I guess with winning in the legal arena, the question remains, well he win in the court of public opinion. I think the Catholic Church would be crazy to reappoint him.

Drink and Zoom, No Smell No Tell
by 2+2=5 ini’ve been at work with some jws over the last week.. i was conversing with one jw elder who mentioned having a couple of drinks after work, on the evening of a zoom meeting.
he said he never drinks before a meeting, but did this occasion.
this jw is not a heavy drinker, he’s very moderate compared to most.. this got me thinking about the other jws i use to associate with, who were actually drinkers, blokes that would drink 8+ beers, when it’s gone out comes the scotch or vodka.. i think they’ll be counting the sober bro’s on one hand at these meetings.

Keeping everyone on the hook
by hoser ini’ve always noticed that the local jw leaders like to give as little notice as possible for local meetings and expect you to drop everything and rearrange your life to fit their agenda in.
i’ve noticed this more during the pandemic.
we are not given the codes and time of memorial until a couple hours before meeting.

Based on my observation in my locality, it appears to be more a case of eldurrs who are self-important, egotistical, pompous-ass, puffed up with pride.
Just as I side point, and I apologise if I go off topic. I knew an elder who’s nick name was Charles the hit man Glendenning and he lived up it. He was a right Nazi, pompous, arse.

I have to say what a fine and comprehensive piece of work. The people here have certainly done their home work. This would rival jw facts in its research and findings. Well worth a read.

by joe134cd ini’m just curious to know the local attendance figures for the memorial.
my father told me they had an attendance of 140. not flattering for a cong of 100 pubs.

Obviously I was wrong. So, what was it like in your area.

Need help - How do you determine whether to show a JW the truth or not?
by AlainAlam inhow do you determine whether to show a jw the truth or not?.
now some of you still believe in the bible.
to you the answer would be obvious - we preach to anyone as much as possible.

This reminds me of a situation that happened locally, where a couple were DFed for apostasy. However, the problem occurred with looking after the unwell aged parents of the DFed couple. They were situated the closest to the parents, so if there was a medical alert they could be the first to render assistance. The concern was would the PIMI elder father notify them first if there was such an emergency, or would he opt for the other (none DFed JW) sibling, who was a 40 minute drive away. It was also of concern about the standard of care because the her brother and wife (care giver) now lived one and a third hour, round trip, away. It turned out to be very messy. All because of opening their mouth to the wrong people. It kind of makes me so angry that lawyer in Canada who argued in court that normal family relations remain in tact when member is DFed. I say BS to that.

I was just thinking of the judicial cases that I have heard on you tube. More often they have been the result of a comment such as “wt is a false prophet” to a PIMI recipient who didn’t take kindly to it. How much different things could of been if the JW had come to apostate and asked.
As is the case of my aged father. It is just more practical to keep my mouth shut for the sake of his physical/mental health. I also choose to refrain from revealing my true thoughts on the org to other members of the congregation, as it would also impact the type of care I can give him. For example I can take him to the hall, and they can come around and visit while I’m physically there with no problem. Been DFed, and particularly for apostasy, would just be an added complication I just don’t want to deal with.
