  Heaven, of course women can't be elders. They are incapable of the required adult behavior that comes naturally to all men. Weren't you listening while he explained how women are always excitedly jumping up and arguing during meetings?

  "That's not my area of expertise."

  Although he said it several times, I think it was surprising when he said it after being asked a question about something in the elduhs manual. I think there was a question, "What is the difference between 'child' and 'youth' here?"

  • If this "translator" doesn't have a handle on English words, what is his job?
  • And this manual is supposed to be used and understood by every elder, isn't GJ an elder?
  • Who IS the expert that all the elders are supposed to call in order to understand the phrases in their manual?

  When he said the GB has apologized, I think he was referring to an incident in the bethel sauna involving Freddie Franz, a towel, and several newboys.

  exJW Psychology 102--How to Ask a Question When Questions Aren't Allowed

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now that enough time has passed and i've moved away, i think i'm overdue to share some of the stories from my fade.

  i've mentioned some of this before, but i think it deserves its own thread.. we all would like to be able to freely ask questions about jw beliefs and get our family and friends to really think about certain questions.

  however, when you're a baptized jw, you really can't ask any good questions or you'll get the "apostate" label slapped on you!

  In light of the events with the Royal Commission, I think it's time to bump up this thread.

  Now that WT's pedophilia problem is back in the news, it would be very easy to tell "the friends" that people in the territory, at work, or at school are talking bad about JWs not protecting children, over a thousand in Australia alone.

  And after watching a parade of mind-numb JW elders, branch nuts, and GJ of the GB at the RC, we have seen Theocratic Warfare in action. Such a barrage of half-truths and double-talk, we can feel free to fight fire with fire. WT is hoping that "worldly people" aren't paying attention to this news. Time to turn Theocratic Warfare back on them and let them know that people are talking about it... indeed, all nonJWs should be talking about this at least.

  Here's a couple of suggestions from my Theocratic Arsenal:

  • Know an elder that annoys you about getting out to preach? Tell him that a return visit is very upset after seeing a WT YouTube video that showed a bunch of elders explaining that the Bible doesn't allow them to report perverts to the police and admit that JWs are in a captive organization. Ask him what you should say when you go back... if you go back?
  • Know a sister that is a busybody and drives you nuts? Write a letter to 25 Columbia Heights asking for an application to become a Female Elders Assistant that GJ described. Include the name of the congregation with a comment that you personally are away of many ways the elders need help. Sign her name on the letter and send it in.

  okay, i know the royal commission hasn't started yet.

  but i'm confident enough that he will be telling some whoppers.

  so i thought i'd be the first to get a thread started for something that will begin... very soon now!.

  Jackson is trying to talk his way out of a hole.

  Unfortunately, my connection is breaking up and it's hard to follow.

  And since WT is so keen on baptizing children, they are prepared to df/da children. Is that where Angus is going?

  Love it! I'm intrigued to see where Angus is going. He's clearly pointing out it's captive to be a JW or be df/da
