  Those here who disassociated- do you regret it?

  by JimmyPage in

  does anyone here who disassociated regret it?

  do you wish you had just faded instead?

  did disassociating give you a liberating feeling of power over your life?

  No, not at all.
  
  When I mailed my letter to the PO and WTS it felt like I felt as if a HUGE weight had been removed from my back.
  
  Of course the "conditional friendship" issue is uneasy at times, but the personal freedom is unbelievable.

  There was an elder at my old hall,, his name if I remember correctly was J. Renfrow.
  he was the local pedophile ,,always talking to, and getting cozy with ALL the early teenage girls.
  If any young guy (excuse me a spiritual capable young man) walked into his group he would always make the girls doubt as to why the guy(s) were there.
  He made it seem like anyone he did not personally "approve" of was a perverted sex offender. He did that to my son once at a picnic,I wish that I had some guts back then,(he was an elder, me,, just a common publisher)I would have thrown it right back at him as to why he was always around the younger girls.
  This elder was the absolute worst one that I ever met (30 years worth)
  I wonder if he ever got caught and labeled as a "sex offender" in the real world, that would have been a wonderful thing!
  But,, since the JW's are bleeding capable brothers he is probably still in his position, protected by D.Redman, the WTS
  and his unknowing associates at the hall.

  usually it was personality clashes between the elders, sometimes it would be so noticable to certain ones,
  yet the elders would pretend that everything is just fine.

  There was a little rascals show (1936) about the gang putting on a show and the ticket-taker forgot to collect the tickets
  before the show. When he realized his mistake, the announcement was made " if you like the show, please pay as you exit."
  
  When the show ended they ended up with a huge boxful of money!
  
  perhaps the WTS should apply this type of logic.

  My Mom Says More Are Pioneering Since "That's All They Talk About"

  by minimus in

  she says since the end is so close, the brothers and sisters are wisely using their time pioneering.. i said, "they'd be better off going to college, getting an education".. her response: "a lot of good a college education will do them now.

  nobody can keep a job".. .

  Those people that put off their careers then are now approaching retirement age. Ask her how many of them are still pioneering. All the ones I knew from that era curse that they did not get an education
  
  Back in 1979 I had an opportunity to go to veterinary school on a scholarship (in other words,,,totally free)
  Since the witnesses were dead set against college I did not accept it, I kick myself everyday for not taking advantage of that!!

  Jehovah's Witnesses and Child Protection ? Not. Check this Out !

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  these quotes and excerpts i'm going to post here come from the " jehovah's witnesses - office of public information " from their website as it was posted on 12/2/07.

  my wife and i have a lurking witness friend who sent us this information as she is very pro-active trying to fight child abuse from within the organization itself !

  so get your barf bags ready- you are going to need them to stomach this " official policy " garbage from the wt society.

  If so, we expect the elders to comply.
  
  A loophole,
  
  just like the police EXPECT everyone to obey the speed limit
  
  It looks nice on paper, but when the rubber meets the road,, it is a different story
