I was actually leaving my relative a percentage of my insurance policy and some of my assets. It is of course more important to me to leave my only adult child an inheritance but I was trying to 'look out' for my closest sibling by leaving them something as well. Well, since they have abandoned our relationship for the JW's, then I have no choice but to exclude them from my will.

Changed my Last Will and Testament
by time2keepmoving ini had to change my will and insurance policy and remove my relative who is still a witnesses as a beneficiary of my life insurance policy and exclude them from receiving any of my assets.
i hated to do it but i did not want them giving any of my money to the wts if i pass away.
i know if i left them anything they would look at it as a 'blessing from jehovah' and would definitely take any monies i left them and put some of it in the contribution box.

I didn't want to do it put because they are so wrapped in the cult, I had to make sure none of my hard earned money or assets would end up in the hands of society in anyway.

So unfortunately I have to remove them from getting anything and leave 100% of my money and assets to my child.

WTBTS do no wrong in the eyes of believers?
by Momma-Tossed-Me inthe wtbts has enjoyed a well insulated capsule of people for a long time.
the amount of adherents that left was minimal because of the thick wall of fear.
they are riding on a sharp edge that with one great movement one way or the other could ruptre and cause great hemmoraghing.

I don't know how they can keep producing paper magazines, when the world is going more and more digital and many organizations are promoting a 'green' lifestyle of less paper. Who wants these magazine piling up in their home? Many newspapers and magazine outfits are struggling because people (especially young people) want their news and information in real-time at the tip of their fingertips. I think their printing days are numbered; they are as relevant as the library. If it's a losing battle to keep printing the way they do (at least in the U.S.) how will they keep their members distracted from what's really going down in the bOrg?

It's crazy what's happening to these brothers. Clearly, they gave this organization trust they never earned or deserved.
I wonder to myself if they did not hear through the grapevine about this kind of thing (amending their non-profit article of corporation to have their property surrendered to the Watchtower Society) happening to other congregations before it hit their doors? Too trusting and now the property has been strong-armed out of their possession and the poor brothers have been runover and villainized by The Machine.
This is so blatantly wicked I can't see how the witnesses in that congregation could continue to go to that KH knowing damn well what went down, break out their song books and keep singing and acting like they can't wait for everything to blow over. Talk about straight up brain-dead zombies!
What is even more puzzling to me is that the brothers in this action, have yet to retain an attorney, request monetary damages or speak out very publicly about this matter to bring attention to sheer greed, bullying, lies, thievery and deceit of the WT&TS.

JW Elder still in music business - despite telling congregation he wasn't
by uk_ex_jw ini've known this elder for years.
when i was in the borg he told me how he was in the music business before he became a jw.. he made a point of telling me how ruthless it was and how he had been ripped off for thousands of pounds.. he did many talks from the platform over how as a young man he was involved in a typical 'drugs, rock and roll' lifestyle and how becoming a jw changed his life.. there was a young guy in the congregation who was particulary interested in music.
this elder counselled him that it was ok to do it i.e.

Gossip, gossip, gossip
by time2keepmoving ineven though i've been disfellowshipped for several months now (looking forward to my 1 year anniversary).
i did have a brother contact me about one of my siblings who is still "in" and ask me personal questions about them.
he also shared with me a lot of personal info about my sibling that i did not know, obviously my relative shared this information with this brother in confident.. i felt like if my relative wanted me to know they would have told me.

I could give two rats ass what he thinks of me or anybody else in that mind-controlling organization. I'm done with the cult, so that a non-factor in my life. If all it's really about is gossip, rumors and lies, why would I want to waste my time thinking about what the people who participate in that mess think about me or even waste a milisecond of my life trying to clear it up. I would have to really care to do that. I'm none communicating with this brother because he has a poisonous tongue, just like so many of fake-ones in the KH.
This is yet another thing that confirms the ugliest of this organization. They live to destroy people's character and name. I have no intentions on contacting anybody in the bOrg about this because they ALL do it and it would be an exercise in futility, not to mention I don't want any contact with the witnesses. This mess has been going on for years and it ain't gonna stop now. I hope it gets so bad for my relative, that it forces then to open their eyes and see this organization for what it really is (one big fat lie). I'm going to let the chips fall where they may and pray it will be the catalyst to my relative's departure.

I felt like if my relative wanted me to know they would have told me. Yet in talking with me, he was more than happy to break their confident and fill me in.
I have come to the conclusion that he enjoyed this and has no qualms whatsoever in telling other people business, including to disfellowshiped relatives. In talking to him, I've discerned he does not have all his facts right, but that's okay....because does that really matter in the bOrg?
He has also felt generous enough to inform me about personal info he has heard in passing *eye rolling* about other "friends" I was previously acquainted with in the KH (ex. like one of the sisters being HIV positive ~ if it's true I wonder how that info got out).
Man, the gossiping never stops. He is running his mouth and throwing all kinds of people under the bus with his gossiping, breaching people's confidenality, innuendos, misinformation, etc. and there is no shame in his game. He is also dragggging my relatives name through the mud in the organization (can't say I was too mad about this or discouraged it, maybe this will be the thing to make them leave or at least open the door to the possiblity).
I basically decided to stop taking his phone calls, because this so-called brother is totally negative and 1) I really don't care. I'm out of the Borg. 2) This just reaffirms my decision not to go back 3) I want to move on with my life and I really don't want nor care what is going on with these folks including my relations who are still in. Their in am out!

Do the Jehovah Witnesses break up families?
by trailerfitter inthe answer is yes in my case.
for some of you wonderful people on here will remember i asked a few questions and was concerned about my wife becoming a jehovahs witness,...well, she is baptised now and fully fleged (committed).. i have been called possessed by satan , mentally ill, a schitzophrenic and was beaten emotionally and mentally.
eventually i had to leave our house after 2 years of this situation getting worse.

Your wife is under complete and utter emotional and mental control. She's in the very beginning stages of being a JW where EVERYTHING that is not JW-related is SATAN, period. In her eyes, Satan is using you to break her integrity to god, but in reality your sound reasoning is making her question her belief in her religion...and she just can't have that. In her mind, god and the JW's are one and the same. God works through the JW's. So to leave them is to leave god. This is the point in time when most new converts lose their family and friends because they've alienated them with their fanatical ways. I don't blame you for being angry with everything. You've basically lost the wife you knew and she's become a bible-beating cult member.
This is so spot-on and so, so true! I lose a family member because of this, not looking back though. We are both adults and now this is the dividing line. I have gone North and she went South.
