  So what you're saying is now thier nice to you and talk with you? I would think after the convention the exact opposite would be in order.

  The Elders want to meet with me and the hubby... Lol lol lol

  by Sevan in

  so the elders called wanting to meet with me and my husband.

  most likely because i told a concerned jw friend of mine that i really care about that i wasn't coming back and a couple of the issues i had.

  i didn't bring up any so-called "apostate" information, just told her about the australian royal commission and that there are a lot of unscriptural teachings and that the gb apply scriptures that are about jehovah and jesus to themselves, which is idolatry.

  My daughter has real health problems and my wife was trying to raise some money to help us get her treatment. A few people in the hall donated but very little except for a couple of her close friends. I didn't really care as most jws are poor anyway but the elders, not one donated crap!!!

  It is absolutely galling to me that my wife submits herself to this madness

  i've tried to get over this, i honestly have.

  since i stopped my kids going to meetings, things have gotten a little better.. but knowing the content of the convention programme that she was subjected to on friday, it amazes me and greatly annoys me that she goes back for more, today.

  for her to sit there watching those crazy, fear mongering bunker videos.

  I have heard from a JW spy that's in bethel that it's about the toes of the statue in Daniel and that they because of new light now believe they the toes do actually represent something and that they will tell us at the annual meeting. But in order to find out one must be an approved JW in good standing and invited to be apart of the annual meeting.

  Brother & Sister-in-Law Return to Kingdom Hall After Two Decades, Quickly Get Stumbled

  by TMS in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it was a mild surprise, learning that a brother and sister-in-law had began re-associating with jehovah's witnesses after at least 25 years of being away.

  the couple, of hispanic ethnicity, are in their early 60's, with their five children all grown and independent.

  the family had been considered nominal jws, infrequently attending meetings, rarely in field service, but using the annual convention as their family vacation.

  i just saw this on the link below.. https://youtu.be/tigp4huuigy.

  the question that's raised is.

  why would wt want to use a 3rd party in order to recieve donations.

  I agree with what was posted above. This move is designed to hide money from attornies that will be suing them over pedophila . Dispite what has been said on other threads the only real fear the cult has is of people leaving and thier money being taken away via lawsuits.

  Could we use the new shunning guidelines to our advantage?

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to new, officially published guidelines, jws can now shun a person who has not been disfellowshipped from the congregation.

  i see this guideline being abused by many jws who have an axe to grind with a fellow jw.

  for example, let's say sister peinindiass rubs sister sensitive the wrong way.

  The new guidelines are to shun unrepentant wrong doers. This is designed to alienate more people that are not in the cult. To many inactive faders are waking up jws so this was put in place to try to stop the bleeding. The simple fact is most faders are shunned by non family members anyway .

  I also agree with breakfast, If they shun you then no way should you ever let your children visit them. Tell them that Jesus teachings were in no way as evil as the cults when it comes to treating non believers or those that found out thier religion is a lying abusive cult.

  I often think that I should have never left , faked it and worked on getting my family to think for themselves and be better people then the cult would make them. Teach them better values from the bible and real love. Also the real history of the religion planting seeds all the time. You have to way your options and see what will work best for you. This is a long war were battling and thinking about and planning the long strategy is what it's all about .

  The cult wins when we're emotional, react quickly, etc. play the long game and chances are better on our side. If one is dfd or dAs then your cut off so your influence is minimal for the ones still in. You'll be able to maybe Influence your kids and maybe a mate but unless a JW is willing to talk your not going to help anyone else in the cult, that's the reality.

  Judge sanctions WTS - $4k per day penalty for not producing sex abuse documents

  judge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.

  imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.

  by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.
