Quick, someone call the elders
by kenpodragon inone thing i remember when i was a witnesses, was the lack of responsibility we had to take for our own actions.
if we said something and someone took it wrong and we were attacked for it.
well we would call the elders and they would work it out and people would have to accept their council.

My Dumb Ass JW Brother
by Reborn2002 inas some of you know from my sharing portions of my story on this board before, i disassociated myself from the jehovah's witnesses in 2001. my family, including my mother, sister, and brother, remain jehovah's witnesses.
i have an extremely limited relationship with my mother and sister.
i possess no relationship whatsoever with my brother, his wife, and their now 1 yr old son.

Hi Reborn2002
Just needed to put in my 2 cents worth regarding your brothers mess. I say mess because that's what it is. If misery loves company you have lots of friends here.
It's extremely frustrating what this JW cult has done and continues to do, to DUMB people down regarding reality. The notion that "Jehovah will provide" directly in ones own affairs defies logic. But it is a constant, and an end result of the brainwashing that pervades many of those who go to the 5 meetings a week and hear the same shit over & over & over again. I have seen the same the types of situations that confront you regarding your brother again and again. And I admit they are certainly a cause for anger. The feelings you have regarding your brother (in my opinion) are quite normal, and well founded, and is difficult to be pacifistic and/or numb to all of this. Ostensibly you care for them.
Anyone who has been involved in this cult for any length of time, and is honest enough to admit it, knows that what your brother is doing is NOT the exception to the rule but rather the rule. Many of the people I have known in this cult maintain the exact same mentality. The " go on welfare and pioneer" and "we'll wait on Jehovah" mindset has been the demise of many especially as they get older. Many of them don't have shit and rely on the goodness of others, and because of their JW mentality EXPECT IT and DO NOT appreciate it when something gets done for them. They think it's from Jehovah.
So anyway regarding your brother unless he changes his mind on these things this system especially in this country will eat him alive. A real conundrum for sure.
Again just my 2 cents worth Hang in there, maybe he'll come to his senses soon!

Dinner with an "Annoited" one
by johnathanseagull inhmmmm don't think i've ventured as far as posting any personal experiences but how about this one.
as a very very impressionable 16 year old, i happen to be at dinner with parents at an "annoited" person's house.
she was single in her sixties then and carried an air of.......mmmm lets say mystic (for the want of a better word)........lunch was served and it was all very serine as you could imagine being in the presence of such a person.

That was nineteen years ago.
I wonder how she'd answer that question today?
Four years, maybe?
She's probably say Oh it's just around the corner.

Update from Ray Franz
by Amazing inlast night, after my post regarding ray franz comments of bill bowen's posted statements, i received a good number of email and phone calls.
one item consistently surfaced regarding ray's assignment to write the chapter in the book, organization for kingdom preaching and disciple-making, by the title of safeguarding the cleanness of the congregation.
in the chapter, the "two witness" rule was outlined.
