this seems to be a favorite topic to bring up to any witnesses who post on any website where there are any opposers, either here or topix or anywhere.. so, here is the one and only place i will be discussing it.

who can prove that witnesses are specifically told not to post on websites about them?.

Do you believe standfirm that the wtbs would ever come out and directly print, in say the Kingdom ministry or study wt the url's of forbidden websites/forums/blogs?

Of course they would never do that. Why? Because human nature means many would go and visit or at least google such sites. The combined use of intellect , critical thinking skills and exposure to FACTUAL information relating to all things Jw eventually leads one out of the WTBS publishing sect.

And the initial effect? Well you already know the effect. That's why you are here. Sure you say you're on here to "sharpen your defences" but it's more likely you have some serious doubts and are in denial or are experiencing cognitive dissonance on some level. I admire your decision to stand up for what you currently believe. Many people have been on your very same journey remember.

When did Jehovah's witnesses become God's organisation btw? A year would be nice.

hello to jwn!

this is standfirm.

i mainly post on the topix jehovah's witness forum, but i decided to give it a try over here also.

Hobo Ken

I'll try and keep it very simple standfirm. Welcome.

Jehovah's witnesses have the truth.

The wtbs and their Governing Body have been chosen as Jehovah's representatives.

I assume as one of Jehovah's Witnesses you believe both of the above statements to be true?

Please tell all when both of these events became reality and supply proof.

Thanks in advance.

Personal Grudges and Judicial Committees: is There a Link?

by passwordprotected in

i've received a submitted article for publication on my blog (http://thegoverningbody.org).

this is from the introduction:.

i have an issue i would like raise.

Hobo Ken

Well I'm in no doubt that there are personal "grudges", for want of a better word, on the agenda.

In the case of Ronnie Hunter's actions toward me I feel it is multi-faceted.

1. I challenged Ron Hunter's dispensation to act in whatever way he saw fit, saying and doing whatever he wished. That ultimately was a challenge to his authority and leadership status.

2. At least 4 years earlier he "shepherded" a friend of mine with another elder, lee green. During this visit he told my friend that I was a bad associate and that he should steer clear of me. Despite the fact that I wasn't under any discipline and to all intents and purposes a fully functioning member of the congregation.

This friend promptly told me of the visit and what was said, which was later confrimed to me by the other elder Lee Green. To his credit Lee spoke up at the time and said to Ron Hunter "you can't say that Ron" "you can't name names and tell publishers to avoid other persons in the congregation" .

To me this illustrates beyond any doubt that in this case he had a personal agenda , or at least a heavily predisposed will to act against me and dec 25 2008 provided that opportunity.

3. This particular Elder Ron Hunter has a son John who is a peer of mine. He had previously been in similar judicial "bother" as I had in the past and was disfellowshipped. is it possible that Ron felt That since I was only given a "public reproof" (he served on the 3 man committee 2003) he felt I had somehow "got off the hook" so to speak? I know that the deliberations in that case lasted almost an hour and the other two were friendly and had no real issue with seeing me kicked out. Ron Hunter again in my view was the protagonist pushing for my exit.

Those are some thoughts I have on this case and from what I can see this is a patttern in many cases.
