paragraphs - please use them.
i'm sure you have something to say but if it makes my eyes bleed i pass.. capitals - i don't know about you but i think this just looks juvenile but no worse than this.

Welcome to the forum, Amfree and Shell69
Never write to the elders about anything. They have an uncanny knack of twisting what you have written.
They then write to the branch about you in rather distasteful terms.
If you take them on, you can't and won't win.
Just become inactive and forget them, if you can.

...we used to get when the circuit servant/overseer/area douchebag manager would come to our congregation and give his "special talk" on sunday complete with slides or a movie?
it sure was a nice change from watching some guy up on the platform wearing a cheap suit and droaning on and on about nothing.
My wife still does get excited about the CO coming and circuit and district assemblys!!
Beats me

how many people trust elders?.
today an elder said,"elders lie because human imperfection!".
i said,"so your excuse is human imperfections for elders to lie, yet they disfellowship people on human imperfections all the time.".
I am sure that elders are taught how to lie at elders schools etc. by the professional liars,
CO's, DO's and bros from bethel or the branch as they seem to call it these days.
How else could they ALL be such proficient liars.
This is from sad personal experiences over the last 55 years.

hi everyone, hope this finds you all well!
i am in the process of getting out, but could do with help.. i am wanting to know more of the doubts/concerns, cover ups/scandals and abuse etc.
i keep getting asked why i am no longer going but find it hard to have material to back up what i am saying.
Lady Liberty made some good points here when she was in your situation, worth reading, all condensed into a small space

just curious.
are some of them a personal photo?
ones that are not, why did you choose them?.
Picture is from Kids Art Auction in San Francisco,
My name is used in Russian/Bashkir for Magician or Conjuror, when I worked in an Ufa, Bashkiria refinery some years ago, the locals painted 'fokyc' on my hard hat.
There you go.

hi gang!.
i would really like to watch the panarama program that was broadcast on the bbc some years ago titled " silence of the lambs".
i remember that you could just download a video from this web-site and watch the whole program within minutes.
Only too pleased to help.
I've been a member of JWDF for nearly a year and have received a tremendous amount of help and support.
Time for me to thank everyone on the board.
Still unable to publish my story, wheels of justice grind extremely slow!

if you were a believing elder when the lawsuits were explained to you, would you remain .
as an elder?.
what i am asking is this- if you understood that elders were named in the lawsuits, and .

The Elders thought the Judge and the police were absolutely wonderful, the police praised the elders, all mates together!!
Can't quite understand how it all fits in with the scriptures. I am sure someone might enlighten me sometime.

This is why I have "no truck" (London expression!) with these elders, they are all aware NOW of the ongoings of the Organisation.
Well said KT, although they are supposed to follow Jehovah's word, when problems arise they just want to save their own skin at any cost to others. They reject all the JW teachings to do this including lying about anything they feel is needed to achieve their own safety.
I would NEVER trust either the organisation or ANY of the elders, they don't believe in Jehovah when the pressure comes on.
It's just survival of the ones who can lie the best.
This is NOT theory, this is from painful personal experience.
