Steve,
The divorce info simply gives specific location information and leads to a much darker record that may explain some WTBTS policies according to a couple of unrelated sources (that need to be verified).
members of the governing body are "public figures", so i used a full name.
i am doing a research project.
did anyone know him or his first wife?.
Steve,

i don't think i could handle a fade.
sooner or later the truth would be found out.
i have yet to come out, but when i do, i'll probably da myself without telling anyone why.
Some of the dynamic might be what OTHERS say to your step-dad to make HIM uncomfortable. Switching to another hall might help (Work schedule, School schedule, time for me to grow up! girls, friends - whatever.??), when you get to the new hall just tell the P.O. you have a heavy load with School and work and it is Impacting my personal study...so would you mind holding off re-appointing me for now? Take trips out of town- to "Conventions"...
This will save face for your step-dad. Get you out of being re-appointed. Keep people from noticing you. Start sitting near the back, arrive a bit late, leave a bit early at times so you are out of the "lime light". Turn in under 6 hrs of Field service. Answer less frequently. Do it slowly.
well this afternoon as i sit here i am calm but my heart is literally aching.
i am sitting here with my young daughter on my shoulder.
i guess you could say i spilled the beans to my wife this afternoon.
Bring her flowers and remind her YOUR LOVE is unconditional.
Take her away for the weekend. She is having a melt. Use the bible and only JW publications if any of this comes up again...and only ask questions...and only if asked.
WTBT$ does not play fair...neither should you.
a friend of mine got this info to me and states that this info is in fact on the grandson of guy pierce, gb member aka the jw college of cardinals.
this person didnt really go into detail but did say that the family are all jw's and this is the son of one of his stepsons, i didnt even realize he had stepchildren.
most of the charges are for drug possesion, traffic violations, one for assault???
Mulan- I sent you a PM. What County did they get married in?
no doubt everyone has been following the juan viejo postings regarding the watchtower kingdom hall "grab" on jwn for the last couple of years.
called the mrs and me to say "wow- you have to google this" we did...came here to jwn ...became members..and the rest is history.. in the last nine months i have been calling and emailing contacts in the silicon valley for verification on the societies theft and forced sale of the menlo park kingdom hall (near the new facebook heaquarters) because the story seemed...a little far fetched.
every reliable contact i made has confirmed what juan reported.
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.Blaise Pascal
i have contact some old friends from my past to see what they are up too now.
two of the ones that are in asked me if i would ever go back to the kh....so i tell them the time when my hubby and i tried to go back about 9 years ago while we were in the kh the tires to our corvette were slashed ( $350.00 a tire) then they stop talking to me after i tell them that.
i never said that i thought the jw's did it, i just said that this is what happened.
I remember a Pedofile victim who was DISFELLOWSHIPPED fire bombing the Elders homes. I have heard of a number of outraged victims of JC comitees targeting nice cars at the hall.
what are the "local needs"?
they are addressed to the congregation right?
i am still in, and attended the meeting during the week.
They may have found out about the Conti case ELDERS being LIABLE $$ and there has been a Pedo in your hall for YEARS.
the last thread on this was like 8 yrs ago.
thought it could be updated.
cars, trucks, or motorcycles.
Favorite car? My first car. A crappy 65 Bel Air..but for a 16 year old it was a magic carpet. Freedom from an abusive alcoholic JW parent. Instant popularity in high school. Friends. A Job. Camping trips. The Beach. Disneyland. It required I buy oil by the gallon, AND carry extra water, and a tool kit...but it was magic for a teenager.
I have had Jeeps, SUVs, Lincolns, and Lexuses since....but THAT was my favorite car..old Betsy.
jw always speak of the innocent mate is free to remarry.
how about this...jw man divorces his jw wife after a very very short period of time... (.wife is bummed ).. before his marriage to her.he had never been married and does not plan.
to ever marry again .
WTBTS goes back and forth on this. The latest is whatever was taught at the latest elders school this summer. Since most Elders doze off during the boring ass parts, I would check on Atlantis's PDF letters to Elders from Beth Hell during the last couple of years.
The last sticky case I was consulted was over 8 years ago. The service desk wanted to know "Who was the moving party (Plaintiff) on the Divorce papers". And who had sex first. At the time they were trying to prevent married persons from PLANNING divorce and PLANNING to have the "innocent" mate commit adultry, or deciding to simply PLAN to remarry and only "get privately reproved".
One factor that has changed is the "forgiveness" issue. Sex. Before, during and after divorce. Some people can, (or at least pretend to) go without it for many years. Some have unknowingly had "make-up sex" after a confession of adultry...then change their mind.
Going back over 20 years worth of letters positions on this subject I noticed Pharasaical law...Holy Spirit"... had swung back and forth. The whole judicial commitee thing smacks of the Pharasees.
Ask your friend....Why allow such a confused group power over your entire life and future?
rather puzzled...*.

How many JWs died for refusing blood fractions in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s ? Snake bite serums? Other derived products? Hepititus?
