I asked if my lawyer could attend even though I didn't have one. They got back to me and said no. I'm sure they got the exact wording from the CO or legal/service dept.
So I like a fool went to their kangaroo court session where I was asked if I had any recording devices to which I said no, and told them they are hold a kangaroo court with all this secrecy stuff, to which a elder told me the no recording restriction was for my protected privacy to which I just laughed with scorn.

Why not just show up with one
I suppose that would work but you might save some money my way. My way you save the lawyer cost unless he's working pro bono in that case bring him along.

And see what they say. They will come back to you and deny your request, ask them to ask the Service Department to get organizational procedures. If still denied refuse to attend with out your lawyer present. And then ask them who has fairer judicial practices Satan's world or Jehovah's earthly Organization.
No recordings allowed, and Definitely no lawyers! A kangaroo court with hanging Judges for those who speak negative things about the Holly Organization.

I suspect we shall here more things like this in the future. Now that the internet is happening and mass communication is cheap. All future leavers of the cult should get as many email addresses they can for their grand finale exit if it ever happens and you want people to know why.

The "Whole World" was flooded??
by stuckinarut2 inso, jehovah's witnesses and many other biblical literalists think that the "whole world" was flooded during noahs day.. they take the "accounts" in genesis literally.
so that means that areas as far away as australia, russia, argentina, greenland, antarctica were all visited by noah and his family to gather animals and preach before it happened right??
they then took everything back to the middle east to board the ark...uh huh.... yet, the same expression in the bible for the "whole world" is also used in the account about the "worldwide famine" in josephs day!

JWs and other bible literalist interpret the Genesis flood account as literally covering the whole earth as we know it in the 20th century. Which is simply not the case when it was written. Back in those days they didn't know the earth was a sphere orbiting around the sun. So when in Genesis it says that the waters covered all the earth even the highest mountains it simply meant as far as the eye could see the flood waters covered it. They weren't talking about mount Everest, and the entire globe of the earth covered in water. Everything was far more local and mode of travel was very slow so people didn't go traveling a lot in those days just your local trade routes and such with no maps and no cameras to take pictures to show people back home what other places looked like their was a lot of ignorance about things we take for granted today..

Will The Governing Body's Shunning Policy Backfire On Them Eventually?
by Brokeback Watchtower inwe all can agree that the disfellowshipping arrangement benefits the wt corporation by keeping the indoctrinated in servitude, make members afraid to doubt the corporation's teachings and explanations because they can be disfellowshipped for saying anything negative about the corporation or it's ceos or not agreeing with some new light.. but what about negative effects caused by the harsh use of disfellowshipping to the corporation, what could they be?
it's a two edged sword..

I guess that could be a response of a seriously indoctrinated person that managed to climb the corporate ladder all the way to the top position by his loyalty to corporate themes and willingness to take insane drastic action to fight sin where ever he finds it. Might classify as a psychosis brought on by delusions of grandour, being out of touch with reality and focusing on what his imaginary Jehoova find disgusting.
These concepts of the GB can lead to all sorts of screwy behavior, where even the sight of some handsome male Jehovah Witness wearing tight pants brings about a lusting and a shadow projection of a gay community plot in the fashion industry to get more eye candy. These guys are all spoon fed indoctrinated members expect their nuttiness to become even more pronounced. When all you got is a hammer to work with everything looks like a nail.
Disfellowshipping is the hammer, they have no healing tools in their bag of tricks so every things just looks like a nail.

Relative rates of mental illness
by Doug Mason ina report produced 50 years ago by a psychiatrist at a west australian mental health facility ("asylum"l reported that the mental illness rate among jws was 3 times the norm of society.
other similar studies at the time concluded the rate was much higher.. i wrote to the psychiatrist at the time, asking whether the wts attracted people who were already susceptible to mental illness or if the situation was created after the person became a jw.
he responded that they did not know.. being myopically focused on the wts at the time, but more importantly belonging to an alternative eschatological apocalyptic body at the time, i did not think more broadly.. i think that today i would like to know:.

Bad coping skills for sure. Belief in a cure all for every form of human suffering that's never gonna happen based on wishful and magical thinking and a host of cherry picked factoids causes one to operate with a not full deck.
You know subjecting a bunch of people to corporation slavery though the use of guilt and fear propaganda got weaken the human psyche to make it more prone toward mental illness or improper functioning. Bull shit in means bull shit out. Feeding one's mind on WT propaganda can actually make one shadow a living nightmare, cause one to really lose tract of himself and only identify with his persona, and dump a ton load of shit into his shadow causing more and more mental problems as one gets older in years.
These people are feeding on what ever utter bull shit the Governing Body and their helpers can dream up. That pure unadulterated bull shit in and so when it's decision time and what these people do will all be governed by the bull shit they took in and expecting Jehooper's help and not get any, they will suffer lots of disappointments which they will be in denial of while repeating corporate slogan's about loyalty and obedience to a murdering Jehovah and his earthly organization.

Yes I think such actions are ridiculous and the person needs to get a life and stop taking this political stuff so seriously I say debate to your heart content but don't consider people your enemy because of political beleifs. Being such an extremist is never good no matter what party get's your vote.
