I didn't go and refused to talk to them when they called to give me their verdict. I was deeply disinterested. When they sneaked in during the night and dropped the letters through the mail box they went into the bin unopened with the rest of the junk mail. They didn't even get the address right and I'd been in the congregation for over a decade. If they can't be interested enough to address a letter that important to them then that says it all.

26Lester Kite Who Was Humiliated,Character Tarnished, States During A Secret JC Hearing, Rude Watchtower Elders Mercilessly Insulted His Wife
by Scott77 in"...the secret hearings took place over two weekends in the latter part of 1992 and the committee consisted of the chairman, geoff woodfield (a family friend and a generally decent man); rensford ming (a quiet guy of jamaican origin, also a decent man); and dave churchill and stan rogers, both company men who humiliated me and assassinated my character.
they both were downright rude and insulting to my wife.
all elders, with the exception of woodfield were appointed from neighboring congregations.

I was a JW window washer and worked with 3 other JW window washers and in the same congregation knew another 6. There were a lot of us about. In that particular congregation jhanatorial services and window washing were the most common occupations. There are other congregations with fewer cleaners and fixed glass maintenance specialists but I have always know there to be a few.

Does the WT have spies here?
by logical1 indoes bethel have spies here that are exempt from the "no looking at apostate material" in order to "protect" the org?
i.e.
their job is to view apostate material so they can find out who they can send copyright infringement claims to?.

Whether they have spies or not faders need to be mindful that this is an open forum that can be read by anyone. If JWs do suspect that you are posting here then they can try to identify you from your posts. So be careful what personal information you divulge and do not share your id with people you do not know and trust. Just speaking from experience.

Could you live with not talking to your JW family for the rest of your life?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia inone of greatest obstacles to leaving the organization is the destruction of the family unit.
as lady-lee wrote about oompa, i thought of this topic, the society says "this is their way to get wrong doing people to return to the loving arms of jehovah after they repent of their sins" .
i know of men and women who are in good standings and hate their fellow spiritual jw family, i am willing to bet, wager that "jw-hatred" exceeds the worlds hatred, something about a self-assured group versus the "not so self assured' creates one plucked up structure.

I am shunned by my sister she would never spontaneously call me. To be free from the control of the society I had to accept this as a consequence. On balance it was worth it. You have to ask if on balance what is more important to you. For us freedom for our children was more important I would sacrifice my own life and contact withall my JW relatives for them to have the opportunities and childhood I was denied.
IT shows the depth of the contempt that their leverage counts for nothing when weighed in the balance.

My Dad Said He Loved Me
by cognac inhe's said it before, but, it was different this time.
his dad just died and i know there are parts about me that are the exact replica of him and grandpa.
him and gramp had a falling out cause of the jw religion.. anyways, i had the funny feeling that my dad has been looking at things differently lately, but, i know he won't say much cause he's in way too deep at this point.. he came up to me the other night, and said he really loved me.

Like the JWs always say a life changing event such as a death in the family really helps people to re evaluate and be willing to listen.
