CONSCRIPTION - a load of Shite anyway !
Name one 'honourable' 'righteous' 'worth laying down your life for' conflict on Earth today ? Or one country that deserves the honor of having its citizens lay down their lives ?
In my case we were shipped off to 14 months detention in a Military Prison - looking back it was an amazing experience [even if I was in the cult at the time]~
I was not coerced - I detest the taking up of arms [period] ...a Rite of Passage for me.

Were These People “Demonized” or Simply Mentally Ill?
by minimus init seems that every congregation had a problem with people being affected by the demons.
looking back i have to wonder was it that more people were emotionally or mentally unbalanced?
or they simply off their medications or were they in need of meds?.

Back in the 60's encounters with Demons was quite the fashion - but in all the ones I witnessed the people involved were really not doing well mentally.

Dunedain - Ray Franz articulated that point beautifully in ISOCF but JDubbery cannot see that as the Kool-Aid produces myopia.
In the comments section of the Journal [ below ] the JW's commenting are having a field day sprouting their defense of this mans decision - Needs some input from the ex-JW community please .....................

Parttakers
by Freedom rocks ini was reading another thread about the new gb member and it got me wondering if anyone knows someone who partook of the emblems at the memorial even though they knew they weren't 'anointed' just to see what reaction they got?
did they get questioned by elders?
did people start treating them differently?

I attempted to ask members of "The Remnant" all the WH- questions regarding their anointing and on all occasions they deflected away from telling me except to quote a well-used reference in a WT which tried to explain that it was like receiveing a personal letter from a father the contents of which would only resonate with you and not be fully understood by others ~ Go figure~ I thought they would be open and willing to share such a glorified experience..

I concur with Simons comment here however it has taken me a few years to get there. be
Involving an Attorney just a day before they were to meet in a JC "with or without" me which put the brakes on the whole thing was very empowering and healing. The legal letter contained a threat of action if anything was done to besmirch my or my families name etc .
One year later my status remains "untouched" but totally shunned of course .
Having said that I am due to meet with one member of the hierarchy this week - at his request to just "chat" to me.
I shall let you know how this pans out. I will be asking the questions and not the other way around.
Dont hand them your power !!

Letter from the Minister for Legal Protection
To the President of the Second Chamber of the States-General The Hague, 12 December 2017
With this letter I respond to the request of the Standing Committee on Justice and Security of 24 July 2017 to comment on the reporting in daily marriage about the handling of sexual abuse within the Jehovah witnesses.
Sexual violence is unacceptable and has a major impact on the victim. The cabinet considers it very important that victims of sexual violence have access to the right care and support. In particular, if cross-border sexual behaviour occurs within a dependency relationship, I see an important task for the environment to accompany the victim to the right help. The victim deserves support from his environment in reporting the incident to the police and in seeking help and support, so that the violence stops sustainably.
Employees of my ministry are on 2 November JL. In conversation with a representation of the board of the Jehovah witnesses. In The interview, the Ministry has highlighted the important role of the environment to support victims of sexual abuse. It is in the interests of the victims that they are encouraged to seek help from specific institutions such as safe home and sexual assault centres and that they can report to the police.
It stressed the additional safeguards that could promote a climate in which victims seek help. The measures taken by the RK Church in response to signals of sexual abuse, including the independent investigation carried out by the Commission Davis, have been mentioned. With this independent investigation, the Davis Commission has made an important contribution to restoring the suffering suffered by victims. The Jehovah Witnesses have been called upon to implement the measures taken by the RK Church (prevention) Study and where possible to take over. I also pointed out to the Jehovah witnesses to the various bodies which have been set up by the Government for the provision of assistance to victims of sexual violence. The Board of Directors has been given information about the working method of safe home.
During this interview, the board members of the Jehovah Witnesses have indicated in a first reaction that there are witnesses within the community of the Jehovah to prevent and address abuse. They also announced that victims are being encouraged to report to the police. In the interview, it was agreed that the board of the Jehovah Witnesses, in response to the examples mentioned by the Ministry, will further identify the measures to be taken to prevent sexual abuse within their community as much as possible. They will also indicate the way in which victims of sexual violence are collected within the community and how the referral to aid and the police are proceeding. The board has agreed that early 2018 will be a follow-up call.
In that conversation, I will also have the news in newspaper Trouw 28 November 2017 involving the recently established Foundation reclaimed Voices indicates multiple reports of sexual abuse within the Jehovah witnesses received. I understand from the news that the board of the Jehovah Witnesses has now indicated that the conversation with the foundation wants to go. The foundation will also be invited to a conversation with the ministry officials.
The Minister for Legal Protection,
S. Dekker
