You need to separate yourself from the belief that the Judicial committee is Jehovah's arrangement, it is not. What you will be subjected to is spiritual abuse. Your sins are between you and God, not men. Those elders only have as much power over you as you give them.

Should I wait to be questioned by the elders? or take my leave in advance?
by Thinking of Leaving inhi everyone, i recently joined this forum as i'm close to being df.
i am suppose to meet with a judical committee soon but was thinking that i don't want to go through those personal questions that i'm sure the elders would ask.
does anyone know, is it better to just tell the elders before, say like on the phone, that i want to be df and not go through the committee?

ARE YOU UPSET THAT YOU DIDN"T GO TO COLLEGE?
by minimus ini have read of some people's bitterness because they were denied the opportunity to go to college.
during the 60's and 70's the society really discouraged any education other than what was necessary.
since the end was so near, especially around 1975, anybody that decided to go to "higher education" was considered very weak and unbalanced.

Although some may want to pursue financial advantages, prestige, or comforts of life, the family examine the Bible to see what it recommends.
I love how the Society always frames a topic in a negative light, as if the only reason people pursue a degree is out of greed.
I was pissed that I never went to college so I enrolled and am now pursuing my B.S. I now see some advantages in being an older student, for one I appreciate my education more. I study harder than I would have at age 18, and as a result I get better grades.

Bethel Romeos - throwing your daughters at them
by Uzzah init was raised in a comment quoted in the national post article today:.
on speaking engagements at kingdom halls throughout the country, fathers would sometimes even offer up their daughters in marriage to him because of the prestige of his position, he said.. have any of the gals here experienced this?
did your parents 'parade you' around visiting bethelites or try to set you up with them?

Several families from my area have sent their daughters to the NY area, renting them houses and paying their bills for them so that they could "volunteer" at Bethel. Our obnoxious, abusive PO sent both of his daughters off to keep them away from all the horny JW boys, imagine his surprise when they both got engaged to Bethelites, man was he pissed.

well I was reproved back in 1973 for mutual masterbation with my 12yr old daughter…"
What the F? The term "mutual masturbation" denotes a sex act performed between two consenting adults. I've never heard that term used to describe child molestation, because that's what we're talking about here. No logical person would assume a 12 year old girl could consent to "mutual maturbation." What a sick group of goat-f's! Wow dude, you have a heavy load to carry there. I understand the psychology behind JW mind control, but covering up for a child molester is a special little crime in itself.
I pray for God to forgive you and your cohorts, may he have mercy upon your souls.

I do! I do! It reads, "If you leave the witnesses and become a pentacostal fundementalist christian, and attend Jesus Camp, I'll make you a good Republican and you can help elect McCain in ' 08. Praise the Lord."
I just fell out of my chair laughing.

Law of gravity?
by the sage inif jehovah's rule of law works like the law of gravity, which it apparently does until the millennial rule of christ, the past 6000 years of sin (error) inherited from adam has permitted mankind to exist even though imperfect.
this has allows death and distruction.
the historical scriptural record of death and distruction of those that go contrary to god's rule of law by failing to follow his direction and guidance (since not perfect impossible), as a people or nation it proved to be the case.

If Jehovah's rule of law works like the law of gravity, which it apparently does
According to who? The law of gravity specifies that an object in free fall will increase in velocity by 10 meters a second every second. That's a proven scientific fact. Are you really asserting that "Jehovah's rule of law" (whatever that means) can be confined in such strict, narrow terms? What proof do you offer to back up your claim?
To present a theory as if it were fact, then quickly proceed to expound upon such faulty claims is a true sign of ignorance, or Watchtower psychology.

I feel bad about being a part of this...
by sibboleth inseveral years ago, approx 1995, i was a newbie elder - age 29 and was just doing the "yes man" duties around the hall.
there was the overbearing po who was the "king" of the congo and whatever he said was gospel... if he didn't like you - you were history... needless to say - i kissed his butt and moved up the ladder quite easily.
we had another newbie elder - in his late 40's - and he was a smart man.

We had a brother like that in our circuit. About every five years or so he would move to a new congregation to "help" the brothers there become more spiritual. Upon arriving he would force out the current PO and claim his spot as the King of the Congregation. From that point on it was his way or the highway. He left a wake of destruction a mile wide. Elders would just eventually move to another congregation to escape him. No less than half the elder body of my old hall moved to escape him, my Father included. In there place King Mo would appoint younger, less experienced brothers. Men who mirrored his own thirst for power. He was so overbearing that the "friends" who had felt his wrath would say they had been "MOed over", his first name was Mo.
The power structure of the Watchtower organization is corrupt, and like all other corrupt power structures before it, it exists to serve itself. Those in power promote others to power who mirror there own personalities, and so the problem perpetuates itself. Christ told us that we would recognize his followers by their actions. These people, these supposed "true Christians" do not reflect the life course of Jesus Christ, and therefore they do not represent him.
They are charlatans. Liars. May God have mercy upon them.
