  YES!

  I paid cash for 3 chairs when new ones were required in the KH.

  I didn't get a refund when I was DF'd

  I hope they wear out soon!

  "Confidentiality" of Elders!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  something struck me the other day.. elders are told to maintain confidentiality with regard to the details of judicial cases or congregation "discipline" in an attempt to dignify individuals etc.. this is even the case for known child abusers!.

  yet, if they suspect someone of being an "apostate", for instance being a member on this forum, they will spread such information far and wide, through the witness "grape vine" to congregations miles away (or even in other countries).

  so, does that mean they place more importance on "apostasy" rather than child abuse?.

  *** w80 9/1 p. 24 par. 12 Overseers—Be Fine Examples to “the Flock” ***

  Confidentiality must be maintained. The congregation can be expected to have full confidence only in elders who exercise proper oversight and whose personal conduct is always above reproach.

  Exactly the same. My wife is fully in and my two sons.

  I am totally shunned by one of my sons and his family.

  They don't even knock or ring when passing my place!

  They just look at a bit of paper in their hand and pass on by.

  THEY made me a 'do not call'; aren't they kind.

  I didn't want to go to their memorial anyway.

  The "most honest people" on earth....?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  have we noticed how often the society uses comments like this?.

  "jehovah's witnesses are the most honest people...etc".

  while it may be true that witnesses as a whole are decent, law abiding people, are they truely "honest" when the very foundation of beliefs are based on mistruths?.

  The Elders in my wife's congo are the biggest liars I have ever met!

  They are certainly NOT the most honest people anywhere.
