  I would have faded if my wife and the elders didn't make that impossible. But I refused to be DF'd when I had broken no moral principle. So I wrote "the letter" when they chased me down and gave me the judicial hearing dates. As has been already mentioned, you WILL be regarded like Public Enemy No 1, even and especially by your very best friends. Some family as my parents did MAY view "blood as thicker than water" and continue to have a relationship with you. But don't count on it unless you know for sure that they will.

  As for regrets I have none. I regret that I lost those friends, even though they were only so close when you consider that they could shun me over the word of an organization. But that was inevitable, even if I had only faded.

  So what's so special about the Faithful and Discreet Slave? Why does one need to be in step with them?

  Absolutely, particularly if they married became he came in. A prominent case of that is Emmanuel Zerbides in London, famous organizer of Meander Tours which takes JW's through the British Museum. Even if he married after he became a Witness he might after after a long time be appointed going by the rule that even someone who has sinned "grossly" after three to five years can get the whole thing expunged.

  Mr. Flipper Talks with Bethel Legal Service Desk Rep About JW Child Abuse

  by flipper in

  well - i had been wanting to do this for a long time , to question a legal department representative at bethel about the child abuse settlements and jw child abuse, since last year when the news came out about it.

  especially since my dad , an elder for years was never aware of it and has on his own taken steps to see that families with children are informed if a former pedophile is in their congregation.

  i was curious as to what the current views and policies in place are .

  and we figured there was no reason to inform congregations as they'd see the news reports and we felt the elders didn't need to hear about it.

  They have got to be kidding.

  New light on Noah?

  by mkr32208 in

  i was watching a special on the atacama desert in south america and they were showing huge sections of the desert that were bands of gypsum rock.

  it breaks down almost immediately with just the tiniest bit of water.

  they estimate it's age at 140 million years... so no water for at least a few million years!.

  The GB has so much riding on Noah. He was a "preacher of righteousness", so dubs should be. Jesus mentioned that the last days would be like the days of Noah. No Noah, then what about their end times cultish prophecies. They are probably married to the flood story, no matter how stupid it may be.

  There is no way that will work and for one very simple reason. Those who even know about this are already "weak in the truth" and definitely in the minority. Most JW's don't even know about this plan. How could they even consider doing it so as to initiate a mass exodus? Not that most JW's would even consider such a thing. They are subjects of cult mind control. Why would they go against their religion?

  Who knows of an Annointed one getting Disfellowshipped?

  by annalice in

  ok ,so if new annointed ones can still come about , who here has ever heard of any annointed ones in their congregation or surrounding congregations getting disfellowshipped or simply fading out of the organization.

  thus allowing some new annointed one to take their place?.

  and if someone says "hey i am annointed" do they have to check with bethal who then checks a list or something to see if there is a annointed one somewhere in the world who just got d'fd?.

  I've known several, even served on the committee of one. It's more common than the GB would ever want to admit.
