Are Elders prepared to take the fall for WT/GB misdemeanor's / crime ??

by smiddy3 in

i have been thinking about this in relation to the directive given to elders to destroy any incriminating evidence they may have either on their pc`s ,e-mails , private notes in their possession, or notes in their witnessing bags ,etc.

to do with child sexual abuse they may still have in their possession.. isn`t that encouraging the elders to interfere with the justice system ?.

to break the law?.

Most elders are doing God's work so think there is no way things can go awry. Until it is too late.

Anyone who is really " thinkingest" (tm) can figure out that directions to get rid of damning material us a cover up.

Exes: Would You Rat On A Current JW?

by NotFormer in

it's an interesting thought.

if you are an ex jw, presumably dfed, and you see a current jw in good standing engaging in behaviour that would concern their elders, would you pass on that information to interested parties?

do accusations from exes and other outsiders carry any weight?

Memorable gem from November 2023 Study WT

by BoogerMan in

study watchtower november 2023 p. 16,17 pars.

9,10 - "consider the example of oleg and irina, a married couple who serve as pioneers.

after moving to assist a congregation in another area, they lost their source of income because of the worsening economic conditions in their country......one day when they returned home from the ministry, they learned that a close friend had traveled about 160 kilometers (100 mi) to bring them two bags of groceries.

The congregation and jeh had nothing to do with it. It was an established friend.

by TxNVSue2023 in

even though i'm disfellowshiped ( & i belive wrongfully so).

i still belive this is the truth.

i have been d'f for about 8 months now and working on reinstatement.

Golden rule and book of James wrap it nicely. But not what is seen in practice. Other religions and some secularists often come closer.

The last days is a common theme in all doomsday religions. The outcome depends on which one: rapture, living through to paradise, reincarnation.

My feeling is either God doesn't care, or doesn't exist. Maybe ( witness belief ) waiting for a greater number to destroy

study article 31.

“be steadfast, immovable”.

11 at times, we might reason that the direction jehovah gives us is not sufficient.

My beard is comfortable and makes me look better, even admitted by long time company men. . It takes grooming, but less than shaving every day. You are right, it is a choice, not a requirement either way.

spreading the word that someone is out

by enoughisenough in

i didn't know what category to put this under, but would appreciate thoughts.

we know if you are df or dissasociate yourself, an anouncement is made at the local kh.

do any of you know if they also contact congreagations you have gone to previously?

The announcement is only at the congregation that formed the committee. The gossip mill travels fast
