Circuit Overseers and Corruption
by MARTINLEYSHON inas an ex presiding overseer and public affairs spokesperson who is now disfellowshipped!!!
i am new to this site and have read with keen interest the many and varied topics that have been posted.
during my 9 years of presiding i encountered certain corrupt c/os for example the friends would treat them like little demy gods, hanging onto their every word, they would, on their visit influence the brothers to part with cash for privledges.

Bowen gives WBTS another Dilemma
by Nanoprobe ini think bill bowen has given the watchtower another dilemma.. has anyone had a chance to read bills letter to the draffenville body of elders?.
there isnt a link to the page but its: http://www.silentlambs.com latest info, bowen letter judicial committee 5-20-02. youll enjoy the entire letter but below is an excerpt:.
a second area that gives greater cause for concern are the other comments that appear to be malicious and slanderous in their context, i offer you the following:.

The local Body of Elders are also part of this slander having refused to comment to the public and imposing a judicial hearing which they failed to attend and thereby adding credibility to the idea that the charges were baseless.

Thanks to Everyone!
by Amazing inright now my body is half shaven with needle marks and bruises everywhere.
if i were stopped on the streets of chicago looking like this, staggering with fatigue, i would be arrested.
something we men have a hard time getting through our thick heads is that just because we feel basically okay, does not mean that we can or should do a lot physically after a traumatic event ... and i found this out by doing a little too much walking at the hospital chest tightened, became out of breath, and got dizzy.

Amazing, when you have the strength, please make notes of what you have learned. You seem to be a very " aware" person and your observations, what ever they may be, will be helpful. Thank you.

Amazing Survived Major Heart Attack
by AlanF ini just spoke on the phone to amazing (jim whitney) who is in intensive care in a chicago hospital.
on monday he had a major heart attack, had a stint put in an artery to unblock things and may have bypass surgery.
he's comfortable enough right now, but of course will have to make some big lifestyle changes.

Dateline- A Superb Beginning
by Siddhashunyata indateline is well respected and the overall sense of their presentation was that the watchtower is hiding something.
their support for the victims was evident by the way they organized the material.
it would not suprise me if other news and talk shows pick up the ball and keep it rolling , even expanding the issues involved .

Lets face it, this board and other sites are relentless in their quest for justice. Everything will be done on this end to keep a light on the activities of the WTBTS so I say there will be more shows to come!

What happened to GB member Leo Greenlees??
by IslandWoman ini would like to ask jws who are visiting here to go check their watchtower indexes for leo greenlees.
he was a member of the governing body, he also is the only governing body member whose disappearance from the gb is not documented in watchtower literature!
the announcement of the death, resignation or dismissal of every gb member can be found in watchtower publications except that of leo greenlees!!!

Even more important, did he molest young people in New Orleans and thereby implicate the WTBTS?

The Angry Mob - Here?
by Amazing ini noticed that non_trias_theos posted a comparative comment about ex-jws and divorcees ... and this raised some additional thoughts given the recent proclaimation that many, perhaps 90%, of the jwd posters are an angry mob, blaming everything on the watchtower religion.
non_trias_theos said in part: "peeps on this board sometimes remind me of bitter divorcees.
once they were supposedly happy jws who had that first love and joyfully engaged in meeting attendance and the preaching work.

Split infinitive ruins society
by the follower ina couple of years ago the queen in her address to the nation used a split infinitive for the first time.
needless to say, society has been reeling from the consequences of this lapse of judgement ever since.
there are fewer things i feel more strongly about.

All this having been said: should those of us who do not know proper grammer, should we continue to try to communicate ideas or should we defer under the assumption that only grammarian's have good ideas. Reminds me of the ridiculous assumption that only "art shools" produce artists. All of us have a "rich" interior life and it is the responsibility of the intelligent among us to note that life in each other regardles of grammer.

Old Light, New Light 1, 2, 3
by RR inyou know, the society sure could use some advice from c.t.
russell.. "if we were following a man undoubtedly it would be different with us; undoubtedly one human idea would contradict another and that which was light one or two or six years ago would be regarded as darkness now: but with god there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning., and so it is with truth; any knowledge or light coming from god must be like its author.
a new view of truth never can contradict a former truth.
