Tell me if I’m wrong - Jeffery Jackson is not a governing body member.
by Truth and Justice inyesterday, i had my sister come over to tell my mother and i that she will no longer have anything to do with us, because we need to come back to the meetings, it’s what jehovah wants, and hands her a letter to read and asks for a final hug.
my mother has been dealing with a terrible lost of dad since july, and has been very ill with stress because of it.
i no longer belong to the organization either, and i have been helping my mother out thru this ordeal, it is just as rough on me.

I want to CLARIFY A PART OF MY POST:
My sister came over to see my Mother and I (not made her come over) to tell us she is cutting off ties with us. My Mother and I NO LONGER BELONG TO THE ORGANIZATION FOR AT LEAST 30 YEARS!!!
My Father had passed away in July, so my sister, like most witnesses give their TOKEN SERVICE to console us over the loss by coming over at least 3 times.
And her being a part of the ORGANIZATION should have known, and here, my Mother and I know this.

Yesterday, I had my sister come over to tell my Mother and I that she will no longer have anything to do with us, because we need to come back to the meetings, it’s what Jehovah wants, and hands her a letter to read and asks for a final hug.
My Mother has been dealing with a terrible lost of Dad since July, and has been very ill with stress because of it. I no longer belong to the organization either, and I have been helping my Mother out thru this ordeal, it is just as rough on me. So after a token service of her seeing her Mother 2 or 3 times since July she like all witnesses feels it’s time again to say I have to stop visiting you.
But as she walks out the door, I tell her that I would like to say some things to you if you don’t plan to visit either one of us. She says go ahead. I then tell her the episode of how the governing body had to send one of its members (Jeffery Jackson) to Australia to appear in court to answer questions, regarding the abuse of what appears to be over 4000 kids. She apparently didn’t know about this. But then she tells me “Jeffery Jackson is not part of the governing body.” I said yes he is, she said no he’s not. I said if he is not, he still had to appear before the court to testify.
I have always considered him as a governing body member, heck, I’m out of the organization and she doesn’t know this. So my question is this
Is Jeffery Jackson a member of the governing body? (I know he is!) Can someone show me proof that he is?
Thanks for the replies!
Happy Trails to all!

I thought we were told in scripture by the Apostle Paul to “Examine the scriptures to see if they are so,” like the Boreans in the book of Acts.

I find all your points interesting. A point was made that if I have not been a part of the organization for decades, then why would I even care? First, it happens to involve a member of my family.
I would say that in my opinion over 70% of the people on this board are not in the organization, so why are they even reading any of these good posts on this forum. That being said, we are here and we care, because THE ORGANIZATION HAD A TREMENDOUS AFFECT ON OUR VERY LIVES. AND MOST OF US WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHANGE AND SOME JUSTICE. AND THE FRUITS OF THAT ARE STARTING TO SHOW.

Hi to all the board,
I am confused about something that I read on this board. It was the subject about the building and Development of new kingdom halls. I had remembered reading that the Society had gotten up a sort of a Kingdom Hall Development Committee to survey and search out areas for the building of New Kingdom Halls in the US, and some other countries. I am not sure of when this had started, but I'm going to guess that it was around 2 years ago. If I remember correctly, it seemed like it was almost 4 or 5 months after, that the Society sends another letter saying they are going to discontinue any further searching and surveying of the Halls and on top of that they were going to discontinue all building projects, and put a halt to any projects going on except the one in Warwick which is basically done.
I say all this because my Mother and I do not attend meetings, and have been out for over 3 decades. A member of the family calls today to talk to my Mother to see how she is doing since our Father had passed away late in the summer. It was the first time my Mother said that the conversation was very good, he was relaxed and asked a lot of questions. In the conversation, my Mother asked him "Where are you calling me from? He says "I'm calling from the state of ______." (its a East coast state. He is heading back home to the South East part of the country. I'm trying to protect him from too much being said.) My Mom says "What were you doing in that state? He replies that he was at a committee that works on this development. The stunning part is that he tells my Mother he is in charge of all Research Development in the US and a broad.
Why this bothers me: I thought that the Society was not going to get involved in any more building projects and put a halt to all other projects as well.
Now the way it has been said, is that FUNDING HAS DRIED UP DRASTICALLY. Between Lawsuits, merging of kingdom halls, taking halls and selling them for profit for other means, discontinuing of amenities at bethel, no more Gilead school, selling of numerous properties, drastic cutting on publishing literature, Lawsuits on various issues especially the sex lawsuits in the US, the large one in Australia with the Royal Commission, upcoming Lawsuits with Britain, Canada, and Mexico. When I heard they were cutting back on Kingdom Hall building, I never recalled the Organization ever discontinuing the contribution boxes for the Worldwide work and Expansion.
I also heard it said that the Society, at the time they came up with the arrangement of searching out areas for building halls, KNEW that the arrangement was not going to work, that it became a PLOY to at least get people to contributing any kind of funds. (I don't know if that part is true)
Can anyone enlighten me on this, I try to go on what I know is the truth behind the scenes of the organization, and not on here say. I will say that I remember reading a letter that leaked out about the new building initiative, and then they reneged on it.
Thanks for any help!

I read all of the replies, and appreciate it very much. I too remember getting those magazines in that brown paper and my Mother had it read in 1 hour. Now I read cooking magazines.

Hi to all!
My question is How many watchtower and awake magazines do the witnesses receive thru the year? My Mother and I stop going about 30 years ago, my sister does attend still, and she says that they will receive 3 watchtowers and 3 awakes a year. Is that true? Or is that for the new year?
I know from all my reading they have cut back an awful lot.
Thanks to all for any info you can give on this subject! I was tired of doing a search.
