here we go again...............
Talked with a friend of mine about the cong. we stopped attending one year ago the other night. He is a baptised jw in good standing, goes there with wife & 2 girls.
1. We stopped attending after elders lied & cheated us out of $60,000 plus interest on sale of KH (we bought it.) WTBTS General Associate Counsel.........said it was ok to sue the elders - but we had no grounds for suing WTBTS.
2. Elder who enlightened us was removed as an elder within 6 mo.
3. Another elder stepped down 2 weeks ago when it was actually proven by the SC Department of Health that his wife had stolen $3200 in petty cash. After 2 years of saying she was framed - she confessed, and agreed to pay it back, and do community work. Bet she opts to pioneer, eh?
4. A ms just got caught for having an on-going affair when his wife was pregnant with their first child one year ago.
5. Another ms caught his wife *necking* in the parking lot of where she works with another employee. Wasn't the first time - nor the worst. They have 2 teenage kids.
6. Another ms is being sued for malicious slander, lying, etc. by a brother - and the ms was dumb enough to commit purgery in a 15 page deposition saying that the CO told him to spy on the brother for sexual offenses. Dumb enough to say it 19 times. Brother faxed document to CO who said he didn't remember. Brother said perhaps you'll remember in Court? CO told lawyer he has never spoken to ms.
These are just the happenings which are common knowledge, btw. We have approx. 75-90 publishers, 4 minus one elder now. Not a new congregation - was the first in our city. Just built a new KH.
There's been several judicial meetings, but to my knowledge, no df'ings, etc. The court case is on-going. Perhaps a lot of cover-ups?
