Elders won't tell you who have falsely accused you
by enoughisenough inhaving been a victim of this practice twice, i thought i would see if others had the same experience.

( this was only brought up because when i was pushing for a meeting because of elder mr x adultery , i was threatened somethings would be brought out about me if i persued the meeting.

If the identity of the accuser(s) is being concealed from an accused, the investigation is simply fishing for an easy confession, because if a confession can be obtained, the burden of proof is lifted, rendering an accuser, eyewitnesses and additional evidence to be no longer necessary.
Secularly and scripturally, the accused (if he/she has not confessed) holds the right to know/face the accuser. (Matthew ch18) <edit
If that right to know/face the accuser is denied... then immediately deny the accusation. The case should then go cold and be held abeyance or entirely dismissed.
However, by WT policy, even an innocent person can be viewed negatively because "he should also have a fine testimony from outsiders" 1 Tim 3:7
In some cases, the only path to true exoneration would be to bring a successful countercharge of slander; but in WT world, that option often presents new risks which may not be worth the hassle.

JW video i can't seem to find anywhere
by Benavidez ini've been trying to find a video, but for the life of me don't see it anywhere on jw.org!
it's about a brother who finds some bad information about jws and has doubts but then comes to the conclusion to just trust jw.org and not the news or any other articles.
something about if you wanna find reliable information you have to go "right to the source".

Immediately download and store anything from JWorg / JWwol that you think may be useful now or in the future, because WT is known to bury bones.

Nonbelieving mates
by road to nowhere ina couple of my wife's friends are married to non witnesses.
they say jehovah must have special plans for them.
and that it is a special exception not destruction, alas, they are not attractive so my special idea about polygamy won't cut it.

"For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in relation to his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in relation to the brother; otherwise, your children would be unclean, but now they are holy."

For some of us the threat to withhold privileges doesn't work
Awakening to realise JW "privileges" are not privileges, but a scheme which allows WT to:
- acquire free labour
- control by obligation
- wield fear of loss
WT invents all sorts of fake privileges...
commenting
microphone handling
project food handling
ranks of hourly "pioneering"
cleaning overseer
hospital patient visitation group
fulltime servant
special fulltime servant
There must be hundreds more of such phony privileges in the JW cult world, with mass numbers of JWs pandering to pursue those fake privileges, even making them their lifetime "goal".
WT manipulatively offers these fake privileges, and threatens to revoke said "privileges" as punishment for even petty noncompliance...
This, of course, is exactly what one would expect from "the modern day brothers of Christ"

Booster shots required for Bethelites and special full time servants?
by PimoElder init’s a shame the gov body did a big u turn on vaccines .
if they continue with the rule that only fully vaxed can go back to the hall then i could have stayed on zoom.
but the term fully vaxed is a moving target, if it’s been like six months since your last shot you are just the same as those of us who are unvaxed .

If such mass harm eventually befalls JWs as a result of jabs, WT will spin it as "persecution"... a Haman-like scheme... and thus further evidence JWs are the one and only true religion, in the universe.
