But that's just it. They have no reason unless someone is lying and gossiping. But then they should be coming to us if they have a complaint against us and we should be able to have our accusers come before us as well.

Got a phone call today from a couple from our ex congregation. He was visited again by two elders(one in training) again. Third shepherding call within two months. They never had one in thirty-five years but now the elders are on a witch hunt. They were told that they were seen with us and wanted to know what do we talk about. They told the couple that we have been questioning the fds by asking a question about Michael and Jesus. Then they said we weren't df'd nor have we disassociated ourselves from the org and that they were still allowed to say hello to us if they saw us on the street. They said we have been saying negative things about the congregation which is a lie. I feel they were hoping that the couple would say yeah we know and then they would have a case against us. They are slandering our reputation.
When we first came to this hall we had found out from one of the elders that the cobe had gone to our last hall wanting details as to why we were in this hall and brought the filthy gossip back from there to the body of elders here. Even though we came with a good letter and a good recommendation from the co to use us. I called him on it and he was embarrassed that he got caught and asked who told us so we told him the truth. Now they are pulling this shit again after we've been out of it for a year.
Tomorrow I will be putting up no tresspassing signs so incase they do drive in and pull shit on us with a jc, then after they leave I will have them charged with trespassing. The co comes in two weeks so now they are after us. Not one shepherding call nor a phonecall for our hours and yet they say we have to come to them. Is this making any sense to you folks at all. We left quietly and they are causing divisions. Noone calls us or comes over. I think they have told everyone the same thing. Two weeks after we were gone they gave a local needs on apostacy. So they plant that thought with everyone making them wonder who and now this bull crap.
The couple asked them why don't they come and ask us if they have a problem with us and the elder said we can come to them anytime. Well we didn't and now their out for blood. This poor couple have been harassed because they haven't gone to their meetings for over two months and yet the elders are saying we have something to doing with that. WE'VE BEEN OUT OF IT FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW!
This couple had already told them that they didn't want them coming around anymore and as soon as they got home from the hospital, BAM! Knock knock and there the elders were asking to come in. All because we were seen with them at a store and spoke for no more than five minutes. What if I threatened them with a lawyer? Slander, defameing ones reputation, pain and suffering ect,,, Would a lawyer even get involved in such crap? All in the name of the org hiding behind god. Have anyone experienced what we are going through? This is a freaking nightmare where we can't fight back or stick up for our rights unless we're willing to get df'd and have our family ripped from us. What a cult and all through two stupid uneducated bums who live off their parents and work parttime with no goals but to run around with swelled heads. What a couple of brain dead idiots.
Any suggestions please

What is your experience when you stop turning in time?
by gingerbread infor the past year or so, i've been turning in just one or two hours of service time.
it has been mentioned to me from an elder "friend" that i'm never seen at any meetings for field service.
i get his implication.

I'm starting to believe that elders are not allowed to ask for your time since its suppose to be volunteer. Noone came after us for our time and its almost one year now and that suites us just fine.

Hoser, if they said that then they are the worlds biggest liars. We were there when six guys from Germany that were NOT jws were instructing bethel boys how to program it and put it together. That was part of the deal. Society buys the printery from the company and the company would fly out these WORLDLY men to assemble and program. I had asked if they were brothers and this is what I was told.

Canada Zone Visit - April 2013
by Richard_I injust got word of a zone visit for canada in april 2013, think it was april 8 to 14. sounds like its just 2 members of the u.s. branch comittee, no gb.
however, they plan on showing a talk on april 13/14 to all congregations in canada, not just a select few as has always been the case.. it'll be the same old stuff, but maybe this is why they the watchtower is purchasing all those projectors, like that "confidential" document mentions?
to broadcast things like this in all congregations?.

Heard that Abraham and Nabel were both quite rich and gave it all over to Jehovah. If that's true, I see something down the road coming like give us everything you own. Donate! Donate! Donate!

If this isn't the most fear I've ever seen ever! So, are you telling me that GB/FDS gets raptured up right before Harmegeddon? What happened to helping those through the great tribulation? Where are the words great tribulation on the charts? I can't imagine the elderly widow trying to figure this out when they don't get help now. Get everyone scared so they are out in the ministry out of fear NOT telling anyone about this special little gem. No wonder they had to draw picture charts.

Jeremiah book study material for this week makes a horrible point!
by stillin inwhile discussing how jeremiah was an encouragement to some of those around him, and how christians today can likewise be encouraging to depressed ones, the book plainly says, "when it is appropriate, offer encouraging words.
you will not have a divine revelation to offer to the one needing encouragement, yet you can include positive thoughts from the word of god, thoughts that focus on what the future holds.".
i'm sorry but this to me seems to be what is at the core of the problem with witness friendships.

Since when do elders even bring a bible and read scriptures out of it? Do they even read their own SCRIPTS from their publications? Your need even allowed to bring up bible amongst yourselves without being told you take your bible too serious.

Must have been that era or something in the water. My first time out in service and the PO's wife said the same thing. I said look at all those beautiful mennonite kids and she said yeah, too bad they will be destroyed at harmegeddon. I said why would you feel that way and she said big rats have little rats. That's just the way it is. I was shocked and hurt. People are not rats!!!!

If anything I can thank society for giving me all these different emotions(feelings of a gutted out fish/a dead stuck pig)that I never thought I had as well as thanking them for the emotional and physical abuse I went through caused by them. I wasn't even aware of society's agenda now knowing what their definition of conditional love means. I wouldn't be where or whom I am today if it wouldn't have been for all that "love". I'm a much better person for it. It answers soooo many questions as to the abuse me and my siblings had to endure from jw father. Explains why jw mother took her life and why none of the family have anything to do with each other.(horrific memories) Explains why I had no children but will give the shirt off my back to the underdogs. I think all of you would agree that there's no other people that are more compassionate and careing than all of us for what we've been subjected to and for that I am thankful. Have a good life now and time to move on Wish all of you the best in your journeys.
