  Confidential Body of Elder Letters from 1981 through 2006

  by Elsewhere in

  here it is guys.

  this is what darth frosty was talking about in his post the other day (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/149460/1.ashx).

  this is a collection of confidential letters from the watchtower society that were sent to the bodies of elders in the years 1981 through 2006. these are the letters that you were never meant to see or read.. there's all sorts of information in them ranging from the boring and mundian to instructions about how to handle child molesters.. many thanks to darth frosty and others (who i'm not sure can be named) who worked very hard and took risks to collect and scan the information.

  this is a good resource. Thank you!

  i cant download any to my computer for certain reasons..but i'd be interested in a few subjects.

  1. what letters stated during the time the publications went from cost to donation.

  2. what letters stated about the generation change in the mid 90s.

  3. if any addressed the UN situation (although i'm pretty sure none ever did)

  4. any and all letters that deal with finances.

  5. letters that deal with illegal immigrants and how to handle members who arent here legally

  6. letters that deal with kingdom hall remodelling or rebuilding

  so those of you that peruse them deeply let us know if any of those subjects are mentioned.

  Tommorrow's Daily Text - this made me so mad!!!

  well lets get off to a good start for the year by using jesus to justify staying with your abusive husband:.

  thursday, january 3. when [jesus] was being reviled, he did not go reviling in return.

  when he was suffering, he did not go threatening.-1 pet.

  abusive non believing husbands will become jehovahs witnesses because they will have an authority base telling their wives to "try harder to be a good wife" " be more submissive" "dont do things to make him angry" "remember he is the family head put in that position by god himself" blah blah blah etc putting the blame of the abuse all on the abused spouse instead of on the abuser..hence justifying the abusers behavior.

  makes me angry too!

  link the news video which details who cano was and what he did and what he had in his car when he was preying on little boys.

  the vaseline shot made a lot of people cringe.

  Own up time...

  well it looks like this site is a real melting pot, a broad spectrum of views and beliefs.

  for sure there are many disaffected ex jws.

  so in as few words as possible, preferably not more than one sentence, how would you describe yourself spiritually?

  I'm afraid to believe anything cuz it might turn out to be bullshit like believing as a witness was.

  How Do Elders Sleep at Night? a non exJW friend asked me

  by feenx in

  2. friends

  hey everybody

  so after my post yesterday in reference to the scan of the flock book, then going over the notes taken by the elder in north carolina in reference to child molestors taking authority roles in the congregation and the society instructing for previous records of their abuse to be destroyed, (which btw i love how it's noted that it's a rare case when that happens.

  umm...doesn't that just confirm that it has happened, since it's rare, and not just a "policy") i sent the photos to a friend of mine as we were discussing it all.

  more and more instruction to elders and those in power are how to protect NOT the members spirituality or the innocence of children but more how to protect the watchtower bible and tract society from legal problems. it does make people wonder how they sleep at night , the good ones dont sleep at night, they're online finding out how systemic the problems within the organization really are.

  What if God IS a farce?

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  that would really rock my world as i know it.

  after i initially left the jws' i did question the whole "is there a god"" especially when you look around and see all the atrocities - the sick sick things happening in your own back yard.then i put it out of my mind and carried on believing in a god.. right now i choose to believe in a god, whether that god be jesus, jehovah, buddha, allah, shiva, it doesn't matter - i'm happy with the idea that there is a spiritual & powerful someone running things.however lately i've been questioning again - so many posters on here that are atheists really make good arguments & i can't reason my way out of it.. why does god keep so quiet?

  why not just let us know - tadaaaa i'm here.

  dunn and bradstreet you can do a search by company by state.. a lot comes up but if subsidiaries are in individual peoples names you may have a harder time finding companies associated with the watchtower
