I forgot to give you that hug in my former post.
Oh, was there a topic to this thread...
In 1975 a crack team of publishers was sentenced to death by a judicial commiteee. They promptly escaped from the cult and now live life on the run. If you have a problem ... and if you can find them ... maybe you can contact the A--postate Team"
last oct.i was shocked to be invited to a "legal" party to be held in feb. i was under the impression i had been "marked" since i was out of the loop close to a decade.. so i checked the box that we'd be attending the big 50 anniversary of my aunt & uncle, i included the un fax & articles from guardian paper.
on the return card i added an asterisk by the checkmark.. "can you verify that there will be no public reading of "softball" articles of "awake" promoting the un at this event?
i'd hate to see my young daughter exposed to the spiritual sight of watchtower's feet 666' in the air.. i received a reply this week.. dear ..... thank you for your response to our anniversary party invitation.
During my ten years+ disfellowshipping, I would have given my right arm to be invited to a function like that. To just be noticed by someone like that would have been nice. A smile and a nod even in secret would have been nice.
But I guess you're making sure to burn the bridges behind you, and for some that seems to be important. So be it, who is anyone to disagree with you. Not the least of which, it is very possible you were invited so everyone could turn in time talking to you. Who knows?
Best wishes

Welcome to the board Danni...I am probably one of those people Naeblis refers to as a Jehovah's Witness basher. Well, in my defense, I should know because I AM still associated with the organization.
phhhhffffttttt...Naeb!!!
Anyway, the best that can be said about the Jehovah's Witnesses, especially their leadership, is that they are in a LOOOOOOT of trouble right now. The United Nations is pissed at them, France and Russia and Greece are pissed at them, thousands of their own present members are pissed at them, and the United States is looking at them VERY VERY hard right now. And I can guarantee you that before too
long many of the South American and African countries are going to be looking at them very very hard very soon.
For a good look at present day JW's, you can go to the 'study articles' forum and look at their recent Watchtower studies. You can go to watchtowerobserver.org (link at bottom of page) and look at their Kingdom Ministries. This is like going to the meetings without leaving your house.
The Watchtowers are dispicable. They are nothing less than a paranoid hate rag. You'll see for yourself, and if you don't see, well--email me. I sit through this cult-originated drivel over four hours a week, so I know.
the following link sums up most of the urgent issues with the JW's, and add to that the pedophilia, alternative service, gay's women's and children's issues---and what else would you need to know?
Not everything about th e JW's is bad. They do get the Bible out worldwide. They're printing facilities are rivaled by few. They have a great system in place for building palces of worship, for a hundred or for thousands. They are known worldwide for their conventions, and for their stand on neutrality.
It's just that when they ARE wrong, people die. Especially women and young people. If this religion would lower their lethality factor, they would lose one of their staunchest opponents---me.
Now wouldn't that be nice, Watchtower?

if i have to sit here and listen to the father reading any more experiences from the yearbook i'm gonna puke.
hes all happy cause they are such great experiences.
they hold on so desperately to hear something exciting because their own daily lives are so bleak.

we just had a letter read in our cong.
informing us that the society will no longer be sending out the magazines by subscription.
the letter said that this brings the usa in line with the rest of the world.
Like so many of the s**t directives that come from Crooklyn, the orders go out to everyone, but so much depends on the elders desire to follow it up.
My favorite example is the shunning of (mostly)women after having been rape victims and not screaming. The rough guestimates are close to two hundred women thais was done to (mostly in the US, or else other countrie's elders aren't 'fessing up) but think of all the women this WASN'T done to. The difference? THE ELDERS!!! Their individual consciences.
So I imagine the orders have gone out for all to form SWAT TEAMS. What remains to be seen is how many elders will do this. There seems to be no end of those that are willing.

Yep, it's accurate. Ours was read this week as well.
First of all, wasn't it fun to hear the letter read, and watch all the stunned faces, when we've known about it for weeks?
The letter blamed the cost of postage. They also stated that the mags would be hand-carried by publishers from now on except the braille ones and extremely isolated ones. This week also, the first pubs went out with 'the list' of the newly expired subs, and referneces have been made to 'the list' all week.
I was sitting there thinking what a great way to get all those convicted child molesters to people's doors in isolated areas now.
I wish I had had a camera so I could photograph all those shocked and stunned faces. "You will now hand carry all the subscriptions'. No asking, no requesting, just "you will do".
And I think about all the recent articles (they're on the study forum and more will be going up) saying--be obedient, be submissive, don't harbor thoughts...etc. etc.
I would actually believe it's a cost-saving measure---except for the fact that AT THE SAME TIME the elder swat terams are being sent out to HUNT DOWN inactives/dissenters/ etc. etc.
Happy New Year Jehovah's Witnesses!!!!!

today, on bbc radio 2s jimmy young show (weekdays, 12 2), a listener posed the following question for jimmys regular guest, mark stephens, the legal eagle:.
i live next door to a family of jehovahs witnesses.
there are 3 children in this family, and i would like to know what the legal implications would be if one of the children were to be involved in an accident and required a blood transfusion.
(((Simon)))
This may not be 'news' but it is newsworthy. This 'legal eagle' person just misinfomed all those listeners of how a cult operates.
Someone should mail copies of the recent watchtower study article about the disfellowshipping and shunning of CHILDREN for blood transfusions (it's considered 'sin'). This is something the courts should be aware of, and doctors and nurses...and I can imagine that a 16-year-old child might very well decide he would rather die than go through the six-month/one-year reinstatement process, and face not getting to be a pioneer/bethelite/ms/elder without a whale of a fight.
Just look at the what some JW's do--they will shun a rape/molestation survivor, they will cover up pedophilia, lying, stealing----they do all these things rather than be shunned themseves. Now how could a child stand up to pressure like that, especially when 'raised in the troof' and this is all he knows?
Just my 1/2 cents worth...

i have been inactive for a year now.
before that i was quite active, had only an average time slip but did a lot of things you cannot count.
but i had read r.franz and the internet.
(((((((GJW)))))))
As Maximus and others have said here---it's not the destination, it's the journey.
I think the JW's were lucky to have you for as long as they did, but now your time with them is finished and you are free to go out and distribute your gifts and talents and large capacity for love somewhere else where it will be more appreciated.
Such as HERE for instance!!!
Hope to see you around a long time....we need you here. You can't count the time here with us either--does that help?

i grew up around truth.
i joined the ministry school when i was 8. i was babtised in 1979 and was disfellowshipped in 1990. i was reinstated in 1992. i was not disfellowshipped for being unrepentant, i was disfellowshipped for "a pattern".
i was reinstated and began to follow the organizationa and direction of the elders.
((((rondoggy))))
Welcome to the board. Hope to see more of your posts.
