Just woke up

by Doctor Who in

new to the site.

currently i am a ministerial servant and was told i was appointed to be an elder.

i told the brothers i was not ready for that assignment.

Welcome Doctor Who. There seems to be ALOT of people waking up.

Yes...they hypocrisy is off the chain. It's all about appearances. If you LOOK spiritual and know all the right people, all is ok. We had an Elder in our hall (when we were still drinking the Kool Aid) who looked spiritual but oops got caught with his pants down (literally). We knew something was up with him for years. He sat in judgement of everyone else while he was carrying on with women. He was on a judicial committee with some good friends of ours all while he was playing hide the salami. He was a total ass to our friends who were going through alot.

Wait until you learn TTATT (The Truth About the Truth). We suggest you read Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz and also visit JW Facts. You will learn so much. The hypocrisy goes so much further than what goes on a the Kingdom Hall. This is why we made our exit. Read the past threads on here, so many new ones are joining and the fortunate ones who got out years ago can really help you through what will be a incredible eye opening experience.

Keep us posted on your journey.

According to Oct.1st 2012 WT Directions- Past Child Molesters CAN Be Appointed Elders

by flipper in

considering the fact that the wt society refuses to release in courts any of it's written directions to elders through confidential letters to elder bodies- i thought i'd do the courts and wt society a "favor " by posting excerpts from this oct 1st.

2012 letter from the wt society to all bodies of elders.

these instructions are very exposing of the negligence of wt authorities in how they view the seriousness of felony child abuse.

Great post.

It's unbelievable that they would let these sick predators EVER to have contact with children or their families. We can only hope that the media and attorneys will continues to put this info out there to the public. I think it is starting to happen. It will snowball..I believe that.

Stephen Lett said absolutely NOTHING about the countless lives that have been affected by the pedos or the harm to children and their families.

I don't think the JW religion will go away but I do think it's growth is stagnant, the money is not coming in and the masses are feeling beat down and tired (no encouragement, no kudos, no love and kindness). Nothing positive is happening and it shows.

We have heard so many active witnesses, that we still have contact with, tell us they are no longer donating. We have noticed that many of them will sit there and complain and bash the organization (Apostate style) and then say, "but it's still Jehovah's organization." Reminds us of the the Stepford wives! Crazy! Makes us want to scream...WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!

Why are so many Elders and Elders deleted so angry at the Flock?

by JWCartPusher in

has anyone else experienced the wrath of elders and ex-elders on innocent rank-and-file dubs?

what are these power hungry men and their wives so mad about?

where is the love we were promised when those witnesses spent hours indoctrinating us about the spiritual paradise of witnesses we would be joining?

When your dynasty starts to fall apart, you start to loose power. Then you just become like everyone else. Not so special. They are legends in their own minds.

JW's and the care of the elderly

by Lynnie in

i've been df'd for 35 years and my uber pioneer mother is getting on in years, 84 to be exact and starting to have signs of dementia and the social worker is worried that she can't be left alone at all anymore.

she just had her second hip replaced and is in rehab.

my uber elder cousin is the power of attorney since my mom was told i couldn't be trusted since i'm df'd.

Oh they do have facilities if you can afford $3500-$4900 per month. http://jah-jirehhomesofamerica.com/ I'm sure they make sure all wills and estates are made payable to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

Of course your cousin is too busy "in Jehovahs work" to care properly for your Mom but if and when it comes time to settle a will or an estate they are front & center. We have senior family members who are not being taken care of by there Uber dub JW's because the children are just too busy, so the congregation ends up with the responsibility. We have witnessed this in our own families several times. It's sad

The Watchtower organization's crime against humanity

by TerryWalstrom in

who are the real heroes of society?.

are they not the people who are doctors and nurses and teachers and firemen and policemen and counselors and humanitarians?.

because of the watchtower organization, we are missing generations of those kinds of heroes who will not exist (but could have) because jehovah's witnesses destroyed them by convincing millions of it's members those professions are meaningless and unimportant for them to pursue.

"fireman is a pretty popular gig among JWs that don't want to be janitors."

Ouch! How many firefighters died on 9/11? 343 firemen, 60 police officers and 8 paramedics. Along with thousands of innocent people.

Governing Body Member Stephan Lett Lies On JW.TV

by Finkelstein in

i thought it would be important to clearly point in the recent talk by governing body member stephan lett, that he did in fact deliberately lie concerning what he described as lies and false information by apostates, concerning the organization being permissive toward people in the organization who had been involved in pedophilia.

the truth of the matter is thats exactly what the organization has been doing and perhaps for a long time.

the recent candace conti law suit where she was awarded 28 million dollars was levied against the wts for its irresponsible behavior by the elders who gave no notification of the accused jonathan kendrick that he had been charged with pedophilia and spent months in jail for his actions .
