  i remember hearing a long time ago that "apostates" were spreading lies that the governing body members were all rich and had huge extravagant homes.

  is there truth to theses stories?

  if so, is there evidence?

  "Inquiring Minds Want to Know"

  by sandy in

  2. scandals

  one chapter details how the governing body decided that certain conduct between husband and wife in bed would be grounds for divorce and disfellowshipping (formal excommunication and shunning).

  after the edict was issued (the watchtower december 1, 1972, pages 734-736) numerous marriages broke up as a result.

  then, seven years later, the governing body changed its mind and reversed the policy.

  Have We Really Been Lied To?

  by sandy in

  2. scandals

  we were told that the brothers in mexico had been oppressed by the government, so that they could not sing or pray at meetings.

  we were not told that the society had registered as a "cultural" organization because religious organizations were not allowed to own property in mexico.

  as a "cultural" organization, the brothers were obliged to downplay the religious aspect.

  2. friends

  i grew up in the religion and was baptized at.............supposedly the most important day in our lives and i cannot remember how old i actually was, anyways...... i believe it was 13 or 14. i was never disfellowshipped.

  i have a "worldly" boyfriend whom i love dearly, and i no longer attend the "meetings".

  i do not disagree with the organization entirely; in fact i am not even sure if i disagree with it at all.
