"NEVER SEND A LETTER TO WATCHTOWER HEADQUARTERS UNLESS YOU WANT TROUBLE!"

  On JWN the lurkers will discover many truths about the Watchtower Society and how they handle matters that relate to your current imbalanced spiritual state.

  If you think your letter you are going to send to the Watchtower Society is going to do any good, WRONG! I know of only one case where some type of justice was received from the Watchtower Society, why was justice received? The woman who wrote the letter had been a very special pioneer, her letter was recieved and action took place. This caused havoc in the Kingdom Hall, a feud broke out "Those for Sister Special" and those for "The Elders against Sister Special".

  Sister Special left to another Kingdom Hall with her elder husband, bitter with her entourage, they left the Hall in shambles for some time. She had won her battle that took a great toll on the Hall. She is one of the few who recieved any kind of justie (if you will call it that, leaving your long-time attended Hall, losing long-time friends and schizms of pioneers).

  Now for the 99 percent of the other publishers, brethren who don't have political capital like Sister Very Special Pioneer. If you are complaining about a brother "making improper passes to you" where do you think those letters go to? The body of another Hall or Brother Lechure's Hall? Did you guess Lechure's Hall? Good Answer!

  A letter about a lying and crooked overseer, who gets to intervene on those letters? (Quid Pro Qou) friends of the accused elder or an impartial body of elders from another area? Letters will go to your Body! You will get the chance to work your issues out with the brother who refused to behave, he will teach you, it's all your fault and the society will close their inquiry. Everyone is a happy family again!

  What if one elder trys to stand up to the body, he believes your letter, most times he will be destroyed, labled a "rebel" and attacked by the Elder Body's henchmen. In my territory we have over twenty ex-elders who have been stumbled out of the 'Truth' by wicked men. What makes you think you have a case that merits the busy Slave's short attention span?

  JWN, FreeMinds, and Facebook, Elihubooks are the only ways to force the Slave to protect the Sheep they claim to protect. If JWN, FreeMinds, ElihuBooks were not up and running, how much more dirty actions do you think would go unnoticed by the Organization. The members on JWN are doing you a service, whether you want to believe this, or not, you might not agree with the methods some members use, but remember "One Candle Is Able To Pierce The Darkest Night!"

  You have many candles on JWN some shine, some twinkle and other flicker. What kind of candle do you want to aid you, in your night of darkness?

  The lurkers should also understand that despite what they have been led to believe, the Watchtower Society does not respond nor acknowledge many of the letters they receive.

  I wrote three letters to Headquarters, asking for simple clarification on some things and at no time did I get one single response. At all. When I told this to the hardcore family JW's, they didn't believe me because they have been taught and told that the Society always acknowledges letters. They were the ones that advised I write to the Society. I have noticed a bit of a shift in them though - they are still in the grips as tight as ever - but I notice that they have more of a 'shoulders shrugging' attitude. I wouldn't say more liberal - but certainly they are shifting and just moving with the flow. Not questioning and that basically to me, means an I don't care anymore attitude. They will never leave because they are too chained now, but I have no doubt that some are leading minor double lives in ways they wouldn't before.

  Thanks WTS...I appreciate all your help - oh yes, and that includes sending good sisters and brothers to my door to tell me that you don't shun, never heard of the word, don't understand the practice...all lies you are telling to someone already being shunned. That's too rich! I get to spread those words along to more JW's and it certainly doesn't put the society in a good light. sammies

  BUBBLEGUM APOTHESIS - . Exactly. Probably one of the best threads I've seen on this board in months ! Excellent ! And very truthful. The title of the thread is so truthful of which I can definitely vouch. JW's and lurking JW's need to get it into their heads that they'll get a hell of a lot more support here with understanding and compassion from those of us who have been through the fire as ex-Witnesses - than ANY of the " father superiors " at Bethel , no matter who they are. I have a relative who wrote to Bethel after being inactive for a long time- it brought her nothing but hassles and pain.

  SAMMIELEE- Very true what you say and very interesting what you are noticing in your JW family. I hope it affects them that even if they don't leave the cult that they'll lessen up the pressure on you and Sam. I know how paradoxical and stressful it is dealing with JW relatives, believe me. Take care

  Reponses I got were also accompanied with letters to my BOE, and CO/DO. The witch hunts began.

  cult classic

  A sister was having troubles with her deadbeat husband years ago. The elders weren't taking her seriously and blamed her for most of their marital problems. She wrote headquarters and was so giddy for a response. She just knew that was gonna light a fire under the elders' asses and make them get her husband in line. She was so disappointed and bitter when their response was to continue putting on the new personality and wait on Jehovah. They also sent copies of the letter to her boe and the co. She continued serving Jah faithfully in a new congregation.

  Waiting for an appropriate response from WT is like waiting for one from God.

  I've said it before and I'll say it again... If you're going to send a letter to headquarters, sign someone else's name. If WT can claim to speak for God, I can claim to speak for the PO of the neighboring congregation. Fair is fair

  LOL Billy. Very good.

  wha happened?

  heck even when the elders write in they get stonewalled. Had it happen to me. Elders wrote the society and the letter they got back was basically, don't bother us. I remember it pissed off one of the elders who wrote it

  wha: And yet didn't they say in the new letter about porn viewing that if there were any questions to write to the Society? They're 'too busy' to answer questions about Noah's ark, but they have time for riveting correspondence describing the pictures of naked people that an MS was looking at.
