I must emphasize what sir82 and stuckinarut2 said about the danger of meeting with two elders. My personal experience proves that true. In my case two elders quickly became three.

Advice needed on Crisis of Conscience
by cappytan inso, some of you may have seen my thread from yesterday about my wife waking up.. we had further discussion yesterday evening after i sent her the pbs video on the abuse scandals plaguing the watchtower.
she was so furious and pissed off at wt hq.
apparently a close relative of her's was abused by an elder and the only reason he was reproved and removed as an elder was because he confessed.

@ quest81,
"Something is going on, either more JWs or those affected by the religion are becoming TTATT aware and buying it or the WT is buying copies in print to prevent people from accessing the book."
I don't think the Watchtower is going to be purchasing books at $100 or more. It's simply out of print which makes it rare and expensive.

Cappytan, you should not have told her how it affected you. I would suggest you wait a short while and then send her the PDF. Unfortunately it's longer in print and is unavailable except at ridiculous prices. If you can get the physical copy for a decent price that might be better. Nothing beats an old fashioned book in one's hands. -

@ Coded Logic: "I guess I just never thought they'd turn into Pentecostals."
Maybe they'll start speaking in tongues.

It's turning out our religion is one of the worst offenders when it comes to child abuse
by My Name is of No Consequence inremember when we pointed out how bad child abuse was among christendom?
over the last few years, i haven't heard anything about the rampant abuse claims in christendom.
it's turning out that we have our own to deal with, a lot to deal with.

I like this thread but why are you calling it "our religion"?

Jehovah's Witness Elder poisoned by excommunicated man
by sherrie11 indisgruntled jehovahs witness was caught on camera poisoning his elders milk with weed killer after being excommunicated over an extramarital affair, a court has heard.
for the first time, the advertiser can name and show brett darren mardon, who is standing trial accused of attempting to put three lives at risk the elder, his wife and their young child.. he has denied injecting milk, apple juice and other liquids in the refrigerator of ben anthanysz with glyphosate a weed killer that causes health problems if consumed in large quantities.. mardon has maintained his innocence of the charges despite being recorded by a cctv camera mounted in the anthanyszs kitchen.. opening the trial, prosecutor nick healy said mardons actions were a vengeful response to his church peers ignoring his existence, as required by their faith.. he said mr anthanysz had been part of a three-person jehovahs witness committee that censured mardon for having sex with someone while married.. mardon was part of the jehovahs witness congregation based at crafers, and was excommunicated because of moral issues, he said.. an excommunicated member is still entitled to attend church meetings, however none of the congregation can speak to him while they are there.. mardon, 47, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of attempting to create a risk of harm and three counts of serious criminal trespass in a place of residence.. he has pleaded guilty, however, to two counts of theft namely stealing personal documents from mr anthanyszs home.. http://www.news.com.au/national/south-australia/sa-court-told-brett-darren-mardon-poisoned-the-milk-of-jehovahs-witness-elder-after-he-was-excommunicated-from-the-faith/story-fnii5yv4-1227238876533 .
