Lumping everybody together is convenient. My wife and I just DA'd and are waiting for notification of our announcement. Maybe if the two of us go out together people may realize it was our choice, who knows. A few do know for sure, as we wrote goodbye letters to family.

" --is no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses"
by prologos ini am too old understand the rc exchanges, but i can think of this scenario:.
a brother writes a letter that he can not continue support the organisation, congregation because of the spasm between new and old light*, will stop service.
* within a short time a brother is found to be a serial child rapist and because of the publicity,- disfellowshipped .

@umbertoecho
I thought the same thing. Jackson was using it as a chance to witness about the size of the organization and the supposed brotherhood where elders know and care about all of their sheep (never seen it). Blah, blah, blah, just a lot of fluff and McLellan get sick of it.
I love how Jackson gets mad when Angus doesn't follow along as he goes on his long diatribes with scriptures about something that doesn't answer the question asked anyway. Angus is shuffling papers and preparing his next point as Jackson attempts to dazzle them, and then Jackson gets mad and questions whether or not Angus can hear him. You're not so worshiped on this stage, eh Mr. Jackson? You can't get away with deflection so easily, can you? I love how they call him out for not answering direct questions, though honestly I think they're giving him too much leeway to dodge and divert with his "explanations" of things that frankly aren't often even relevant. He's trying to take control of the hearing with his long forays into other topics to divert and delay. I'm glad that it isn't working.
Oh, and sorry, but I can't remember the various female judges off the top of my head. I'm terrible with Bible stories. My wife was talking about it while we were watching, but she went to bed, where I need to head off to myself. I want to stay up but can't pay for it tomorrow at work.

Man, has anyone else been screaming at the screen for the RC to point out that women were indeed judges in the Bible? Jackson keeps saying that it has been men only throughout, and that's not true. I hope they use that at some point.
I wish I didn't have to get some sleep, but work will be there tomorrow whether I get some or not. Stupid lunch. Come on, let's keep this going!

Yes Cha Ching, it seems that he only saw what the brothers said in hearings. He managed to miss everything else somehow. -

Wow, what do you expect? You get to hide and he should have to answer for you? It isn't fair to expect him to do anything more than he did, which seems healthy to me. -

2007 Awake mentions Child Abuse in Australia!
by SG098 inin the october 2007 awake!
page 11, the b0rg had the audacity to say this concerning child sexual abuse: "sadly, though, most of such [child abuse] crimes go unpunished by authorities today.
in australia, for example, it has been estimated that only 10 percent of offenders are prosecuted, and few are convicted.

It is truly mind blowing how they can write a lot of what they write with a straight face. Articles on how we should never give anyone the silent treatment and then they impose shunning, pictures condemning peddling of medical treatments while they are the chief peddlers of the Word, and mentions like this one that show a total lack of self-awareness. They are just a caricature of what they think they are. -

I always wondered if they got kickbacks for putting us in hotels for conventions. I could go into the same town and find better deals on my own, but they were so adamant about sticking to the list. Did it really have to do with anything other than getting kickbacks for bringing everyone in? Just something I've wondered because you can't ever trust the reasoning they give for things due to their propensity for spinning tales about what's behind their actions. -

They don't need an affiliate link if they have a discount code that could be tracked. If this is seriously for real, it is really shameful how wrapped up in commercialism they have gotten. Then again, I had heard that they were part of a project whereby you can buy things on Amazon and have basically affiliate commission given to non-profits, JW being one. Not sure if that's true either. -

Regarding not being viewed negatively when one fades.. An experiment?
by disposable hero of hypocrisy inin joe134cd's recent thread, he mentioned the myth that apparently one should be able to fade or become inactive without repercussions from the community.
he mentioned about the 'dropping-you-like-a-hot-potato' phenomenon from social media sites, even when you've not told anybody why you're not coming any more.. i propose that it may be good to record such a phenomenon when it occurs so that this lie can be readily rebuffed.
i'm not out yet, but when i do, i shall be only to willing to record the response on social media sites.

The only flaw I see is that the only people that will care is us who try to fade. JW's don't care about proof of anything negative about them. They will turn a blind eye, make excuses like it was only those handful of times, etc. Seems like an exercise in futility, unless you're trying to prove it to someone specific that you think will listen.
