  Funny News From My Old Congragation - Elder Fight!

  i haven't stopped laughing since i heard this.

  a pimo in my last congregation told me that an elder has been removed from his elder position.

  apparently he grabbed another elder by the throat, put him up against a wall in the back room and punched him in on the nose... during an elders meeting on thursday evening after the meeting.. the congregation were running round like headless chickens wondering what to do?

  local newspaper in finland has published an article concerning wtbs:s "pillowgate@ videos.

  the local "communications manager" of jehovah's witnesses - veikko leinonen - has declined to comment them.

  according to him they are for internal use only.

  Unbelievable. In addition to the "the material was for internal use only" response, the spokesperson states that the video is chopped up and edited to misrepresent them. Umm it's chopped up with critic & rebuttal to comply wth copy write laws and avoid having his channel taken down.

  Absolute spin doctors.

  I realize likes really don't mean anything & are not important. But some people take them seriously.

  So do you see the kidnapped people getting df'd for talking to the police and accusing their brothers of a crime?

  If this was a molestation case or a financial dispute, the elders would be all over them for taking their brother to court. I could see them "leaning" on the victims to not cooperate with the investigation & try to get the charges dropped.

  Or maybe that rule doesn't apply to kidnapping.

  This story has been hilarious.
  Day 1: 5 people arrested for dangerous driving and a host of other infractions. Turns out all 5 people spill out of the car naked as the day they were born. In -20 degree temperatures!
  Day 2: These said naked people are also arrested for kidnapping & stealing a car. Owner found locked in trunk.
  Day 3: Relative of the arrested claims they consumed hallucinogenic tea and didn't know what they were doing. Everyone asks where they can get this tea.
  Day 4: These same people turn out to be J-Dubs. LMAO

  What would you do for next November 5?

  i think everything has to start somewhere, and you can see the passion and commitment from those loyal 50 that showed up in warwick yesterday.

  the event was not very well organized but you could see the passion & dedication from most of them.

  and i think they at least touched a couple of people at the kh yesterday.. having an annual day of action actually inspires me.

  This is way over and above the topic of November 5, but if there was a way to unite the ex JW factions and create a universal front, there could be hundreds of activists working in cities all over the world. Or one mega event.
  

  If you had 2 or 3 major players organizing it, with a solid event organizer, the event could have 10x as many people there next time.

  People such as Barbara Anderson, James Penton, John Cedars (yes even him - he's articulate and thought provoking even if people question his motives), Lee Elder, Susan Gaskins, etc. And also involve the VAA, Mike & Kim and other "unusual ones". Say what you want about them, but they do know how to reach people. No six screens though as he didn't bring his buddy Johnny the Bethalite to the first one. ;)

  I know this is a pipe dream because there is so much infighting within some of these people, but can you just imagine what they could accomplish if they were united?

  Where was this in Canada? That was incredible.

  The tragedy in Texas was terrible & I have a feel the VAA will be painted as just about as terrible.

  Thanks for sharing. I'm kind of new to the party (have been on here 3 years) and have wanted to learn more about your association, what it's accomplished, etc as well as your story.
