The Jw elders would be better suited to judge in an era that they drowned witches. The whole Jw judicial system is about connections, the only way to survive is to be in the know. Just like in elders book page 38 para 19 an elder can commit immorality and still keep job as elder, they sit on a judgement throne that doesn't apply to them.

41what are your thoughts on this quote from the elders book?
by aboveusonlysky in'in order to extend mercy, the committee must be convinced that the wrongdoer has a changed heart condition and that he has a zeal to right the wrong and is absolutely determined to avoid it in the future.'.
shepherd the flock page 91. i remember this is one of the first things that concerned me as an elder because it seemed to sound like a person is guilty until proven innocent rather than 'love believes all things', especially given the word 'convinced' appears in bold.. then in a training video one elder said something like 'unless we are convinced of repentance the shepherd the flock book says we must disfellowship'.
that was the begining of the end for me as i thought surely true christians would reason the other way round and show mercy wherever possible.. any thoughts?.

Appealing a DF decision
by HereIgo ini always found it interesting that one could appeal a disfellowshipping....if jehovah doesn't make mistakes, then there wouldnt be a need to "appeal" anything to begin with right?.

Any court that allows an appeal yet won't allow a recording is called a kangaroo court. If Ray Franz and his well written appeal failed what hope has a teenager got.

Final Rejection
by Disassociated Lady 2 ini have just returned from visiting friends and family.
when i was disassociated my parents had contact with me a few months before my dad was diagnosed with cancer.
i was reinstated 20 months after his funeral and then they disfellowshipped me 5 months later as they are convinced i had not changed my life enough to be a jw again.

Sad sad stories, I'm so lucky I was never born in this family destroying cult. All you have in the end is your mind, protect your mind from this poison. If people can't think for themselves there is nothing you can do to help. I just can't fathom parent child relationships destroyed by a group of men in Brooklyn

A religion or OCPD?
by Xanthippe ini came across this paragraph about the causes of ocpd and it occurred to me that jws as a religion do reward ocpd traits.
they insist you adhere to rules and behaviours to the impairment of social and family activities.
perfectionism, strict moral code, lack of generosity.. so does this religion cause this personality disorder or does it recruit people who suffer from it?.

This religious indoctrination has side affects that some take to the grave. The creation of little judges by a cult is its legacy, for people to willingly submit to this mental torture is astounding.

Blood fraction?
by Fisherman ina vampire is taken to the emergency room on a stretcher.
the doctors notice what he is so instead of giving him an iv they show him a cross to subdue him, so he says to them: " i am jw and i don't believe in the cross," so the doctors say to him: "you haven't eaten in a very long time, we need to pump 5 gallons of whole blood into you.
" the reformed vampire then informs them that he refuses the blood on religious grounds.

Who has the authority to decern what the bible really teaches?
by TTWSYF inso i ask because of all the books, mags and testimonies that the wts promotes.
not only the wts, but many other christians attempt to speak about the bible with authority.
how do we measure who is an authority if we don't know that much?.

Advanced Warning I - WT August 2016 "Study" articles re "Reaching Out"
by Nicholaus Kopernicus inthe brief outline for this item makes reference to the most recent wt on the subject of "reaching out" (august 2016 - pages 20 - 29) if you are a jehovah's witness and thinking about becoming a ministerial servant or elder, then please consider the following information prior to attending the kh for this week’s wt “study” and the week after.
first - if you hope to become an elder, in the uk you will also become a charitable trustee.
you will not be given any training for this part of your role.

The liability of elders actions will fall squarely on themselves as head office washes their hands. Head offices advice is always about their own protection, just like the bullshit when they say every baptised member is a minister, literally dozens of times in court they have tried to distance themselves from even MS actions. Litigation will bury the WT, I know because look at the quality of their representation at ARC. In courts it all boils down to the quality of lawyers, ask OJ Simpson.

Do they know what 7.5 billion dead bodies look like?
by jambon1 inin their sick and twisted bubble that they live in, the jehovahs witnesses clearly have no idea about the logistical nightmare of disposing of 7.5 billion corpses.. when i heard an elder once say that it will be a joy to clear away the wicked from the earth, he actually had a smile on his face.. can they even begin to imagine what 7.5 billion dead men, women, children & babies looks like?.
"let the eye feel no sorrow".
sick bastards..

As Jw we weren't allowed to use blood and bone fertiliser yet for our glorious god it's his number one gardening ingredient. Not to mention that birds of mid heaven will feast on our sorry arses.
