I had not been to the meeting in years, but turned in time to NOT be bothered. They said that I can NOT do that anymore, unless I attend the meeting. They asked the CO.

I am assuming that if you fornicate and say you are a witness, then you bring reproach. Despite being inactive, people think you are a witness, even though you are inactive. The thought is when you become active, you were disciplined. If you fornicate and do not say you are a J-Dub.......and STOP, then the impunity clause probably kicks in.
The above is all my own reasoning, not based on my conversation.

I am not sure if it is true or not. This is based on dialogue only.

Yes, I asked directly. They stated that people, especially women will commit great sins and feel that they would get disfellowshipped if they returned. The key is to not sin and say that u are a witness. This was said to be in a letter from Brooklyn.
Also, you can NOT turn in time and not attend the meetings. Time is only for ACTIVE J-Dubs.

The elders stopped by today. They spoke of a new arrangement where the org is asking EVERYONE to come back regardless of their sins. They just want them to come back with impunity. I am not sure if this was announced on this board before, but I thought it was interesting.
Also spoke of the New York elders school becoming local.

With this new logic and reasoning, it appears that there will truly NOT be any intelligent J-Dubs in the org. This teaching will be ignored and 5 years before it reverts back to a previous understanding, the majority of dubs will examine it.

I have learned that anyone that actually READS the magazines can NOT possibly believe the garbage!!! The generation teaching will never go away. The explanations are becoming more and more difficult to back themselves out of. The new light has to enlighten the few intelligent J-Dubs in the dark!!!

How Many Here Actually "Studied" The Publications?
by minimus inwhen i was a teenager i extensively studied nearly every publication.
i especially enjoyed looking up the root words meanings in the hebrew and greek of the bible language.
it gave me the flavor of a word and its origins.

I read almost everything. I was a regular pio, so I read it and commented at least 3 times every meeting. Although, I have NEVER read a yearbook!! I always thought it was a waste!!

As a JW Were You or Someone you Knew Falsely Accused by Elders ?
by flipper inthought i'd put this out there to see if you knew of people in the jehovah's witnesses who were falsely accused or mistreated by the " police " or elders in the congregation.
many times it's been by experiencing injustices that get us to get shaken out of our cult thinking mode and reality kicks in and the scales fall from our eyes that the wt society is just a man made organization whose leaders are no better than us - actually in many cases more unscrupulous and conniving than any of us would have ever been to each other !
i was falsely accused 2 times .

When I was dating my wife, we were kissing in my new car at an LA area pier. I saw that some gang members had boxed me in and were starting to approach. I carried a gun with me at all times. This was actually non very uncommon for J-Dubs in gang infested areas. I held up my gun, without the young lady seeing it. They moved their cars to allow me to leave. During this time, car jacking and murders were common in my area. I was acting weird, as my fiance said, so I told her, that my conscience ws bothering me, so I wanted to abruptly leave. She was disturbed as a result of my statement. She told her elders. One that I was on several assembly programs with. He actually hated me because I was dating my wife. He said that I ws not good enough for her. Despite being a servant and a pioneer.
My elders called me in for a meeting. This elder said that I tried to RAPE my wife but she managed to get away. The story had so many details that I was wondering, "Did I do that?".
I had my future wife and mother come to my elders and deny the lies of the PO of another hall. Yes, there were more details that are many and bothersome, but I did not pursue the false claims.
I just eventually moved away.
