  Has anyone heard anything about Elders being a separate entity and WTS not helping them in court cases legally?

  by Newly Enlightened in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just heard a rumor and trying to verify it.

  a current jw just told us that the elder's are now a separate entity and that when brought into court hearings and they try to use the 'clergy confidentiality clause' that the wtbt$ backs off and says the elders are their own separate entity.. anyone heard anything like this?.

  I haven't seen this persecution on JW.org

  by Newly Enlightened in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  http://www.forum18.org/archive.php?article_id=1792.

  this makes me so mad because they're appealing to this forum18/osce [u.n.] to get their religious freedom, but look what they do to their own people.. i just got an e-mail from a friend [current jw] he said they're 'softening to a kinder gentler wtbt$' really????

  obviously they haven't told the all the other jw's because we're still being shunned and called nasty mentally diseased apostates.

  Discussion with family member who is an Elder in our congregation

  by Newly Enlightened in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so about a week ago, i showed my cousin & her husband [an elder in our congregation] the picture on pg 29 of our 4/15/2013 study wt and asked, "if jesus is head of the congregation then where is he?".

  after several minutes of searching, dead silence.. i then asked if they had heard the part on the 2012 summer district conv the part about "our spiritual mother, where the c.o said that "the bible by itself does not shine thru as life-giving truths just by itself.

  " they were shocked and said that i must have misheard it because that would be apostasy.

  One experience in our old Kingdom Hall that still HAUNTS me

  by Newly Enlightened in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the following is a true experience and my daughter gojira101 will verify that it happened to her.

  an experience from our family's past that still haunts me and started my questioning whether this is the true organization of god or not.. my daughter, who has always been a good kid, never gave us any problems [she's an adult now] started regular pioneering.

  within a few weeks of her starting, she fell on a steep hill and tore open her knee and had to have several stitches.

  I've just been 'Outted' by my own sister

  by Newly Enlightened in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i thought that we could just fade away peacefully, but i guess my mother told my sister that we no longer wanted to be jehovah's witnesses so now all hell is breaking loose.. .

  it's a relief tho.

  i feel really sad and upset also, because my mom lives with my sister and now has been forbidden from contacting me or vice versa.
