just heard from a friend who keeps in touch with the jw's.
a person who has been studying found out some things on line about the witnesses and decided to not get baptized and stopped attending the meetings.
she lives with a witness.

could not believe this week's "study" : .
here is a stewart in the stew, that mis - manages, perhaps defrauds his master, and knows he is going to be fired for that.
he defrauds his master some more, in order to avoid working and instead leaching off the former creditors.
As I no longer have access to the 'study' material, I wonder if someone could post here? I loathe to go to their site.
what unique to jws phrases do you remember?
something fun for those of us taught to speak an entirely unique and pure language.
there have been posts in the past in this forum but perhaps some have new ones after having kept up with jehovah's chariot as the light gets brighter.
The 'society'
'Worldly ones'
'The meeting'
'Out in Service'
'Earthly Hope or Heavenly Hope'
'Faithful and Discreet Slave'
'Theocratic Warfare'
Yuk.
just wondering hate to give the devil his due.
Condolences Vienne
leaders of the jehovah’s witnesses ordered to destroy confidential records.
a letter obtained by inq has shed light on the secretive methods the jehovah's witnesses are undertaking to erase the impact of child sexual abuse within the sect.. by georgia wilkins sept 10, 2019. a body representing the jehovah’s witnesses in australia has written to all elders of the group ordering them to destroy confidential records, including notes taken by elders investigating child sexual abuse, in an instruction that has enraged survivors of abuse inside the secretive christian sect.. in a letter obtained by inq, dated august 28, a body called the christian congregation of jehovah’s witnesses (australasia) instructs elders to destroy so-called judicial hearing records and certain congregation notes.. “we ask that each elder check his personal computer, or hard copy files, and even his meeting bag, to ensure that no confidential correspondence is retained outside the congregation’s confidential file,” the letter states.
it also directs elders to destroy information aired against so-called “wrongdoers”: “if this ‘wild talk’ is recorded in detail, it may not be accurately assessed when reviewed out of context,” it says.
What is stored in the "congregation’s confidential file,” ? What would the elders files have that the main file doesn't? Other than notes of the investigation - oh and of course references to the 'wild talk'.
i saw my mother today for the first time in three years..
she was on one of the witnessing carts in town at a station i don’t usually get off at.
i did today as i was dropping my daughter off somewhere.
personal face smacking reaction on my part as I read your post PE. Unbelievable how far their minds will take them down the rabbit hole. Now Satan is using her health to dissuade her from taking care of it. So sad she couldn't even acknowledge you either.
i’m just curious if you think your past life either adversely or positively affected your relationships?.
YES
before you answer; .
think about how they could care less how many families are broken up just to retain their power.
how they could care less if members are driven to suicide because of the deep programming and severe depression or strained family situations.. how they would rather let members die in order to retain their power and refuse to acknowledge their faulty bible reasoning regarding blood.. i could go on and on and on.
Of course. I am still a human being after all.
i know people are concerned about adding positively to jw stats on the site that shall not be named, but i don't think the argument is a valid one, because they are going to see cause to brag on themselves whether the stats rise, stagnate, or fall.
it's built into their self-conceits.
here's the menu you get when you create a user account on that site.. .
Unreal and Wow - only things that come to mind. Then again they have to get money for the pedophile lawsuits from somewhere.
i don't drive a 4 door car.
lol.
i go to a local christian church.
All the way
