you might ask that young chap in Detroit what he did with his girlfriend-got the whole meeting shut up![got to clear the assemblies name you know......]
They have a business masquerading as a church with no Biblical reference whatsoever the Brethren [are] right where they want them.

MemberIsn't it sad that somewhere in the EB there could well be a young girl or boy who, having looked through their latest, must-have, coffee-table book Flood, Horror and Tragedy, feels inspired to one day join the ranks of the often brave and heroic rescue services but know in their hearts that it will not be possible due to the supposed Christian religion they are in.
There is no greater demonstration of devotion, no greater sacrifice of love, than to lay down your life for another. John 10:11 says, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
Lacking in education, lacking in training, unable to commit to anything other than the 07.30-16.30 EB work timetable, some of the many and varied reasons these poor kids will never get further than pushing a pen or a sack barrow in a greedy EB's business.
Leave at your first opportunity. I waited till I was 32, but in the meantime have achieved so many ambitions and goals I once thought were out of reach. How I wish I'd left earlier !

UnregisteredWW is dead right you know. I was withdrawn from for walking away from what I viewed as desperate options - being forced to work for Peeb businesses. The jobs were dead end -leading nowhere -just lining the pockets of greedy, rude , ignorant Peeb bosses. And didn't they love to keep you in your place. In total desperation - I woke up one day and said - I can't do this anymore. The brother I was working for was a pig of a man - by both Brethren and worldly standards. But to seek decent work with future possibilities - you had to leave. Which I did. I was withdrawn from on the spot. 18 years old.
Months later - I was reinstated -to being shut up- because someone reasoned that I had not actually done anything wrong. Which was true. The priests turned up on my doorstep. "Come back! You don't have to work for us....you could.....mow lawns for example!" I remember my response. "As much as I love to mow a decent lawn -I mean what man doesn't - the concept of this being a lifetime career flies in the face of the genetics that I have been born with. I'm sorry -but I have challenges and goals within me that would not be sated by pushing a Briggs and Stratton around all day. I just know that at about the three week mark -I am going to go crazy." This did not please them. Their ace had been rejected.
I say to every young Peeb. Go forth and see what greatness you can acheive. It's something you will never achieve in the Brethren.

Many congratulations, Dario. You are an inspiration to your peers. Other young EB's take heart, you are probably talented too, more than you might ever know.

UnregisteredTo # 20759: Excellent! I like to mow MY lawn and do a pretty good job of it, if I don't say so myself! I have been away from the peebs for a little while and I think I can honestly say that my deepest regret is that I didn't leave when I was much younger; say, like 18.

UnregisteredThis is a freaking con. Peebs.Net have been pushing the kiwi OneFocus stuff, right? Well you look at the offerings in there and you will see that these con artists are pushing the disaster-porn books with a discount for bulk orders. The Broose has obviously given front-row pops for those who sell the mostest? So these cult indoctrinated idiots are trying to do the JW thing and sell the Watchtower crap.

UnregisteredYes, they are certainly saturating Queensland with leaflets and flyers about the floods. I am running into them everywhere. I just wonder why they dont do a TV ad?

MemberI saw a copy of this book for sale (full price) at a stall market last week - there was a hand-written note claiming that approximately $9 of the purchase price goes to Red Cross. I'm kicking myself for not asking the stall-holder to explain this claim further.

UnregisteredWhy not ring the Red Cross administration and enquire about donations from the sale of the book.

UnregisteredI guess there are peebs in Hervey Bay (Queensland, Australia) right?
Walked into a hotel at the weekend to check in and was confronted by a stand of leaflets - yes, "Queensland Flood Horror and Tragedy".
A deep and meaningful with the hotel manager followed!
I wish I had time to visit the other 30 hotels in the area. I suspect I would have found the same (and more deep and meaningfuls to go with it).
But an interesting experience on Sunday at the Hervey Bay Boat Club. Three very Brethreny-like 'sisters' came in - looked like peebs, dressed like peebs, except their long hair was put up in buns or rolls. Rentons? But in a licenced club on a Sunday?? Weird.

MemberIn Maryborough there is a meeting. I'm not saying they were brethren 'cos on a Sunday sounds unlikely unless it was evening and they were unmarried. Apart from that they would be too busy with doing what they have to do.
But the sistren do wear their hair very different in public to what was compulsory about 30 years ago so don't go by that.
They would be pushing the boundaries if they were peebs! Good on them.Post # 24929 - Posted 3 months ago LINK -

This may be the case but I wonder how much profit the copyright owner's make - P & F Association of Agnew School Inc. - and where that ends up?
