  CO Comes Up With A New Way To Be Judgemental...

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  at the latest co visit something very strange happened.

  during the meeting with the elders and servants he passed out a copy of a hypothetical publisher card and asked us what we could learn from it.

  upon receiving it i saw that the average hours were pretty good, it had return visits and quite a few bible studies.

  How was it for you when you had to shun someone?

  by Anator in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember a good friend when i was in and active who was d'fd.

  when he started coming back, for me at that time is was gut-wrenching not to say 'hello' or at the very least encourage him to continue.

  i thought even at this time, does this act of shunning really effective?

  If I saw them at the KH, I nodded my head and give them a big, warm smile. If I saw them out of the KH, I talked with them.

  My experience with a Judicial Committee, when in my early 20's

  by Dunedain in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i joined this wonderful site, only a few weeks ago, although i have been away from the borg, for almost 20 years.

  i didnt introduce myself, on a personal level, but i jumped right in, commenting, making threads, and just immersing myself in this community.

  what a time, indeed, to be here, its almost as if i was "called" here, because the week i lurked, and joined, was when all this recent stuff came out.

  I know the pain of sitting through those JCs. I sat through 7 or 8 of them, and showed up for a dozen more (the elders made appointments with me and didn't show up for those). I never knew of what I was being accused. That was 18 years ago, and I'm still not over the trauma of the whole thing. I've never seen such cruel behavior and gloating over destroying a sister. I believe your story 100%.

  I'm so sorry! I feel badly for you, first, for the loss of your mother, and second that no one had the decency to let you know right away.

  I'm so sorry for your sadness. It is a very painful to see our parents become ill. I know your mom loves you and is thankful for your company and support.

  Don't trust anyone with your children. I learned the hard way. My sons were molested by an elder, a con artist and pervert, whom was our "trusted friend". This event changed our lives forever, we suffered and are still suffering because I was so stupid.

  Extrapolation of the Australia child abuse numbers

  by sir82 in

  2. child-abuse

  (let me know if anyone thinks my assumptions are way out of line, or if i've forgotten anything).

  basic facts:.

  the australian royal commission has 1000+ documented cases of child abuse over 65 years.

  This is the only organization (that I know of) in which the sympathy and support goes to the perpetrator. I know, because my sons were molested by an elder, and their best friend was drugged and raped by this same elder (he had also been observed having sex with a young boy). We suffered tremendously, and the last I heard the criminal is an elder again. (I have moved to a different state since this happened). I am df'd, and in my inquiries into getting reinstated into various KHs, I have been told of other pedophiles in these KHs in good standing. Believe it or not, elders and their wives will talk to a df'd person, and give out more info than they should. I have learned more about the inner workings of JWs since I have been df'd than when I was a JW in good standing.

  I am thrilled to hear of the Australian inquiries. Maybe, just maybe, there will finally be some concern and kindness going towards the victims, and the JW pedophiles, rapists and con-artists will get there deserved reservation in a dirty little cell in some faraway prison.

  Disfellowshipping Image

  by naazira in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this photo can be found in the april 15 , study edition article titled:.

  why disfellowshipping is a loving provision.

  just by looking at this image we can see how quickly the barrier between the congregation and former member is put up, after the announcement that this sister is no longer one of jehovah's witneses.

  I showed this picture to my hubby. He said, "Someone in Bethel is trying to tell the reader that it's not real. 'It' being a loving, Christian organization.

  The df'ing article is hateful, and the picture is shocking, face in the chair and all. To me, the face in the chair, looks like the elder's face, the elder talking to the young couple.

  But, to me, elders are ugly and cruel.

  Maybe my glasses are foggy, but does it look like there is a face on the right wall, next to the df'd woman? It's easier to see on the JW.org pic.
