JW Elder Spy Stories

by jschwehm in

after my brother-in-law left bethel, he got a "worldly" girlfriend.

the local jws wanted to know if he was living with her or not.

so they got the city overseer to spy on him.

Of course, there's always the "stayed overnight" rule. I know of plenty of Witness women who spent the night with a friend sitting outside their ex-husband's home, so they could testify that he spent the whole night with a woman. I don't consider them aggressors or spies... I consider them victims of the Watchtower's ridiculous rules.

A sweet 60 year old sister in my congregation was forced to do this in order to divorce her unbelieving, abusive mate. Forcing people to resort to this demeaning, and possible illegal action is sickening beyond belief.

Sorry it's not about elder spying, but I just had to say this. This sister's case has been dragging on for several years. i want to bite nails everytime I think about it!!

well, actually, i did, but with the blessings of the family.

it's fake (too many allergies in the house to risk a real one), pre-lit, and 7 feet tall.

i think it's going to be gorgeous.

Nina,

How exciting for you and the family! i envy you. I love trees, but I'm afraid to put one up, and my husband is not keen on the idea at all. Too bad you can't have a real tree, the smell is divine.

dear board, .

i have started this thread about 50 times the last two days, but was unable to post it.

i talked with the elders on thursday evening and i have decided to stop coming here.

((((((What the)))))

I didn't even get a chance to say hello, and now you're leaving! I wish you success on your journey, where ever it may lead you. When the elders stop by to encourage me, I'm usually too emotional to ask questions. Maybe you could ask them one for me? Is the United Nations still considered the wild beast? And did they really partner with it? Thank you.
