a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

I would say I was here, but in disguise. But really, I haven't been here. I will always return as I have some JW family left, but really- I have drifted away from drifting away. Been there, done that.

Sounds like you're on your way to being an "Ex Ex-JW" --

Sorry to say I am still letting it (JWism and ex-JWism) be too much of an influence in my life. But as the few JW friends I once still had go more and more incognito on me, I think it will have lesser and lesser influence.

He wears a disguise when liquor shopping.

Bet he wishes he had done that on his past trips to Liquor World.

In the grand scheme of things, he's just not that big of a deal

I think AMIII was one of the most visible of the GB. Ole Rubber Face is probably more recognizable because of his facial mannerisms. Maybe Herd as he is the only black GB. But after those considerations, I think Tony is most memorable. For one thing, he was a better speaker than the others. And you have to admit he made some shocking statements that made him memorable.

So, I think it's amazing there are no reports of him being sighted. There are, after all, PIMO "spies" everywhere! That's something WT cannot fix and it has got to bug the hell out of them! I suspect he is intentionally staying incognito.

What is non abhorrent pornography?

I believe that may require an extensive investigation to determine.

Although I find myself very, very busy these days, I will do my utmost to schedule the time required to do an exhaustive investigation.

i’m an elder who is pima, i’m amazed how much info is available to all elders.

you can see all private details of every member of the congregation.

i wonder how these sisters feel about their private details being available to these creepy elders?.

DesirousOfChange

Does anyone know how long they keep these forms for? I was dfed 15 years ago, would they still have paperwork pertaining to me on file?

It's been over 20 years since I was an elder. Back then JC files for those "reproved" were retained fr 5 years after all privileges were restored. DF files were kept until 5 years after reinstatement (so maybe indefinitely) except anything pertaining to CSA were to be kept indefinitely.

I don't think I ever knew of any Cong Secty that destroyed old files. There were in sealed envelopes in the locked file box in the "elders room".

Perhaps lawsuits and privacy issues have motivated WT to see that things are handled per their rules. CYA is the foremost policy.

Would making info available that had to do with a past JC not be violating that member's right of confidentiality? Remember-- WT argues in court that such JC's are subject to "Clergy-Penitent privilege". If one's "confidential file" is made available to anyone else (are you saying all elders?), would that not constitute a violation of the member's rights?

Could this result in a new barrage of lawsuits?
