Eighteen years after 1961, or in 1979, two of the anointed were arrested in Fort Pierce Florida for shoplifting. They took pens and pencils to use for the "written review" because the congregation didn't have enough pens to go around.

Nothing was done. Due to their age and the medications they were taking, the elders felt the issue should be swept under the carpet.

Three JW's were in the store and saw the anointed husband and wife walked out with the police. (One of them was my pioneer buddy)

It wasn't long before the whole congregation knew what had happened, and overlooked the issue due to the old age of the anointed.

Stealing is also a disfellowshipping offense. It would just depend on the body of elders of a congregation. Stealing a few pens and pencils, and willfully getting a blood transfusion could be judged differently by a judicial committee.

Elder's kids could also get away with just about anything. Time and time again there have been testimonies of these. Elder's wives also.

In September 1959, Anne and I were invited to serve at Bethel in Paris, France, where I was assigned to take the lead in printing. Up until the time of our arrival in January 1960, printing had been done by a commercial firm. Since The Watchtower was then banned in France, we printed the magazine each month in the form of a 64-page booklet. The booklet was called The Interior Bulletin of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and it contained the articles to be studied in the congregations for the month. From 1960 to 1967, the number of those sharing in the preaching work in France increased from 15,439 to 26,250.

Letter to the pioneers

by DAWUD in

hey!.

is it true that the pioneers used to get letter each year?

does anyone have any?.

Atlantis

vienne:

It can be done, but not right now. It will take quite some time to collect them all and organize them. I will have to work on it a little at a time.

I have already been asked to scan another "Fat Boy" and that will take quite a bit of time also.

"The Bunker" episode

by neat blue dog in

if you like criminal minds check out season 13 episode 6, the bunker.

of course it borrows from cults in general but some jw similarities as well, such as emotional propaganda videos, us vs them, telling new converts that they're going to be persecuted and told lies about the organization, end of the world fear etc.. here's an idea: if you're pimo, watch it with a jw relative and watch the discomfort ensue 😏.

The Bunker--Criminal Minds

Under the picture of the man and the woman in the movie we read: (3rd picture down)

Now onto the unsubs. They were a boring pair.

They were both apparently true survivalists who were convinced the end was near.

I believe Irene was largely operating from a decent place, once you get past the, you know, kidnapping. She felt she was giving her clients a chance at a better life. Whether they wanted that chance was a completely different question.

Coleman, on the other hand, just wanted to be the last man on Earth, surrounding by, in many cases, attractive young women. He was a typical doomsday cult leader and was just using Irene for her contacts and her real estate.

Yeah, he was kind of a dick. I mean, killing a pediatrician they needed just because she wasn't enough of a true believer.

Yes, that statement is enough to sour your stomach! Others may want to have a brown paper bag handy when they read that one. Their take on it is, you "remove" yourself from the congregation by getting a transfusion. You, disfellowship yourself sort of speaking. But we know better than that don't we? You can always rely on the Tower to put a bad taste in your mouth. When I think of all those young kids who died because they refused a transfusion, it makes me sick.

Questions From Readers
● One of Jehovah’s witnesses who claims to be of the anointed remnant recently went to the hospital and took a blood transfusion, voluntarily. Should she be allowed to partake of the emblems of bread and wine at Memorial time?—R. J., United States.

We, of course, regret with you that this sister who professes to be one of the anointed remnant took a blood transfusion voluntarily during her stay in the hospital. We believe that she did the wrong thing contrary to the will of God. However, congregations have never been instructed to disfellowship those who voluntarily take blood transfusions or approve them. We let the judgment of such violators of God’s law concerning the sacredness of blood remain with Jehovah, the Supreme Judge.

The only thing that can be done in the cases of individuals like this is to view them as immature and therefore not capable of taking on certain responsibilities, hence refusing to make certain assignments of service to such ones.

Since an individual is not disfellowshiped because of having voluntarily taken a blood transfusion or having approved of a dear one’s accepting a blood transfusion, you have no right to bar this sister from the celebration of the Lord’s Evening Meal. As an anointed member of Christ’s body she is under orders and command by Christ Jesus to partake. Whether she is unfaithful as to what she professes to be by virtue of taking the emblems of the Lord’s Evening Meal is something for Jehovah God to determine himself. His judgment begins at the house of God. It is not for you or anyone serving the Memorial emblems to act as the judge, but to allow the emblems to go to anyone in the audience as these are passed along in the normal manner of letting each one have the opportunity to partake.
