If she was baptised as a minor she can claim her baptizm was invalid - if she has not been a regular pioneer since her baptism. She will need to be hardnosed about it, do it in writing and involve watchtower legal to do it.

' everything thing he said, said its going to suck.. bring a hat: its going to be sunny, prepared to get sunburned.. bring plenty of water: its going to be hot and sweaty.. parking is going to be bad: prepare to walk a mile to the site.. bring a fm radio: its going to be echoy inside.. .

Watchtower and Awake finally becoming one magazine?
New masthead -
The Watchtower: Announcing Jehovah's Kingdom - incorporating Awake, incorporating Golden Age incorporating articles about the amazing dung beetle and its relevance to the march of the world powers and the overlapping generation, did we say the generation that saw 1914 will not pass away? nope, not us! and by the way Watchtower library back to 1950 will be discontinued as it shows up all the false prophecies from freddy franz. Use the on line library - clean and post 2000 and far less embarrassing.

How Many Had Chronic fatigue syndrome?
by OnTheWayOut inchronic fatigue syndrome refers to severe, continued tiredness that is not relieved by rest and is not directly caused by other medical conditions.. did you have many congregation members, particularly pioneers, that said they had " chronic fatigue syndrome" ?.
that's their "get-out-of-jail-free card.
" they were free to cancel anything at anytime and it was their legitimate reason for not doing anything that didn't involve field recruiting.

NHS website (UK) says 250,000 in the UK have CFS. So 1 in 250.
In my hall there are at least 4 self diagnosed/real diagnosed, so 1 in 15/20. Dozens more in the circuit.
A JW illness indeed.
Yet the majority all had "good days" when they needed to go on holiday or walk the dogs or go down the benefits office.
One woman got herself a scheduled list of help so that some dumb schmucks had a rota to cook her and her husband (another crazy) a meal every day. One sister with three kids faithfully turns up with something mid-afternoon to put in the oven for later. Said M.E. sufferer is stood on a stepladder cutting her garden hedges ... "It's one of my good days" she says.
Well get off your ass, cook a meal and tell the sister not to bother then!
Don't get me started.

It is very rare for a CO to meet up with a fader alone; they don't usually like to do their own dirty washing. 2nd witness or not he will undoubtedly ensure you are disfellowshipped if you do tell him how you feel.
Be careful out there!

It ain't the jw's they've made this procedure for ... it's the hoped for £10,000,000 annual saving for the NHS.

Now in USA and European cities the CO can sell cong A KH (own hall for years not sharing) and tell them to share with cong B and (maybe C)
Society make $100,000's. Cong A shares a hall with the KH of B (and maybe C)
Take a city with ten congs in 6 halls. They can make it nine congs in 4 halls, sell two.
Loadsamoney for Society/a few elders to spread about.
Elders can't say "it's our hall" so easily - after all "mother" really owns it now and the branch decides what is to be done with it.

That house at half a million pounds is nothing - a tiny house in West London costs that any day. Just one of the JW 4 bed bethel dormitory detached houses in Mill Hill would fetch over a million.
North Wales is stunning and the views are spectacular; but it rains there like it does in Ireland. The weather can be pretty miserable and the wind and rain will lash around that house much of the time. Sure it will be nice in summer some days but it will be unusual to top 75F and often a wet 60/65F at best.
From a business point of view they've got a lot of property for their money and it sits right in centre of the most Welsh-speaking part of Wales. I guess the big wigs will holiday up there on the pretext it's a "speshul vizzit" - being 250 miles from the UK branch "ice-box" will be nice.
Supporting the Welsh language is a waste of UK resources and as mentioned above if I lived there and had kids I would rather my child learned a major language instead.

Loads of branches have closed. This means service departments in the big branches cater for more traffic. Just like pioneers aren't overseen by the branch anymore- as in sending in reports etc. - nor will e&ms appointments be. Takes away the workload and means the org can:
1. Take useful branch service dept members and put them on profitable building projects, pedo defence and money related activity.
2. Take useless branch service dept members and kick 'em to the curb or send them off to East Nyack as a special pioneer.
CO's can access WT megacorp's database of pedo's, weirdo's and face-doesn't- fit-o's before appointing and can be the fella the buck stops at for deleting.

A farce elder here
by His Excellency injust to share a little about me:.
i was recently appointed an elder, about 6 months ago now, and that is exactly two years after my awakenning, but funny that the appointment came also about 2 years after i had completely lost all faith in god and had been leading a full time anti-jw life .
makes you wonder the role of the holy spirit in the entire nomination or appointment process.. .

HE - You are one twisted self serving piece of work.
I call bullshit. A JC is formed that you are on but not until May? Over two weeks away? With a self proclaimed little goosestepping elder like you involved? And you have used JC's to turn 7 publishers against the organization? In the six months since you say you were appointed? Right.
