i believe the organization is already easing up on disfellowshipping people for apostasy.

they know most doubters just want to be left alone.

disfellowshipping them turns them into martyrs.

I know 2 of the Elders on the Ray Franz JC

by James Jackson in

when i read coc, i was stunned that the 2 elders (theotis french & rob dibble) were on ray franz judcial committee.

i have known these men for over 20 years having done rbc and convention work with them.

they are still elders today which means they were in their early 30's(which is unheard of for a case of this importance to have inexperienced elders to sit on) on this committee.. without revealing myself, i have never tried(but have wanted to), ask them about their on having to judge a former gb member.. then out of the blue, about a year ago, i was mentioning how hard it is trying to get younger ones to volunteer to one of these elders, and he says"this is nothing compared to to sitting on the committee that had to disfellowship ray franz".

James .....with all due respect............but,

"Unless you have been in my situation, it is hard to explain the mindset of a former longtime Elder(21 years), Regular Pioneer (14 years), one was at the top of his game, handling many responsibities on the Circuit and District level, serving on over 50 Judicial cases, including Appeal Committees, various Elder Schools (including Teaching parts in these schools), and even spending a week at Patterson for the COBE Kingdom Ministry School"

...speaking as a woman (read no credibility) who

wasted 50 yrs doing just the dirty work for watchtower,

I would think that with all your experience & prestige,

that you would be so rightiously indignant that you

would USE your huge weight of (wt) power & know-how

to effectively bring down this house of lies!

If not the likes you ......WHO?

Having said that ......thanks for sharing.

How to Wear a Pinkie Ring, by Stephen Lett, Governing Body Member

by Oubliette in

always the fashionista amongst the governing body members, mr. stephen lett recently showed us how even an older man can display a certain swagger, a certain je nesais quoi that says, "i'm one of the anointed, and you're not!".

he does this in so many ways, but the one i want to draw our attention to is the way he rocked the theocratic fashion world with his wearing of a very manly pinkie ring in a recent wtbts video.. - -.

stephen lett of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses demonstrating how to wear a pinkie ring.

The Bible Teach book illustration about the child having to be put through a painful operation

by defender of truth in

had you going there for a minute ;).

now you're here... there are several problems with that illustration, as i see it.. ..... 1) god is the one who inflicted the life threatening ailment that requires an operation.

(he supposedly decided what sin would be defined as, then once adam 'sinned', he cursed all of adams descendants to sin, grow old and die.).

clarity

Aww Defender of truth.........that was a mind bender

of an explaination!!! .........and a very good one too!

No wonder it took 2 hours to put it on paper. Shows

how convoluted this crap is...the contortions wt goes

thru to write something that seems to make sense...

but upon examination doesn't...is rather amazing!

Those bastards are just laughing at how easy it is

to impress the little rank & file members.

Thanks for doing this unravelling of their foolishness

and deception!
