Searching for Watchtower about working for / with disfellowshipped person

by confusedandalone in

evening,.

i wanted to know if anyone knows which watchtower articles speak about working with or for a disfellowshipped person.

it would appear that there is now a huge witch hunt regarding this because of my recent situation.

I hope everything is Ok for you and your wife CAA, hopefully you can let us know how your new employee is going soon.

Forum updates, issues and performance

by Simon in

first of all, thank you all for your patience while i made a few tweaks to the site.. i ended up actually going down a bit of a rabbit hole of updating one thing which required another thing be updated first and so on ... before i knew it i'd updated the framework platform and most of the sub-components used and then got carried away trying to do some optimizations as well.

all worthwhile though and a little overdue.. anyway, i broke a few thing along the way but i also fixed a few things too ... erm, unfortunately they didn't always quite match up so there are still a few things outstanding that i need to fix and am working on.. but, i'm hoping that dispite the short-term pain the site should now load and run just a little bit faster for you.

well, that's the intention - i'd be interested to hear how you find it.

Thanks Simon for your hard work we really appreciate it.

Aust. Election in 1 week - A review of Kevin Rudd, PM

by fulltimestudent in

i'm still determined not to vote - just to write something unpleasant about pollies on the ballot paper.

if i lived in victoria, i just may, as an act of sheer bastardry, vote for julian assange (of wikileaks fame), but i don't live in vic, so i cant.. my objection to voting is that the political choice offers two self-perpetuating oligarchies (who are something like the governing body).

they make up a slate of candidates and election advertising consists of attempting to persuade swinging voters to vote for their slate of candidates.. anyway, i noted that k.rudd has made a video in chinese, aimed apparently at mainland china.

Im gonna go Katters Aust party, the other yobbos are just gonna stuff up this country more than it already is, besides if I really had to choose it would be labor and Katter, Palmer votes go to Labor anyway.

The Confessed Pedophile Who Raped Me Is Going To Be Made A Elder Again, Need Help Please!

by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

years ago you read my horror stories about being raped by a jw.

i was nine years old when this took place, now the man has been getting all his works in order.

what do i do to stop the seventy-year old pedophile from getting his position back?

jemba

Down the track when you may feel stronger maybe you can sue him and the society for damages and you will be deserving of every cent, take the scum down. I wish the government was more serious about chemical castration for filthy pedophiles.

this poor woman was a victoria secret model.

she gave it up to become a muslim.

Bet she will have to cover her head and face in shame too, while men can go to the beach and pool in trunks. So unloving and unequal, this is a terrible religion.

The final chapter in the confusedandalone story...

by confusedandalone in

this morning i get a frantic call from my sister (who has been baptized 1 year and one month and never attends meetings anymore).

in tears she tells me that this morning my father picked her up in the car and told her that i was am apostate.

that i no longer loved jehovah and that i was going to be disfellowshipped.

jemba

Thankyou so much for keeping us updated on your saga 'Confused'. Sometimes we need to see how other people handle situations for help in our own struggles.

I love the way you have put the elders in their place. I hate the whole power and authority thing they think they have and long to tell them one day that they have nothing over us at all, but are just uneducated fools trying to make themselves feel good.

Like you guys its just Hubby Me and the 2 kids and we have never been happier since fading but like many on here we do expect a visit at anytime and we have taken note of how you treated the fools.

Im glad to see your witness workers are staying, but in this financial climate they probably dont have much choice, lets hope you wake up lots more JWs yet.

Good work Confusedandalone!!

Youre our hero.
