Welcome Hustle! Welcome to your spiritual journey.
Candice Conti is not alone. There are many pedophiles within the Organization. There are many survivors of sexual abuse, some still in and others out.

p.s. I was thinking of the 70's song . . . "Do the hustle" . . . (showing my age).
it will obviously make a difference to how jw's obtain their literatrash, they will have to download and print it all themselves before long.. it will make a small difference to the dtod work, they will now refer even genuine questions and interest etc to the site, not taking the opportunity to "witness" on the initial call at all.
this has been happening already to a degree.. the difference i am mainly interested in is the capture of new suckers in to the borg.. we will be able to see when we get 2014's figures, sometime next year, what the rate of increase was over the last ten years.. phizzy the prophet predicts that the rate of increase over the next ten years will not be significantly up.
probably down, but certainly, i feel, not so different from the last ten.. should i be around in ten years to do so, i will wish to ask jw's:.
People joined the JW religion because the friends came every week to visit. Householders agreed with them becuase it's hard to turn down someone you know and are building a relationship. At first, the topics you and your new friends are not confrontational or unusual. So, it builds a stonger and stronger relationship while studing. Finally, the person is saying "yes" to hard to swallow things like no blood and shunning. A computer website lacks the one-on-one. I don't see the website, in and of itself converting people. Perhaps, if the WTS dropped some of its crazier and flawed teachings, then the website will do the conversions of mind. But, to make it a cult . . . you got to have the "Friends" to put on social pressure.

Every sentance, he should be inserting his foot! No wonder women like Blondie or Barbara Anderson didn't stay in this group!

Perhaps the program will give the WTS insight on why the young leave. Thanks Barbara for all your hard work. You are gem, and put that in your box!

It looks like had his employer given him a total ban on talking about religion to his cohorts and customers, then the firing would have been justified. And, the court reduced his award by 75%. This shows that the court sided alot with the gym, but not completely. Anyway, he sounds like a trouble-maker. He came in on his off days and made very offensive comments to customers. Employers should carefully screen the hiring of religious zealots. One's employment should be to promote the business, not one's own religiion.
it's been quite a while since i lasted posted anything on jwn.
i was in hiding previously, but only because i wanted to avoid the shun gun until i had the opportunity to tell my former congregation what i think about the org./gb.
i last attended a meeting over 2.5 years ago but it wasn't until june--when i earned my bachelor's degree--that i finally had the time to collect my thoughts and get them down on paper...i decided to write my letter in a style i felt would be most appealing to my target audience--jw's still under gb mind control --in the hope that at least a few would read it and actually "think".
Welcome!
i've been browsing the site for some time as things that the society teach just are not adding up much these days.
by exploring some of the threads on here i'm starting to see why.
a brief bio.
Welcome. We are all on a journey of our lives and spiritual path.
My parents were JWs in the 40s and 50s. They were told to not go to college, pioneer, hold off on marraige, and not have kids. They met in the mid-60s and married and had me. They hoped 1975 was going to be the End. It wasn't, and they stopped attending. My father was disfellowshipped for bad behavior. In the 80s, we went back. Then, it was no longer 1975 that was the issue, the End was coming in the early 90s as the Generation of 1914 was not going to pass away. I was told to not go to college. At conventions, youth told stories about how sinful college was and their superior choice to pioneer instead of college. I left at about 18, and went straight into college. I got a degree and never went back to a Kingdom Hall. Meanwhile, my parents grew older. We had a baby. My parents desparately wanted to convert us because of the baby. When they came, they said that college was now more allowed. And, that they dropped the "generation of 1914" teaching. I was floored and laughed at them like becuase it was ridiculous back then. They thought that the changes were going to get me to come back. But, it just showed me that they Governing Body does not know what it is doing. By predicting the ever ending Armegheddon, they get the followers in a constant state of panic and need to go door to door to sell more literature/get converts.

from the wording of the letter it seems that the co has been given carte blanche with appointments and deletions.
nowhere in the letter does it indicate that any records are sent to and from the co to the branch office.
even if a body wants to delete an appointed brother and he disagrees his only recourse would be to write a "brief" letter to the service dept.
It's not as much about civil liability, as it is about criminal culpability.
