This time last year my father was in hospital (not covid) and a sister who works in the hospital smuggled the wine and bread in , so he could celebrate the memorial on zoom while in the hospital (veiwed himself as part of the great crowd) so didn't need to have them but it was important to him.

They also found a 6000 year old mummified skeleton of a child ,and a 10,500 year old basket kept in tact , preserved because of hot ,arid environment.(why could god not have preserved the original copy of these scrolls if so important to mankind so as to stop any confusion about the meaning)
My JW family have mentioned about yhwh being found in these scrolls , but fail to accept the other things that were found preserved which are in conflict with their beliefs,are excited about a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a word in these scrolls.

What is the most insensitive thing an Overseer or Elder has ever said and done to you?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inwhat is the most insensitive thing an overseer or elder has ever said and done to you?
i have had many insensitive things said to me by some elders, but for some reason one self-righteous elder was always on my case.
he didn't like the fact that i missed meetings, didn't like that i never went out in field service, that i didn't answer at the weekly meetings and he didn't like that i carried my books and magazines in my hands and not a service/book bag.

When I left my abusive wife , after being directed to by a domestic abuse agency and being in a homeless shelter for two weeks I meet with two elders to discuss the situation and the elders they just told me that a husband should not leave his wife was repeat it over and over again and that I should be more assertive in my marriage I told them that would make me the abusive one,I tried to get them to look up what constitutes domestic abuse because she had admitted to them things that are abusive in a marriage.
And they offered to study with us as if that would fix it, I refused.

When You Were A Witness Did You Believe Everything Taught?
by minimus inobviously at some point you stopped believing the witnesses had the truth or else you wouldn’t be here.
.
but for the most part, were you a true believer or were you typically a rebel or a doubter?

Yes I think I did , but when I had any doubts I would just do more study in JW stuff , and now realize i was being brainwashed into their mind control techniques which worked for decades in my case .

Does that mean that a legal precedent has been set for any future legal cases?

According to FAQ yes you can and JW will acknowledge your basic human rights to change or leave your religion without any consequences.
But the elders book says No you can't just leave resign ,your either disfellowshiped or dissociation which basically means the same you will be punished for resigning .
But to the public or a study it's looks like you can leave at any time but as we all know that the org talks out off both sides of its mouth,and has one side for the public and another for cult members.
