  The JW Elder Who Started All the Insanity that was bound to eventually start. This Elder Loves Trouble!

  by ReligionOfHatred in

  in order to understand what is happening you have to start from the beginning of our saga.

  about nine years ago a elder with asperger's syndrome found out my family member almost came to blows with our next door neighbor who is so successful, he probably makes $2 million a year net-income with all his businesses and investments.

  the co-owner of the property got angry because our neighbor did not like certain breeds of dogs, the fact was he was mauled by the breed elder bucket-head owned and elder bucket-head refused to fix the fence and so his dog would continually show up on my neighbors front door harassing his little dogs and growl.. elder asperger's heard my dad and his friend talking about uncle bucket-head's near blows even though they were whisphering at book study, his ears are good when it comes to seeking out sin and finding ways to bring brothers before the elders.

  Sounds like Dologist rantings. Remember that guy going on about his Asperger Syndrome.

  Not saying it is same person. But i notice people leaving this site and months later new accounts are created with similar posting styles.

  Please provide source of this famous case in Florida. I've lived in Florida my whole life and never heard this story. Since it is a famous case and the person was caught , you obviously have a source or reference I could use to validate this claim.

  So far every time I have called anyone out on this site about referencing a source, not one person has ever done so. Please be the first.

  Funny reading that thread on JW talk. You have ones on there kissing the GB butt, and others on their stating this is so clear how can anyone be confused??? Yeah right. I know a few JW at work who couldn't even begin to explain the overlapping generation nonsense.

  So funny

  It changes so much. But from what my understanding is, a Apostate in JW world is a baptized JW that rejects any of the current teachings and then talks to others about it.

  JW will automatically claim any source as apostate unless it comes from their demi-gods the Governing Body of JW. This is especially true for any negative comment about their teachings or actions.

  If a witness was to have a conversation with a group of Elders, it is more than likely the Elders wouldn't even allow you to present any material from outside the Watch Tower for that conversation. I've seen this first hand and also on some secretly taped Judicial meetings.

  But from my understanding the term apostate basically means someone that rejects their faith. But in JW world it means a lot more. You are basically evil and at one time I remember it was taught you committed the unforgivable sin and their is no redemption for you. Not sure if that is the thinking/teaching now.

  They adjust their teachings all the time.

  I left the borg before learning all the TTAT and found this site some 12 years ago. I was just a lurker but it helped me understand I made the right decision.

  A lot of wonderful people are long gone from this site but I enjoy digging up old posts and reading them.

  Are you angry for having been a JW?

  by Half banana in

  2. beliefs

  i remember seeing the ex-jws parading around outside the assembly like lepers holding placards of hate.

  we were the righteous and enlightened ones... and they were lost in outer darkness.

  just dont look at them was the standard response to their unwelcome presence..

  I'm not angry. The religion didn't have too much of a negative impact on me or my family. But I can remember the days when I was in West Palm Beach and there was always protesters. It's funny now when I look back and think how I was taught these people were demon possessed. In reality they probably were abused by the WT.

  Though I wouldn't protest, I definitely understand those that do. I think social media is a better avenue then holding signs.

  Suicide Prevention Counseling

  by MrCellophane in

  2. medical

  in the 1980's when i was an elder, i don't remember the society providing any guidance to elders on suicide prevention counseling.

  i realize much has changed since then.

  can any current/recent elders update me on what the current position of the local elders would be if approached by someone in the congregation contemplating suicide and seeking help?.

  Interesting old letters. I wonder how many other older letters from the 80's and 90's are floating out there to prove them the liars they are. I think it is so important to have as many high ranking JW giving testimony under oath. Then perhaps later on they can be tried for perjury.
