Congratulations on the new job. Hope it turns out better than my last "better opportunity".
Beware of kissing that monkey. I once got bitten by a monkey and it hurt like a sonofabitch.

i am one happy clam!
just got a job offer at almost 10k over my current salary plus another 10k after 2 years.
it's with an agency that would afford me many more professional opportunities, transferability, and promotion potential, and, most importantly, provides excellent benefits and job security and comes at a time when i need an offer since my current company is closing soon.. also, one of the more awesome things is that this job is under the dod, so i can stick it to the watchtower!.

a little while ago a dear one referred to my trip to "bethel" and discussion with carey barber.
he asked if he could read them.
That is a great story so far. Can't wait to hear the rest.
Please note.......on a thread about hearing voices.....I couldn't resist making some "Field of Dreams" wisecracks.

here's a jc fubar decision that i experienced.. i dealt with a brother who threatened to kill his family, my family, and then himself.
this guys' secret sins were becoming manifest and as an elder some things came to my attention, including wife abuse and according to her, allegations of possible misconduct with the young daughter.
Jehovahsheep......if you don't believe me, that's no problem. I'm just relating a factual experience of mine that did happen exactly as told, that eventually led to me leaving the JW's. All the details have not been given, like when during the stalking period the brake petal came off after my wife took the kids to school. Couldn't prove that one, so I didn't mention it.....however, not one other time did a brake pedal come off any of my cars.
The corruption mainly existed with the brother in question and the "Special Committee's" agenda to protect the Org and CO. Other elders he had on tape just did stupid things they didn't want anyone to know about. The CO would have been big time embarrassed.

This happened awhile back, but the way it went down reminded me of Harrison Ford when he played Jack Ryan in "Clear and Present Danger". I was the squeaky clean boy scout elder that seen wrong doing and I was going to expose it and get it straightened out. Then the political cover up emerged and I tried to expose that. The outcome was so shocking to me that I knew God's Spirit could not be directing such a group that would allow such a travesty of justice. The reprimand I was given was with the threat to not talk about this with anyone! I could have probably advanced more in this org., but I couldn't play these political games nor be apart of it.

The tapes and letters revealed excess money being given to the CO, talking about and making fun of people and a "done deal" to make this guy an elder before the CO's stint was over. The letters were written in a creepy Jonathan & David relationship style. On one of the tapes, he is taping me and my intuition is alarming....I hear myself on tape asking him if he ever taped anybody. He denies taping any elders. Then I hear myself flat out asking him, "have you ever taped me?" Then I hear him say, "No, I would never tape you." Some elders he could call up and lead them with questions to incriminate themselves over different things that evidently had happened.
I do believe the "Special Committee" elders were instructed under no condition were they to read or hear the contents of the letters & tapes. The wife was instructed to turn them over to those elders to give back to the husband.

Good-frikkin'-grief...!!! I've never heard of such stupidity - but I've been out for 26 years or so... Your story makes me very angry at the idiot elders! Talk about having their heads up their arses!!! Zid
As outrageous as it sounds......no heads were up arses. It was a hand picked committe of suck elders with a political directive to protect the Org. and CO.

I dealt with a brother who threatened to kill his family, my family, and then himself. This guys' secret sins were becoming manifest and as an elder some things came to my attention, including wife abuse and according to her, allegations of possible misconduct with the young daughter. I brought it to the attention of his elders and the CO, but nothing was done because he had too much secret dirt on all of them. Since no one would help her and we had been friends with the family, the wife ask if we would help her get out of the abusive situation. We agreed to help and house her & the children until her father could arrange to come move them. We got death threats and was stalked at night by this guy. The elders or police would not nothing. I was friends with him before he went off the deep end, knew he had guns and that he was a nut job enough to be the type to kill his family, then himself. The wife inadvertently came into possession of secret letters & tape recordings of an inappropriate relationship with the CO that made the CO look very bad. The situation was so bad that at night I barricaded the doors and nailed scrap wood across the doors to keep him from breaking the glass and unlocking the door to enter and kill us all. I finally got tired of it and got a 12 gauge shotgun. That very night my intuition woke me up at 3AM to find this guy slowly driving by my house. He stopped at the end of my driveway and I stepped out on the porch to shoot him. When he seen me he took off and never did stalk us anymore. The wife's father came and moved them away from him. I kept pushing the issue about this guy and the CO, until finally the CO formed a "Special Judicial Committee" of elders of his choosing to look into it. At the hearing I told the things I knew and the wife told what she knew, including the suspected misconduct with the young daughter. We offer to let them read the letters and hear the tape recordings, but they refused.
The end result......nothing was done to the brother or the CO. I however, was called into a meeting with my elders and was forced to listen to a letter where Brooklyn, the CO, and the "Special Committee" elders gave me a REPRIMAND!
That was the beginning of the end for me in this org. It wasn't long after that I was completely out.
Have you seen or heard about any Judical Committee fubar decisions?

Before you went to Bethel did THE VOICE say, "go the distance?"
