I've been fading for about a year and the last I have heard or seen on this particular matter is that if you vote- it is grounds for a judicial committee and possible disfellowshipping. I know of one young man who did indeed vote and did indeed get the boot. This was in 2014. There has been nothing in print stating otherwise that I am aware of- but please enlighten us all if you have new LIGHT on the the matter! ;)

Rape Victim Forced To Listen To a Tape Of Her Assault In A JC

this is absolutely outrageous.

a rape victim was forced to listen to herself being raped while the elders stopped and started the tape claiming she was consenting.

even though during one of the assaults she was duct-taped, gagged and had a pillowcase over her head.

Many many moons ago- I had to sit in a JC with an adulterous woman, her husband and mine. All together... to discuss the allegation that she was pregnant with my husbands child. Disgusting claims were made- and I had to endure not getting up and kicking her ass right then and there. After a humiliating investigation and my family being dragged through the mud- she later admitted she was pregnant from a co-worker and had been having an affair with him for a very long time. We believe she wanted child support $$$ from us since we were of much more means than most in our old hall. Yeah, that's just ONE of the many psycho stories I could tell you about being a Jehovah's Witness.

another leak from my collection of talks that i was ordered not to share.

an elder gave me a ton of talks from bethel and special assembleys to put on his ipod.

of course i copied them to my computer and will share them for all of us.. depression is a part of this life by brother nathan fuel.. this talk also touches on the subject of family members being disfellowshipped, feel depressed?

WOW- so around the 30 minute mark--- if you are UNHAPPY in a marriage and you realize that you did indeed marry the WRONG person. TOO BAD!!! You are under a contract with God and you will have to suffer through it.

My favorite part was when it was summarized by the GB helper--- "Did you notice how the sister compared marriage to that of a building project?" Count the cost before you do it??? WELL WELL WELL... look who's calling the kettle black??? HELLO??? "There seems to be more money going out then there is coming in..."
This GB 2.0 are the worst hypocrites ever!

Hi Everyone- guess I've never made a formal introduction. I haven't been on too long as a member- but have been checking this site fairly regularly for about a year now! I am the kind of person that you LOVE to hear about! (smiles) Woke up around November-December of last year. Went into a full fade at the beginning of this year and have not looked back!I still have some highs and lows since I've been in the cult for over 30 years- but I have never felt better in my life! I've enjoyed reading peoples comments- and keeping up with what's happening on the inside since I still have family that are drones. Thanks for keeping this forum going strong. I am hoping that many more newbies will be on here- the kind like I am!! I have to admit- I love hearing about more and more people leaving! Welcome to ALL on here that are new and thanks for the WELCOME from the old timers! lol

Disfellowhsipped for 7 years...
by HereIgo in

2. experiences
i remember around 2009, there was a scandal going on involving 2 families in my cong where the husband in one family was having an affair with the wife of the other family.

this resulted in pregnancy and subsequent disfellowshipping.

what was interesting to me though was a comment made by a co from the platform.
