the wheels of the watchtower termination squad grind on.
at 4:45 p.m. today barbara anderson was contacted by the chairman of her previous judicial committee from last week.
barb was asked to meet with a new judicial hearing to face new charges which are adjusted as follows:.
Sister Barbara Anderson,
Our hearts are with you. I myself will pray Jehovah for you, dear.
Love,
jwsons
back in the days of 'hovahville(not to be confused with 'whoville', because whoville was a nice place!
), it got to the point where i secretly wished that i had never learned the "truth".
the dividing of my family, the stupid rules and cong.
Scully,
I love your story. I share your experience. Eventhough Wacotower usually has a "brother" in every hospital to visit JDub patients everyday like other religions. In my wife case is in a maternity clinic, this "brother" only turn up afterward, when everything done in smooth way in their viewpoint,(mean no blood, no violation, no death or severe damage because of faithfulness to the Wacotower etc...). During the delivery, my wife nearly die. I even told the doctor and midwives: 'If you can not do better, please just save the mum...' I said in tears to the midwife. Luckily, all done well. My wife recovered in conscious condition after 2 days. During those time NO ONE from the JDubs visit us in the clinic. The clinic told us that because of the special circumsatnce, my wife should stay back at least two week time.However we couldn't, for we have no relative to look after things at home; we gone home with our own risk, the clinic said. So we should leave the clinic on day five. The "brother" turn up on that fifth day, when we ready to go home, just to check my wife medical record ! I show him "No blood accepted in any circumstances by faith in JWs" and previous record "JW: No autoglobus". After my wife went home, one of our best friend, she is a JW from far away and visit us at home.We didn't tell her about "the brother" but she herself told her story and said "Usually Society has a brother who visit every of JW patient in any hospital by checking the record from hospital's file to know who is JW at that moment but when I was in my maternity hospital, this brother only know about me in the hospital and visit me when I nearly gone home, he is very kind.." as that point we know that the procedure as such come from headquarter but we didn't tell her our story, for that time we still be "faithful witnesses." Look back I only realized that love inside Wacotower's Wall always has a condition...
now i'll try not to be paranoid and jump to conclusions, so let me stick to the facts.. at my quotes site i have set up an email "autoresponder" with links to online versions of the "pay attention" (i.e.

Quotes,
When they try to trap you as such, it means they bitterly admitted that your website is very sucessfull in decoding their robots (all JWs, I mean). Many robots left their Kingdom Halls because of your website (together with other webs like freeminds.org Shaun's website and Kent's etc...)BUT you're great and they couldn't find any fault on your website, so they tried to catch you. Next time, just lead them to Kent's website all of those books. Kent won at the courtroom when they sued him to the court a couple of years ago, result: Kent won and now freely distribute all those books in his website, (last month Kent even publish the Watchtower's Organization-book in eBook form !)
Your website great, welldone Quotes,
another question.. this one is for all those that began doubting the organisation when they were an obedient jw.. although i am sure you rarely shared it with anyone, what was the one problem you had with a certain jw only doctrine?.
what i mean is, what little gremlins lurked at the back of your mind?
what were the doubts that you kept hidden and what made you finally act on them?.
there are several major doctrines that the watchtower strictly.
holds but cannot publically acknowledge or openly teach.. here are a few:.
1) women are not allowed to have equal authority with men.. their status or rank is secondary and inferior.. 2) homosexuality is evil - they won't condemn it openly, especially.
The List is here. All in all,in many aspects, jehovah's Witnesses exposed themselves they didn't hold the Truth:

They said by themselves !

in a few more days i'll be making my departure from the wts, part of me is relieved and yet another part of me is dreading the drama i'll be going through shortly.
i've been trying to prepare myself for the deluge of questions that i know are sure to come from my family.
my wife will be the first person i tell obviously and then i'll tell my mother and younger brother.
Leander,
In my opinion, will you really count on the whole mess afterward? Your family can be broken because of your little letter. Do you really need to inform them about your decision ? for me, fade away is the better way. Just quit the meetings as if you're busy with job, family. If they ask you, just say you have to spend more hours for family. can you afford bitter, your wife, mum, dad and relative reap all the things you mess them up with your letter. Think again. You can escape from the WACOtower wall, that's the best thing in the world. Help yourself. Others may encourage you, but do they share the bitter after match with you?

in the past i have sometimes felt like i have to be the 'bad guy', so to speak, because i need to lock or delete topics, deactivate people, try and stop fights and such like - basically, telling people off and not being 'nice'.. well, apart from the odd heated debate and harsh word (and disruptive 'visit') i have not really had a great deal to do for the past month or two and it has been very nice - a pleasure to serve.. so ... i thought i should say a 'thank you' instead of a "stop it!
" for once
A big THANK YOU to you and your family Simon for giving us a place to express our feelings after leaving a cunning cult. We feel more friendly than under Big Ray time.

todays newspapers are full of the le pen story.
much concern is being voiced that right-wing organisations will ride on this story to make their own agendas more widely known, ie, send all the immigrants back home, britain for the british, sod off everyone else!.
now i personally love different cultures.
Englishman went to China for a research course in 3 yrs.
He always avoid to go to the Club at the corner of Tiamen
Square, where all English-speaking reporters used to be there
and avoids to speak English even though he surrounded by
English and English-speaking friends for he hates "ghetto"!!!!
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=26245&site=3
After those 3 years, Englishman decides to stay there
because he can see the hospitality of Chinese people. He
applied for a citizenship but he couldn't understand well
Chinese writting. Luckily, the offical is a Hongkong Chinese,
can speak his English and kindly help him to use the interpreter
service availlable to fill the form (all E.T. characters!).
Englishman thought this Chinese man should shout "YES, YES you
should know 'our easy language' before you can be our citizen" (in reality, it's only easy
for people with the similar culture like Japanese or
Korean). Even if the INS official did shout to him,
he can only smile and answer in Chinese:
"Me no Mendaring spoking" eventhough there are
100 free Chinese-courses availlable(HeHeHe???).
Today, after 10 yrs in China, Englishman still can not write Chinese
but he did enjoy love and kindness from the true good neighbours.
His wife is the black-hair Chinese girl with red-Hawaiian-dress who's
dancing on the left picture. His wife doesn't believe any barriers
can stop they love each other as human being. She studied English
for she knows he has difficulties with WacoTowerism. They are now
living in happiness with a little boy can speak two languages.
However, Englishman' sister-in-law (the blue-Hawaiian-dress dancer
on the right) can not understand why Englishman could ever believe
in a couple of decades about a Paradise, where Eve tried to repeat
"Flu-wer" after Adam when she first saw the tulips field in Holland !
Englishman now feels fully happy and he even can sing-a-long with Mr.
Bing Lee(an owner of a couple of electrical shops in China) "I like
Chinese ...foods" that 2UE radio plays every morning, while Englishman
enjoying Yum-Cha,looking his wife and his sister-in-law dance.
=================================================
How do you feel if someone in the Kingdom Hall said about you with others:
“Anyhow, he/she is a new baptizer” ?????. It’s a WacoTower ‘s typical sickness
==================================================
Then he wrote:
:I agree with those words
Can I just re-iterate something here. I don't care what colour a person is, be he purple or sky-blue-pink. I don't care where they come from, I believe eveyone should be treated equally and receive opportunities according to their merits.
My main point in starting this thread was to voice my frustration at persons who do not make an effort to adapt to their adopted country's customs and language.LDH and Abaddon both made valid points that some persons are inacapable of learning a new language. I gave this some thought and my conclusion is that it is precisely this sort person who should not emigrate to another country
And.. the Fact is:
When the British first land to Oceanic continent (Australia + islands).
The first thing they tried to do is to kill as much the local people as they can (we call them Aborigines here, similar to the Indian in State). Yes they tried to wipe out all the Aborigines at Tasmania state instead of tried to learn Aborigines language ! (Is it fair to suggest all the immigrants from Italy arrive UK and kill all Anglo-Saxon, then teach Italian ?). Eventhough long before British, the Chinese Gold-diggers already been in Tasmania around 4,000 years ago (according to a comment by Mr. John Law, a talk-show host of 2UE-radio about the existence of Dingo-dog came from China and we also have the word 'dinkum' in 'fair-dinkum' from these mine-diggers, whenever they find out the pure gold, they raise it up and shout 'chinkung,' means 'real, genuine, 100%'), they didn't try to wipe out the local people from this continent; and latter on, the French came but they didn't grasp this land, too (they left a lot of places that they named them in French, ie. Brighton le Sands, Matraville, Gladesville and all -ville).
If the British can not learn the local language (Aborigine Australian), should they come to this Oceanic continent?

And 100% of them are committed by immigrants w/ handguns import by second class citizens. Incredible !
