may you all have peace!.
on occasion, dear ones post questions on the board that have a "legal" undertone.
sometimes those questions are just trying to get a sense of what questions such one should ask (perhaps of an attorney), sometimes they have to do with very ordinary events, and sometimes they really do require in-depth legal assistance/analysis.
Sorry, but some on this board who claim to be attorneys or attorneys in the making.....
I am involved in a legal case right now
When I've shown their advice to my (real) attorney, he has gotten quite angry at their ignorance.
Seriously:
SOME OF THE PEOPLE ON HERE CLAIMING TO HAVE LEGAL KNOWLEDGE/EXPERIENCE ARE IDIOTS.
I feel bad when ones ask for their advice by name.
millions of children have grown up as jehovahs witnesses.
lets start from the very beginning.. i owe my life to jehovahs witnesses.
more important than what he was saying was who he was.
I really, really enjoyed your story and I thank you for trusting us with it.
I hope you will feel free to post here, I think you could be a reall asset to newbies just coming out.
Thank you, again.

Ya, I didn't grow up with the same Smurf fears as the rest of you.........We heard the stories,( Smurf runs amok at K-Hall and terrorizes congregation ......) but my parents were inactive at the time, so I remember watching Smurfs on Saturday mornings.......
I think I had some figurines, too.....
The Steelers t-shirt we totally understood....... ( too small for the man, but makes a great nightie for me......)
The Smurf we were like, "Whaaaaa??? "

Oooooo, I heard the story today and it's a goodie!!
Love you, Thinky!
it has been very interesting and beneficial reading the posts and comments of everyone on the board since i joined back in june of this year.
the recent efforts of mankeli have made me consider exactly what it is i have issue with when it comes to the teachings of the wtbs and jehovah's witnesses.
i have stated my background before: 38 years in the organization, 10 years at bethel in responsible positions, 15 years an elder with circuit and district responsibilities and parts on circuit and disctrict assemblies, a former member of the hospital liason committee and a presiding overseer for 5 years.
@prodigalson...I am not sure what you mean perhaps you can PM me with a more detailed explanation...I welcome your observations...
You are assuming "the scriptures" are the final word.
When I checked out the actual history of the Bible canon and how it came to be, I was shocked.
As a JW, you think you are getting a first-rate religious education - you are not.
Good luck to you,
Palm
(P.S. Check out the Gnostic gospels. Why do you suppose they were left out fo the bible canon?? )
recently two elders caught my wife at the door while i was away.
they mentioned the need to talk to me about something on facebook.
yes, i know how facebook can be, but i choose to use it anyway.. the strange thing is, i just spent a alot of time looking at it, and nothing is publicly available, so unless a one spouse of an inactive jw is looking at it, i don't see how they were able to get this information.. anyway, that wasn't my real question.. i haven't been to any kh in over 2 years, i haven't seen the elder (24 year old) in about two years and don't even know the other (he is recently out of bethel, but older 50ish?)..
Why can't they just leave people alone?
Good luck, middleman.

reports have reached patterson that faders are much more dangerous than those disfellowshipped.
their reasons for fading are no longer new to the gb.
