  Disgusting comment re: education from Tacoma 2007 District Convention

  by Justitia Themis in

  this is from saturday afternoon program.

  the speaker first starts with what he called the "alphabet soup" of degrees....a.a., b.a., m.a., ph.d., etc.

  ; he said they were nothing more than "sheepskins on the wall.

  It wouldn't be a case of jealousy, I s'pose??

  I havent seen the 1992 version, but Im sure they "cleaned it up" to make it more court friendly

  Yep, I remember that and you're right, it was to go into court and "speak with a forked tongue".

  The original was written by the Writing Department. It was re-written by two Society lawyers, Carolyn Wah and Sarah Mott-Trille Hamilton. So much for Holy Spirit being behind all the Spritual food from the Watchtower.

  Interesting post, Uzzah. More on this?

  I've been studying with JW's for a few months..

  by MichaelM in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been studying with the jw's for a few months and i've attended a few meetings but things are feeling somewhat strange...i don't quite get the jist of things but i feel that i'm learning more of what the watchtower teachers and less of what the bible actually says.. i never open my bible.. i'm always reading the watchtower pamphlets.

  i really like the people i've met in the congregation and the guy thats been doing the studies with me has been an awesome friend.. .

  but i'm just having some issues.. i mean.. they translated their own bible to suit their own doctrines it seems.

  An Elder Just Knocked on My Door

  by DoodleBearRae in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i didn't bother to answer.

  it's probably because i told my ex last week that i will personally sue the individual elders if they meet with my daughter again to counsel her without my parental consent.

  we have joint custody and that means they need joint parental consent to counsel a minor.. i am filing for sole custody of our 12 year old daughter and will be serving him with the legal paperwork next week.

  I know I have tried to start a new topic but I can't, and it's been about a week since my last new topic. What's up with that?

  Dunno, but if you can post?????

  I've checked and from what I can see it's OK.

  If you continue to get problems, give mods a PM - better than taking this thread "off topic".

  Cheers, Ozzie

  G'day snowbird from downunder!

  You may find the "Best of" forum a really good read and source of information.

  For example, try this: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/32/77659/1.ashx

  What does it mean when the thread folders change colors and seem to be on fire?

  20 posts or more i.e. a "hot" issue

  Enjoy.

  by Ragnarökkr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while you were in the truth did you meet or know of any straight jw's.

  i once met this brother who was married, that in itself was a dead give away, occassionally he would turn up in a brown suit smelling of very cheap aftershave (secret christmas pressie i bet)that was another clue.

  anyway one day i found out this straight brother beat his wifde and kids, and regularly.

  I am going to TRY and leave JWD for the time being!

  by AK - Jeff in

  i am an addict.

  and that is one good reason to back off some.

  but the overriding reason is that my nerves have been frayed lately by the actions of a hidden 'stalker', a jw who is hiding behind a cyber-curtain.

  G'day Jeff,

  Sorry to 'hear' your plight - I think you might need to 'sleep on it' as it may be better to tough it out.

  Mind you, if you're an addict (maybe a lot of us are!!) going 'cold turkey' might be wise. I seem to recall that this was your aim a few months back?

  Whatever you do, I'll be in touch.

  Cheers mate,

  Your brother, Ozzie
