  What are your experiences having Jehovah Witnesses work for you or you work with?

  i've managed several thousand employees in the last decade.

  i've had a handful that identified themselves as witnesses.

  from experience, they were no different than any other employees.

  My sister was invited to a Judicial Committee

  today i called to my sister and she told me that two elders went to her house to announce her that a judicial committe is waiting her in the kingdom hall this friday.

  she told them that she will confirm if she will go.

  however, i have told her that she shouldn't go, instead she should ask them to write a formal letter, with signatures, asking her for which charges she should be submitted in a private room with two men (or three?

  The use of the word "invitation" is notable, it implies the ability to respectfully decline with no negative repercussions. This is clearly not honest.

  Remember Those in Full-Time Service (1945 - 2015)

  the saddest story ever told.

  despite being childhood sweethearts, in the year 1941 they decided to postpone marriage and remain single and childless in this system so as to put the the theocracy first, albeit under the control of the watch tower society.. in the final pages of the children book john and eunice walk silently through the fields and stop by a great tree on the river bank where they had sometime before discussed their future plans.

  the young lovers seat themselves down and look over the landscape.

  JWLeaks, Are the quoted paragraphs from the Children's book or are they satire?
  

  Since you didn't cite page numbers it's unclear.

  Those cartoons from the jw.org website are creepy.

  Let's review: It's a cult!

  It's not a court case and these elders have no power over anybody!

  This conclusion is not entirely true. They do have the power to DF a person and end all relationships with other JWs.

  Wonder if they have them sign a confidentiality agreement ...
  

  Is the Pope Catholic?

  Is Anthony Morris the Third homophobic?

  Wikipedia is not a reliable source
  

  Wikipedia says so itself. Read the article.

  People need to learn to use primary and secondary sources that are reliable.

  WP is a tertiary source compiled by anonymous editors with many unqualified sources.

  WP can be helpful sometimes. Look at the Sources and References at the bottom of a Wiki article. Those are occasionally useful.

  so i have gotten into arguements with my wife in the past about this cult.

  now a days after reading steve hassan books...i just try and avoid anything jdub with her.

  try to keep her in authentic mode..(not sure she really has one).

  Ask her why is it that the Apostle Paul made his living as a tentmaker (Acts 18:3) but none of the GB members have jobs?
