You could lay out some jw books and jw magazines at "appropriate" articles that suggest that non jw's examine their religion to make sure it is true, leave out old books like the harp of god or millions now living will never die......... It probably makes no difference, they know something is up anyway. We hide all our books, Ray Franz, Carl Jonnson, Edward Gruss, etc, but they are in the cupboard if they get snoopy..... My mother-in-law came over and told us about what a great talk the CO gave. She was just about to tell us stuff from it and I said that she should expect a great talk from him, thats why they pay him the big bucks!! we laughed and she shut up!!

Getting to understand the same feelings. We breezed into a District Convention last year....just to be seen then had lunch and quietly left.....picked up all the new releases blah blah blah. We did sit through the one day assembly and felt nauseous all day...what a waste of time, could have stayed in bed and enjoyed a JW free day in town! Didnt go the the 2 dayer. No one has even asked what happened or where were/are you... The memorial shouldn't be a problem next year.

Governing Body and rank and file liabilities
by greendawn ini get the impression that generally the rank and file jws are to be thought of as victims whereas the governing body are the real and only villains in this organisation.
.
do you think this is a valid opinion especially when it comes to the elders and circuit/district overseers who willingly enforce the gb's often criminal policies?

Initially, one might think so, but so many JW's have a mind set that also keeps the whole thing going. How is a person who has a slightly different point of view treated by the rank and file?
Yes, they are taught this through peer pressure [brainwashing], but this attitude keeps it going, so that whatever policies the GB bring in Elders etc will enforce it as the R & F publishers expect them to do so. -

Sunday Program - My input
by Flindersgirl inhey all!
i have about 9 million emails and phone messages today..so that's interesting.
aside from having the intial reaction of how horrible i look on telly (which i always have) and my partner swatting me for saying it i was amused to see they only used one quote from what was a long interview.

Applicable music blondie...nice touch.
An elder can pack it in...I did it too. I said that I needed a break. I was pretty full on and intense about the whole thing and had had a gutfull of the BS that is the domain of an elder. Most cant even think how the WTBTS wants them to think, let alone think for themselves, you just get sick of dumb decisions and then trying to cushion it for people who dont really care anyway or would follow like a lemming straight over a cliff......I could go on. -

Aussies Who Missed The Sunday Program...

Yes Miss_MG, that is the thing that makes me sick. The Rank and File believe, thanks to the letter that was read out in 2002 that pedophiles are turned over to the police. I had it said to me then by members of the cong "isn't that good? They will be dealt with properly, by the police". That is the smoke screen that was intended. Yet a simple phone call to the local police tells other wise. The is still "eclesiastical privelege". there is NO mandatory reporting of child abuse for Elders in Australia. I dont think that legal requirement has changed. But all the witnesses believe that the elders will get the police involved.

Hey, nice to see so many ausies having a comment. The show was very good. I only hope that channel nine are able to do some more. There must be plenty of others in congregations other than Cooma.
John Wyngate will have a bit of trouble going door to door for a while you would imagine. He is about to become a victim himself...this time of the WTBTS. Will they back him?
What about the courage of those victims?... They are all legends -

I am not sure what it is like where you reside, but most congregations that I know of have a mailing address the same as the PO's...his home address is the official address for the congo. You could chain Rottweilers to the front gate...
