`i can imprison you,' judge tells church man.
a jehovah's witness elder has been told he could go to jail for not giving evidence against a former member of his church facing rape and sexual assault charges.
It may be that Fred is unable to comprehend the seriousness of the allegations being made against the Watchtower Society.
It could be due to a mental disorder that Fred is suffering from - an inherent defect that he will never be cured of, maybe even medication and the odd ECT treatment doesn't touch.
Or it could be that he is so brainwashed by the WTB&TS that if they started telling him that the sky is now brown - he would believe it. You wouldn't be able to persuade him otherwise.

on sunday, august 11, at 5pm.
7-15-02. mrs. barbara j. anderson.
meeting has been set for 3 pm sunday at the following address; ramada inn, 2314 hillsboro blvd, manchester, tn .
Bill:
Does the management of the Ramada hotel have written confirmation of the booking, can they confirm that it was Jehovah's Witness elders who booked the room?
If so it might be worth passing to the Governing Body to complain about their behaviour? Or better still get the Ramada Hotel to complain.
Causing more problems within the organisation will help i think - divide and conquer and all that!

I married a JW at age 18, we separated 6 years later (2001), divorce proceedings are now being sorted!!
Although technically I am not yet divorced, I am legally separated, so I feel free and 100 times less stressed than I used too - and this is despite the fact that I am now a single mum with a 4 year old and full-time job!!! Amazing huh!
So anyone out there interested? You must be caring, intelligent, have a sense of humour, love children, and be willing to live on the south coast of the UK!
Don't be scared now!

me and my pioneer partner used to play a game while going door to door (we were obviously bored).
in our rural territory, we had a lot of time between doors to make things up, so various games evolved.
just about the naughtiest was to give your partner a word which they had to use at all costs in their presentation.. this started out as 'kingdom' and 'jesus' but soon became 'tractor', 'dog' and then even 'honda 250' and so on.
If it was obvious that no-one was in, we used to stand at the door for ages, talking about anything but the ministry.
I actually watched some witnesses do the same thing a couple of weeks go in my road!! How I laughed!!!
I used to HATE anyone asking any questions - I was ok if they just took the magazines, but to EXPLAIN anything was just too much!!
The ironic thing is that NOW I think I have a far better knowledge of the religion and could "hypothetically" put myself in "dub mode" and give the "approved" response to a householder.
Although my CONSCIENCE wouldn't let me do it now.

well, it seems from the responses to the weekend poll that being a regular meeting attender was not a protection from apostasy!!
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=33757&site=3
strange that the wts should always 'encourage' regular meeting attendance for protection.
I agree - attending meetings regularly ensures that you listen to ALL the info coming from the platform and read ALL the info in the magazines etc.
Only by doing that will you actually KNOW what the religion is about. People who only ever attend the odd meeting will never understand the lies/hypocrisy, because they haven't been in the kingdom hall enough to hear them/read them.
For example: I was asked for advice at work about a witness who was refusing to give blood for a routine blood test because he was a witness. My reputation as a vociferous exJW gets around, so i am asked, before they start pinning down the patient to take blood, whether this is actually so. I tell them that Witnesses (currently!) are not allowed to donate blood, receive transfusions of whole blood or the primary components, and autologous blood transfusions. However they can receive transfusions/preparations of the fractions of blood from the primary components, and can give blood for blood tests. Problem solved - patient dealt with appropriately.
I mention this as a generic incident to my ex (who is a JW) - and he tells me that what i said was rubbish, witnesses are allowed to donate blood for storage and then later to be retransfused (autologous transfusion). WHAT!! Doesn't he know what he is supposed to believe?
Simple answer = NO!
Die-cast witnesses are prepared to die for the religion, but are unable to live for and understand it!

do jw's bother to recycle?.
are they remotely interested in green issues so as to protect our planet from pollution?.
if they answer is "yes", does this indicate a lack of faith?.
I was a JW, now I am an apostate - and i recycle
My ex is still a JW - and doesn't recycle
If that will help your statistics at all Englishman
