  most of you, like me, keep yourself informed as to what's happening in jw-land.

  like me, you make it your business to know what's going on.

  so i'm wondering why the wtbts is allowing eldubs to appear in these inquiries in australia??

  Slidin, that is an excellent idea. Spot the bit, the tiny bit that could be taken either way, the one snippet of information that you'd use if you needed to prove something the original writer wasn't saying..

  Demoted from elder to MS, anybody ever heard of this?

  by Naoscillator in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so a friend in a nearby hall told me their co came through, and in a hellish week of long meetings and inquisition overhauled the boe.

  only one remains as elder, three were re-appointed as ms, and one, the cobe was deleted entirely.. two new elders were brought in as new secretary and cobe / watchtower conductor, respectively, and introduced to the congregation from the platform on sunday immediately following his second talk.

  he reminded everybody of the authority he has and then named the new appointees.

  I was offered to step down to be an MS when I handed my notice in. And i know of at least two other similar cases. They'd rather have people slaving in any capacity than sitting around enjoying themselves.

  Cultural thing I think, it's not the case in my city, except maybe among uber-dubs that are trying to make a point by everything they do..

  My tuppence worth...

  Full disclosure happened a few months ago for me. She's known I've had doubts for the last year and that I've been discussing them with some elders and had no satisfying answers.

  For me, even though I'd been told not to talk to my own wife about my issues (!) I couldn't cope with the dishonesty of it all, the hiding of my inner thoughts, and just figured she deserved to know the truth about how I felt.

  I told her I didn't believe a weird of it anymore, there's no way we were god's one true organisation, but that I was keenly aware of the devastating effect my leaving would have on our lives, family and social etc... So I said I was willing to put up a pretense for her sake and just do the bare minimum.

  I really do love her, and my hope is that her curiosity will kick in at some point and she'll ask some questions about why I don't believe. I won't press the issues, she's got to want to research it for herself, but I'll be ready for any questions when they come.

  If after all that she decided to carry on being a witness, that's her choice, but I can't see me doing it forever.

  Anyway, I've toiled with this 'full disclosure' question for years, I've got to say it feels great to be utterly out in the open about it . no more making excuses for myself about missing ministry or meetings, she knows exactly how I feel and will be expecting a lack of enthusiasm for all things spiritual.

  And hopefully she'll see I'm being more than reasonable in the process.

  Full disclosure ftw!

  update - for those of you who read my last topic 'disfellowshipped at 18' i am so thankful for all the support and helpful comments i received.

  it's amazing to know that despite how alone i may feel, so many of you have suffered the same way that i have.

  i know that i can live happily without being one of jehovah's witnesses.

  Wow. You're so much braver and more coherent and together and courageous than I was at your age, probably more than I am even now..!

  Well done for making your mind up at such a young age, the rest of your life is ahead of you now, and its yours to do with as you please. It took me forty years to realise this. Good for you!

  How many Atheist organizations or irreligious organizations have been accused of the covering up child abuse?

  by jwleaks in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i don't know of any but would like some references if anyone does.

  of course not all atheists or irreligious people need to belong to an organization.. studies on the demographics of atheism have concluded that self-identified atheists comprise anywhere from 2% to 8% of the world's population, whereas irreligious individuals represent a further 10% to 20%.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/demographics_of_atheism.

  I didn't realise there were so many!

  So I suppose the OP means outrightly secular AND atheist, as opposed to just secular organisations that might not be affiliated with any particular religion , like the police force or a branch of government that looks after care homes etc..
