  The "Green Handshake" refers to the Circuit Overseers visit to each Congregation, that during his visit, many Elders will hand over cash (gifts) to curry favor with the CO in the way of getting Assembly & Convention talks and various positions on the Circuit level or in the Congregation.

  Introducing myself

  2. experiences

  i have been introduced to this site by my new friends that are helping me navigate through the reality of waking up and finding out that i have been lied to my whole life.

  i grew up in the truth and have given over thirty years to this organization and the few years i wasn’t there my mind was certainly trapped.

  the more i think about it i am really not that surprised there was a lot along the way that should have woken me up but it took till recently.

  a european jehovah's witness, who served in an important branch, has sent me the following rumor.. some serious sources are mentioned.

  it clearly shake my perspective of what is going to happen in the coming months.. i'm totally shocked !.

  the law firm managing all the interests of the wt has studied the problem in europe on data protection and actions on files and protocols of child abuse.

  One of the last KM Schools that I attended as an Elder, we were told that "Each Elder has a million dollar liability insurance cap provided by the Branch, as long as you follow direction correctly".

  I wish I kept mine, it would make it easier to win arguments. Most of the Witnesses today rely only on what the Org puts out. The Online library only goes back to 2000(whitewash the past) and most people won't believe " what comes from the Internet ". Their own publications is their own worst enemy.
