i haven't seen a topic thread like this one, so i thought i might start one.
as the title suggests, this is a topic thread for anyone's questions that have quick or one line answers.
for example: how many meetings do the witnesses have per week?
i am not color blind and i have no connection to this company but i ran across this and i just had to share it.
hopefully it might help someone on jwn.. these glasses allow most persons who are color blind to see true colors for the first time.
they also give a fascinating super color enhancement effect to people with normal color sight.
My father was color blind, I was not, but all three of my children are. I think most can get along in life fine unless your an electrician working with color coded wiring.
Thanks for posting VI.
the governing body have painted themselves in a corner, so to speak.
if they acknowledge their response to abuse claims was insensitive, unloving and inadequate they are denying the belief that "god's way" is best and risk losing abuse cases.
if they stick with it and say it is "god's way according to the bible" they will be seen as cult leaders and risk losing abuse cases.
several threads on here about the excellent bbc r4 programme this week ('the report') focussing on rape and abuse in barry, south wales, jws.
fat pervert mark sewell later got 14 years and i hope he is enjoying every minute of it.. the courageous ladies who spoke on the programme were articulate, reasonable and made a tremendous impression.. the quote in the thread title made an impression on me, and i hope, on all listeners.. forget religious, theological, 'biblical' issues and cut to the basics.
a rape victim was asked to demonstrate - to demonstrate, ffs - to three unqualified (middle-aged at least, presumably) men just how far her legs were apart when she was raped.. i have rarely heard anything so outrageous, and i used to investigate rape and abuse in my profession.
My sister was married to a long time elder that made her roll play during sex. She was to pretend that she was other sisters at the hall during sex. All the while this man was sitting on JC and judging others. I could see him being the type that asked very personal questions during a JC.
They are no longer together thankfully for her.
so fisherperson sent me a pm asking a bunch of questions re my time at beth hell.
rather than respond in a pm i will post the q/a here as i have nothing to hide.
q:what years did you serve in brooklyn bethel?
The way this fish has been acting makes one wonder if he/she is in fact a mole trying to get info on other posters to out them?
What exactly were you fishing for with a line of questioning like that Fish?
once a month about 15 to 20 elderly jw publishers would meet at the kingdom hall and one elder was assigned to set up the system so they could view jw broadcasting.
these publishers were long time pioneers, former elders, and long time publishers who know nothing about computers or the internet.
they are the last batch of those expecting the generation that saw 1914 or understood it--- to not die off.
If there was only one older sister that came, they should host it. What jerks!

Did GB members laundry get washed along with other workers clothes? As full of sh*t that they are, did you ever see any sh*t stains in their underwear?
(Trying to get this back on topic) :-D
soliciting any and all opinions.
as some of you may know, wife is full in pioneer.
my fade has gone from us fighting.
It is a high risk decision that only you can make and live with the outcome.
When I went full disclosure with my wife of 18 years, she stated that she will never be married to an apostate and filed for divorce the next day. I did not contest and 2 months later we were divorced.
Be prepared for the worst possible outcome before moving forward.
its been mentioned before that warwick is a toxic dump and now the jw's are suing a former owner for compensation.
well this is huge on so many levels.
one they new it was contaminated back a few years ago so why move your headquarters there?
I believe the WT was aware of it being toxic before they bought it.
Two possible good outcomes.
1) they have to pay millions to clean it up and delay their country club until they all die.
2) the GB move there soon and they all get rectal cancer.
paragraph 14.
"the majority if unmarried youths who lose their virginity say that they regret what they did.".
where do they get this stuff?.
"The majority if unmarried youths who lose their virginity say that they regret what they did, just before reinstatement after a year or more of shunning."
There, I fixed it for them.
