  Fellow exElders: did you ever get to hear of ...

  by no-zombie in

  when i was serving as an elder, it because relatively common to hear of wild drunken house parties of witness youths.

  i investigated one, it was so bad that the cops turned up and found empty bottles of whiskey on the lawn and smashed out on the road.

  but every led went cold, with all the kids clamming up.

  PIMI wife told to go against her husband and take the vaccines?

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if a pimi sister has been told by her unbelieving husband not to take these experimental vaccines then what is official jw policy in this situation?.

  should she go against her husband and tell him i will do what the men at my church tell me?.

  what on earth will the husband think then?

  are we living in the prophetic last days that will climax into armageddon?

  if this is true then how long should it take?

  as jw saw it, wt compared timing to within a generation using 70 ad as a parallel.

  No more judicial committee if maybe suicidal

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the new direction in the new elders book is very clear.

  absolutely no jd if there is a suspicion of suicidal thoughts.. this is obviously due to the high number of suicidal attempts after the announcement that someone is no longer a jw and the shunning that accompanied it.. so what will happen now going forward if situations arise where there would formerly have been a jd and they say there is suicidal thoughts?.

  i can’t see it working, but elders stick rigidly to what it says in the book.

  it all sounds like a legal cop out for the watchtower. ~ Stan

  I agree. I really think WT has mixed feelings now on DF/Shunning. They SO want to stop the apostate information by silencing dissenters, BUT DF/Shunning is causing them legal issues all around the globe and even putting their religion & tax exempt status at risk in some places.

  With the No JD policy they can just verbally circulate that so-and-so is no longer a JW which leaves nothing in print and nothing publicly stated. But the result will be mostly the same. Sheeple will follow and continue to drink their KoolAid.

  More than 17 years of service to the XJW community!

  by Nathan Natas in

  2. friends

  i want to take a moment to salute rick fearon, an "apostate" near boston massachusetts usa who more than 17 years ago started the sixscreens telenetwork on youtube.

  you can find it here: https://www (dot) youtube (dot) com/ (at) araretreat/streams.. like our benevolent host simon green here at jehovahs-witness.com, rick has not done his great work for his own financial enrichment or to collect followers for himself, as some xjw grifters have done and continue to do.. saturdays and sundays are the busy days at six screens, with call-in programs like:.

  This is a fuggin' joke, right? You can't be serious? Rick FEAR-on is the stereotypical raving ex-JW Apostate LOON that WT HQ has been warning about for decades!

  I was hoping Rick had moderated the "crazy" out of his presentations. Guess not.

  I was that guy, when they told me that I was going to be deleted as an elder, I'd say ... "you know what, thanks."

  THE BRAIN DRAIN

  There must be a lot of issues like this for WT to justify production of this video. And, I'd say they have lost many of their "best" elders (ie, "smartest" elders who made decisions such as seeking out higher education for their children) or else there would not be the need to provide videos for most of the meeting content today. Most Congs just do not have competent elders.

  Yes, "THANKS!" is the correct response!

  A video that lasts 1:56:03 and it's only Part 1? I'm sure I can spend whatever time I have left in more worthwhile pursuits.

  The new LE? Likes to hear himself speak.
