  i finally got in contact with the overseer from my mom's congregation in ca, (i am in ks).

  i wanted to let him know how to contact me in case she becomes ill or worse.

  he called me back after i left a message for him.

  I wanted to add that I just got a new phone recently and my daughter showed me a website where I can download new ringtones. I have a customized

  ringtone for everyone on my contacts list. My default ringtone for anyone not on my contacts list says " there is an asshole calling" repeatedly. lol We were

  in mcdonalds having lunch when he called I forgot I had my ringer set to loud so I could hear it at home so in the middle of mcdonalds my ringer goes off

  "there is an

  asshole calling" so I answered it really fast before people started looking at me. lol if this elder guy only knew lmbo.

  LOLOLOL!! My husband had that ringtone too. The default ringtone for me said, "Warning! Warning! Wife is calling!" He had to go back to a regular ringtone when his phone decided to say "there is an asshole calling" for everyone including me. LOL!

  He also lowered telling the elders to just a if you want, status.

  That whole "selective enforcement when it comes to the family of elders" deal is incredibly maddening to me: I served as a Captain in the USAF about 10 years ago, and there were some violations of sub-ordinates where you absolutely could NOT "play it by ear" or do anyone favors, without facing getting punished for not following organizational policy. JWs follow that whole "rank has it's privileges" BS thinking which has been purged from many other organizations namely for what it leads to: abuse of power. Meanwhile, the R&F JW is told that sharing in the secret is tantamount to sharing in the sin... Such a double-standard, where elders are empowered to sweep matters under rugs...

  Unfortunetely, their abuse and hyporitical, immature behavior will get only worse.

  Anyway, play it as you must, and plot moving forward with your life: you are young, and you've got your whole life ahead of you. It may be you can only save yourself (which is sad, but often the reality), but it's better to know that now than later so as to decide which efforts are simply tilting at windmills, and throwing good money/time after bad.

  BU2B, I am sorry. Best regard to you.

  as many of us are aware the wt society has done quite nicely in a material way for themselves.

  the sales of properties of the former " bethel " in brooklyn amassed them millions of more $$$$ .

  they have relocated into upstate new york and are building like wildmen.

  Stealing 401K from their members, extortioning life insurance money from dying witness folks, defrauding Jehovah's Witnessess Nazi victim funds that's been compensated by Swiss Bank are a few more to be added in the Watchtower money laundering program.

  Watchtower's April 9 BOE Confidentiality Letter - Child Abuse - Did Jane Doe lawsuit play a major part?

  by SweetBabyCheezits in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i'd bet my left.... pinky toe that the wt's monster 4/9 confidentiality letter was put out as a direct result of the jane doe/candace vs wt case as they were preparing to go to trial.

  there had already been a year of legal proceedings - surely the wt knew the shit was about to hit the fan.. thanks goes to atlantis for posting the boe letters originally as pdfs.

  the person that a restraining order is a personal legal matter that does not involve the congregation.. thereafter, the elders should call the legal department immediately for direction..

  W. 1/1/1989, page 12, ph 8,

  Original Watchtower magazine: "He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our20th Century.(bold mine)"

  Watchtower Libary 2010 Edition & Watchtower Bound Volume: "He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our day.(bold mine)"

  I verified this from the original magazine. I have the original copy.

  Who has killed more Jehovah's Witnesses....Hitler...or the Governing Body of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society?

  by Balaamsass in

  another thread on this site is discussing the number of jehovah's witnesses killed in nazi germany ( 2000-2500), and a couple of threads have discussed the high incidence of suicide among jehovah's witnesses.

  (many victims of rape, child molesting, or cruel judicial actims).

  it occured to me with over seven million jws, it is likely the governing body probably has greater blood guilt than even adolf hitler.. what do you think?

  the high incidence of suicide among Jehovah's Witnesses. (Many victims of rape, child molesting, or cruel judicial actims).

  You can add my step-daughter on the list of suicide among Jehovah's Witnesses due to cruel Judicial actions. She commited suicide the night she met the Judicial Committee of Jehovah's Witnesses.

  Has anyone heard of "Secret Disfellowshipping" by Jehovah's Witnesses? Menlo Park Ca. Congregation. Update.

  by Balaamsass in

  2. scandals

  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.

  I know for a fact that there is a concerted effort by elders in congs around the menlo area to discredit and demonize the Cobbs. I have no doubt that the source of the slander is headquarters.

  Absolutely! It's all from the top. Those disfellowshipped ex-elders are completely wasting their time and energy on Appeal Hearing. They have a zero chance. The only option for them is taking a legal action.

  Lost my best friend (man's best friend)

  by Coffee House Girl in

  2. friends

  just wanted to write a tribute to my best friend whom i lost last week, it was one of the most painful experiences i have ever been through.

  i have no children, my puppy was my child.

  i got him from a golden retriever rescue organization when he was 2. he was recovering from a car accident, still a bit skiddish, but he chose me to take him home (the foster mom said that he never responded to anyone like he did me).. he was always happy to see me, greet me with a toy in his mouth, he never judged me, never cared whether i was "bad association", he was always there when i needed to smile and remembe that i was not alone in the world.

  I am so sorry. I am sobbing. I am so happy that you had each other.

  I have 2 dogs. I don't know what I do without them. I rescued them from the shelter. They rescued me from the Watchtower brutallty.

  Ditto to Giordano. Besides, he may not believe in the Military. We should respect others' philosophy.

  Befree, I can agree you more with your determation for higer education.

  Now that I realize your dad is stepdad to you, hummmmm.............. I hope he has your best interest. My children were raised by step-father. I admit, as much as wonderful step-father, better than real dad in many way, he was to my children, he was less tolerant and more strict with my children than his own. I did not always stood up for my children but gave in to his headship decision.(I feel I was treated as a second citizen then. I was finally respected and appreciated once I put my food down and stood up for myself and my children). I wish I can talk to your mother. Can you talk to your mother about it?

  Even though your step-dad is the head of house in Jehovah's Witnesses land, your mother need to understand it is her(unless your step-dad adopted you) that has the last saying on you. When I called the Service Department a few ago on the issue regarding my child, they ignored my husband in the conversation since he was a step-dad. I was told I am responsible for my children not their step-dad. Either way, it doesn't matter what they think, your mother has your best interest than any of them. You need to help her to realize that. Your mother should tell her husband, "it's nice to known your opinion but no thanks. it's my son and this is what I want."

  I am glad you feel better. Thanks for keeping us updated.

  Edit: As a side note, my eldest is graduating with Master Degree in Psychology at age 22. She is considering joining the Airforce upon her graduation in seeking PHD. Her tuition, housing, salary will be paid by the Militay while taking schooling. Can't beat that)
