let's face it, we're all connected now.
we take it for granted that we access our bank accounts from our laptops or phones.
it's so convenient.

tl;dr: if you live either in scotland or in other parts of uk and you don't mind traveling, you might be able to help a fellow ex-jw by being present during a courtcase where she alone has to face more than two dozens of jws who have ruined their business.
please contact me directly for details on when and where the court case will be held (i will know these details in few days probably).
ps.
Give the guy a chance people, you're a cynical lot aren't you! He's repeatedly said he'll be back with more information as he is able. If he doesn't come back, no loss. If he does, then you've got your answer. Why so quick to pooh pooh?
'in order to extend mercy, the committee must be convinced that the wrongdoer has a changed heart condition and that he has a zeal to right the wrong and is absolutely determined to avoid it in the future.'.
shepherd the flock page 91. i remember this is one of the first things that concerned me as an elder because it seemed to sound like a person is guilty until proven innocent rather than 'love believes all things', especially given the word 'convinced' appears in bold.. then in a training video one elder said something like 'unless we are convinced of repentance the shepherd the flock book says we must disfellowship'.
that was the begining of the end for me as i thought surely true christians would reason the other way round and show mercy wherever possible.. any thoughts?.
Hah nice summary aboveusonlysky, this could be worth pointing out to some of my family going through some judicial douchebaggery at the moment.
yes my holy anionted mom who has cancer is concerned that the loving god jehovah may ask her in heaven to destroy here non believer family including her 5 year old grandchild during armagedon....how messed up are these crazy people!!?
?.
I'll bet this is a direct result of listening to tight pants Tony, didn't he say something similar recently at a convention or on the broadcast or something? That you better listen to him or he'll be a-smiting at Armageddon?
hello friends,.
after receiving a letter at my home calling me for a "judicial audience" after having quit 5 years ago the jw, i decided to go to the police and talk about the policy within jw.org: social abuse, judicial threats and in my case sexual abuses.. a national newspaper in spain www.elperiodico.es has decided to give visibility to this situation.

Brilliant, a magnificent effort, something that really catches the eye and I'm happy to see it. And that's just your beard.
for those interested, this is the video of mouthy's (grace) funeral from september 8, 2016. https://youtu.be/yvmiwo0ycds.
thanks again everybody for the kind words about her - she will be sorely missed by our family as i know she will be by many of you too!

I only had a couple of conversations with Grace, but she lived up to her name as she was nothing but kind. Thanks for posting this, it was nice to learn a bit more about her as a person.
jehovah's witnesses post 'anti-gay' 'harness your habits' leaflet in north devon.
devon and cornwall police have said a leaflet posted through doors in north devon isn't a crime – despite it advising gay people to "control their urges".the leaflet, entitled "how to harness your habits", was distributed in north devon by jehovah's witnesses and contains an article asking "what does the bible say about homosexuality?
"in it, the religious group states that "rejecting homosexuality" is completely different to "rejecting people of a different skin colour" and says their views are the same as people who "view smoking as harmful and even repugnant".it also compares gay people to animals, but says "unlike animals, they can choose not to act on their impulses".the journal was contacted by a reader, who wishes to remain anonymous, who felt "belittled" by the leaflet.
I don't get it, is this a special leaflet made up by the witnesses in Devon, or is this an official watchtower leaflet? If it's official then this is a new direction for their ministry!
We need a scan.

hello brothers and sisters and truth seekers,.
i am an active jehovah's witness.
i don't believe in 1914 and i'm tototally against their way of dealing with abuse cases.
Andromeda, if God preserved his book throughout the ages as we're taught, why didn't he preserve the integrity of the book by including the apocryphal books?
so my mam visited today.
she recently went to convention in north east england, newcastle i think they still have them at.
before she left she said (this is her exact words btw) "you have put me in a difficult position and i can't come to see you anymore".. she told me that as i live with my partner and we are unmarried that she can't visit anymore.
Maybe they're paving the way for expansion on the "anyone called a brother" to mean anyone baptised and faded, no matter how long ago.
Next step - billion year contracts.
