Knowsnothing - you've hit upon a word they just aren't used to - HONOURABLY!
JWs and Honour are almost mutually exclusive terms.

I am officially 'mentally diseased' by WBT$ standards!
by punkofnice inlast night whilst i was relaxing 2 elders came to my door to tell me i am officially da'd because of my 'actions'.
they weren't specific but i have been to church and telling others about the wbt$ scandals.. i was told they thought i was rude for ignoring their letters and not attending my jc.. my reply: 'you were the rude ones for sending me hounding letters when i specifically asked you never to contact me!'.
i got a 'hurumph' from the lead eldub.. i don't remember the whole conversation but they were annoyed i kept referring to the wbt$ as 'just a big business' but i told them they were on my property uninvited so they'd have to listen to my opinion and i don't have to listen to theirs.

Congrats Punky! Not an exclusive club but a happy one. So many "mentally diseased" having a ball.
I never attended my JC hearing either. Mainly because I'd left home and the invite to attend by letter was left with my ex-wife who never told me it was there - on either occassion. Makes you wonder why they wrote it or even if they asked her if it had been passed on to me. Wouldn't have gone anyway. Pointless if I, like you, never recoginzed they have any authority over me.

What am I to make of this e-mail? In my mailbox this morning...
by Terry insecretsexposed ofprivate bethel meeting, gideon school to be phased out, governing body sweating big dollar$ pedophilia case in virginia, atf watching, etc first, if theres enough donated then the watchtower society and their lawyers stay in lawrence hughes lawsuit over the blood issue but if not he drops watchtower and their lawyers yet keeps the doctors in thus cutting court costs, plus the doctors will either (1.
) third party the watchtower lawyers, that is go after them or (2.
) otherwise the watchtower lawyers and doctors will still have to be cross-examined in court and any evidence gained can be used to press criminal charges and have their licenses to practice law revoked.

Now... what would happen if they all obeyed the directive of not going to college?
No law degrees, no lawyers - no hope of escaping prosecution... once again the WT has proved it's capable of speaking out of both sides of it's mouth!

wiki has this to say - Sir Henry Percy, also called Harry HotspurKG (20 May 1364/1366 – 21 July 1403)
Nothing to do with Football (soccer) but because of his rebellious nature/connections felt it fitted. There was a comic in Britain which I used to read when I was a kid "The Hotspur"
Don't like the way he died though :-(

Victoria, Australia: WTBTS and GB of JWs have shown themselves to be "GUILTY" respecting previous noncompliance with Working With Children Laws
by AndersonsInfo inthe watch tower society, the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses, the faithful and discreet slave, and the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, last week issued a "special" letter to all bodies of elders in the state of victoria instructing them to immediately apply for their working with children licenses and to comply with child protection laws.
the letter includes instructions that the contents are not to be made public or shared with members of the congregation.. .
this means an investigation authorized by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses and initiated by lawyers representing the watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, inc. have concluded that the victorian working with children act 2005 and the associated child protection laws do indeed apply to all elders serving in congregations throughout the state of victoria both in the public ministry and in their internal ministry, which includes the theocratic ministry school.. .

It just goes to show how detached from reality the elder has become. It would've bothered me no end back in 2008 that I may need to comply with this law and yet, it appears, the 'instruction from above' was to ignore it and carry on as normal - whatever normal is to these charlatans.
Can I use 'charlatans' or is it similar usage to 'mentally diseased'?

No Tattoos for JWs? Then why no beards?
by punkofnice inas elders we were told that tattoos were a no no!
because leviticus 19:28 says not......and jar hoover doesn't change according to micah.. the verse prior says not to cut your beard.. we have here typical wbt$ spin.
take one scripture literally and 'appeal to authority' ie.

I always had hoped they would discover that ties were pagan too
They were actually a symbol of Moabite or Assyrian slavery (sorry, can't rmember which). They (ties) have a murky background.
