important news:.
here in the united states, on wednesday morning, march 11th at 12:35 a.m., est, barring any breaking news the day before, the program, nightline, will air as their lead story a 9-minute segment about the watchtower (jehovah's witnesses).
the program is 30 minutes long and this segment is only one part of the show.
no aude, it is always EST, CST regardless of daylight savings time. That is why we say
spring forward one hour- you lose an hour and just go on . If a program comes on at 8pm, that is when you watch it. no change in program times.
fall back one hour. you gain an hour. I like fall the best. No change in program times,
time switches at 2am both times so
our computer and TV auto adjust the time for DST
btw to lose who do not use it, a lot of us HATE DST

I believe she is saying it will be on Tuesday, March 10 at 11:35 CST and anyone can adjust that from whatever time zone they are in
considering the fact that the wt society refuses to release in courts any of it's written directions to elders through confidential letters to elder bodies- i thought i'd do the courts and wt society a "favor " by posting excerpts from this oct 1st.
2012 letter from the wt society to all bodies of elders.
these instructions are very exposing of the negligence of wt authorities in how they view the seriousness of felony child abuse.
Thanks Flipper for this topic. I know I can count on you and others to keep this conversation going.
Yes Kanon, that is exactly what they do, Silence the abused and guilt them into forgiving and mostly keeping quiet. . After all, they ( the victim) is not perfect either. Straight out of Pedophile Grooming 101.
I knew in late 80's that this day would arrive. I told a BOE that the day was coming when all the vile things they have hid would be exposed. It has taken a while but the day has arrived . My hubby reminds me that Al Capone ( mafia mob boss) was ultimately arrested and put in prison NOT for mafia crimes but for tax evasion. It always comes down to money . Exposure of their corrupt practices and being sued for all the money they told us they did not have.
i think we've all noticed a ton of newbe's these past months.
one part of escaping or thinking about escaping the jw's is coming to terms with what you believe now and/or what direction you are leaning towards.. here is a site that has a quick quiz that may be of some worth or just for fun.
i took it when i first signed on here and the results surprised me because it was pretty accurate.. you don't have to sign up for anything and when you finish you will get a percentage answer on 20 major belief systems.

i been married to my husband for almost 9 years.
he's been a witness his whole life but got disfellowship a little over 15 years ago.
before his dis fellowshiping he was very active.
From what I recall in the mags and what elders say, Df'ing IS NOT punishment. It is a casting out, basically the death penalty. In ancient Isreal you could be stoned but sadly the WTS does not have the power to do that. You are on your own to get back. Eat dirt and crawl in the back way , sit on the back row until they feel they have humiliated you enough. It is very dependent on each Boe .If you were well liked or the family of elders or others who are important, perhaps it goes a bit easier. .
Punishment would include marking and reproff announced to the congregation. Punishment and DF'ing are not the same thing.
