Did life as a JW turn you into an alcoholic?
by hamsterbait ini certainly blamed my drink problem at first on the frustrations and blah blah blah of the life as a jw.
if you had a drink problem as a jw what caused yours.
does leaving aid recovery?

Obscene TOMO turd quote from talk.
by hamsterbait inon the thread about growth up but babble studies down thread, an audio of tomo turd has been posted.
can somebody put it in this separate thread - it's important.. he says how billions of innocent children and other inoffensive people will not get to enjoy their ice cream, as they are about to be annihilated.
they count less than mere "amuse - bouches".. what reward will all those get who peel off their tight pants and spanx before it is too late?.

A serving elder's take on the new "tithing" arrangement
by TTATTelder inthe gb can kiss my ass.. i'm writing "0" on the little slip of paper they pass out.. hey here's a thought:.
you know that "widow's might" stuff they're always talking about?
well i'm pretty dang sure that the lady was giving from the heart not because she filled out some dumba$$ piece of paper pledging two small coins several months previous!.

In the Church of England this is called the Parish Share.
The diocese calculates an amount based on church attendance and previous contributions. The congregation tries to meet it. They do get a full time minister for their money tho!

The Circuit Overseer's mid week talk
by stuckinarut2 inso the mid week talk from the co is making me feel ill..... he is going on about all the wonderful adjustments in the org and teachings, and just how clear and understandable they are....and saying that these truths make us more convinced that we have the truth!.
and that all these changes are evidence of love for the people in our territory... the truth is now so much clearer and easier to understand..... oh come on!!!!!!!!.
aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!.

It would be great to hear someone say to a circuit overseer what The Searcher said lol
'Oh it's great all these new adjustments. I really appreciate the changes in ending the district overseer arrangement. I wonder how soon before the FDS gets new light about circuit overseers and just communicates directly with local elders?'Hilarious.

Is my clinging on to a belief in a Creator doing me any harm?
by KateWild ini use the word clinging, as i feel that is what i am doing.
as far as my knowledge of science, namely chemistry is concerned, i am satisfied there is evidence of a creator.
i am happy to believe this.

I haven't had time to read the whole thread but I would recommend doing some study of faith, god, religion and belief away from this forum and without any JW bias or perspective.
JW 'rules of belief' and even 'rules of interpretation' are far removed from what is out there.
Basically it is a fundamentalist approach. JWs and Ex-JWs tend to have little idea or concept of anything else and hence only argue and reason from this angle.
My short answer to the question is no -

In reality it was always the CO who did this anyway. The 'Bethel approval' was just a front.
Totally agree with the liability observations tho.
Will be very interested to see someone like Candace Conte's legal team target an individual CO. And then use this correspondence to still sue the WT. -

Blood transfusions are all but officially a 'conscience matter' but if done 'brazenly' could get you in trouble.
What's the low down on that?
