oh my word it is full of fear inducing tactics....doom and gloom outlooks.... anxiety inducing methods to develop absolute control over witnesses and cripple them in any attempt to think for themselves!.

(notice i am saying "themselves" rather than "ourselves"?!

So my dad comes from vacation and ???!!!

by Kool Jo in

hello folks.....so in an earlier thread i started, you'd realize that my father and i are quite close, we talk about almost everything/anything.. he traveled outside the country (he's semi-retired), enjoying the fruitage of his hard labor during his younger years.

so he recently returned home after he and mum went away to catchup with some old friends in another country.. upon his returning home, and subsequently to the meetings, he was told that a decision was made to strip him of his "field overseer" role, but will still continue to be an elder.. the reason...he goes away for too long too often...you can't be away from your congregation for three months out of the year!!!???

has anyone else had this experience before?

Good for him, weeks after my dad giving half of his 22 acre ranch to the wbts.....they took his eldership from him.

His alzheimers keeps him from remembering alot.....but they sure did wait for him to sign papers first.

Good luck to your pops.......TRAVEL ON ! ! ! !

On announcing the presence of a sexual predator

by disposable hero of hypocrisy in

there's a lot of talk on here about changes the society must make, one of them being the announcing of sexual predators in the congregation.

i agree.

but do any other organizations do the same?

Registering as a sex offender makes it public access.

So why not make a PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT, and save some kids from some dumb lames.
