  Can you remember your YPA study?

  i was known as the "who cares say it like it is" person in my family.. one saturday after noon elder goodshoes and his wife came to my family home, i was all of twelve years old and the topic for the study was masturbation.. sister goodshoes thought she would do her usual questioning after my study and said "so what was your study about today young man" thinking i would be put off and straight to her face i said "about having a good old wank".. the look on her face was priceless and the one on my mothers was hilarious as she just bust out laughing!!!!.

  she never once again asked me about anything to do with my study.

  hey i was being honest!.

  The Visit

  tonight i got a visit by two elders i had contacted re my status in the congregation.. .

  i explained that i was disfellowhsipped in absentia and that i wondered if since i was assumed to be guilty by not being there based on mis-information and an apology for assuming i was guilty did it mean that my disfellowshipping was null and void?.

  (see my post why i was disfellowshipped).

  Question regarding baptism after disfellowshipping etc.

  by truthseeker1969 in

  since the society believes that you are no longer a witness and that you can not carry your blood card or identity card, shouldn't your baptism be annulled automatically since you are not one of them.. since your baptism vows recognise you as "one of jehovahs witnesses' then when leaving it is voided and baptism would be needed again.. i assume they would deny this since it is yet another way of controlling you from coming back a free agent and starting again.. .

  For Elders In the United Kingdom

  i am still interested in the extent the ibsa has gone regarding the data protection act.. from what i hear they were busted in sending information about one person with no written consent and it is causing panic.. they now claim they know nothing about anyone in the congregations and nothing is held on them whatsoever.. common place is to keep info on dfd and da'd and then to claim they destroyed the information once a subject access enquiry is made.. any new info would help me as i am compiling a list of violations on this from presentation to the ico who will investigate even phone calls made and if at anytime information was looked into without proper consent.. .

  cheers.

  Why I was disfellowshipped

  by truthseeker1969 in

  2. experiences

  in 1996 i was approached by elders asking me if i had at any time been inside a "gay bar' in the city center to which i replied "yes" since i had, i was renovating it on behalf of the brewery that owned it.. i advised them smugly that i go there daily and that i did not see a problem with it.

  it was well known in town that it was closed for renovations and that no one other than contractors were in there.. i was told that there had to be a judicial meeting and was invited to attend which i did not and was given a note through my letter box stating that "the decision has been made to disfellowship you".

  i kindly sent a letter telling them that the bar in question is not a "gay bar' since the bar is inanimate and therefor had no sexual orientation and that the bar was not a bar since it was gutted and therefor had no bar for it to be called a bar.. i further told them that the extent of my work was on behalf of the brewery who sublet the building to the landlord.. my work was to provide detailed interior redesign and nothing more.. therefor the judicial committee was formed in error based on assumption with no foundation and null and void.. oops, sorry please dont mention this to anyone was the reply, too late.. .

  Funniest Thing to happen during a meeting?

  by truthseeker1969 in

  1. watchtower

  i am sure all of us have laughed at something that happened at the kingdom hall or assembly.. the first one i can think of is a brother giving a talk on voting and saying " why is it that men sit iin pubs and discuss how bad the economy is and the cost of everything and yet when the 'erection" (election) comes up they never do anything about it.. my brother in his best beavis n butthead voioce said " huh huh he said erection".

  we sat for the next 45 mins trying hard not to laugh.. of course, i got the look from the elders and the talk about not laughing.. .

  GB becoming more angry!

  by truthseeker1969 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  flipping through the wt and other artices it strikes me how angry the governing body is becoming and how they are using insulting words to describe anyone who "rocks the boat".. words such as diseased and vindictive are common place now and so petty.. it seems to me that these men may be allowing personal feelings to overcome their spiritual role that they are supposed to live by.. i have been out of the truth for 17 years and it is clear to me that they have lost the plot.. look at the generation flip flop.

  why not just say, "brothers, we have no clue and therfore no clue about anything that has been taught".

  assuming the role of jesus on earth is something no one should do as one look at corinthians clearly states that "gifts of prophesying would be done away with" in other words god said i will tell you not you me.. anyone else feel that the gb is angry?.

  Why is the Society in England so scared of The Data Protection Act.

  by truthseeker1969 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the ibsa seems terrifed of this law and all that relates to it.. i have heard that if a subject access request is sent they have a "poop" moment and do all they can to destroy anything.. maybe blondie can shed some light on this as i have heard that they destroyed everything and that when asked they will use every tactic to hide what they can and even tell elders to ignore requests.. i am not sure what they most recent directive is on this in the uk but it seems they are terrified of being caught on this.. .
