i am new to this forum, but i have been lurking for a while.
you all seem pretty friendly, i hope you will be nice to me even though i am still a jehovah's witness.
i wonder if you all have heard about the new arrangement for putting in field service reports.

in the 2-15-02 body of elders letter a paragraph is dedicated to child abuse issues.
many have claimed this an adjustment for the better with regard to wt policy.
sadly this could not be further from the truth.
Silentcrap, how interesting you inadvertently stumbled on to this site. Care to tell us how you managed this?

"adopt the pace of nature : her secret is patience.
" as catholic pedophiles continue in the spotlight and j.w.
rank and file become more entrenched in the "cleanliness" of their organization, the public expose' of j.w.
I'm apt to agree you Sid, patience. This Catholic Church episode could be the start of something bigger than we think. Do ALL Churches hide/protect/conceal pedophiles? Yes, TIME reveals all things.

i heard a sermon by a tv evangelist yesterday (a fellow by the name of hagee).
i normally don't watch this stuff, but it was specifically pointed out to me.. he was talking about marraige, and he made a point that has stuck with me.
he said that if a person is not willing to tollerate any disagreement with their ideas, then that person is likely motivated by insecurity and fear.
I've watch him on several occasions and he has some interesting views to consider. He adds humor to his preaching.

i know a lot of you here were former pioneers, servants and elders.
how did you go about stepping down?
did you just not say anything, did you write a letter or call one of the elders?.
Stay with YOUR plans. Be yourself.

i've always been curious about the process they use to appoint someone as a minsterial servant, elder or pioneer.
do they claim these appointments are made by holy spirit?
i am aware that the elder body has to first approve it and then send it through bethel or the circuit overseer, but i'm not sure what happens next.
Cornish, is this then when we can say, the 'spirit' moved them?

i come from a long line of such relatives and a few are jws...i hope i am making myself clear --- hanging on to such folks emotionally and mentally is a very negative endeavor...there are more positive things to do with ones time--i know we do around here...shit watching tv, coloring in my coloring book and picking my nose is a few things i can come up with as being positive -- i am glad jws have the practice of shunning the dissass.
(apostates) while i nurse my infected leg i am able to find time to engage in such activities...i value my private time so i can consentrate on things i find fun and enjoyable...what people find fun and enjoyable will vary from individual to individual...taking water pills / infection pills / seizure pills is a necessity and watch tv is a lot i enjoy doing especially the news -- locally it is showing me there ar some more dysfuntional parents / people than i am or will ever be -- down right ignorant and i have had the experience that i wonder if some even post on this forum!!!!

Queenie, how about a 'pill' to get back our sanity or emotional stability?

great advice !!!
Queenie, that's a lot of bear traps, don't you think? How about a guillotine while were at it?

at least denzel washington came forth to say that his role in "training day" was a character to which he immensely hated portraying, and it was very difficult for him to act out the role of a villian in a character he just loathed to the core.
halle berry on the other hand, as shown by her response is extremely over joyful for the winning of best actress in "monsters ball".
" the 33-year-old actress, a former beauty queen, glamerized herself for her role in "monsters ball" as a dispirited waitress and mother who falls in love with a white prison guard who she doesn't know has helped put her husband in the electric chair.".
If memory serves me well, Shirley Jones won an oscar in portraying a prostitute in Elmer Gantry. She's not black by the way.
