.Why are US JW rank & file being hit with $10.75 per publisher & UK JWs only £5.40?
maybe the UK dubs have more sense...maybe.

No more judicial committee if maybe suicidal
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inthe new direction in the new elders book is very clear.
absolutely no jd if there is a suspicion of suicidal thoughts.. this is obviously due to the high number of suicidal attempts after the announcement that someone is no longer a jw and the shunning that accompanied it.. so what will happen now going forward if situations arise where there would formerly have been a jd and they say there is suicidal thoughts?.
i can’t see it working, but elders stick rigidly to what it says in the book.

it all sounds like a legal cop out for the watchtower.

More than 17 years of service to the XJW community!
by Nathan Natas ini want to take a moment to salute rick fearon, an "apostate" near boston massachusetts usa who more than 17 years ago started the sixscreens telenetwork on youtube.
you can find it here: https://www (dot) youtube (dot) com/ (at) araretreat/streams.. like our benevolent host simon green here at jehovahs-witness.com, rick has not done his great work for his own financial enrichment or to collect followers for himself, as some xjw grifters have done and continue to do.. saturdays and sundays are the busy days at six screens, with call-in programs like:.

could someone be openly PIMO or at least PIMA and ........... keep coming to meetings?
ok--so i know it was a long time ago--and things in dubland have changed a lot over the years--but--
From being a pioneer..a servant..giving public talks home and away,...i resigned in the early 70's, But i still attended meetings now and then--to keep my wife from her endless nagging. Everyone knew i was an ex jw--but i wasnt d/f--and spoke freely and openly to others--just a few of the new elders ignored me--they didnt know what to do. But --more importantly--i wasnt the only one ! There were several other men that did the same thing--never giving answers or prayers.
I made the complete break in 1981..never looked back.

That's interesting. I knew that the elders' "arrangement" was new in the early seventies. Was it really pinched from the Mormons?
Ive honestly no idea--but the Mormons used the term before.
I cant think of a worse idea than young men being called elders.

Secret Elders Book? Bwahahaha!
by NotFormer ini remember a couple of decades ago when the internet was relatively young and the wt was at war with it, that they were battling to keep the pay attention book secret, commencing legal action against anyone who published it online (and of course, trying to out anyone who leaked it).
i think it was a norwegian skeptics organisation who had it available for download and dared the wt lawyers to come after them.. so i guess the new shepherd the flock book came out to try and put the genie back in the bottle and reassert some air of mystery and secrecy back into the equation.. so i typed jehovah's witnesses secret elder book into google.
colour me gobsmacked!
