i think that the big issue here is the double standard based on the location of the family members - if they are 'immediate' meaning they live at home in the same dwelling under the same roof then it's ok but if you are like me and living on your own, your family will absolutely avoid contact with you as that is the real jw policy..the old canada court trial and recent swedish news are totally out of context and the jw attorneys are complete tools and filthy liars....
Anyone recall the Awake! magazine that showed a crying couple on the front page at that as they had their offspring going out the front door. It was all about shunning.
The two wt goons at the CARC got a toasting over shunning and twisted words meanings.
think of how much time and money the tower stole from any who were in the cult.
think of the vacations as a child you could have taken with your families the memories you could have made instead of sitting in a hot bs week of echo talks and propaganda.
they stole so much from us.
sour grapes.
I was to apply for a maintenance job at a resort (accommodation supplied) and the elder I mentioned it too said i would miss the brothers so much if I went. I was never one to need to have brothers round me and I didnt apply as another job came up.
Years on and my son had a chance with accommodation to learn a high grade of avionics in the UK but he was persuaded by an elder not to on the basis of "what ifs...".
He spent some time in low level employment and finally through worldly friends found a half decent position.But his dream of the avionics is gone.
I have said it before I rue the day I ever walked into a kh.

If the US ever wakes up to the wt I hope to see on the news where the government raids the wt headquarters and kicks the gb out and some worthwhile agency moves in such as veterans rehab.

The dumping of the Kurds recently by Trump has thinking Australians concerned; is this our fate too if the powers will it.
and re EG Whitlams sacking by the Gov General John Kerr 1975.... (!) meant an arrogant Malcolm Fraser (Liberal party) became PM when a parochial Australian electorate dumped the Whitlam government in a rushed election over various scandals chiefly from memory was the debt the Whitlam govt had run up.
(creating medicare, build hospitals, highways, revolutionize schools funding give traditional lands back to Indigenous peoples, funding most essential things the things the liberals in years of non govt did f*** all about.)
Australia had a very poor school retention rate on par with the poorest countries in the world but the Liberals being the wealthy side of society cared not as their offspring were put through private schools and universities. Whitlam also wiped university fees so the brightest could go to university no matter their background or social level. This outraged the Liberals.
It was later revealed that the Fraser govt had run up more in its first six months than Whitlam had run up in his six years.
Whitlam invoked the wrath of the US when he asked that the Americans sit with the Communist Vietnamese for peace talks over the Vietnam war and from memory I have the impression to do so as equals. Being so considered outraged the American Govt.

i saw this mentioned on reddit but no link - i found the article form this weeks bible study..... in the “congregation bible study” part of the meeting this week there was a part that said and i quote: “only jehovah god and his son can receive someone into the heavenly kingdom or the paradise on earth under that kingdom.
we should diligently cultivate friendship with them by using what material riches we have in supporting kingdom interests”.
.
For years the wt has hammered higher education so for years the many have only gravitated to s*** jobs with menial pay this must correspond therefore to a diminished funding base.

i read this recently in a stoics daily guide.. "the best way to avenge yourself is not be like that.
" written by marcus aurelius..

in my experience, there were three types of witnesses.
some were barely witnesses while others were extremely conservative types who followed the letter of the law.
and then you had those in the middle who just went with the flow.. i knew many witnesses who “felt safe” being in a stricter environment.they were actually proud that they belonged to such and such congregation because it was filled with strict bethelites..
"The buildings always smelled of pee" Punkofnice..
In the various kh I have entered there is one thing to be noticed its the obsession about opening windows; they never do. This is particularly bad where two or more congs share a kh.
