Recently I've been reading the JC accounts of a few friends on disfellowshipped.com, and was wondering if any of you had links to other reliable transcripts/accounts/recordings of JC meetings.
I'm specifically looking for JC accounts, not just personal experiences.
Thanks again,
Looking
I have been involved with 4 judicial committees.
The first was at Bethel after having told another brother that I was in love with him. This committee was very loving. They told me they thought a better fit for me was in the pioneer work instead of at Bethel where I had the constant temptation of seeing naked men every day in the showers. I ended up pioneering for about 3 more years after leaving Bethel.
The second was back home in my home congregation. 2 of the 3 brothers were very loving, the 3rd was very harsh because he despised homosexuality. However the other 2 worked with me over quite a long period of time, listening to me and trying to understand me.
The third was in Jacksonville during my wild period of drinking and partying. Several of the young brothers and me had gotten into the habit of frequenting topless bars. I was trying very hard to become attracted to females and be part of the manly crowd. Again, the brothers were very kind and knowing of my personal struggles and the fact I was so straightforward with them, didn't even publicly reprove me.
The fourth was when I came back from Key West and told them I had had my first homosexual encounter. Again, they were kind and even asked me specifically if I planned to have more encounters. I answered yes. It wasn't until then that they disfellowshipped me.
I personally never had bad experiences with JC's, although I knew of others who became involved in really weird situations. I also became aware of the politics involved in a lot of situations.
