  Whitewashed graves is what they are. Fine looking on the outside but full of rotten bones.

  @wifi and barbara

  I guess that if you have an article about George Calvin Biggs and Barbara says he was accused years ago then that confirms he is a JW?

  Is it the same person? - I mean if he's 27 and giving talks at conventions then he must be a very young rising star elder.

  The two faces of mrs hoser

  they say women are hard to figure out.

  she is is proactive about retirement planning but talks about how things might be in the new system.

  she shuns one of our children (dfd) but put him as beneficiary one one of her life insurance policies.

  i'm sorry if this comes across as rude or mean, but i'm sorry - not sorry!

  there is a woman that was in my congregation for years.

  she was dating a 'worldly' man at the time and ended up df'd.

  Well ... I know it must be irritating but this is your opportunity to convince her that life outside is better and why that is so.

  It is incredibly galling when someone acts like she does - but she is talking to you and this is an opportunity to calmly tell her like it is (the jw organisation, I mean).

  ARC/Generation/unscriptural demands etc etc etc.

  If not for her for her kids?

  CLIENT INTAKE - CSA QUESTIONNAIRE & General legal advice and direction

  by wifibandit in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  client intake—csa questionnaire.

  general legal advice and direction.

  hi wifi.. i don't believe these have been seen before.. one is a general guideline given to elders who report a child safety issue in the congregation, and the second is the form they have to return to the legal department.. they are both recent forms.. the questionnaire has an interesting question at a.6 stating if the legal dept has advised to contact the authorities yes or no.

  The Legal dept phone number phone number looks like London England. So I guess this is a UK form especially as organisation is spelled with an "s", not a "z".

  Can anyone get it off to the ARC and the UK enquiry?

  (Especially the self serving box with the sentence "The information will also enable the Legal Department to jointly defend the congregation elders, and the organisation of Jehovah's Witnesses, should litigation arise." at the top of the Client Intake - CSA Questionnaire.)

  Trolley cart "witnessing" is getting ridiculous

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i really fail to see how much actual "witnessing" is occurring with the trolley carts.publishers, usually pioneers, just stand or sit there not engaging anyone and count their time.. the only thing i notice that it's accomplishing is brand exposure for jw.0rg so the public is exposed to the logo and literature/poster card headlines.. take for example this "evening" witnessing by a pioneer elder while on summer holiday/vacation.. .

  is this not a wth kinda moment when you consider the years of slaving, knocking on doors, business territory and bible studies we had to keep performing so we weren't branded a "weak" publisher?.

  And think of all the people who don't approach the carts but do click on jwborg.

  First they see it's nothing special; then if they keep looking they see how strange they are; then they click on all the other google top page jw stuff.

  I tell you - jwborg is doing more to stagnate this corporation and stop people entering than anything you or I can do!

  The only ones that do study and "progress" have mental or other issues which are useless to the borg's plans.

  Reinstated and then fade

  by Zeds Dead in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm a man - d'fd for 2.5 years now and divorced.

  find it hard to date girls out here only due to always having this secret i carry with me that i was once a jw and the thought of telling a girl one day why my family don't acknowledge me as even alive.. recently been thinking of trying to get reinstated and then do a quick fade as i cant go back to the whole jw stuff.. easier said than done and was turned down twice by elders after an immediate attempt 2 years ago.. my motivation for trying would be 1.

  ) to see if family make contact and 2) play the last hand in their game and give the middle finger.. interested in viewpoints?.

  When you start a relationship and it develops the other party may not want to have much to do with your family anyway! Could be a bonus for them.
