NEW video on Youtube MUST SEE! the elder's meeting is ridiculous!

by Newly Enlightened in

brother of the hawk, newly enlightened & gojira, recorded an elder's meeting on 5/7/03.

both does a great job of defending me and making the elders look foolish!.

thank you raypublisher/jj and jwstruggle for the awesome job you did on it.. follow up story was not recorded but we will post it here hopefully over the weekend.. enjoy, it's pretty hilarious how they try to control us and come after me on a work of fiction!.

I wish more current JW's would watch this video. Especially those that have never had 'run-ins' with the elders.

We put up with this kind of crap for the entire 34 yrs we've been married.

Any fellow writer's or copyright lawyer's on here?

i've run into a problem and have some questions..... i'm sure most of you have seen the video on jwstruggle's youtube channel regarding my book i wrote in 2002 and the problem with the elders on getting it published.

well after my contract ran out in 2003, i retained all the rights and they told me that all left over copies would be destroyed except the few legal copies being sold on amazon, barnes & noble, alibris, etc.. so, because of the video someone asked about my book and i said that it was no longer available, they wrote back and told me it's all over the internet.. come to find out, a large canadian publisher bought out my original publisher in 2007 and 'accidently' downloaded the original file onto their computers and started selling my book [hard copies & digital] without a contract.. my question is, anyone know what the going asking price for a quiet settlement is for this type of thing?.

i know i'm not dan brown or clive cussler and probably won't get millions, but i don't want to get short-changed either.. thanks.

Yeah, I spent almost an hour on the phone with her yesterday afternoon, I guess she's going to write a nice letter and explain to them that if we file a claim they can be fined up to $150,000-$250,00 for copyright infringement plus have to pay for any damages and my legal fees.

She is also going to request their accounting records for the past 6 years.

Heck I'd be happy with settling this quiet for $150,000-250,000.

Sorry about the misspelling guys, can't fix it now. I've been very upset the past week, not only over my book but we had BOTH of our cars break down on the same day, last Tues and both motors are junk.

See, story of my life. i should change my ID name to 'Just screwed'

Book Of Jasher: Nimrod, Terah, Abraham

by *lost* in

found this to be very interesting.. i had been runnning questions around in my head, why did abraham just up sticks and leave everything, just like that ?.

didn't make sense.

too many holes.

Newly Enlightened

I thougt these lost texts were interesting also. The foreward in the book of these lost texts that I bought, says they were found in a clay jar, just like the ones found with the Dead Sea Scrolls, only buried in field in Egypt.

Ethiopia also has most of these scrolls that were allegedly brought back from Israel by Queen Sheba when she visited King Solomon.

CAN YOU BE AN 'APOSTATE' IF YOU WERE NEVER BAPTIZED?

by Mary in

jw
friends

this subject came up with a friend of mine on facebook the other day.

he was never officially baptized as a witness and i believe he is now a born again christian.. does crooklyn consider someone an 'apostate' if you were never actually a full-fledged member but ended up leaving?

or are you just considered 'bad association'??

Newly Enlightened

OOPS, it was me who posted above, not hubby. Didn't know he had signed me out. It was my little brother I was talking about.

i know it. They'll probably just tell me "Oh we didn't sell any".

That's the story of my life.

Good points all of you. I will keep you posted. I feel like my life is a big circus with Clowns [Elders], Pirates [Publishers] and one disaster after another.

The end of May to the 1 st week of June is usually bad.

Yeah, the president of the publishing co. called me himself and apologized and he was supposed to find out how many digital copies they sold and get back to me, but I haven't heard anything.
