort.
in the past few days there has been an exchange between mark (outonalimb) his wife julie, lark, myself and a few others.
it stated out with a post by mark (a fairly new poster 52 posts in all) saying a few things to larc in an obvious negative vein.

Does Knowledge of Evil Condemn Us?
by JosephAlward inordinarily i would post this topic in the "bible research" forum, but i found the following on the "friends" forum, in the "tree of what" thread, so i will leave it here.. achristian explains,.
[when] free people have a knowledge of evil they always, at least briefly, consider doing evil.
and, even having evil thoughts for a brief fleeting moment makes people less righteous than god.

Is it better to give... or receive?
by teejay ini read a quote the other day that made me stop and think.. giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll.
love you back!
don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow .
