i just read about this on the ex-jw subreddit.
link to the video (10m06s).. skip to 7:35 where he says: "another way we can contribute to the oneness - rejecting false stories that are designed to separate us from jehovah's organization.
as an example, think about the apostate-driven lies and 'dishonesties' that jehovah's organization is permissive toward pedophiles.
If anybody takes action against someone who would threaten our young ones and takes action to protect our young ones, it's Jehovah's organization. We reject outright such lies."
What does he mean by this is Jehovah's Organization? His wording is very odd.
Does he mean it's okay to take action against someone who would threaten our young ones or takes action to protect them? He leaves his sentence unfinished and just says it's Jehovah's organization.
Very strange.
i was deleted as the cobe after i let my adult child move back home and he admitted that he fornicated under my roof while my wife and i where away on a rbc project.
of course the elder mode in me kicked him out of the house.. the elders moved quickly to remove me because i was too involved in "theocractic activities", i had neglected my adult son.. i accepted this primarily because i didn't want to serve with a boe that did not want me.
i was devastated however because it was the only life i knew.
Welcome James Jack - It sounds like your Body of Elders (BOE) were like most BOE's - Modern Day Pharisees. Most likely they considered you a threat or were jealous of you and your wife, your talents and your accomplishments and they were looking for just one reason to get rid of you as an elder.
I know the feeling of being on a BOE where you know you are not wanted. I am so glad my wife and I are out. No more mind numbing meetings, no more trips to the back room. Take any of these two-bit egotistical jerks out of the congregation and they HAVE NO POWER. They are irrelevant in the real world.
Again welcome and may you find peace.
over the years, i knew some individuals that were pretty bad witnesses.
they broke more commandments that most.
Yes Blondie - You are spot on..."First and foremost, LIARS."
They smile at you while they twist the figurative knife in your back.
Jesus described them most aptly at Matthew 23:33: “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?” NIV
the current jws do not cease to amaze.
here's their latest video on youtube and straight from bethel.. there is a lot of work involved in this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwou6e5vwbo .
i thought we needed carpenters and plumbers in paradise...oh well... the hypocrisy.
to all bodies of elders in the united states branch territoryre: experienced attorneys and paralegals needed at bethel.
dear brothers:.
So glad I'm out. Maybe new positions in the future...coming soon Lawders (Elder Lawyers)?...

Do as we say, not as we do. Talk about setting the example! They need lawyers on the down low. Wonder if they have them sign a confidentiality agreement so they can't talk about what they defend...hmmm. Sounds like they're gearing up for major persecution on the legal front.
so i decided to sign up after many years of lurking.
started researching after finding out about ray franz, which inevitably brought me to this site.. i'm still well and truly inn, but don't want to give any information out, i'm sure you guys know the reasons.. since "jay double you .
org" came online, there has been a definite sense of hysteria with everyone who is "inn", and i get a feeling it's going to get a whole lot crazier as the years press on.. one point i would like to raise is that i feel, without a doubt, that 2034 is going to be the new finish line.
Welcome campaign of hate.
What I hate most is all the years wasted believing everything they said and printed; Being angry at myself for not researching the faith. Hating the fact that I still spent many years on the inside even after learning the TTATT.
2 Corinthians 13:5 "Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith." New Living Translation
But enough of the hate. I will no longer give them time they do not deserve.
i heard form a reliable source that a kingdom hall consolidation is going to be happening in the us.
currently they are looking at every kingdom hall to see if they could and should sell it.
any kingdom hall that has not been updated and is in a bad location (long driveway, not in a visible location etc...) will be sold.
- it's amazing to track the confusion and stupidity contained in wt articles.
- in only one watchtower you can find multiple contradictory statements, and representations of truth that are simply lies made up on the fly.
- as an example the nov,15 2014 wt has the following quotes : -.
