family move to remote pacific island to serve were the need is great get a mention in the year book.. however one of the (married) boys in the large family has sex with his sister while his wife is in hospital giving birth to their child.
.
all hushed up not even a word said and hes now an elder d.fing people for lesser crimes.. young couple dating leave the jws and move in togather doing drugs partying ect.. his family grandfather,uncles, dad ect are all elders.. after a few years they decide to come back to the jws and are married in the k.h a few months latter.. 1 elder questions them getting married in the k.h and is voted down by his family.. to many drunks and c.s.a to mention.. karter..
What gets covered over? Usually, crimes and sins committed by family and friends of the local elders...who are well-liked. Who is well liked? Those who give green handshakes.
Bigger financial stuff? Regional assembly hall and building committee members fudge the numbers that are reported to the publishers. Lots of kickbacks and graft that benefit Watchtower.
since covid in france, especially in the countryside with lack of brothers, it was quite common that some sisters were using the computer at the back of the kingdom hall to manage zoom session.. i heard a rumor that new instructions, maybe a july letter, stated that this was reserved for male only, even unbaptised publishers, but no sister if there is at least a male available.
that would be a steps back and disappointment for these sisters.
last week i heard at my mom’s house how they were happy that this service was available for them, a proof that the org was moving forward.
This secret inside video of the Governing Body( He-man Woman hater's club) explains everything!! :)
we have lonely old folks and even some not so old.. they know the gb are not who they claim to be.. but they stay in the congregation because they are lonely.
i wonder what percentage of jws this is the case, i would guess a lot.

Mom and her sisters all died with regrets realizing the Panda Bear petting zoo in the Swiss Alps promised by Watchtower was BS.
those of us who have deep roots into watchtower remember the shadowy whispers about "the evil slave" when we were kids.. for those that need to get up to speed: .
the internal crisis came to its full with the occurrence of an outstanding bible-predicted event, namely, the coming of jehovah’s “messenger,” christ jesus, to jehovah’s temple for judgment in the spring of 1918, to separate the “faithful and discreet slave” class from the “evil slave” group.

The weird thing was they were terrified I might call on their doors while out in service..like meeting satan himself. All the while proudly displaying all of Russel's "Study in the Scriptures" on the living room bookshelf with the family "information March" group photos and sound car photos.

Mom and my relatives whispered about the "evil slave" Aka "Russellites" in the early 60s. A few were alive in my San Francisco Bay Area territory then.
Last I heard they still print the old Pastor Russel books in New Jersey.

there was a knock at my door and i thought it was my take-away being delivered.. long story short, it was 2 elders calling to see me.
i guess to re-activate me.
once they said who they were i recognised them.
2 ELDERS?
Back in my Elder days, we showed up after lunch in jeans and tools to "encourage" by actually helping. Frequently with a close friend of the person.
If I were in territory doing door-to-door, I would have the wife, kid, random MS, or publisher with me.
Another elder? Sounds like "judicial investigation" assigned by Elder Body or C.O.

what to know.
a pennsylvania grand jury investigating child sexual abuse among jehovah’s witnesses has charged another five people with raping or molesting children as young as 4 years old.. the indictments friday are the latest charges in an ongoing probe that has identified 14 suspects.. state attorney general michelle henry says that while the misconduct dates back years or even decades, “the trauma endures for these victims.”.
This growing case has so many defendants it is hard to keep up!
I hope it continues to snowball and implicate headquarters staff criminally.
it's fairly evident to little old outsider me that the organisation has a class system, perhaps even a caste system.. from what i've read, there seems to not only be an official ranking system (m.s., elder, c.o.
) but an unofficial one.
has anyone ever sat down to figure out what the unofficial ranks are and how they affect the pecking order?
endless ranks. Most are based on being male, and the degree of testosterone.
what warnings are the cult giving the "sheeple?".
in the study article on page 20 - "are you heeding the warnings?
", jw's are threatened what their fate will be if they don't support the elite, "anointed" jw's, the 33 degree aka, the self-appointed gibbering body - they will be toast very soon:.
in holland we say "not because it is requierd, but because it's possible.
before we shaved, and now we let it grow.
pinky ring, too!.
The outward appearance of GB1.2 /GB2.0 vs GB 3.0 is dramatic.
I used to see GB Fredy Franz most days. He was no fashion leader. Mis-matched flannel shirts and ties were common. I had been to his spartan room a few times. He frequently helped clean and sweep after conventions. Compare his photo to any of GB 3.0s.
