num 31:17 now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
num 31:18 but all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
is it any wonder why so many turn a bad leaf when it comes to sexual morality in the jehovah's witness organization.
Just remember that man wrote the bible..they got a little mixed up sometimes..
I found it odd the way you picked the word pedophile for those scriptures instead of murderer..
Snoozy..who finds titles like this offensive and disgusting..but that's just my opinion..
i did not expect myself to do this, as i usually just stay quiet and mind my own business unless someone approaches me about jw's.
as many of you know, i had a baby a few months ago.
on babycentercommunity, a woman titled a thread "i don't believe in halloween".
People can find fault in anything it they truly try. It is up to us to decide if we want to accept something or not. I myself see no wrong in Halloween or any of the other holidays..I don't take things to the extreme tho, like devil worshipping at halloween time..
Snoozy..
there is no scripture that ever said "thou shall not gamble.
" the bible never mentions gambling.
yet it's a disfellowshiping sin.
They only complain if you don't donate the winnings to them..

huh?.
cern claims faster-than-light particle measuredgeneva (ap) -- a fundamental pillar of physics - that nothing can go faster than the speed of light - appears to be smashed by an oddball subatomic particle that has apparently made a giant end run around albert einstein's theories.. scientists at the world's largest physics lab said thursday they have clocked neutrinos traveling faster than light.
that's something that according to einstein's 1905 special theory of relativity - the famous e (equals) mc2 equation - just doesn't happen.. "the feeling that most people have is this can't be right, this can't be real," said james gillies, a spokesman for the european organization for nuclear research, or cern, outside the swiss city of geneva.. gillies told the associated press that the readings have so astounded researchers that they are asking others to independently verify the measurements before claiming an actual discovery.. "they are inviting the broader physics community to look at what they've done and really scrutinize it in great detail, and ideally for someone elsewhere in the world to repeat the measurements," he said thursday.. scientists at the competing fermilab in chicago have promised to start such work immediately.. "it's a shock," said fermilab head theoretician stephen parke, who was not part of the research in geneva.
anerson cooper is looking for experiences.
maybe if enough ex-jw's sign up, producers will see a potential to look into it ...... sign up sign up.

i was talking the other day with a fellow board member about medical emergencies occuring at meetings and how we both agreed that we ( while jw's ) had never seen a meeting stop or be cancelled due to medical emergencies experienced by a fellow jw.
the wt society trains jw' s to lose their authentic human feelings or any empathy towards others physical or emotional sufferings many times.
so many times at meetings , in spite of someone suffering a serious medical emergency it was " the show must go on " type of attitude displayed by congregation elders.. my first experience at seeing a medical emergency at the kingdom hall was an older sister who had an epileptic attack.
Worse I saw was a sister wetting her self on stage..left a puddle in her chair.
Does my son locking himself in the bathroom at age 5 and yelling loudly for "Mom" count? Oh yeah, I was in the middle of giving a talk. Afterwards the brother praised me for keeping my cool while they worked to get him out..
Sister fell off the platform on a chair..asthma attack in a teen..
Bout it..
Oops, remembering the elderly that passed out while sitting in the hot sun at assemblies trying to prove they could take anything for Jehovah..
armageddon is a military exercise where the nations will be judged in the "valley of decision" for how they treated israel in regard to dividing that land.
it is not to destroy the wicked as the wt teaches.
the wicked are destroyed from the effects of adam in that all die.. i will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
Don't hold your breath.. It's coming, it's coming, it's coming..any day now..
How can anyone with a brain believe that stuff..
Just saying...............
last week i attended my father's funeral in hobart.
i was the first time i have been in a kingdom hall in several years, and many years since i had attended the hall of my childhood, but felt like it was just yesterday.
the funeral talk was quite a departure from normal, so worth writing about.
I'm so sorry for your loss..as fas as your Mom goes, she is probably looking forward to seeing your dad again which will help her deal with her loss
I wonder if after some time your Mom will join the group of abanoned witnesses that are set out to pasture so to speak?
I had the same experience at my JW hubby's memorial. ( I disassociated myself many years ago.) Some came up and hugged me and spoke to me and others stood right next to me and totally ignored me.
It had been many years since I had quit going so I didn't know many at his memorial, which was a good thing..
Many promised to stop by and visit me but no one ever called or came by. So much for their word..

NC only certain types of religion attract her kind of people (mentally unstable)...fanatic ones..like the JW's.
I also don't agree fully with your statement. I think the JW religion's teachings can cause mental problems in any person!
As far as her being a JW..she was probably one that sat in the back quietly and no one noticed...denying her would be the natural response. Also, Didn't they say she had the literature? how did she get it? I can't get it. She must have had some contact with them.
