i have been meeting with member's of the kingdom hall, and i have attended a few times now on sundays.
i'd like to discuss experiences with this group since i'm new.
so far, i love it.
Hi Matthew,
Read Matthew 24 v 25 - 27
Ask them why their leaders take a parable of Jesus, apply it to themselves and use it as a way of making all JW's comply with their rules and beliefs which can be changed as they decide. (often)
Go to Wikipedia and look at Faithful and Discreet Slave.
I was a jw for over 40 years and was a Presiding Overseer (Now called Co-ordinator of the Body of Elders.) I know my stuff.
Others on here know more than me.
Ask away and welcome.

"Then don’t go to Bethel. It’s really quite that simple."
Amen to that, Bob!

"You should talk Gerrit. You and your lederhosen and the spanking board."
Love it!

The organisation "uses" Bethelites.
Got that right Bob.
Some booted bethelites round here crying away after years of service and their best years given. Didn't take 'em long to start answering up saying what a blessing it is like an abused wife with stockhom syndrome as they chuck the meds down their necks and begin to wash windows and wonder where their retirement fund is going to come from.

Elder 1: "I've so much time on my hands - no one in the hall needs encouragement; no one needs any practical help; no one is sick; no one has been waiting for Armageddon for decades; no widows or orphans that need a kind word. I know - I'll have a moan about the only young male that isn't on "the spectrum" or on meds. Yes! His suit is TOO TIGHT!"
Elder 2: "This is so true Elder 1. Why don't we saw off the branch we're sitting on, discourage the only possible future Min. Serv. prospect that the Cong. has got and show ourselves to be the self righteous jerks that we are."
"Oh Jack! Jack! Come into the back room for some encouragement!"

If you say so Bob.

Britain branch -793 publishers. Poland - 1896. Japan - 700.
Her case is still helping to protect children.
Sorry you're so cynical. I believe many litigants care about JW children. Even some lawyers too.
Sad that you don't know that.

If she settled good for her. Such is her right. She has more backbone than the Gibbering Boobies and their lackey lawyers put together.
A Jewel in the Crown indeed. And more jewels and more crowns have arisen and even more are on their way. Watchtower is losing adherents hand over fist; closing kingdom halls and all Fat Tony can do is talk about tight pants. What a joke.
Candace Conti the inspiration. That's who I'm talking about.

Hello Bobby.
You may be right about Candace Conti not being allowed to discuss the case. I don't know. But what I do know is that she is the Jewel in the Crown of litigants against WTB&TS in regard to pedo cases.
Poor ickle Watchtower; thought it could cut her down and shut her up eh? Well I believe it cost them a lot of dough, a lot of members, a lot of credibility and what's more it is like hydra.
For every head cut off even more pop up to replace it.
Her case is on record for every lawyer and litigant and there are many more in the pipeline.

quite frankly im disturbed at the lack of love and compassion.
especially for the first sister they talk about!.
This just shows more and more micro management from the Gibbering Boobies. I served on service committees as Secretary and as P.O./C.O.B.E.
I have to say our service committee meetings were much more relaxed than this and I remember we didn't care if a pioneer wasn't doing 840 hours as long as they were above about 750 we were just happy to accept they were doing their best.
I remember one time when a twenty something got married and for about 3 months before her wedding the hours dipped and in the three months after too. We just said do what you like and pick up again after using the example of the O.T. young Israelite soldier who got a year off to get married and set up a household. She actually came to us beforehand and asked what should she do and we said we really didn't mind and that she could choose to have a break and go back on later or just take six months off but keep the title and let us know then whether she wanted to stay on.
Another time a pioneer sister had a baby and she still got about 500 hours in and picked up afterwards. The C.O. didn't mind and just said "you know her circumstances best, brothers".
And we consulted with the other elders too (I understand that if you have a body of a dozen or more you can't consult on everything but we didn't want a "body within a body" syndrome) if we really felt someone should come off.
I also note the "we'll announce her deletion" - that is so cold for the 34 year old who had been struggling with genuine health issues.
More and more bloody micro-management! I am so glad I don't have to even think about being subject to and subjecting others to Pharisaical rules any more.
