I can't believe this
by truthseeker1969 inyou all know i was in the uk settling estate issues and that the elders 'wanted to chat with me".. well i left before they could have the meeting i arranged on my "free day".. they turned up at my mothers home and were livid that i had gone, but here is the kicker.. brother heavenly described me as a potential apostate for what i had done, which sent my brother over the edge and he demanded a retraction and apology which they quickly gave him.
he intends to speak with the co when he comes on the matter.. it gets better, elder ballbag actually said "apostates do more good for the congregation than they think.
they pull those who should not be part of the org and clean the congregation" .

i have told my brother to leave it but they have learned a lesson that 'warfare'works both ways.
scenic, you are sooooo right, they will slant anything to make it look like no matter what they are right. i think when you get to the point of name calling and labelling then you truly have a worldy hatred, not a God given one.
they asked my Mother who seems to be their target if she knew where i lived and she said "no" which is true as we skype and email and my physical address is not one she knows. I really no longer care but hope that this puts an end to things.

you all know I was in the Uk settling estate issues and that the elders 'wanted to chat with me".
Well I left before they could have the meeting I arranged on my "free day".
They turned up at my Mothers home and were livid that I had gone, but here is the kicker.
Brother Heavenly described me as a potential apostate for what I had done, which sent my brother over the edge and he demanded a retraction and apology which they quickly gave him. He intends to speak with the CO when he comes on the matter.
It gets better, Elder BallBag actually said "apostates do more good for the congregation than they think. They pull those who should not be part of the Org and clean the congregation"
Anyway, they said that I have to decide if I am part of the congregation or not, funny thing to say since you kicked me out then had to let me back in.
Do they actually know what they are doing, or do you think they are being beaten and threatened with df if they dont do as they are told? (the elders that is)
Elder Heavenly pulled my brother aside and told him he misspoke and shoud not have said what he said, but too late he fully intends to speak to the CO in FEB who is a friend of his and have them dealt with.

How to punish the WT over the WWC act situation
by Aussie Oz intalking about this case the other day, she came up with the thought that would it not be good if they are found guilty that a public apology for disobeying the law etc had to be printed in the public edition of the watchtower magazine.. now that would be better even that a massive fine i reckon!.
oz.

Do you ever "out" yourself?
by exjehovah inin the 22 years since i have left the jw religion, i have come across some precarious situations that i wanted to share and hear how other people handle it.
for the record i forced the hand of the jw and they df'd me.
i didn't care and i still don't, except for the family thing.

I have been out 18 years and have met one witness who worked next to me. I simply told her i no longer believed and left it at that. She did not ask why and I did not feel compelled to open a conversation to explain.

Do you recall any disputes during the development of the New Song Book?
by Quarterback ini seem to recall someone mentioning to me that george benson assisted with some of the work on the new song book.. then he left the assignment after an argument with the team.
is there any thing that anyone remembers about that one?.

All I know from family is that most of the older witnesses who remember the original old songs still in the book sing the old words as they detest the utter disaster of the new one. I have a copy of it and it seems they wanted to get really sentimental or just make a mockery of the songs.
I remember years ago a brother saying the brown song book wasnt quite up to par thinking they were not good enough, this one makes the rank and file wonder what is going on. As one in brother put it, "if we didn't think Jehovah has removed his spirit from the GB nothing can leave a doubt now"
