i have never understood this.
was it because of legal reasons?
i cant think of any other reason why it wouldn't be allowed, but i know the elders ask you repeatedly that you are not taping.
To make sure there is NO true record of what really goes on in a JC.
The Watchtower org fears any one finding out what actually happens in these kangaroo courts.
The elders at my JC and my appeal LIED their socks off! AND they are still lying now some years after the event. Some dozen elders and a CO all lied!
just a quick question.
who actually writes the awake!
and the watchtower publications ?
Eric Beveridge used to photograph a lot of the pictures.

His brother was an elder in a UK cong.
this site is great, i have been lurking for a while now.
but i can’t get reinstated and have used some of the advice already given.. i was df’d many months ago and go to all the meetings and do all the preparation for the meetings, but the jc committee keep refusing me.
tomorrow at the clam meeting i am puting yet another letter in and will be called for another dreadful jc meeting.. 1. what can i say to the elders to show that i am truly repentant?.
How is holy spirit guiding them so they know if I am repentant or not?
The Elders are certainly NOT being guided by any holy spirit.
in paragraph 2 of this study, the gbojw evidences once again that they are sticking to the absurd 1914 doctrine – “when the last days of the present system began...”.
i noted that as 2014 approached, the gbojw became somewhat reticent about making reference to revelation 12:12 – the “short period of time” scripture.
so this study is the first one in a long time in which both the 1914 doctrine and revelation 12:12 are mentioned in the same study.
YES!!
I have been a victim of 3 BoE's and I know without any doubt "There is NO love whatsoever in the org."
The thing that does exist is lies and outright hatred of anyone who questions what is said.
i am a curious person.
i am challenged by the unknown.
i can be driven, out of sheer frustration, to penetrate a closed veil of conspiracy.
Thanks Terry; long read for me these days but well worth the time.
My wife is of this weekend to be entertained at the district convention!
She will be well entertained by the JW magicians.
terri o'sullivan was interviewed by croydon radio for a programme called "leap of faith", it was broadcast on sunday.. she does a great job of showing how wacky and weird the jw beliefs and practices are, the interviewer asks perceptive questions, either he was well briefed by terri or he is an ex jw !.
she also gives info.
on her meetup group for xjw's, great fun !.
Excellent, many thanks Phizzy.
i never really did but lots of the "friends" did like one brother who felt the cold and had "his chair" by the window and was always closing the window when everyone else wanted it open.. karter..
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!
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.
