  Update: Got my Judicial Committee cancelled

  original thread here.

  update: so, after the meeting i had with elders a few weeks ago as outlined in my original thread, they met as a body and once again called to tell me that after considering my case they still thought a judicial committee should be held against me and asked to be there "thursday at 7:30".

  all of this, i remind you, because of posting coc on facebook.

  Thanks Zeb.

  I believe Johnson was disfellowshipped for telling TTATT in that book re 1914 ie that 1914 is a load of codswallop.

  I'm assuming the Brooklyn Tabernacle was a Masonic hall?

  CTR and Co used a lot of Masonic halls for meetings according to the book 'Watchtower and the Freemasons'

  Hi all,

  I am just about finished 'out of the Cocoon' (great book) and am looking for ex JW books to read.

  So far I have read:

  Crisis of conscience (brilliant/amazing)

  In search of Christian freedom (interesting)

  Journey to Gods house (very good)

  Escape from paradise (very candid account)

  Exiting the JW cult (still reading/ good, but deep)

  Captives of a concept (easy to read and factual)

  Watchtower and the Freemasons (good)

  If can give some suggestions and a short review. It would be much appreciated.

  Thanks

  Midweek meeting video

  by aboveusonlysky in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  did anybody see the service meeting video this week?.

  australian sister was sexually abused as a child and thought of ending her life at 14 years old, sometime later jw's call on her father who accepts a study and eventually the whole family becomes witnesses, life gets much better as the sister immerses herself in pioneering etc, she still has some dark days but prayer along with going for walks and swimming has helped her cope with bad memories of child abuse, the new system (just around the corner) will completely fix everything......... i'm dumbfounded, the hypocrisy has literally rendered me speechless......comments anybody?.

  I must admit, I was gob smacked when I saw this video as took me by surprise. Admittedly, I felt sorry for the woman in the video and could see the genuine pain she has suffered from years of abuse. My heart goes out to her as an individual and genuinely hope she can move on with her life, as indeed others who have also suffered abuse.

  But it is the fact that the organisation have in the past gone on camera denying that they don't take adequate action toward child molesters within their ranks, and even slate all complaints as apostate driven lies and dishonesty!

  Court cases in the United States and investigations by the Australian Royal Commission show otherwise.

  So who really are the ones who are lying and being dishonest?

  watch the following video from 6 minutes 50 seconds to find out.. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i0lrdx3vpug.

  a woman wrote to the guy refuting his research.

  here is his reply to back up his proof.. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=woqjxehuppq.

  The 2nd video is very well put together.

  I like the way he uses the illustration of the octopus with its arms here and there in regards to WT corporation business dealings.

  He also makes a great point about how elders brush things off having done zero research. This is the standard approach they take when TTATT is brought to their attention.

  This guy has clearly done a lot of research into finding proof of the WT Corporations stocks and shares. As he points out, there is nothing wrong with that, however, when some of these shares are with companies that make weapons, cigarettes, soft porn; that is where the hypocrisy comes in. It seems to be 'Money over morality'.

  And of course......'Jehovah doesn't take American express'. :-)

  Does it not dawn on the cart witnesses?

  i sat in town recently, right in the window of a nice wee pub.

  within minutes i realised that i had a perfect view of a jw cart and the two ridiculously dressed jw's (they have absolutely no individuality at all.

  what's more, they all look like they're going to a funeral).

  Hey Jambon, here's a guy who enjoyed a pint. As someone who never went out in the ministry, I would love to ask him his thoughts on the carts :-)

  My mother became a JW when I was 16. She kept at me and eventually decided on a study. Back then, I thought it was a quaint little Christian faith group that had a clear understanding of the bible. Being young and impressionable, I thought it would meet my spiritual needs. Little did I realise it would take over my life!
