  The right to record your judicial committee meeting

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok.. we have often heard secret recordings online of jc hearings.

  but, what i would like to know is if individuals are entitled to the right of officially recording their judicial hearings?.

  supposing i was to attend a judicial committee and i explained up front that i would like to record the proceedings and then place a dictaphone on the table.

  For example. Supposing I was to attend a judicial committee and I explained up front that I would like to record the proceedings and then place a dictaphone on the table. Are the elders breaking the law by not allowing me the right to record the meeting?

  Any thoughts?

  well, i finally got round to reading this book.

  having read many positive reviews, i thought i would give it a blast.

  i am trying to deprogram myself from watchtower group think and avoid going back because of family and peer pressure.. hopefully this book will give me the tools i need to do this.

  Brilliant thread 👍

  I'm not a newbie, but need to express my thoughts.

  I faded because of Watchtowers bs, the intrusion and control over people's lives; the judgementalism, the deceipt, the lies, the arrogance, etc etc

  Lloyd’s new book

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i see there has already been discussion over lloyd’s new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.

  this includes discussion around his personality, motives and financial gains.

  i have written a foreword for this book, because it is an important topic that has not been covered in such a complete format before.

  Hey Paul.

  I totally respect you. Your site was an eye opener for me. It has everything you need to know about the watchtower society.

  I watch various YouTubers including Lloyd Evans. Everyone has something to contribute to exposing watchtower as nothing more than a American based high control religion/ publishing corporation masquerading as the only true Christian faith on earth..

  You and others are helping many to break the chains of imprisonment to the watchtower organisation. Just to say a big thankyou to all of you for your endeavours in this.

  Brilliant, simply brilliant. Totally exposes watchtower for what it is - a controlling cult that will not listen to reason!

  Do You Know Any “Gay” Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  of course the religion condemns homosexuality but did you know any gay witnesses?

  i knew some bethelites that were very effeminate and i remember 4 women who were suspected of being lesbians by many in the congregation.

  they eventually moved away and were very vocal against males, especially elders..

  Once bitten, twice shy

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ok. having experienced the jdubs over 27 years.

  i have come to the conclusion that sincere people have been 'conned' into the troof, into a 'system' of beliefs that immerses them into an organisation that holds them captive ie no honourble way out without being shunned by friends and family.. having gone through this horrible experience, many are afraid to join another christian group.

  it's a bit like someone who trusted someone most of their life only to find that person was a devious lying individual.

  Having gone through this horrible experience, many are afraid to join another Christian group. It's a bit like someone who trusted someone most of their life only to find that person was a devious lying individual. Who therefore would you trust?

  As someone who firmly believes in God and Christ, I am now cautious. I love God's word, I love God, I love the Messiah.......but am extra careful who and what I believe.

  Is this something you personally feel?
