Anthony Roberts had stopped attending meetings for three years he continued to have the occasional contact with a couple of JWs. In 1999 an Elder from his congregation decided he wanted Anthony out and arranged for a Shepherding visit with another Elder, this led to a JC.
Anthony Roberts recorded the JCs and transcribed them, they can be found on his blog. I am unaware if Anthony has made the actual recordings available.
The hearings went on for hours and there was very little doctrinal discussion. Anthony took a both a legalistic view to the hearings and argued about many aspects of fairness in the procedure, it makes for fascinating reading.

He also has a Youtube channel which can be accessed through his blog.
He's Scottish and both his wit and humor are great.

Of course, it's right there in parable of the FDS. They've been appointed to feed the domestics and the domestics are required to pay for their meals.

Pedophile on The Governing Body
by new boy inthe bottom line there is zero tolerance for any homosexual activity in jehovah’s holy organization.
so all known gays had been kicked out and disfellowshipped before i got to bethel and gays got kicked and disfellowshipped and disgraced when i was there.
sorry, i guess i meant most homosexuals were kicked out in disgrace.

I think Ray Franz was being very careful in what he wrote so that everything was 100% accurate. If even one thing could be proven wrong then it would bring into question everything he wrote. To this day, I have not seen one thing that he wrote as being proven wrong.

I've been on two very short cruises on the Star Virgo and a couple of years ago, we were lucky enough to travel on the QM II, that was some experience. We travelled for 31 days from Perth, Australia to the UK, travelling around Africa. It was one of the most romantic things we had done.
We made the booking about 4 months before the date of departure as we found a really cheap offer.
We both felt that a two week cruise was probably long enough. An inside cabin is okay but on a longer cruise you're not getting as much fresh air as you would with a balcony cabin.
We got plenty of excercise by taking the stairs and taking walks around the decks. We ate much more than usual without putting on weight but hardly touched anything made with flour and no rice or potatoes. There's too many delicious and healthy choices without filling up on those carbohydrates.
There was a nasty flu going around and just about everyone on the boat caught it at one stage, we had brought some antibiotics with us and a few other medicines, including sea sickness tablets.
I would not recommend it for people who are prone to motion sickness.

The staged photo of Morris the III is funny and shows how distant he is from normal life. A bloke would at least roll his shirt sleeves up and take off his watch and he wouldn't like his photo taken in an apron.

Governing Body Members Autographing Bibles
by HereIgo ini have an online ex jw friend who pointed out to me that she stumbled upon a may 15, 1999 watchtower that had pictures of governing body members autographing bibles for people.
i have no bound volumes or cd rom copies anymore so i can verify.
two things came to mind, if this is true:.

Would we ask them to autograph our books and Bibles?
According to Drearyweather, that would be okay if they were asked to sign a book and give it to them only as a gift. So under certain stipulations it would be okay. -

As a JW I considered Bethal life to be better than Pioneering but back then there was no choice for females.

I was just looking at an appeal case lodged by the Highgate Congregation in Canada regarding a disfellowshipped guy and noticed that they cite cases to support their own case that include other religions. By their own standards they are defending themselves by using false religions.
