  Too many details could identify him. But I can tell you this, he was not the only one who had his life destroyed like this. And the same set of elders were involved (plus some others). The elders appeared to be a clique, which these two were not part of.

  Being a clique, they protected those they had a soft spot for (not necessarily other old boys).

  I have no evidence for this but on occasion I have wondered whether elders like sitting on judicials and hearing grubby details. Those in the know tell the one who has done wrong how to say sorry and get off the hook. Then the elders let that one off the hook and rub their hands waiting for more grubby things to happen so they get to listen to another installment.

  I got told by a dark sister that if I went with her to her homeland I'd get treated like a celebrity because of my skin colour.

  Um - what's that all about?

  Having respect for others is good but if your sense of self worth is so low that you put others on a pedestal, you need know how precious and loved you are. Your life matters, A LOT whoever you are.

  (John 3:16) . . .“For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. . .

  I know someone who got sent to prison as a JW for Christian neutrality. Because I knew him personally I feel he did it for all the right, sincere reasons. Because he cared and he wanted to be peaceful.

  After being released, he moved countries, settled, had a family, provided for them and got treated with utter contempt by the elders. His life was destroyed. Guess what? He left and never spoke to any of us ever again. Shame because I'd love to tell him what happened to me. I think it'd make him feel a lot better and give him a good laugh.

  No I wasn't looking for domestic violence. I was trying to find examples to show that violence is across the board. Domestic violence is horrible though. I know a lady who suffered the most terrible injuries and fear. What happened was, her friends rallied around and enabled her to escape because they cared about her. Her life certainly mattered to them.

  Also she had the wisdom to grab her chance and get out of an abusive situation.

  Why is it that if I do a Google search on 'white woman beaten by white man' I get nothing but stuff about black men and women being beaten?

  Is Google being controlled by WTBS? Brothers used to say 'if the Society called white black and black white, I'd believe them.'

  Now where's that thread on media bias?

  Oh found this now - I had to put in the word 'heartless.'

  Human Rights

  Is it really about skin colour? Or what's in your heart, what's in your head and how you act?
  
  (Colossians 3:9-11) . . .Strip off the old personality with its practices, and clothe yourselves with the new [personality], which through accurate knowledge is being made new according to the image of the One who created it, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, slave, freeman, but Christ is all things and in all.
  
  (Luke 6:43-45) “For there is not a fine tree producing rotten fruit; again there is not a rotten tree producing fine fruit. For each tree is known by its own fruit. For example, people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they cut grapes off a thornbush. A good man brings forth good out of the good treasure of his heart, but a wicked man brings forth what is wicked out of his wicked [treasure]; for out of the heart’s abundance his mouth speaks.

  Watchtower time keeping - it's 3 o'clock so it must be Thursday. When it gets to 4 it's Friday. When it gets to 5 it's 8 o'clock and 8 o'clock'll be lasting 12 hours. And that'll be the new length of the midweek meeting.

  Now we're going to sing our new Kingdom Song. Why not try to memorize the lyrics? Then when you are in prison you can find comfort by singing it to yourself.

  Yes and if you control the platform that that the information is disseminated from.

  There's a game called Simple Simon Says - you have to do something if the words 'Simple Simon says' come before the command. If those words are not expressed you don't do the command.

  Similarly if today the words on the Broadcast are this, you do this. If tomorrow the words are that, you do that.

  How to totally annoy her - find old literature being used in current videos. See that'd evidently demonstrate they are apostate. Look at this video on the OFFICIAL site! It's title is:-
  

  A Tool to Help Us Explain Our Beliefs About 1914

  They are using the Is Satan Real Magazine from 2014! Old light. Oh how could they! :D
