back drop::.
paducah sun 1-28-01. mario moreno, associate general counsel at the church's new york headquarters,.. j.r. brown, public affairs director for the church,.
both brown and moreno said that the elders, who volunteer and are essentially untrained clergy.
It is generally understood that when a brother "qualifies" to become an elder (ie take the book study and give a public talk from a prearranged outline) - it seems to instantly qualify him to become proficient in the following skills:
- Social Worker
- Psychiatrist
- Psychologist
- Policeman
- Family Counsellor
- Court Diversion Officer
It is frightening considering that what these brothers actually CAN do is clean windows/ paint and decorate / fix cars.
These elders suffer from delusions of grandeur imposed upon them by the policies of the Governing Body!

at this point in my life i feel very confident that leaving the jws was the best thing for me.
however, 25 years of brainwashing goes a long way.
(for arguments sake) if religion collapsed today, would you feel you made a mistake in leaving the wbts?
Throw one hell of a party - cos "religion is a snare and a racket"

i'm new to this site, found it whilst looking at panarama web site.
are there many here from uk, even lancashire?
if so, please let me know as it would be nice to speak to some ex-witnesses in uk.
Hi everyone!
I am another exJW in the southeast of the UK (like Anglise!)
Any more of us down in the warmer climate of the south coast?

Hi,
I would be interested in going - but I live in the southeast of UK, quite a distance from the rest of you!!
Keep me posted though!!

the topic of this thread is mostly directed towards jehovah's witnesses who still have some ability to think.
this topic is important to those jws who may have some doubts about their religion, no matter how small they might be.. i'm going to make perhaps, a rather startling assertion and instead of presenting all of my arguments for it, will invite others to contribute their own arguments.
if a person was to ask a number of jehovah's witnesses what was the single most important part of their religion, a variety of answers would be given, and without question, all of them would be wrong.. to put it another way, if one had the power to take away just one thing from the watchtower religion that would render it impotent and foundering like a beached whale, what would that one thing be?.
So is there any way of using this information?
Go round the assembly halls at lunchtimes and nick all their bags and briefcases, or just empty them of litter - ature!!!
Then have a celebration bonfire at the next apostafest!! Excellent!
I know that when I was a JW I wouldn't have been able to explain anything without the WT literature - would have been totally lost and confused - I bet that goes for 90% of the witnesses.

yep......it was announced at the hall.
i got told by someone who still goes.
i had not attended for 2yrs but i thought they might have informed me!
I stopped going to meetings 18 months ago - since then i have:
1) Involved local JW relatives in a court case about the religion and won
2) Proclaimed to all and sundry about the wicked ways of the Society.
3) Been loudly and publicly celebrating xmas and birthdays.
4) Been socialising with disfellowshipped friends.
5) Talking on this board of apostates!!!
And they still haven't disfellowshipped me! Why? i could start getting a complex about this!!!

leigh park congregation of jehovahs witnesses.
little park avenue,.
havant.
A thankyou card would be wonderful!
The elders are so used to people being mentally broken up because they have been cut off from the Kingdom Hall and the loving congregation.
A thankyou card would prove that you don't give a damn! The pictures would just add to it. Maybe you could send a card and photos to ALL elders in your congregation, then it gives them something to talk about in their elder's meetings - other than gossiping about the brothers and sisters, it would give them a break for once!
I haven't had a letter from the elders yet (after 18 months)!! I am feeling quite left out! Don't they love me anymore! Sob sob!! (lol)
