  At This Point In Time Would You Ever Subject Yourself To A Judicial Committee?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i certainly wouldn't.

  and if the elders wanted to have a meeting with me, i would respectfully decline.

  if the elders wanted to deal with you, would you talk with them?.

  I got suckered into mine due to a number of reasons; firstly I really did think I'd get off with it, secondly I had a family wedding coming up in the proceeding months do a DFing would have been the last thing my sister would have needed to deal with, the biggest problem though was the collosial waste of time the whole thing took, 2 weekends on a Saturday afternoon 2x 4 hours and on the third weekend (appeal) another 2 or 3 hours, if I could turn back the clock I would have had to do exactly the same

  Sister trying to convince me and herself

  by NoMoreFear4Tracy in

  2. friends

  long story short i was raised in this cult (but was never baptized) my mother is die hard jdub, i didnt take this "faith" seriously until i was 26, but i had always gone to meeting, was enrolled in the theocratic school and was mediocre in service.

  at 26 i made the conscious decision to make this religion my own.

  i red the bible cover to cover and used cross reference from the watchtower and other religious sites,with the end goal to get baptized.

  could have some fun with point 9, I take it she has not really read this sheet or she knows nothing about the UN Membership, The Malawi/Mexico scandal and the investment stock of companies that are producing defence hardware?(The Rand Cam Engine Corp)

  Two pet peeves of mine

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are two things that just drive me crazy.

  one is that the art work in the watchtower is treated like they are actual still photo's taken thousands of years ago.

  your will hear comments about look at the smiles on their faces or the sadnees or happiness in their eyes, or notice the reaction of the crowd, etc.

  the wonders of facebook have accidently made my paths cross with the sister of this particular elder who served in my circuit (london) for many years and would have probably been made an elder at the very beginning of the arrangment in the early 1970's he knew my father very well, spoke at ca's visting speaker etc, and was a member of the hlc, he resigned a few years ago, he was a real hard core make no bones about it and would have been one of the very last you's expect to step down and leave, just goes to show..
