Our one-time CoBE worked with lawyers doing family law. I don't know if he was involved in actual divorce work but another sister said he was. Be that as it may...
Long-term adultery took place in my ex-cong. Who do you think got thrown under the bus? The adulterer or the innocent party?
I watched the innocent party have a melt down in the KH as the CoBE said 'it's only your wife, it's only your wife.' He was telling the brother to stop making such a fuss.
So the brother, who had been in jail in the 70s for the sake of neutrality left the 'truth'. Maybe he had a complete mental breakdown. I don't know I was still a relative newbie at the time and knew little.
But telling the elders about adultery does not necessarily result in trouble for the adulterer.
Sorry to hear of your situation Worstfear. Must be unbearable for you. Take one day at a time. I find helping others is a great comfort, it keeps you busy and you find new friends. It is nice to see them smile and for you to find out that you mean a lot to others.
(Acts 20:35) . . .I have exhibited to you in all things that by thus laboring you must assist those who are weak, and must bear in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, when he himself said, ‘There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.’”

That's an interesting presentation - all sorts of secular courses can be used in a similar way from survival to meds.
Just shows why we should be very careful who we look up to and assess what values they live by and whether or not we want to go along with them.
(Matthew 23:8) . . .But you, do not you be called Rabbi, for one is your teacher, whereas all you are brothers.

C T Russell's pyramid monument gets taken away by the WTS.
by Rafe injust recently the stone pyramid monument at c t russell's grave site was taken away by the wts.. six screens of the watchtower did a public discussion about the removal which may be still on that web site, that's where i heard about it.. it had been recently vandalized such the top head piece was removed and the carved christian cross on the monument was chiseled off.. since the wts owns that grave site, they have the right to do whatever they want to do with it.. my guess is that they will never put it back or redo the damage.. i think they will put it away in a obscure place and cover it, locked up somewhere.. the wts.
has never been proud or willingly open about that monument for obvious reasons such as being associated in false religion, which they claim they are not and they admonish other christian faiths are.. your thoughts ?

Blues Brother on that jwtalk site someone wrote this about the pyramid.
That's a shame, it was a beautiful piece of our history. I always wanted to take a selfie by that pyramid but I'm afraid it won't happen now.

They could be hiding it or... move it somewhere that they have control over to make it a WT tourist attraction.
Think of the photo opportunities -
