ks10-e (official release), Letter from Bro. who scanned it! Newer version with BOE LTRs

by yknot in

while an earlier version was made available privately the time has come to 'progress'.. conscious class and ex both strongly adhere to not keeping things 'hidden' in regards to wts publications, talks and documents which are circulated in order to maintain it's position.. another wonderful poster (who has yet to give me permission to name) has 'reduced' and 'bookmarked' the first full copy link i was given by our 'winner'.. in this newest and final 'clean' copy link you find two other additions besides the reduction/bookmarking..... the brother who uploaded the entire book wishes all to have a copy that includes both boe ltrs (pre-ks ltr and spiral binding ltr).

also another development has occurred.... the brother responsible for this book being brought into light and put forth for public consumption and discussion has requested i post this letter explaining to 'us' (jwn posters/global audience) and 'them' (wts of penn & ny).. i ask you give attention to his words/ experiences as he is representative of a newly emerging demographic within the conscious class.

so without further ado i give you his link and the 'stage' if you will to 'brother johnson'....... [link removed - contact ynot for further info - lady lee].

Dear Brother Johnson,

I read your letter with great emotion.

I do understand why you want to stay and help the battered sheep.

The congregation is fortunate to have you. As least they have one real shepherd in among the sheep dogs.

Hugs

we all talk about the negatives about the ugly face of the watchtower that i thought i would start a 'happy' thread.. what are some of your favorite non-wt quotes?.

here's a good one to start:.

you cannot be, i know, nor do i wish to see you, an inactive spectator.

the courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference."

I was wrongfully Disfellow shipped out...help

in 04 i was brought before a comitee of 3 elders and admited to sex before marriage, given my situation at the time i fell short, i showed repentance for it and they said they were going to recomend i leave for awhile to find myself spiritually...(wow the only time they got one right) i did find myself spiritually through other means.

now i have a question since i no longer want to be a part of this organization and i was cast out from it, shouldnt my records with my personal information be destroyed?

if its in a file that i do not want to exist?

yesidid

Privacy laws differ country to country.

In the US it would be difficult to get them to destroy information, in the UK the laws are much tighter and you would probably succeed.

The article verifies what I have always thought to be the case:

It has nothing to do with intelligence!

Those who say Jehovah's Witnesses are stupid should read that article.

Joel P. Engardio's article on JWs (Washington Post)

jehovah's witnesses: a model for church and state begin blogger thumbs end blogger thumbs by joel p. engardio.

if i'm ever allowed to legally marry, my mother won't attend my wedding.. i'm a gay man and my mom is one of jehovah's witnesses.

to remain true to her faith, she can't in good conscience be part of a same-sex marriage celebration.

yesidid

It is very obvious that Engardio was never baptised. Had he been pressured into a young baptism as many of us "born ins" were, he would be playing a different tune.

As a young baptised witness he would have been disfellowshipped, thrown out of the family home and rarely spoken to again.

mission accomplished!

my wife and i held off the announcement and were able to attend my bil's wedding & reception this past weekend.

Well done SBC.

Your letter must make at least one of the elders think, at least one.

I feel sorry for your father. He will spend many hours sadly remembering how he treated you.

You will have sadness too, but not from a guilty conscience.

Hugs to you and your family.

Believing JW's , do you agree with anything Debator says ?

by wobble in

i ask because i threw down the challenge on another thread that if any agreed with debator/reniaa's apologetics in any area would they please post so that we can see where jw's are correct in their teachings.. nobody supported deb/ren's points.. i do not ask for a list of "correct" jw teachings, just where is deb/ren's correct presentation of wt/jw beliefs that stand scrutiny and are truth.. if there are none then we do not need to engage in any kind of talk with deb/ren..
