so i meet sister ott zealot.
she says ah .... its lovely to see you; how are you doing.
i said yeah i'm fine thank you!
I get an asset check up sometimes...."so, do you still own that house?" " where are you living now? Do you own or rent? How big? Is it a house, condo or trailer?" "Do you still own .....?"
as many of us saw in the pbs news hour program and the abc news nightline program the elders from one congregation failed to communicate properly to the elders in another congregation concerning the child molester jonathan kendrick when he moved to a new congregation.
i have parts of this " introduction letter " from the fremont congregation to the oakley congregation elders so you can read it for yourself and decide how irresponsible these wt appointed elders were.
dated 1/16/98 it opens : .
I would like a good response to those who say all this comes from apostate lies.
I'm in a somewhat negative mode right now....think most JWs I know would be troubled with possibility of it being true but without true evidence, would think it is a money grab and or satan/apostate attack.
so sad and frustrating.
tell us a little about yourself and your family.my parents became jw's in 1968. my oldest sisters came along in the early 70's because my parents thought they would not have to raise them in this "system of things".
are your parents / family jws?.
now we have great discussions about religion, life, the bible, god and my uber dub sister.
Greetings and thank you for sharing. Stories like yours really help me fight the "fog" that often still haunts me on the weekend. You are wise to discern what true friendship is NOT so that you can be the opposite and attract better friends.
i'm still working my mental shifting but am largely faded, inactive 11 months yet still not mentally "free" from guilt, and many beliefs/practices i've held for nearly 2 decades.
I've read that there is a CA Ex-JW meet-up every July. I believe Mr. Flipper coordinates it. If you are interested you might want to look it up. I believe they meet at campground in Lake Tahoe.
All the best to you and your son in proving what is true, living authentically with self-repect, integrity, more joy and a more refined BS detector.
Peace to you,
Stirred
i was asked recently by a still in friend (it was meant sincerely not sarcastically).
"but what do you do with that scripture so far as not attending meetings?".
i typed hebrews 10:25 in to the search bar but didnt get much.. .
what happened in bonham, texas?
: the body of elders and the majority of the congregation decided to leave the watch tower organization.
and with that, they took the kingdom hall.
Wow. This thread sure adds light to JW'strategice real estate direction. That they were burned once...they are mitigating as exodus puts them at risk for another move. Use smoke and lights (distractions of new publications/light/etc) to keep everyone distracted while they tighten the reigns.
i honestly have never heard such claptrap being delivered in a memorial talk.. the speaker repeatedly put down the way other religions administered the bread & wine, and claimed that witnesses do it exactly as the bible describes.
oh yeah????.
he forgot to mention - when reading aloud 1 corinthians 11:25 - that after passing the bread, a full meal was to be shared, before the wine was passed around!
An elder asked me tonight, mildly sarcastically, if I showed up to help boost attendance.

THANK YOU. First time going with awareness and saw and heard them say Judas NOT there ....only 11. I knew he was for bread and meal and confirmed tonight that he was ALSO there for wine. Made huge impact on hubby too. He finally started COC this week.
Lovely people I would likely not see unless I was there tonight. Almost exactly following outline and notes to letter as last year. I showed notes on iPad to hubby from last year during talk and he said we can stay home and follow same outline again next year!
Still trying to get my head around all this ....that Judas partook unworthily, but partook. We all do have free will.
Overall glad I went. I enjoyed it from a whole new angle.

jws "tabling" at my student center again, first time in over six months.
i wonder if the fact it's been 15 degrees out had anything to do with it?
