Oh my word YES!
As a ministerial servant, I was OFTEN told the most intimate details of Judicial committee matters.
Often it was while at social events where elders who were known to overdrink, and hence "loosen their lips" would divulge things that should have been confidential! They would laugh and carry on while telling us these things. Their wives, and everyone were there listening.
I can remember saying "I shouldnt know of these things!" The reply I got? "Well, you will be the next elder, so its ok for us to tell you this"
Needless to say, I did NOT want to be part of that "boys club"!

How Would You Help A JW. Recognize They Do Not Have The Truth?
by minimus inevery witness says they are “ in the truth”.
that expression implies that what they say is the “truth “.
how could you help a witness understand that they clearly do not have “the truth “?.

I like to casually show that many other faiths call themselves "the truth", or use very similar wording...

Something I had never thought about re: the Borg's nonprofit status
by dubstepped ini am actually looking into the possibility of starting my own nonprofit for ex-jws with specific goals and i've learned more about the process.
i was interviewing someone for the podcast that is familiar with nonprofits and she told me something that i had never considered.
maybe everyone else has but i don't remember seeing anything about it here.

We have done some research here in Australia re the "charity status" that the local congregation has.
It is perplexing that they qualify as a registered charity, and therefore pay no tax. Yet, they also posted a $0 dollar income and $0 expenses to the govt.
In other words, they were not transparent about the true financials.

Reinstatement
by Pinky inwhat questions do the elders ask you when you are in your meeting requesting to get reinstated ?.
-
-
stuckinarut2
Much depends on the elders there, and whether or not they like the person or not.
If they have their own reservations about the one who wants to be reinstated, then they will make them jump through a multitude of hoops to prevent them coming back in easily.
