And we see that they are not doubting the "report" from that sister, nor seeking clarification as to whether the accusation is correct!
They have already determined your "guilt".
i'm quite surprised about the new approach of some local congregation brothers respect about my fade.... funny, ilegal and very dangerous in view of the different laws regarding personal data and minorities in spain and in the eu.... i already organized a press meeting with main newspapers in spain.
many has shown interest in this situation.
the fact of that a parallel judicial system do exist is amazing them.

it's been some time.
wondering if anyone remembers me from the 'old days'.

Hello!
Welcome.
Sorry, I don't recognise your name, but it's great to meet you😀
once again the society is on a push to scare witnesses away from doing any research, or "stumbling" upon any "apostate" material (from workmates, neighbors, or online).
however, the most enlightening, mind blowing and eye opening things are found simple by reading the early publications themselves!.
read how ct russel, (the supposed channel god was using) had the most far fetched and laughable ideas, such as obtaining pivotal dates by measuring the pyramids of egypt!...
Bumped for a new bunch of lurkers...
I was asked the other day what made me first have doubts. The reality is, I didn't have doubts until I followed the societies OWN advice they have said many times, which was "we should enjoy reading the rich history of Jehovah's organisation in the older publications" etc... (There have been several articles about this over the years.)
I did that, and that's where I found so many odd things we were never told about!
Then the extended research began, and that uncovered so much more!....Then the dam wall burst open....
some (especially witnesses) may wonder what brings us to places like this?.
why is it that we have chosen to step away from the society that we once viewed as "the truth", despite the consequences for doing so?.
well for any visitors to this site, or any other "apostate" sites, the answer is simple really:.
Bumped for the new ones and lurkers....

She is the voice of the feral racist bogans!
(Thats like a "redneck" for those in the USA)
Her comments smack of someone who fires off comments without properly thinking them through....
original thread here.
update: so, after the meeting i had with elders a few weeks ago as outlined in my original thread, they met as a body and once again called to tell me that after considering my case they still thought a judicial committee should be held against me and asked to be there "thursday at 7:30".
all of this, i remind you, because of posting coc on facebook.
So now, instead of posting CoC on FB, why not post the "elders" book instead?
hehe
ok so i was stupid and looked at the text for today, i do not know why i did it.
i lost a couple of brain cells and put myself into an even deeper depression over it.
it was just that my husband had it out and i thought what can it hurt, wondering what they are up to.
Yes, the F.O.G is still strong
Fear
Obligation
Guilt
we all gossip.
it is only human.
watchtower actually tries to instruct adherents not to gossip and it can land a jw in front of a judicial committee—some do try to follow this admonition.
In answer to the thread question:
Well, I cant actually say, but I did hear from a sister's friend in another congregation who's husband is an elder, that the CO told them that in another part of the world the brothers did report that there are more that get hurt by gossip each day. But he did say to not tell anyone, but I know I can trust you to not share this news because we are friends...so shhh
did anybody see the service meeting video this week?.
australian sister was sexually abused as a child and thought of ending her life at 14 years old, sometime later jw's call on her father who accepts a study and eventually the whole family becomes witnesses, life gets much better as the sister immerses herself in pioneering etc, she still has some dark days but prayer along with going for walks and swimming has helped her cope with bad memories of child abuse, the new system (just around the corner) will completely fix everything......... i'm dumbfounded, the hypocrisy has literally rendered me speechless......comments anybody?.
Yes, as Tor1500 says, it is a case of classic "misdirect", like the old '3 card hustle' game...
They are attempting to misdirect the attention in Australia from the 1006 cases of unreported child abuse since 1950 (out of a total of presently 60,000 witnesses - do the maths...that is a HUGE proportion of families affected!)
Where is the humble admission that "it happens even amongst witnesses"
Where was the recommendation to "seek professional counselling or speak to authorities"?
Sure, if that sister's case is genuine, we feel empathy for her. But what about all the other cases where the society had the power to PREVENT or REPORT cases that happened inside?
this is as it was originally, or at least at the time that paul grundy saw it, because he has this picture on jwfacts:.
this is what it says on jwfacts right now:.
watchtower articles on evolution contain a consistent pattern of poor research, such as quotes from both the january and august awake!
never have I seen the society apologise for getting something wrong!
instead, we see them make attempts to justify or excuse errors in some way....
