Who else would never accept to go to a Judicial Committee?

  Two judicial committee meetings for me.

  First outcome DF, second private reproof.

  I would never do it again. Abuse comes in many forms.

  They have no power over me and I would not go regardless of what they threatened. I would love to see their faces when someone refuses to submit.

  I think I would have a good time going, loaded with two tape recorders and a sharp mind. I would be super reasonable and start sharing one or two doubts that has been bugging me and try having them explain their individual rationalizations to me and listen to the inconsistencies. (did that already with one elder, it was hilarious,unfortunately I forgot to tape it) I think the entertainment value would be well worth it, a pleasant way to spend a evening. Then I would post the conversation on the internet and email to everyone in the congo so others can hear it. In my old congo, I know that they are losing people slowly as more friends avail themselves to the stuff thats on the internet. One sister recently found out about the pedophile scandal and she is trying to come to grips with it but seems to be having a hard time. The organization is reaping it's own fruitage.

  I would probably attend, not say a word, then pursue legal action against all the elders involved in the committee. I haven't spoken with an attorney about this, but even if there wasn't much

  that could be done legally, I would pursue it as much as I could afford to. I definitely couldn't afford to go after the wt crap(corp), regardless I think going after the elders makes a

  stronger statement, and would show the true underbelly of the 'org' to those both inside and outside of this cult.

  On the other hand, each day I am leaning more towards officially disassociating myself. If that happens I won't ever find myself in front of a kangaroo court.

  Last weekend a Borg representative came and gave a Saturday and Sunday talk. HEAVY indoctrination session. One of his points was on being in a JC--as in, how could you (the sinner) make someone go through that. He related how this father was bawling at all the charges leveled at his daughter. "Yes, he was so shaken up that the brothers had to hold him to calm him down."

  I was in the sound booth half-asleep, but I perked up my ears at that point. Now, how in the world did this man get so worked up? Did they rake the man's daughter over the coals? Was the shock and stigma of having one of his kids in a JC too much to bear?

  How was that kind or loving?

  Plus I listened to SickofLies' secret JC recordings and it was quite illuminating. So yes, I would choose not to have anything to do with the JC were I to be asked to one.

  Remember folks, the only power these guys and the watchtower have is the power you give them. When Jesus was confronted by the Pharisees, he didn't give them his power, rather he made fools of them. That's my attitude, they're fools and should be exposed as such.

  As a example, if three Mormon elders convinced you to have a sit down with them and then proceeded to make rude accusations against you, how would you handle it? You would think they are out of their minds. Listen, they can't touch you, they can only made ridiculous accusations, have fun with them, I know I would.

  The only thing I would caution against is being obnoxious and rude, take the high road and stick to logic. If you are making a recording, you will sound reasonable and sane, they are the ones who will appear foolish and cultish and that's what you want anyway. It will provide years of laughter and conversational currency when you allow others to listen to it. I say have the little chit chat with these morons.
