We knew of situation. When their father died they had to go thru all his paperwork. He was an Elder for many years. His son found a file at his home of J.C. Notes and the copies of the signed DF forms the Elders sent off to HQ with reasons for their actions. He now knew all the details of 2 brothers and 1 sister in his hall. 3 different judicial committee private notes were unsecured. He was not a servant. His wife read them too. So much for Jehovah's holy spirit protecting confidential information!

"And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"
by Terry ini always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.
i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.
so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

Terry. Very well done! Don't feel bad for them. Would they have cared about your feelings if you stated you were an apostate? Probably not. I am sure when they got home they did a Google search of their own. Enjoy your evening. 👍 -

"Of course, I don't want to talk to you about that....."
by Phizzy inthe thread title refers to a number of times i have heard those words, or "substance thereof" lol, from jw's.. they are referring to my/our reasons for leaving.. it occurs to me that the correct response is not a "respectful", " i understand", but rather should be :.
" why ever not ?".
if they have "the truth" why should they not discuss and defend it ?.

They can't defend it. They don't understand it themselves. -

Jw kids setting off fire alarms in hotels
by purrpurr ina friend of mine is staying at a hotel next to one of the big convention sites this weekend.
yesterday she tells me one of the hotels had to be evacuated and the fire brigade called when the fire alarm went off.. it turned out to be a bunch of jw kids having a prank.
she had been speaking to the hotel manager who told her that this happens every year and only when the jw's come to stay!.

how the things are going with my sister
by opusdei1972 inthis morning i phoned my sister so as to know how the things are going with her problem with the congregation.
if i remember well, five weeks ago, my sister was asked by the elders (in the street) to attend a judicial meeting for apostasy.
my sister told them that she firstly needs a formal letter specifying who is accusing her.

They are chicken shi*s! Once they learn that there is legal counsel involved, they bolt. This is how I would play it. They want to bully, that is what they are good at. Once you involve legal representation, they will head for the hills! Cowards!!!
They want to intimidate the weaker ones because they know they can. Once they meet a stronger one, they run! They can't handle it!

As Robin Williams said in the movie, Dead Poets Society. "Carpe diem. Seize the day Boys. Make your lives extraordinary."
All you Ex JW's..."Carpe Diem!"

Enjoy the day Cognac...enjoy your 6 year olds birth date. Life's too short!!!
