  Do you remember 1975? I remember 1984.

  by The Rebel in

  if i mention "1984" you will probably think of george orwell and his book " 1984".however i think of "1984" as a year in my life when watford football club reached the f.a cup final.

  ( the f.a cup is the biggest footballing occasion in english sport, and my club " little watford" were in it) but instead of going to watch the game, i was forced by my dad to miss attending the match and prioritize on theocratic w.t study.. so for me the year 1984 was the year i should have woken up to " the truth about the truth" sadly it took another 30 years of generation and doctrinal change before this boy became " awake" and understood his defining moment and realized he was fooled by the w.t.. anyway 1984 was a long time ago, but today in 2016, i realized 1984 had a " modern day 2016 application" that happened last saturday, when i took my boy to watch my " little " watford play "mighty "manchester united" and we won 3.1. now it's wednesday and my boy and i are still on cloud 9, even orlandos school teacher started monday lessons by saying " well done watford ".

  yes little watford outplayed and beat the mighty united.

  Judical committee flaws

  by Chook in

  if an elder sitting in a jc has a secret sin of a serious nature, his rulings that took place while this sin was unknown are still binding.

  in a court of law of most countries that would be a grounds for appeal.

  regardless i know they are kangaroo courts ,where anyone who has any biblical knowledge knows they can't back up a scriptural reference for a three man tribunal.

  I was indoctrinated into the belief that the JC was Holy Spirit led ....................so .....surely it not have taken place by hook or crook as the HS should have intervened "somehow"....not so ??

  Call for Judicial Hearing by signed letter

  by sp74bb in

  2. friends

  i'm quite surprised about the new approach of some local congregation brothers respect about my fade.... funny, ilegal and very dangerous in view of the different laws regarding personal data and minorities in spain and in the eu.... i already organized a press meeting with main newspapers in spain.

  many has shown interest in this situation.

  the fact of that a parallel judicial system do exist is amazing them.

  String them along - Cat and Mouse style....

  eg Who is my accuser / What did they say /
  

  Hint / indicate that you intend to take Legal Counsel as the matter has some complexities -

  Also hint / suggest that the lawyer would accompany you at any meetings with them AND that you will record the proceedings for purposes of Transparency.

  Wife and I threatened with lawyers - and we have a lady counsel friend who is chomping at the bit to get involved - and they have yet to pursue us again - but we are totally shunned al the same [but not entirely by all ......very interesting developments in our case]
  

  HQ wont be pleased with the fact that they sent a letter ! You have a black and white document now.

  Meticulously record everything - written and verbal !!!

  Where does the "lady" involved here feature in matters [IF you don't mind me asking that]? Is she your accuser?

  Update: Got my Judicial Committee cancelled

  original thread here.

  update: so, after the meeting i had with elders a few weeks ago as outlined in my original thread, they met as a body and once again called to tell me that after considering my case they still thought a judicial committee should be held against me and asked to be there "thursday at 7:30".

  all of this, i remind you, because of posting coc on facebook.

  The Elders book came into the public "domain" at the ARC - so it is actually available to all ! And you discovered it while reading the Transcripts of the ARC [which are available on the internet ] ....................not so ? !

  "if you are a young person you need to face the fact you will never grow old in this system of things.. why not?

  because all the evidence in fulfilment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years...as a young person you will never fulfil any career that this system offers".

  may 22 awake!

  1969 was a memorable year for me - I was growing Pubes and the girls became curvy and a bunch of older kids in the US had a huge Festival at Yasgars Farm !

  Memorial Services

  by penny2 in

  2. friends

  all jw memorial services i've been to have been similar.

  a couple of sentences about the deceased and then it's all about the religion.

  very impersonal and scripted.

  Yes that's about it!

  Keep eulogising and open remarks about deceased to a minimum and personify the outline to make it sound like this is specifically what the deceased believed.

  Absolutely boring - Unfortunately I had to attend a Memorial Service for my beloved M-in-L 3 weeks ago and although the speaker was very big friends with Gran he hardly made any mention of her truly magnificent record of "fine works" and acts of love toward her fellowman.
