" it began to morph from a friendly "we are here to help you" chat to an investigation to see if they could glean enough information to start a judicial committee."
Oh wow!!! This is EXACTLY what happened to us. All friendly and concerned until the wolves in sheeps clothing come out. It's amazing how you see these "loving shepherds" morph into ravenous wolves. It's incredible to see it with your own eyes.

I agree with the fall guy comments. In addition...tell them you would need some financial help! This may keep them from contacting you again.

This is what has worked well for us. Tell them that you are doing fine and if you need their assistance YOU have their contact info and will get in touch with them. In other words, don't call us, we'll call you. You may have to do this several times and even get firm with them. Keep repeating this. It is kind of like a cat and dead mouse game. If the cat has nothing to toy with, eventually it will loose interest.
Don't answer their texts, phone calls or the door. They will get the point eventually. As soon as you start talking, they WILL come after you. Slow, steady and quiet is the key. If you decide one day that you want to spill all and don't care about the end result, go for it and let em have it. lol
it's goodbye to bristol - hengrove congregation of jw's and the inmates ... err ... members, will be sent to two other bristol congregations either side of it.. i'm told by two elders from bristol, england it is being disbanded on may 1st 2018. this is the 2nd congregation in this circuit to be disbanded recently - the 1st being portishead in late 2014.. hooray!.
Great news!! Jehovah sure is speeding up the work! lol
i heard avoidjw.org is under legal attack from the watchtower society.
it's a shame because it's such a wonderful resource.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cmhopfvoim.
does anyone know what is happening with this site?
Avoid JW scares the hell out of WT. Thank you to Atlantis and others, WT will NEVER be able to stop the flow of material that scares WT so much!
Thank you all who are helping us all out!!! We appreciate all that you do!!!!

"Find the best kind of friends?"
This is TOO funny! The kind of "friends" who turn their backs on you, as soon as you leave or ask questions. lol
Yeah, conditional friends are the best kind...NOT!
All my JW "friends" are gone! Their loss!
My best advice to anyone wanting to join the WT/JW cult movement.....RUN LIKE HELL!!!!
i haven't stopped laughing since i heard this.
a pimo in my last congregation told me that an elder has been removed from his elder position.
apparently he grabbed another elder by the throat, put him up against a wall in the back room and punched him in on the nose... during an elders meeting on thursday evening after the meeting.. the congregation were running round like headless chickens wondering what to do?
My Dad was an Elder and many many times he came home furious and red faced. Why the heck any man would want to do all this work for free and have all the additional stress. Yikes!!!

"The elder who got a whack on the nose is a total prick though. The elder who threw the punch is also a total prick."
So many pricks. lol
This is all that is going to be left on the Elder bodies. Pricks! They will feed on each other. Fun to hear about! Don't you just love these "fine experiences?" ha ha
Deborah, thank you for making this new addition available. Sorry, about the loss of your husband. Mike and Kim, thank's for making this great news available. Just ordered our copy. Hope it becomes a best seller!
it just took me by surprise.
i remember him from a decade or so ago.
he came up with gems like, “weddings are for women, they are not necessary.” also, “if you want to be truly happy, marry an ugly woman.”.
"Good luck to them making their own way in the world that they knocked so much."
I agree with LongHairGal. I have heard so many CO's, Bethelites or Pioneers talk poorly of those who go for Higher education. Funny thing....they sure like the money that these ones who seek higher education make. They will GLADLY take that!!
