The situation that arose in Australia is a perfect example of why the WT recently spun off into a million pieces... from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses on Fiji Island to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylnavia...
they simply want to keep the government authorities guessing which targets need to be struck 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.. if/when the sh*t hits the fan...
theocratic warfare...

Rick Fearon should apologise for accusing faders of being cowards
by cedars ini hate doing this type of thread.
none of us are perfect, least of all myself, and i would rather focus any criticism on the watch tower society for damaging people's lives.
however, in the short period since i've been a member of this forum i've noticed one member in particular deteriorate in his behaviour into the type of individual who threatens to undermine the credibility of the entire website.

My thoughts on this years Special assembly day
by stillstuckcruz inopening comments: so this past weekend was out special assembly, so obviously supplied by jehovah.
we also had the "privelege" of having a gb representative at our assembly hall.
3/4 were young and my guess would be that those were born-ins.

I don't like "taking the lead"
by I Want to Believe insome men probably got off on the power/ego trip being a male jw gets you, but i never cared for it.
i'm an introvert, and was an especially awkward one at that haveing been reaised in social isolation, so it was about the strangest feeling in the world when as a newly-baptized teenager (back in the day) i started to pioneer.
i was about as green as you could get in every way but i was told i had to take the lead in the service meetings and the car group.

I walked out of a meeting about 20 years ago when the CO started carriying on about baptized JWs marrying unbaptized publishers... I mean this guy kept it going for a good 5 minutes at least and he was obviously referring to me at the time (as no one else in the congo was in the same situation)... it was completely disrespectful and unecessary since I had already been privately "counselled". (I was the baptized JW and my wife got baptized many years later)...
But after 22 years of marriage, my wife and I are both out of the borg and still happily married (which is more than I can say of some JWs I know)...

Most Overblown Examples Used at Assemblies
by What Now? inat a recent assembly, there was a talk highlighting the dangers of higher education.
the brother used an example of a young girl who went to university, began going to bars, and ended up getting drugged and gang raped - as if this happens to every young jw who chooses to get higher education.. .
what ridiculous examples have you heard used at meetings or assemblies?.

In my district, every three years or so, they would recycle the example of a paraplegic sister who couldn't go out in field service but would instead dial the phone with her tongue and give book studies over the phone... this was usually during "needs of the circuit" talk or a "do-more" talk...
I always thought... "If she's paraplegic, how the hell can she position herself over the phone and dial a number?" I always thought this was complete BS intended to make everyone feel guilty for not reporting more hours...

Most Jehovah's Witnesses dont want ex-JWs, dis-fellowshipped, disassociated to be successful!!!

I think some JWs just want to be re-assured that they're not wasting their time going to meetings and field circus... so seeing some ex-JWs fall on hard times gives them some assurance that they are quite possibly in "the truth"... if they see ex-JWs become successful, they tend to explain it away as something that Satan did to make the ex-JW feel good about being a part of the world... it's really pathetic...
