Library now cleared out
by UnshackleTheChains inwell, it looks like the axe has finally fallen on our kh library.
during a deep clean of the local kh, a brother suddenly informed everyone 'whikst cleaning' that all the old books including bound volumes of the watchtower etc was to be chucked in the skip.. from what i heard, some were taken aback by this and quite annoyed that no announcement was made; that no one was given the choice of taking some of these books home to keep.
i mean the entire collection of studies in the scriptures and others that go back an entire century.

Active JW's: If asked, can you explain/defend this belief?
by The Fall Guy inas all jw's and awakened ex-jw's know, the very existence of the religion is dependent on people's belief that the "holy trinity" of the wtbts, the ccojw, and the governing body (aka the organization) were personally selected by god/christ.. 1) mr. rutherford claimed that this divine choosing occurred circa 1919, and that all anointed members were personally chosen by god/christ to be the faithful slave.
2) in 2013 this long-held, "profound scriptural truth" was discarded by apostates in brooklyn (the present-day governing body) when they personally decided that only gb members were chosen by god/christ to be the faithful slave.
(wt july 2013, p.22, par.

Didn't they change the fds again and said it only materializes when the gb members come together to discuss something. I thought they did this for court appearance. Yet they also claim they are not directed by holy spirit. And didn't their in house lawyer claim it was only an entity? She said that right in court. It was on this site that I read these. Maybe someone can find it

Do You Ever Wonder Where Certain Posters Are?
by minimus indo people simply leave because the site has given them what they wanted?

I often wonder what happened to The Searcher, Mary and Leola and Outlaw. These were the ones that could biblically go up against the org's doctrine and that's what got me out. But this site has changed. Not so much of that anymore and a whole lot more of arguments. Sad for any lurkers wanting out. Hope these ones come back

Do you believe in the faithful and discreet slave?
Friends
We are a happy family
World wide brother hood ( like sisters don't exist)
Stick close to the hub (meaning elders and a whole lot of label licking suck ups)
And now brother so and so who is an elder/ pioneer serving in so and so congregation. Everytime they would introduce a brother for his next part at an assembly. That is where they forgot the scripture do not let the right hand know what the left hand is doing. Do not go boasting before man scripture.

Do elders still ask inactive members to write a letter to disassociating yourself from the Congregation?
by RULES & REGULATIONS indo today's elders ever meet with inactive members and pressure them to write a letter disassociating themselves from the congregation stating that, ''you no longer wish to a jehovah witness"?.
i was baptized at the young age of 16. after turning 18, i stopped attending meetings, field service, and all jehovah's witness activities.
i wanted to be with my high school friends, go to rock concerts, have a girlfriend, and live like a normal teen.

I had called Bethel in Georgetown On and told them I no longer wanted to be a member and the brother told me I would have to write a letter. I told him no I don't and that I will do it my way. He asked me for my name and what congregation I was from and I told him. A week later my name was mentioned from the platform. No one can make me do anything I don't want to do ever again!

This is sad for the entire family. I cannot imagine what all of them are going through at this time. His sister knew how we got the boot out of the org and still wanted to remain there for me so she would email off and on. Now when I want to be there for her and her family they are not picking up their phone or replying back through email.
How sad for Courtney and his wife Helene to think the last picture in their mind of their mom and siblings will be all their sad shocked faces. I sure do hope his sister who was there for us would also be there for her brother and his wife.
I want to thank you for the pm's and all the kindness and generosity at this time. One had mentioned setting up a go fund me however I would like to know where and how they are doing before that is done.
Again everyone thank you for your love, something we never learnt when we were jw's.

Please please contact us by private messaging us. We didn't know what to put this under so sorry in advance but this is why we are here. Courtney was a CO serving in another country when his father was dying. At his father's funeral in Waterloo, On Courtney got up to say a few words like the rest of his siblings.
On goes the screen and then Courtney starts off with how his niece was raped years earlier by someone in the org. She had gone to the elders but was told to keep quiet. Not long after she was wrongfully df'd( no doubt for not keeping quiet). He then went on about how the org was hiding things from their followers such as the pedophile problem and the payouts. Letters to CO's only were also on the screen and then a bunch of elders came running up to the platform to shut off the screen and shut down the mikes.
This all took place on Dec 1 of this month in Waterloo, Ontario. If you are reading this please private message us. There were over five hundred at Clarence Clarke's funeral along with many on line from coast to coast listening. It's too bad this happened at the fathers funeral however the family has been put through hell in different congregation throughout the years. No doubt Courtney has seen a lot and told to keep his nose clean and not be able to help the lowly ones cries.
We never know why or how things come about but when one snaps under pressure we can not judge that person. Right after this was done, a local needs was given in surrounding halls and they really smeared Courtney's name saying how it was all lies and to expect this from within the congregations. Then they read Acts whatever to verify the incident.
This man would have lost everything from the time he was up on that stage and forever. I sure hope this was all planned out a long time ago and there is someone out there for you Courtney and Helene. You family doesn't live far from us so if you need anything and your in the area like I said please message us.

Farewell Liberals - Doug Ford Wins in Ontario
by Simon inthe conservatives have won in ontario and the liberals who held power there for 15 years crashed so hard they didn't get enough seats to even retain official party status.
people are sick of them and the mess they make!.
hopefully this is the start of a wave across canada that will sweep the liberals from positions where they can do harm, ending with the king of the clowns, trudeau..

Had to laugh on BBC how Ford's widow is taking his brother, Doug, to court over bad business. She claims he took the family inheritance money and put it back in to their sign business that was losing a pile of money. Not off to a good start. We'll have to see how this all fairs out.
