I grew up in the Clio Congregation. I am now living in WV. Still have family in Clio that are Jw's.
I am now a Southern Baptist though. I also know people from the Imlay City Cong. and ones from Washington Cong.. I also knew some from the Flint area.

joe anderson-disfellowshipped!
jehovahs witness child advocate.
Someone mentioned earlier that those who publicly support Mr. Anderson or the SilentLambs will be disfellowshipped.
Well Let be the First to say right here that I Support them and I do not care the consequences.
If anyone from headquarters or the Local Kingdom Hall wants to know I support not only the Silent Lambs, But I support all who are or have ever been disfellowshipped or disassociated and I fully Support anyone that the Watchtower Organization calls Apostate.
For their (the WTBS) thoughts are not God's Thoughts and their ways are not God's Ways.
Ron
is it safe to reveal your identity, location, personal details, etc.
on this site?
or are there any sickos prowling around?
I Really don't care if the Watchtower Spies know who I am or what I am doing.
I will even give them all the details if they ask.

i was thinking about this the other day.
since i've left the borg, i find myself loving other humans more.
like all the little children being abducted, the miners trapped in the mine last week, the victims of car accidents that i pass on the road, a woman crying in the car next to me while waiting for the green light, the homeless that i see every weekend at a local soup kitchen where i volunteer, etc.
OH YES. I now have a ministry to help those coming out. To see the website visit

I was saved several months ago and my wife and I were Baptized at Memorial Baptist Church in Beckley WV in April. Where we have been attending since December 2001.

this was posted on alt.religion.jehovahs-witn, just thought i'd share it with you:.
the following figures from an article in newsweek represent the number of college graduates within each religious group in america.
can this be used to relate the intelligence of the membership of each religion?
Proof that Jehovah's Witnesses are a bunch of dumb asses.
My ex wife is a Jw dumber than a box of rocks and is home schooling our children. I have many views pro and con for home schooling. So if you think not getting a college education messes these kids up many are homeschooled and aren't even givent he basics
i grew up around truth.
i joined the ministry school when i was 8. i was babtised in 1979 and was disfellowshipped in 1990. i was reinstated in 1992. i was not disfellowshipped for being unrepentant, i was disfellowshipped for "a pattern".
i was reinstated and began to follow the organizationa and direction of the elders.
I grew up around truth. I joined the ministry school when I was 8. I was babtised in 1979 and was disfellowshipped in 1990. I was reinstated in 1992. I was not disfellowshipped for being unrepentant, I was disfellowshipped for "a pattern". Ok, whatever. I was reinstated and began to follow the Organizationa and direction of the elders. I pioneered for two years. I moved from Princeton, Wv to Capac Michigan.
I had been married for 16 years and had 4 children, when after an argument with my wife I left for four days. While I was gone I was informed by my wife that she wanted us to meet with the elders. I agreed, she made a lot of accusations and the elders believed her. They informed me that while they did not promote seperations they had to agree with her and that I should abide by her wishes. So I did, I lived on a campground in a popup camper. During that time, I informed the elders that I had proof she was having an affair with a ministerial servant in the cong. I was told I should not think that of her and I should not accuse a brother. Well a short time later his parents caught them in the act. During my seperation one elder had my wife stay with him and his family, another loaned her his car all in an attempt to keep me from finding her, not that I would hurt her but she had them convinced them that I would. Not only that but they were helping her cover this adulterous affair. another elder paid for her attorney. The two of them were disfellowshipped, yet the cong continued to help her and care for her. While I lived in a popup and no one checked on me for three months. I filed for divorce and began to talk to a sister in WV. The elders told me that I could not date her and I told them I wasn't one elder told me I had to "cease and desist" from any contact with the sister. I did not, instead I moved back to Wv and the elders there told us we could not see one another until my divorce was final. assuming that would take time and not knowing that I had already started the process. Her and i did not see one another until it was final. to their surprise it was only one week later. We showed up at a picnic together and was holding hands, watching the elders point and whisper. An elder called to inquire was my divorce final. I told him to mind his business and check with officials for this is public info. They then requested that I come meet with them. I refused. I was later informed that it was a judicial meeting and I told them do what they had to do. One of the elders on the committee was very supportive of me (and a true friend) he advised me that if I did not show the other two on the comittee had already decided to disfellowship me. So I went pretended to agree and say I was sorry. They put me on public reproof. One of the elders in the cong. the one who called me asking for proof had also lied to me and we got into a heated debate in the back room which has a window where everyone in cong. watched on, I asked the brothers why after all this time was this now an issue with them. The elder stated that, the elders were not aware that we were dating. ( a bold faced lie), we had sat together at meetings attended functions together been to that brothers house together and even requested that his be a chaparone for us when we went on a trip.
We were both marked before the cong. And to beat it all the elders went around identifying us as the ones marked. They forced the elder (the Friend) to resign because he married us and went against them.
I found out during my divorce that my ex had sex with many people including coworkers, friends and even my Father and my Brother. Guess what she married the Ministerial Servant and they both were reinstated at the same time. I did not mention that the cong. in Michigan was the cong. they grew up in. and that in the 1980's the society had to come in and remove all of the elders because the corruption was so rampant it was becoming public. I was placed on public reproof for disobeying the elders in Michigan when told to stop contact with the sister in WV , although not one elder provided me with scriptual proof. The elders in michigan gave me a couple of articles about sex in the marriage. I told them my wife and I were seperated and I was not having sex with anyone. What a really screwed up, mind controlling, bunch of purely sadistic assholes.
Who take the side of whores and why not they are spiritual whore themselves!!!! The harlot on the wild beast is not all other religions but the Watchtower Society. That is my prophecy and I say she will be knocked off some day and destroyed just the way she has destroyed others lives and for the bloodshed she has caused in the "No Blood" policies. Remember God hears those who are sighing and moanining and it is like touching his eyeball. So I continue to study the bible and am making friends via the internet and have made a few " wordly friends and even celebrated the holidays this year. That sister and I are now happily married and have a beautiful daughter. I study the Bible Student literature and a few other helps. I also am helping to encourage others to come out of the cult. And offer help to anyone reading this to contact me via email and I will answer. I also want to thank everyone who has helped me along the way to see JW's for what they really are.

a friend from back home wrote me a letter.
they just had the co visit.
she asked him about the un thing.
The C/O just visited here in princeton, Wv. and made the announcement that the Princeton Cong was the largest in the circuit. That is interesting since total attendance on thursdaynight is average 60 people. if this is Largest it only means the Org. Is suffering. I read of it's downfall several years ago and apparenttly it is happening- praise be to God for uncovering this false religious cult!

voltaire posted something that made me start thinking about judicial committees and the rights an accused has when summoned by one.. basically, here in the us if you are arrested, usually the police officer or arresting agent will read you your miranda rights.
"you have the right to remain silent.
anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Except if you remain silent, they will disfellowship you anyway.
What most people do not know is that if you are charged with causing a division in the congregation they can form a judicial comittee and disfellowship you without you being present or having knowledge of the Judicial meeting. Using this secret trumped up charge, anyone at anytime can be disfellowshipped. Also if you refuse to attend their little Judicial hearing they view that as tantamount to pleading quilty and will disfellowship you.
This is the way CULTS do things.
Just some info.
Ron
