1- were you raised a witness or not?.

2-if you were, was your family very "theocratic" or not so much?.

The appeal process is a joke!!!

by jakesnake82 in

it was pretty messed up.

i appealed and two of the three elders on my appeal commity were from our sister congregation.

when i turned in my appeal letter, the elder i turned it in to tried to talk me out of appealing.

Dear Mr Frank 75,

Firstly, I was not criticizing jakesnake at all, my comment was really a follow of to a comment by JK666, that there is a follow up process and if you want to stay a witness or avoid the DF'ing, there is a remedy, I found that out, pursued it and was successful.

Dont presume to brand me as naive, you dont know me and if you havent got the time to get to know me, dont judge or assume, thats what old lazy men do and I assume that description does not fit you!

It took me 9 months to "win" my little battle and cost me dearly in both my reputation( R&F dont like to see you questioning the BOE) and my wife (same attitude), so would say its possible but a difficult road.

However, if you dont want to be a "victim" take control, this board is full of people who have done just that.

Jakesnake, all Im saying is "Illegitimi non carborundum", this is our family moto and I got alot of support from my family for standing up for my beliefs, you will get that support here, PM if you want some advice on how to beat the system.

For some great reading go to http://www.watchtowerletters.com/our_letter_elders.html.

This has to be the best letter I have ever read, mine was good, this is inspired!!!( Joke)

I didnt have an official JC, but in principle it was the same thing.( long story)

I appealed, it was unsuccessful, I wrote to bethel, they sent in the CO, the CO overturned the decision.

If you firmly believe that you're repentant and are in an approved state with jehovah, and have confessed honestly to him, they are hard pressed to disagree, you just have to be prepared to follow it through.

The process actually works if you want it to.

What next?

so in the last year two major qfr came out, one on the fds not being any more special than the gc in terms of enlightenment and the second being that 1935 is no longer a "thing".

this was followed up with a change of the generation being the fds.

then numbers go up this year and apparently, alot of the new converts in the fertile lands of mexico are claiming to be of the anointed.

Not an attack, just a question, as this place seems to be primarily about peole on a journey, and you seem to have reached a destination, and good for you.

Do we see some major chess pieces being moved around here?

The two QFR's combined result in:

A) Make way for more anointed.
B) Disenfranchise the previously held authority.

What happens next?

Where are they going with this?

Conspiracy theorists welcome, but would prefer solid predictions........
