I told my (unbaptized) son and he had no reaction...it was like he wasn't hearing it. I guess like most JWs all negative news against the WT are lies made up by apostates...reported by media controlled by Satan...

How does a congregation handle being found guilty in a lawsuit?
by OnTheWayOut inas in the current oakland, california case, since the congregation must vote on expenditures and pay on such rulings, is there any announcement concerning the specific case and rulings?
are the elders removed to make it look like it was their blunder.
any real info along with wild speculations would be welcome..

How can one continue as an elder after having kept quiet while a sexual predator was roaming freely in his congregation...Of course he will get the WTS support for being a company man...but how can you look at anyone in the eye and not feel shame. It would be like knowing that your best friend brings his children to a daycare centre run by a pedophile...but you don't say anything in fear that the pedophile may sue you for lost business...Then after his kids have been molested, your friend finds out you knew all along but kept quiet...wtf

Elders Can Hide their Own Sins from the Past-Yet Continue as Elders? Read
by flipper ini was shocked ( though i probably shouldn't have been ) when reading the new elders manual concerning whether elders have to confess up about former sins from a few years earlier.
notice this on pg.
38 , paragraph 19 : it states, " if it comes to light or an appointed brother confesses that he has committed a disfellowshipping offense years in the past : the body of elders may determine he can continue to serve if the following is true : the immorality or other serious wrongdoing occured more than a few years ago, and he is genuinely repentant, recognizing that he should have come forward immediately when he sinned.

Isn't the Organized book only given to those who are dedicated or close to dedication? If I remember well this book contains the 100 questions you need to review before baptism...You get your own printed copy and there is a space to write your name and date of dedication...This may explain why this book isn't on the CD...

If the WTS takes action against those who spread false statements against them, why then aren't they exposing the "lies" spread by the mentally diseased apostates?

During my most active period as a JW I lost my dad and 5 of my closest friends within a 5 year period. The company I worked for close our division and lost a 6-figure job after over 25 years of service...The comfort I got from the congregation was "suck it up" and keep busy in service so you won't have time to feel sorry for yourself...don't you believe in the resurection? Everyday morning on my way to a new job that Jehovah blessed me with I was hoping to get killed in a car accident so I wouldn't have to live another day in pain...where was the big Armagedon when you need it? Then when I was told that the generation was really generationsssss, I left the cult. My life is far from being perfect, but the freedom has made every new day worth living. There is no situation that would ever make me want to go back under the control of such a cult.

South Australian Judge Saves Life of Young Girl By Ordering Blood Transfusion
by cedars inthis story has been brought to my attention, and i thought i would share it with you all.. a very poorly young jehovah's witness girl in south australia has been ordered to have a blood transfusion.
the court heard that the girl, who suffers from leukaemia, would die "within weeks" if she were deprived of the life-saving treatment.. the parents appear to have put up a tacit fight for their rights to be respected, but their solicitor made some telling remarks when he said:.
"it's not like they are acting with callous disregard for her wellbeing or her future,".

The conversation would go that way:
Dad: We loved you so much that we did all we could for you not to have a blood transfusion, leaving you in the care of Jehovah...
Daughter: But dad, what were my chances of survival if I didn't receive the blood?
Dad: The doctors said that you would die within a few weeks, but they don't count on Jehovah's help...
Daughter: What your are telling me is that we wouldn't be having this conversation if the authorities didn't intervene?
Dad: But we would have been reunited in resurection!
.....a few months later....
Daughter: I no longer believe in the WT...
Dad: We will shun you because we love you...and we want you back....

My understanding is that it went from a disfellowshipping offense to a disassociation...
