Broken Promises,
I think it was meant that the COBE's wife and daughter were traveling alone.... meaning that THEY could have transported the elderly person, but didn't.
i was a regular taxi for alot of people.. we (wife & family) pick up one sister and her 2 children for many years ...he husband had walked out on her and we did'nt mind.. however when we were asked by the cobe wife to pick up and elderly and infermed bro a 3 day assembly (we had 3 young children) i said no.. we pased her and her daughter traviling alone to the assembly.. .
Broken Promises,

Such a lot of fuss over a piece of flimsy paper.
i just got a call from a friend of mine who is going to court on friday to fight to see his children because his jw ex-wife doesn't want him to have access to them anymore.
in a nutshell this is his situation: met her about 12 years ago after she had left the borg and they got married and had a couple of kids.
she decided that she didn't want her children murdered by jehovah at armageddon so after being gone for 7 years, she went back and went back with a vengence.
A website I just found today, especially for non-witnesses going for custody against a current witness:
Methinks that, if the blood banks began to run dry, the WTS would suddenly come up with "New Light" that would allow donations. I would bet money on it.
how does the watchtower justifie bibliquelly this very strange " hand " ?.

Yeah, the WTS likes too promote their racial indifference, but the truth really shines when the vast majority of their pictures and art show white men in dominant positions. The only exception is when they are showing "prominent" brothers in non-white countries.
AND....why, out of 7.5 million JWs world wide, would Jehovah choose only ONE non-white guy to serve on the governing body? (especially since the vast majority of the world population is NOT white????!!!)
tsk, tsk, Watchtower, you should be more careful with your illusions.
i am an atheist and have been for a few years.
i was in the troof for about 10 years, and am so glad to be a sinner now.
good to meet you all..
Poppers, I love your advice!
i brought up the conti case with a newly x- jw and they said that the child molestion policy was changed in 90's as far as elders reporting to the authorities.
so my question is what was the policy changed from and what did it change to?
and what is the most current letter that we have a copy of regarding the reporting policy?
I recently wrote a "thing" showing the differences between the old Watchtower policy and the updated one. Anyone who is interested can view it here:

I'm a little lost -- where is this picture from?
increasingly, i find myself resistant to any form of religion that dictates exactly what i should believe, what i should wear, down to the last skirt to meeting, or what i eat, what i read, what i watch, and denies me my god-given right to think for myself and to use the brain he gave me.. that's what i've gained from the watchtower.. thank you, watchtower!
you've done a good thing!

I'm thankful that their continual spouting of finding "the truth" is what eventually led me to find the truth about them.
And, I'm also thankful that they gave me a foundation of morality (no illicit drugs, no racism, maintaining marital fidelity, etc.)
Definitely California Roll
