this is quite incredible.during his talk, the branch overseer, made a special talk dedicated to the apostates.. he clearly emphasis his point, "apostates used to be between us, really you can talk with apostates, those people are good, of course their point of vue is different than ours now but they are mostly very nice poeple, and you shouldn't be afraid to talk with them.
"though as usual, the reaction of the brothers was quite the same, impassive, i was very surprise by this statement.i cannot assume if this is just a one man step ahead towards the apostates, or really a change in their policies, this came from the mouth of a branch overseer.of course, for obvious reason, i won't give the name of the brother, which is famous, but only here in an central european country.i would have expected him to quote more scriptures, but he didn't, he could have use the one for jesus himself :"you should love your enemies", as apostates were really the "enemies" for the wtbs for such a long time, maybe now that the king of the north is awaken, apostates are not so bad after all ?
just wondering....
Of course, for obvious reason, I won't give the name of the brother...
I've missed a step here. What is the obvious reason you won't give his name? If he gave the talk in public why can't he be named in a public forum for discussion, either pro or con?
here is a post i found.
boy the wife has balls of steel !
you decide.. {they stopped by yesterday to invite my wife to the memorial.. my wife is fully awake thanks to one of my daughters!
I liked the point about how Jehovah could easily have foreseen Satan's rebellion and just eliminated him to spare billions from suffering later.
It was the perfect answer to the made up response of the elders that Jehovah was being 'loving' by killing his own people because they probably were going to be bad in the future. (What the elders said was ridiculous on so many levels.)
john roe 1 vs. defendant doe 1, congregation is a child sexual abuse case pending before the superior court of california, orange county (judge john c. gastelum).
jury trial is scheduled on june 15, 2020, but it may not occur: the judge is expected to decide on multiple pre-trial motions including motion for sanctions filed by plantiffs; next hearing on pre-trial motions is scheduled on may 14.. case docket is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dbqcronnkeax492pshgwpuoubt-xaabz/view?usp=sharing .
case documents are available for purchase here: https://ocapps.occourts.org/civilwebshoppingns/search.do (case number 30-2014-00741722-cu-po-cjc).. during the course of this litigation the court ordered watchtower to produce molestation complaints it received, redacting only names of victims and elders handling the matters.
... allegations that expose Plaintiffs to extreme harassment, humiliation, ridicule, social stigmatization, and physical and emotional distress, and that infringe upon their religious freedoms.
Imagine that, Jehovah's Witnesses are arguing against something that they and the Watchtower organization practice every day when a fellow believer awakens and disagrees with them (with the possible exception of harassment).
this is just a small portion of something i have composed.
hope you enjoy it.
please bear in mind that english is not my first language so if any mistakes please point them out.. also please do not copy and post it anywhere else.
let us drink the Macallan tonight
And babble about new light
I LOVE those lines!
i'm not sure how many in the organization is like this, but there some jws who love seeing others get disfellowshipped, and my father-in-law is one of those.
he became a jw because he loved the idea of being the head of the household, and lording it over his family.
as a jw he is very hypocritical, my husband would tell stories of how they would celebrate christmas until his mother-in-law called him on it.
Why do some JWs love seeing others get disfellowshipped?
Because in a perverted way it makes them feel superior.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe they are the only true religion. They have God's blessing and no one else does. They are doing God's will and no one else is. They will be in the New System and no one else will. Etc, etc.
For some of them the feeling of being superior doesn't stop there and they eventually begin to "cannilbalize" each other in the sense that they take pleasure in another being brought down, even one of their own. Most wouldn't let it show, perhaps even appearing to be heart broken about a disfellowshipping, but the feeling is there.
"So and so is disfellowshipped and I'm faithful."
i never post on here.
i am sanchy's wife.
i posted my coming out story about 3 yrs ago.
Way to go Corruptgirl!
The idea of JWs using extreme care at gatherings re serving alcohol had been going through my mind since the first mentions of it by those defending Tony Morris. You nailed the references that I thought must be there but had no idea where to look for them. Your research is outstanding and your communication skills are excellent.
That was a very enjoyable read on many levels. Thank you!
ralph candelario is a jw.
he murdered his jw wife (his second wife) around january 2014 in walsenburg, colorado.
his first wife disappeared and has never been found but the jury was not permitted to know this.
By my TV schedule it appears that NBC is airing it at 7.30 PM on the West Coast of the USA, 4-6-19 (Pacific Time Zone).
i remember reading this site and wondering how much of ttatt the writer(s) knew.
now i just found these series of you tube videos by the writer.
leaving jehovah's witnesses: "religion is a snare and a racket".
I've watched just 3 min of this video so far, and it is OUTSTANDING in showing the double standards of the Watchtower Organization. Now for the rest.
i was howling watching cedars latest video of tm111 buying a dozen bottles of scotch ((maccallans scotch).
you can't write this stuff.
right, i'm now off to buy a bottle of maccallans 😂..
I'm wondering what kind of backlash there will be about this within Bethel and the Governing Body. Maybe Watchtower will try to spin it, but how can you spin it into something that's ok? Bring attention to it might make it worse. It doesn't matter what you do, this doesn't look good for AM3 or the Organization.

One of the things that really gets me about this is that the Governing Body encourages little kids to give their ice cream money to Jehovah's Organization, while Anthony Morris III uses his money to buy hard liquor. The $850 he spent would have gone a lot farther toward "kingdom interests" than a child's dollar.
Another thing, mentioned previously, is that it's entirely inappropriate for someone that has taken a "vow of poverty" to spend lavishly on alcohol - I don't care where the money came from, even if it was his own.
