Has anyone seen the letters that Rod Frances sent to the congregations in Fremont, stating that Abrahamson, Clarke and Lamerdin, "lied repeatedly, intentionally, with "malice" under oath"?
Trey has included a link to them here:

But in a series of 2013 letters to Jehovah’s Witnesses leaders, Rod Francis, who was an elder in the North Fremont congregation in the 1990s when the abuse occurred, accused the three elders of lying under oath.
“None of the other elders, including myself were aware that a child sexual predator was in our midst even though the offender was in my book study,” he wrote. “Because of this the congregation and our own families were unable to be adequately protected resulting in catastrophic outcomes for other young girls and damage to my own family. These three brothers lied in court about this and much more.”
So, during the Candace Conti case, you had three "brothers" sworn in, under oath "So help them God"... to not only tell "the" truth.... but the "whole truth." They swore they kept an eye on Jonathan Kendrick like a hawk, yet Rod Frances, an elder at that time... who had a bookstudy in his home that Jonathan attended, and the REST of the elders serving at that time had no clue that Jonathan was a child molester, as the 'honorable' 'truth teller' JW lawyer Jim McCabe purported at the trial.

What I liked about it was that she was not explicit in details, so that anyone watching could not 'critique' anything she found out.... So, no matter what you were wondering about, any ideas that were floating around in the doubting side of your brain, you could apply her sincere message to yourself. It would give you hope... "Just research"
I also think that many JW's need to hear "enjoy life", you don't need to 'be afraid to research the truth.' If it is the truth, you will only reinforce the truth.
I am happy to hear that their family is on their way to a closer relationship, one that is willing to explore anything that comes their way!
Keep going Keturah & fam!
i started working on this chart 5 years ago.
i didn't think i'd have to update it again so soon.. .
linky in case image doesn't show below.
Great chart! I love the pics included....
What would the Society do w/o the words "Apparently", "Evidently" or "However"?
hi, i m new here and not so good in english, but ive give it a try and hope you understand.. .
the whole idea of the overlapped generation is not only illogical, there are also serious errors in reasoning and how to interpret the scripture.. .
the only "scriptural argument" that the governing body has managed to bring in this matter is exodus 1: 6 where they say that a "generation" can be stretched to cover a longer period than usually meant by a "generation".
*** it-1 p. 28 Abraham ***Family Origin and Early History. Abraham was the tenth generation from Noah through Shem and was born 352 years after the Deluge, in 2018 B.C.E.
(Matthew 1:17) 17 All the generations, then, from Abraham until David were fourteen generations, and from David until the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon until the Christ fourteen generations.
2018 years divided by 42 generations = 48.04 years per generation according to Matthew.... a person who heard Jesus talk about "this generation"......
After Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 CE, did Matthew start thinking,"Hmmmm..... I wonder if Jesus was really thinking back to Joseph's day, maybe this isn't what he was thinking about after all, and maybe it was overlapping generations, and this "destruction" that happened with Jerusalem is wrong?"
70 CE/destruction -33 CE/ Jesus died = 37 years "This generation will not pass AWAY" .....Well, did Jerusalem pass away within 48.04 years? yes

here is the bait:.
as the number of kingdom proclaimers increases and as we near the end of this system of things, there is an urgent need for more facilities.
yesterday, a jwn poster e-mailed me asking if i would post on this discussion board his recent email to steven unthank and also post stevens reply.
the reason for the request is because the poster has need to remain completely anonymous.
i agreed to share the email because i knew you would find stevens reply informative and interesting.. .
Thank you for bumping cultBgone...
What is interesting to me, is that after having seen every minute of that Royal Commission hearing, and all the explanations of WT lawyers, service deskers, anywho-ers saying, "Geoffrey Jackson will be of no use to you", to find out that HE was involved at the beginning of this Steven Unthank thing.... He knew all about it, and sided with the 'Borg.'
How sad, but not unexpected, to have WT lawyers act like cold-hearted, 'we always win', 'you will be nothing' lawyers.
Piece by piece, the evidence shows the WT conglomerates are not spiritual men.
Thank you Steven Unthank for hanging in there!
how many here have been asked the loyalty question by an elder.
i am referring to, "do you believe that jehovah is using the faithful and discreet slave class to accomplish his work?
" or something along this line?.
last night i ran into a former elder friend, he is in his late 70s.
he asked how i was doing and i asked how he was doing.
then out of the blue he tells me; .
I have to agree with problemaddict2.... I think that MOST of the younger "generation" do not know understand or are interested in the old doctrines and intricacies of anything that is complicated or convoluted....
A social club it is...... Especially if they are raised in this psychopathic lifestyle.... Those new kids/ apostates from Canada, who've been making YouTube videos understand the ins and the outs, but I wonder how many really do?

I liked this quote:
"One such group is Jehovah's Witnesses, according to cult expert and counsellor, Raphael Aron, director of cult consulting in Australia, and author of Cults Too Good To Be True. (Harper Collins, Australia 1989); and Cults, Terror and Mind Control. (Bay Tree Publications, California 2007).
Particularly interested in 'shunning', a practice that devalues, humiliates and disfellowships members from their organisation"
