this is becoming more common.
this is from the last part of the article: .
"this was about sexual gratification and you are a hypocrite because you became an elder and you investigated a sexual matter even with this in your sexual background.".
Perhaps this girl came forward because she had heard off the ARC, and wanted to protect others... In the past, many would wonder if they even had a chance to be LISTENED to...
Now, as society/ courts become more aware of the harm that comes, and more people, in general, are voicing their concerns, the time for reform may be here...
We hope, cha ching
comments have been made suggesting that records about child molesters within the watchtower society are held in congregation files indefinitely.
what would your understanding be on this subject after reading the statement below?.
.. "letter should be sent within one week.
Thx Atlantis! Thx Wifi!
Good find! When elders "step down" or are "removed" they (the rest of the elders) want the Shepherd book back! I am not sure what would happen if you "just said no"? I guess you could say that "you lost it" ;-)
this is a facebook link and i just can't bring myself to dig into jw .
org and find it.there's no trick here, but i think you have to be logged in to see it.
if anyone could figure out how to repost this, that would be great.

What I would love to see is a bunch of exJW's surround this guy (and others like him) and just laugh so hard when they say these stupid things, I would love to see them face REALITY!
Usually, JW's are just talking to JW's....Everyone knods their heads... This guy just has a video camera to talk to... It won't talk back to him, he cannot hear the audience laughing. Is everyone nowadays just thinking, "Can I keep my job? Can I make it to Warwick?"
a new montra that was recently adopted by the wife and i is this:.
dont give them more power than they deserve.. here's why i say that, and i point this to those of you still in the congregation, still trying to decide what you want to do.. recently, our family had a little family reunion gathering of sorts, and we were in the company of some extended family that were either df or da, to varying degrees.
we made it very clear, to any and all in attendance, that we wanted to be respectful and kind, despite any previous perceptions about our "status".... and that our feelings on a lot of things had "softened", and "changed" over the last 2 years.. i am being purposefully slightly vague, but i think you get the point.

Good pic OutLaw! Haha! I'd rather read the humor here, on this board than EVEN HAVE TO THINK about "preparing for field service"
Yikes, my brain just starting hurting soooooo bad when I 'glossed over' that pioneer school meeting! Ahhhhhhh, run away, run away!
Can you believe we use to fret over such things? Yikes!
I am so glad my brain is free!

my middle brother called me a couple of hours ago.
our youngest brother, josh, who was 38, was found by his friends in his apartment.
he hung himself.
music and art have been a big part of my life since i was a little boy, and although i was never able to play a decent guitar, i can paint.
my art teacher from college said " i was the most imaginative and constructive pupil she had ever had.
" i loved that comment, because in translation i realised it meant i had to work harder than other more naturally talented students, but the effort was always worth it.
PUNK! You rock! so talented! Glad you made it out to be your true self! We would love to see you and Flipper play together!
Music is so fun! My art? dancing to the music!
Maksutov, you also play beautifully, love your guitar, and what a great artist, video composer also!
i was just thinking that the org has said lots of outrageous things over it's history and most jws just continue onward without a second thought.
so my question is what do you think would have to be said from the platform or wt to get people to get up and walk out immediately?
is it even possible?
