can anyone provide a link for the pdf of the current 'shepherding' book?
thanks for any help!.
be very careful regarding giving links to copywritten material on a public forum. the wtbs has in the past gone after websites for copywright infringement. Small quotes are ok due to fair use doctrine however cw works in their entirity is a no no.
But he only gave 14 seconds of anchorman, funny as it was, oh wait you were talking about......... (I must have a woman's brain trapped in a man's head)
Wish I could - it's 11:00am where I am
this is my 13th post and my last.
i had lurked on this site for years, joining to offer my condolences when oompa passed away.
i told little about myself and will offer more now, as i am leaving, in the hopes that it may help someone else.
A truly amazing story, thank you for sharing, so glad you saw sense and did the right thing, what a pity your parents and siblings couldn't see it. All the best for the future.

LOL - they are saying admitting they themselves are rebelling against Jehovah
i do not wish to debate anything here like i have said in the past i have much respect for most on this forum (believers and non believers) i am simply wondering if the atheist or non god believers every worry about what if your wrong?
it seems that many who were jw for so many years attach jehovah/yahweh with the watchtower and since the wt is wrong than god does not exist.
i ask this question only because i care about people and salvation thats why i want to help as many as possable come out of this cult,and since i truly believe in god i dont know what is in the cinscience of those who dont.
unstopableravens, I don't believe there is a god who cares, but I care and live life accordingly, is there anything wrong in trying to live and good and decent life without having to answer to a god?
more haphazard thougths on the recently concluded elder school..... a big chunk of time was spent on a video which traced a judicial case, all the way from the confession to the elders through the decision to disfellowship the guy.. here is a very brief synopsis of the video:.
tearful late-teen or early-20's publisher confesses to 2 elders that he committed fornication with a "worldly girl" who is now preganant and wants to marry him.
the elders give him some "homework" to do prior to his judcial committee - read psalm 51 and an old wt article.
A few months after I had faded I bumped into an elder, he said I was missed as all my points I raised in the elders meetings were always backed up by scriptures. I found it an odd comment to make, until I read the above.
i joined this site a while ago, and promptly forgot all about it.
so imagine my surprise and delight when i started getting referrals from it to my blog!

Welcome, from another UK resident, rainy and windy where I am
my guess would be the ones featured prominently in the book.
franz speculated on different directions the wt doctrine might eventually take and he was proved right.
perhaps his ideas were considered by some to be good solutions to the corners they painted themselves into and stolen on that basis.
They would have known the content anyway, I think they all probably did out of curiosity, or at least had someone paraphrase it so they would be able to defend their actions

us xjw's will have to behave ourselves, i think the worst punishment they could inflict on me would be to be forced to attend a kingdom hall, i would go to jail instead !.
I love the last sentence (no pun intended) in the article: Forcing him to attend a Christian church isn't going to solve anything.
