ELDER IN NYC MOLEST NIECE!!
by Patriot intruely sad how more and more cases are surfacing.. this latest in a spanish hall in uptown manhattan, nyc.. i've known this elder for many years, he's the type that swears he is the most righteous, the most strict and most "spiritual".. 7 years ago he and his wife took temporary custody of their 2 nephews and 1 niece, she was about 7.. this because their mother was disfellowshipped and did not fulfill her responsibility with the minors.. everyone in the hall thought that he was a god..he took them under his roof , clothed them and fed them and above all took them an field service and to the meetings.. he would always walk holding his niece's hand..but noone thought anything about it..until about 3 weeks ago when the accusations were made and brought to the elders.. he is on the run and has not been seen since last week.
the authorities have not been notified (typical wts).. he was escorted out of their home by the nypd but only because he refused the counsel to leave the premises.. what excuse was given to the police to lead him out, i don't know.
but after that he tried to bunk in with a pioneer sister from his hall but when she found out about all this (being that jw's know how to keep confidential matters to themselves),.

by hulphi ini wanted to start with a bang, so i have a question.. my girlfriend told me today that she doesn't mind me having sex with other women.
i said,"i don't want an 'open relationship'" and she replied, "i know, i can't sleep with other men, but if you do that's ok".

FATAL ASSUMPTIONS
by You Know injesus further related in the 15th chapter of john: "nevertheless, i have spoken these things to you that, when the hour for them arrives, you may remember i told them to you.
these things, however, i did not tell you at first, because i was with you.
so, the point is that jesus has not told his anointed ones certain things yet because the hour for them has not arrived.

Watchtower Stock Gamblers?
by ros init was recently pointed out in another thread, the business mode of certain organizations to persuade people who have accrued a substantial estate to turn their holdings over to the organization in return for which the organization agrees to support them with a certain agreed income for the remainder of their life.
the advantage for the organization comes with investing the money in stock or bond funds for an anticipated higher return than they expect to pay to the invester/doner, as well as getting the whole thing after the investor dies without any inheritance penalty.
(is this a fair statement of the issue?).

WEEKLY STRATEGIC UPDATE
by You Know inthere is no question about it, the world is rapidly heading toward its terminal tumult.
with the foretold apostasy now fully underway, the stage is set for jehovahs ongoing controversy to be pressed to its ultimate conclusion.
piece by piece, chunks of the underlying economy, the life blood of the present system of things, are falling away.

Any interest in a meeting in the Northeast?
by ChuckD inwould anyone be up for some sort of cookout / barbeque sort of thing somewhere in the northeast in the next few weeks, perhaps around labor day?
being in providence, just about anywhere from ncy to boston would work for me.
we could drink beer, make smores, and tell stories.

by Patriot inmy sister sent me this article which talks about all the recurring troubles in isreal.
but if you read the article you can see how the new york times article author's research also lead him to 586 b.c.
as the destruction of jerusalem vs. that of the wtbts's 607.. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/30/international/30mide.html?ex=997502925&ei=1&en=04ea96838fe6bf9d.
