Interesting visit from broken down JW and CO
by hambeak inyesterday pm while on gabbly two jw's came into my shop (former customers) with an overheating problem.. they saw my other copy of coc.
i asked what can we do for you?
they both were staring at the book, i noticed the car was spewing steam and coolant.

Lets be real here a minute they could only assume you were an apostate I am sure the CO is practical enough if he was by himself he would have you do the work but since the book was there and other JW would judge him for this is the reason they left. What a good Jw should of done is actually mention the elephant in the room and ask you were a former JW? Then if you said no ask you if you wanted to talk to a real flesh and blood JW.
Nothing wrong for them in any of their book to do business with you.

refusing to go quietly into that good night
by undercover inthe thread about refusing to act disfellowshipped at the hall got me to thinking about another scenerio:.
what if the elders contacted an inactive jw to try to set up a judicial committee meeting, in essence to disfellowship the inactive one based on rumors, innuendo and circumstantial evidence and the jw refused to go along with the inquisition?
i've heard of people being dfd in absentia but technically that isn't supposed to happen.

It worked for a friend of mine, he gambles openly lives with his girl friend and use to a servant MS he just stopped going when they went to get him he refused to go to their meetings. They called him he was to be DF'd in two days. He went to the homes of the Elders and told them personally they were going to sued if they went though with it. This friend of mine needed DF'd if you think like a JW. The Elders did not announce him and it has been almost a year now and they still have not made that announcement. He asked a friend that is an Elder, his friend said they called the Society and was told you boy's are on your own the Society will not financially help you boy's.
So the Elders blinked I guess not willing to rely on GOD.

When Did You Know You Could?
by tall penguin inin the preface of dawkins' latest book, "the god delusion" he opens with this: .
"as a child, my wife hated her school and wished she could leave.
years later, when she was in her twenties, she disclosed this unhappy fact to her parents, and her mother was aghast: 'but darling, why didn't you come to us and tell us?

Never know I could until I was in my mid 30's. I knew I could get kicked out but not leave by my own accord.

This is true, I was removed before this happened so was not in any of the Elders meetings about this. I found this out on the Internet and told the Elders about this right after it happened. They said it was not true, I found an Associated Press release and a couple other News releases ans showed them. After a phone call to the C.O. from the Secretary in my Hall the C.O. confirmed it was true he was shocked could not believe the Society reported this to the News before telling the congregations. I was told by the P.O. that they were told if a sister reported to them that she saw with her own eyes a member having a transfusion she was to be told the Elders are handling it and tell her not to tell anyone else. He then said they were told, the Elders Body could not investigate the report. I asked what would happen to the person that had the transfusion he told me that if the person did not tell anyone about it the congregation could not do anything about it. If it became known the person would be likened to a person that has disassociated themselves.
We have a don't tell don't ask policy just like the Military does for Gay's in the Military

Society unsure about Adam's Sexual Orientation
by Amazing inyes, folks, the all-wise, all-knowing, all-seeing watchtower society peers into and explores all possibilities of thought and logic.
yes, right back to our beginnings they look at how adam needed to determine who would serve as his companion ... and where did he search?.
"before god created anything new, a woman, god left the man free to determine whether there was a suitable companion for him among all the lower animals.

This is a quote that I need to check. I have a hard time believing this is in a BORG publication. At this point and time though it would not surprize me, nothing would from them.
