Religious Affiliation

by Anna Marina in

uk court case - does anyone know if there are actual court cases docs online to do with a may 12th news item on the watchtower's official website?.

the news item says that the court of appeal of england and wales dismissed an application to appeal a decision of the high court upholding the watchtower's right to follow bible directives regarding disfellowshipping.. it's proving difficult to find online docs about this..

I also saw that on jworg but like you I could not find anything to confirm it , even on the court of appeal site ,

Even if true in a court of law would it be true in the court of public opinion.

Another heart-worming story

by StephaneLaliberte in

today, i got an email from an old friend with a story told by brother andre ramseyer who attended training at patterson in england.

a service dog regularly attended the meetings with his owner.

when the owner passed away, the dog was given to another blind man.

I got sent the same experience the guide dogs former owner was a bro who's routine was to attend the meeting on a regular basis , then when he passed away the dog was then given to another blind person who took him to the k/hall and he got a warm welcome then started a study ,

Probably things elaborated each time it's passed on like Chinese whispers .

The Great Crowd Fallacy

by Vanderhoven7 in

the great crowd of other sheep witnesses allegedly first began forming early on in the 20th century.

rutherford was totally unaware of this crowds existence until 1935. it was revealed to him in 1932 that the great crowd members were heaven-bound.

then light flashed from heaven in 1935 showing that this group was an earthly class.

Maybe a overlapping great crowd .

Dis/UNITED Kingdom?

by BoogerMan in

england, wales, scotland & n.i.

are independently making or changing the covid 19 lockdown laws/rules to suit themselves... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52600708.

garden centres are opening in wales on monday, in england on wednesday, but by the looks of things, are far too dangerous to open them anytime soon in scotland or n.i.

Brainwashing left a stain

by Fadeaway1962 in

hi one of my jw parents died recently of old age , after decades of brainwashing of the dead are just a sleep and if we are good we would see them again in paradise .. i fully understand now you have one life and should make the best of it but finding it difficult at the moment to get my head around it .. it's just a bit of a rant but your the only ones that i can try and express how i feel and be able to understand after the years of brainwashing how it affects my thinking process.. thanks for any help and advice..

Fadeaway1962

Thanks for your kindness and advice, I understand it will take time to heal.

A family member who I shunned because they didn't marry in the lord and then celebrated Christmas when they had a family was there because of nessary family business, we were having a chat about things and I took the opportunity to apologize for how I treated them for over 20 year's expecting them to tell me to f##k off , but they accepted my apologies and hopefully we can move forward I know it will take time.

Thanks again and take care

have you heard anything ?

by lancelink in

i was a witness from grade school ( 1976) until 2007. i seem to remember an important aspect that was always talked about at the hall as being a fact.they would say that "the rocks themselves would cry out" if the public preaching work was to stop,,,,, all i've seen and heard these past few months are the witnesses complaining about the witnessing work coming to a halt.but i've not heard one rock crying .. .

It's a fulfilment of Micah 4:1

In the final part of the day's

The mountain of the house of Jehovah will be firmly established

And to it people's will STREAM.

Have you ever known elders who were more into being and elder than really being a believer?

by phoenixrising in

i have known many elders who were much more into the idea of being an elder and getting all the old ladies to tell them what wonderful talks they give and the power then really being a believer.

i had one elder tell me that when he became an elder he was on top dog on top of the heap.

i knew some who were really all about the religion and following the cult.

Fadeaway1962

A gong I was in the po ,his son and son in laws and there pals were elders so some of it is a social thing and to be included in that circle .

And some wife's pushed there husband to be elders to be included in the social circle too.

(And to find out all the gossip)
