fess up maybe we can have one of those marvellous meetings like others seem to enjoy?
Hi Penny2 I'd not forgotten you ,looks like we are a rare breed.
and JWFacts ,yep my son would frequent the clubs a few years ago and would be approached many times by active young pioneers and publishers at the clubs seeing if he could direct them to drugs as he was'nt a witness,and he used to tell me who they were ,I told the Elders of one particular pioneer and he shot through ,after that my son got left alone as the word got around. Guess it's still going on.
Shunning my wife at our front door and at the shopping centre .She left because they refuse to believe it's possible a fellow witness can actually molest children and then shun her to her face and then say to others that her perpetrator would'nt do such a thing ,which in esscence means they think she's a liar. Their view is that the perp is still a witness so he must be innocent.

if a lot of the negative experiences and comments about the watchtower bible and tract society and jehovah's witnesses on the internet really was all apostate lies, surely the wt society would have a legal right to take such supposed slanderers to court and sue to have the information removed.. they were able to remove quotes site just for repeating what they themselves had said.
why do they not take the same action with regard to information they insist is just apostate lies?.
I like what MARY said about the QUOTES site ,the problem the WTS had with it seems also to be that even though their Literature was being quoted, they did not have the control on how to present and filter it and that would be a major problem for them ,that is no control.
thought this would be interesting.
easy subject.
personally i have a few.
BEN HUR great romantic movie with a beautiful sound track but forget the gore.
FORREST GUMP wonderful integration of him into history newsreels
there are many on the board who formerly, and some who still do, hold positions of power in the borg.. would you describe yourself as having been a 'good' elder, or a 'bad' elder?.
did you leave because you 'couldn't live up to jehovah's standards' or did you leave 'because you woke up and smelt the bull shit?'.
.
Like others here I thought it was a true privelege to serve with kindness and try to love others and help whenever as I thought that was what Jesus would want as he set such a fine example. Damn I was dissallussioned as time went on as I saw so many of the servant body not have the same spirit I tried to show ,and how perplexing it was to try and get others to share the shepherding work together and just be dissappointed when they only ever talked about this work when the CO was coming and hardly ever did it.
But man were they ever quick to handle a DF'ing when someone erred. Once I had the DO and CO in my home asking me what could be done to help the problems in the congo ,I directed them to a Watchtower on shepherding and they got the point - interesting to note they came to a lowly MS at the time for help when they had not even fronted the elder body yet.
i've read on and off here of various things that told people that god's spirit was not directing the organisation.. personally for me on the last time i got dfed it was the fact that i got reinstated by a meeting of the boe at the exact same moment i was smoking my first cigarettes in 7 months.
i didnt question it exactly but it did seem odd.
i mean i had no idea that they were discussing my reinstatement at that moment that i succumbed and had decided in my favour.
Let's see......pick a card......
A: The presiding overseer telling me it's ok for my "repentant " adulterous first wife to keep pioneering (upbuilding for the congo)
B: A bible study of mine was baptised for a while then committed immorality with a congo tart ,upon helping him see the error of his ways I advised to seek the elders help as he was repentant - they DF'd him ,one elder hated the elder father of the lad.
C: Adelaide elder used kingdom hall property as collateral for his building business ,upon being caught out they still let him have priveleges. Then the elders asked the congos to bail out the society as the elders creditors were taking legal action to recoup their money against the kingdom hall.
D: My wifes elder father molesting my wife when little for years and of course he was appointing more fellow servants to the body all that time.
E: My book study conductor who was appointed an elder 14 years previously, he had adultery with his wifes best freind before his appointment and keeping it secret all those years ,then his wifes friend came clean and he had to admitt to it - after fathering more children to his wife over the years and she not knowing a thing.
F: An MS of several years was finally appointed an elder while his wife was in England on holiday ,she not being consulted at all and not finding out till she got back....they had well known marraige problems all those years and he was into pornogrophy and an alchoholic...DF'd 1 year after his appointment.
G: A local Elder who was known to be a drinker and sisters would complain to the other elders for years about his breath at meetings and nothing done till his wife seperated temporarily from him and then they moved to the city to his wifes brothers house who"s an elder ,under the guise of sickness.He was sick all right....he was locally known to kids on the street as the "Pedophile Preacher" he liked to hang around little boys going to public toilets!
OK I got more but I'll give youse a rest
