Creative Ways To Get DFed For "Brazen Conduct"

by JW_Rogue in

okay, so here's the idea let's try come up with some creative ways to get dfed under the new "brazen conduct" rule.

i'll start:.

continuously schedule get togethers at your house on the same night as the meeting, invite the entire congregation and see who shows up.. go to the memorial and drink the entire glass of wine but don't eat the bread.. regularly go to nude beaches and tell people that's what adam and eve would do.. get a jw.org tattoo on your neck and tell people you count hours anytime somebody sees it.. when a preteen brother or sister gets baptized tell them they are also ready to start driving.

Stay in the C.O.s apartment while he is gone on his personal 2 week paid vacation that they all get,

Sleep in his cushy bed, use his wireless, eat all the donated food in the fridge.

When they come to arrest you for breaking and entering - tell them you built it and you paid for it so you dont see the problem.

for current and former elders.. when sitting on a judicial committee, was a unanimous vote required in order to df?

if the answer to above is "no", what happened when 2 were for df and one wasn't?

what happened when 1 was for df and 2 werent?.

Not only their democracy Vidiot, they are also the weirdest in their nepotism, their exclusivity and their (cough, cough) "theocracy".

Come to think of it, in what line of thought are they not weird?

“We’re very ahead with technology,” says O’Malley, pulling up today’s set scripture on his smartphone. Later, he says: “We’re like Google – we’ve mapped the world.”

Since they were very late in the game to take advantage of already existing technology how can they even think this???

My introduction and confession

by elderINewton in

well another big bad elder here just wanting to say sorry.. i'm sorry that so many were treated like crap, and shown that god's love is not to be found around jehovah's witnesses.

i'm sorry that inadvertently i've likely taught many to judge and as such see that racism permeates every corner of the jw world, else why else would someone be of the world, or even inactive.

i'm sorry i sat in on a jc, and voted to df.

Do what you need to do and keep reading and posting here while you do it.

This place can help you stay sand and realize it is NOT you that has the problem.

Thanks for saying your sorry for things done as an elder. You sound like one of the good guys.

it's been four years (has it really been that long) that i haven't been on jwd.. i was back out west for a long while and i came back to new england.

just got an appartment with another sister and things are looking up.

i'm keeping under the radar and avoiding elder visits--not fully out of the kingdom hall yet.

All quiet on the western front

by campaign of hate in

recently it seems very quiet in jw land.. jw broadcasting has been in full swing for months now, nobody bats an eye lid at that anymore.. so the question is, what is next?

the next organisation change, the next doctrine change.

it seems like this is the quiet before the storm.. the way things are going, it's almost like they try and one up their last change, things in jw land get that bit more crazy every year.. i'm hedging my bets toward a monthly public talk broadcast straight from new york.

Nice picture ToesUp! What is that in Letts hand I wonder?

Reading everyones thoughts has me thinking...

do you suppose the way the Watchtower was conducted on Sunday at the Regional is going to be a new "thing" and they will broadcast it along with a talk once a month or so as the OP mentioned.

I also wonder if they are heading towards their own college. Similar to BYU. Let kids go but control it and of course rake in the $$$

Is The Watchtower Corporation Getting Ready For A Huge International Fire Sale?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

with all this talk about selling existing kingdom halls and robbing the congregations of savings accounts.

massive relocation of headquarters selling over a billion in prime real estate, gobbling up property and getting all the free labor they can from the rank and file slaves to fix up these properties and donate more and more money to cover the cost.. it looks like they are in the process of some type cannibalization of its self in an effort of self preservation.. are we on the cusps of a giant fire sale as the lawsuits pile up and build pressure i suspect things will get far worse leaving many congregations kingdom halless and traveling greater distances just to make a meeting every once and a while when they have enough gas money.. with a royal charities commission inquiry into inappropriate conduct of the wt corporation and loss of charity status and the eventual loss of such operational status in one country after another things are looking very bleak for this end of the world jehovah scam cult with it 1914,1975,2000, expiration dates long past..

Brokeback Watchtower

I SO hope you are right!

I would love to see them scared and running. It would be a good case of karma happening swiftly.

I just worry that they have resources we dont even know about, which how could we since they keep us all in the dark about pretty much everything!

I think this even more after reading OrphanCrows thread which started out being about blood but following the money trail - wow - theres some big money there behind the scenes...

Then there was the thread about Haniph Latchman and the fiber optic technology he sold them for ten dollars was it? But what they plan to do with that up in the New York country side is stupendous to consider.

So I really dont know but I would love nothing better for them to fail and fall flat on their arrogant collective face.

Sadly, I think they have a lot of resources left to them.

I do think they have been caught off guard a bit by the internet exposing them so much. The resultant drop in active involved members is part that and part the general religious apathy of people.

They probably always thought people would just come because after all, they are "OF GOD" but no, people arent - what a shock to them.

So they know two things

1) They got the money they have through long ago real estate choices in Brooklyn

2) Print is out IT and social media is in

So their knee jerk running behind response to that is huge screens at conventions and a full on design team and building work.

Its like DOC said - reactive

But theyve got lots and lots of resources in money and believers at this point.

I personally hope the pedophile cases keep coming because that drains them of dollars and people at the same time.
