I never gave it any thought at all!

My thoughts are highly compartmentalized, by design.

Several years ago I was surrounded in the Kingdom Hall aisleway after a meeting by three Elders who demanded to know what I thought of the Governing Body.

Without thinking I blurted out "I never think of them at all !"

There were no follow up questions.

Risking accusations of semantic quibbling, I have to say that disassociation is just not the same as non-association (or formerly associated). The term disassociate, or more commonly, dissociate,

On the 10th of this month, the Australia Royal Commission held Case 54 which was a review of the responses of Jehovah’s Witnesses to the Commission’s findings.  The representatives from the Australia

Yeah ... I also caught those lies ...  I am particularly sensitive to such things .. because as a JW Newbie, over a half century ago ... I did the very same thing ... to my everlasting shame. .

I've seen you mention this example before. All I can say is I am  glad my elders aren't like yours. But then again I wasn't there, so I just have to take your word for it! :)

James Thomas Rook Do you think Jehovah would approve of going online and taunting sisters?  Does online bullying have any place in Jehovah's arrangement?  And if the elders asked you what you thought of the governing body, why was that?  Were you murmuring?

Nicola ( and /or "Guest", as the case may be ...) :

Your posts are as vague as the morning fog.

What taunts?

What Sisters?

What bullying?

As far as why the Elders asked me that question I do not remember the details of why?  They may have had indigestion.

When you reply to my three questions above... please be SPECIFIC and  VERY Detailed.

I have learned that "Snowflakes" melt at the slightest friction or conversations that adults have.

You can be honest, direct, and forceful with solid people of integrity ... and everybody benefits. ... but Snowflakes need to be pandered to, in soothing dolcet tones.

It ain't me Babe.... It ain't me your lookin' for.

Babe.

 

...and since you addressed my father, who is dead .... please use JTR .. it's simpler.

      Is Light a Wave or a Particle?

      Clearly, they are already demanding your exile. Yes! It's unfortunate that Pudgy spoiled a great discussion about science. I hope the discussion can continue without any more nonsensical interruptions. Just a suggestion since they are on your heels. Wow! You speak! It seems you have a lot to say! Now they are going to treat like, who do you think you are, mister big stuff! Are those aliens now going to imply that anyone who speaks out against the five or six key contributors to this site will be treated as though it is George just because those in opposition speak the language they hate to hear, the TRUTH? They are seeking individuals who will embrace their nonconformist values and appreciate what they can offer in shaping public opinion contrary to the established agenda of God and Christ. Their goal is to enhance their writing abilities and avoid squandering time on frivolous pursuits, mainly arguing about the truth they don't care for. They see it all as a mere game, even when leading people astray. They believe they have every right to and will face no biblical repercussions, or so they believe. They just want to have fun just like that Cyndi Lauper song. Be prepared to be belittled and ridiculed, all the while they claim to be angels. Haha! By the way, please refrain from using the same language as George. They appear to believe that when others use the same words, it means they are the same person, and they emphasize this as if no one else is allowed to use similar grammar. It seems they think only they have the right to use the same or similar writing styles. Quite amusing, isn't it? See, what I just placed in bold, now I'm George, lol! Now, let's leave this nice science thread for people that want to know more about science. I believe George left it at "Zero Distance."

      Nice little thread you’ve got going here, SciTech. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.

      It's truly disheartening when someone who is supposed to be a friend of the exclusive group resorts to using profanity in their comments, just like other members claiming to be witnesses. It's quite a ludicrous situation for the public to witness.  Yet, the "defense" of such a person, continues.

      No. However, I would appreciate if you do not reveal to all and sundry the secret meeting place of the closed club. (I do feel someone bad stomping on Sci’s little thread. But I see that has already happened.)

      Hello, Darlene, I just love your name, I had a cousin named Darline, and had a classmate also named Darlene! It's a pleasure to know another Darlene! Especially a Spiritual Sister! There's some websites, Ministry Ideaz , JW Stuff.com, and Etsy that I use to order my yearly buttons for the Conventions! They always send me what I order, and their also Jehovah's Witnesses, that send us the merchandise we order!  You can check out these websites, and they might have what your looking for! I hope I have been helpful in assisting you, Darlene! Agape love, Shirley!😀
