judicial committee invitation comes, with be there or be square consequences.. ( come or we will df you ).
what are the sure fire, tested and true tactics that will keep the elders off your back?
( for good ).
Tell them you have been stumbled by some of the very same elder body. (pick any reason such as - elders not showing love - or greedy in business - or seemingly elder x seem to be very lording over people)
Say that you are not able to discuss it with them as it has emotionally affected you at the moment.
I dont want to be disturbed
I expect you to respect my wishes in this matter.
yes friends.....this is the comment said to me by an elder!.
"your bad attitude is evident because you don't bring your meeting bag anymore!".
i calmly replied: "but everything i need is on the tablet now......".
It is all about control.
He is not interested in your spiritual welfare
He IS interested to CONTROL YOU!. To make you submit to HIS WILL.
typical elder power trip
for only the second time in internet history, a video recording of a secret jehovah's witness apostasy trial has been published online on the jwstruggle youtube channel.
follow isaac's story here:.

Congratulations for making this video and Thanks Ray for putting it up.
To the maker,, You have done what others don't have the guts to do!.
You have done what we all should do, tear away from this god forsaken organisation. I congratulate you for having the strength to do this and moving foward with your life. It is not easy to do and harder still to rid onesself of the emotions of loosing everything you have known all your life. Good Luck!.
The first 2 minutes sum up the same emotions i went through.
A disgusting organisation that needs to be brought to its knees.
i'm not an expert but that is my understanding of this: .
opinion filed.. (signed published) the judgment against defendants on the negligence count is affirmed.
the judgment against watchtower on the cause of action for punitive damages is reversed with directions to enter judgment for watchtower on punitive damages.
I think they will appeal
the latest phase of the uk charity commission case included this:.
subsequent to the opening of the inquiry, in a letter dated 10 july 2014, mr cook of the watchtower informed the respondent that the disfellowshipping hearing for mr rose had in fact been carried out by the elders of a different congregation, so the charity had played no role in that process.
mr cook (who is the in-house solicitor at the watchtower) later elaborated on his own letter in a witness statement for the tribunal.
from the ruling: .
"we note that the congregation and the charity are one and the same entity in this case, so that whilst the congregation understandably wishes to follow its religious practices, its status as a registered charity brings with it, in exchange for public recognition and tax reliefs, a requirement to maintain certain standards of behaviour.
it also brings with it the risk that, if there are concerns about its activities, these might be inquired into by the respondent.
oh, there is one brother that keeps prattling on about "the 5 pillars of faith and worship".
- prayer.
- personal study.

after years of leaked info, the gb has finally decided to publish their own shepherding textbook in epub format.. dear brothers:.
we are pleased to inform you that the shepherding textbook is now available in epub,.
mobi, and pdf format.
thw wts likes to play games with their statistics.
one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?
if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.
So many JW's are self destructive.
Probably why they are one of the highest groups on anti depressant drugs.
Dosent aply to the GB as they are winners, with a showy dispaly of lifes luxurys.

this story makes me ill with rage.
this man's crime?
Porn in WT talk can mean a wide varity of things.
How was he found out, that woud be very interesting to know.
How come they were watching the site.. which site is this?.
The inquest could have asked more details about why they pressed him?
I too can count many deaths from the pressure that is handed out... Makes me so sad to remember those good people that took their lives and the arrogant comments of the hounders that pressed them hard...
