It's not the first time he has requested such information. When the British Charity Commission began their investigations he asked Victims to share their story with him, stating that he would act as a go between.
If you get on his wrong side, or even if he just perceives that, he can become nasty.
Let's say you've given him your story and then later sue the Watchtower, you could have compromised your own position. JC and his helpers keep a data base of information for reporting purposes in furtherance of their own agenda.
In fact BCG, case 29 of the ARC, was upset because he and covert fade wanted to write her story, she refused as she wanted to do her own. When she decided this John Cedars then attacked Alexandra James calling her a "regressive activist"( made up word imho), probably because she helped Bo Juel bring his book to fruition as editor. She obviously is a threat to him since she has a proven track record of helping abuse victims get their stories out.

Things You Still Agree With The JWs On
by Fred Franztone inaside from obvious things that most people agree on, like theft being wrong and the importance of family, i can't think of a single thing i agree with the jws on, nothing that's specific to their religion anyway.
do you have any?.

SBF (JWS) are the most consistent defenders of God's name.
It's the old king Saul argument isn't it? A bad king doesn't stop it being Jehovah's people. It's worth considering at least

2017 Service Year Report Grand Totals

Perhaps my math is not correct, but do the figures represent a 7,198.8 hour commitment to get ONE person baptized?
You're correct.
2 billion hours preaching. Utter rot.
Take out lunch breaks, coffee breaks, donut breaks, cart guarding, drive time, looking for deaf people, building projects, elders public talks, stuffing mags in laundrettes, pioneer shuffling.....how much of that 2 billion is active preaching???A miniscule percentage.

SBF I'm also amazed that more and more JWs are becoming pioneers.
Guessing it's because it's easier to get the hours in, sitting by a cart playing clash of clans.
I'm still pretty surprised, though, too. Agree with your suggestion that their could be a split of ideologies.

Crazy statements from JWTalk
by Jehovah lol ini'm sure many of you are aware of the jwtalk site, a message board which has yet to succumb to apostasy (give it time).. some of the forums there are visible to the public, and i've seen some crazy stuff.
here is a sampling:.
"satan is really trying his best to make things worst for the witnesses, knowing the 6,000 years is almost up, from eve's creation!".

funny thing is if they were to read their bibles, cut off from all things jworg , they would likely snap out of the culty mind set and leave the jws.

I know their has been a lot of controversy about Lloyd Evans /John Cedars over the years and I have been on the fence making a judgement about him ,however I think this post by himself LE/JC has tipped the scales.
Smiddy I'm with you. I enjoy Lloyd's JWbroadcast rebuttals, and I do think there has been a touch of envy in the attitudes of some, particularly other YouTuber's. There has also been some rarther nasty insinuations about Lloyd being rarther predatory toward young women. This from so-called " Christian" exjws, and Lloyd has, quite rightly in my opinion, put a lot of their spite down to his atheism.
I also 'get' that he is trying to make a living in the competitive area of journalism, with a specialist subject with very limited appeal. Doesn't help that he lives in a country where I imagine the job market is very limited. I get all that.
But really. Is this a competition - the most heartrending story gets to pay you the honour of having their story printed as an afterthought, in a book with Lloyds name emblazoned on the front cover. And this purports to help people like them? Really?
Nothing wrong with being paid for your work but if you want to be a professional be a professional - ghost write, put the persons name on the cover and share the profits.And don't take advantage of The hurt and unheard.

Do they officially give marking talks without telling the one marked?
by Wakanda inmy pimi (physically in, mentally in) friend believes she was marked without them telling her.
i believe her, and she has been making work for the elders.
she is a pain in their arse, and they are a pain in hers, which is great.

Zeb
yes they do because they don't have the testicular fortitude to front some people and a marking talk allows the smug elderettes to feel even more smug because they will know who its aimed at.
Exactly, plus I thought as Christians you were supposed to: Mathew 18.15
"If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over."
Not muck spread to every man and his dog behind your back.!
