I know 2 of the Elders on the Ray Franz JC

by James Jackson in

when i read coc, i was stunned that the 2 elders (theotis french & rob dibble) were on ray franz judcial committee.

i have known these men for over 20 years having done rbc and convention work with them.

they are still elders today which means they were in their early 30's(which is unheard of for a case of this importance to have inexperienced elders to sit on) on this committee.. without revealing myself, i have never tried(but have wanted to), ask them about their on having to judge a former gb member.. then out of the blue, about a year ago, i was mentioning how hard it is trying to get younger ones to volunteer to one of these elders, and he says"this is nothing compared to to sitting on the committee that had to disfellowship ray franz".

They were puppets...who were the instigators?

Something Big is Coming...

by notsurewheretogo in

the annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.

"at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".

Beards......the CO allowed this one!

by punkofnice in

a minny man in a local congregation has a beard...he was bullied by the elders to remove it.. then the co came along and told the elders to allow him to keep his beard.

(not as the result of any skin condition or anything).. i kid you not!!!.

what do you make of that?.

I hate when they separate the sheep from the goatees!!

Congregation Pledge Disgusted Elder

by rrb2016 in

at the meeting the other night, the elder who had to read the announcements, which included the $$ info for the new donation arrangement seemed downright disgusted as he read the announcements and asked for the vote.

he said, "well, here is another organizational change" as he read the letter about the discontinuation of the 2nd meeting during co visit.

then after they voted, he said if you have any questions ask this other elder as if he wanted nothing to do with it.

Need some help from you guys

by bobert in

so recently i've been preparing to move out of my parents house, and i've been seeking social assistance.

at my appointment, my social worker asked me for references to people who know about my situation at home.

i know probably nnone of you guys know me too well personally, or my home life, but i know all of you guys have been through similar situations.

galaxie

Bobert ;..you have mentioned, social assistance and social worker.

Social workers in UK are usually assigned to specific situations, ie personal problems relating to self or family situations.

Perhaps you need to be more specific as to your need for help from those on this forum.

Do you for example need support to corroborate certain behaviour negative to you being unable to remain in your home, ie jw attitudes and religious discrimination which makes it impossible to remain at home?

Unfortunately if this is the case apart from sympathetic understanding empathy for your plight, it is probably those that would have first hand knowledge of your situation that would hold any sway with your social worker.

I wish you a positive outcome.

How do you feel ethically about the Governing Body?

if something terrible were to happen to the members of the current gb would you feel bad?.

galaxie

Just had a conversation with a jw at the trolley/cart.

Me;..you have a strong faith in the organisation being that you believe its led by the FDS.

He;...I wouldn't say I have a strong faith as their not a perfect org'.

Me;...so when as you believe jesus chose them by inspection in 1919, would you say he knew most of their teachings at that time were not only wrong but absolutely contrary to scriptural teaching as the consequent changes to understanding of these teachings has changed ?

He;..eh well do you believe in god?

Me;..I'd like to hear your opinion of the organisation which you believe jesus chose to represent jehovah and provide the proper food to his people on earth?

He;..do you believe in god?

Me;...please check jwfacts.com to find out what kind of organisation you say you dont have a strong faith in.

I hope he does!!

For those who have been out for 5 years or more.......

by Phizzy in

jw
friends

........... do you find you are now far more relaxed about things ?

things in general, and things wt/jw related ?.

i find i am much more relaxed and pragmatic about life in general, mrs phizzy and i do what we can, but we don't get overly upset at what we cannot do.

galaxie

I've been out for a long long time, apart from immediate family issues I'm very relaxed and generally happy with my life,

I still have freinds who have left the JWs and we can socialise without discussing much about those old days.

My resurgence of feeling I wanted to re engage with JWs has been the appearance of the trolley/cart lazy, smug blasé hand outstreched come and get your salvation here approach to ' spreading the good news ' I feel I always have to give them some ttatt to think about, and then just bid them good day.

the thought that at one time I might have participated in that activity is so foreign to me now brings a great feeling of satisfaction as I walk away from their little stall of delusion.

Best wishes.

The problems Bible believers have with Atheists is the burden of proof is on the Believer and we just do not have enough proof.

by booker-t in

i recently posted a post telling this board my athesit coworker stumped me with questions about the validity of the ark story and i just cannot stop talking to her.

i love hearing her side and point of view which in the past i would have dismissed as "satanic" thinking.

she has some very good questions and i am having a hard time answering them.
