    DttP said: I believe the bit on "destroyed records" deals with Members who committed offenses prior to becoming Witnesses if they showed they were re-adjusted over an extended period of time.
    I say: bwahahaha!!! Think about that for a minute... no, wait, just a couple of seconds. WHY would a JC have notes on a MEMBER regarding what they did before they were a MEMBER that needed to be destroyed? No, this is referring to destroyed records from JCs on offenses committed by congregation MEMBERS, not pre-members, or not-a-member, or never-been-a-member-but-might-be-someday.
    And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the level of logical thinking it takes to be a good JW.

    SOL i know you really know what your doing, asking questions about things you know are wrong with the org..but what about innocent people who happen upon information such as the dateline program? seems like you just mentioning it and your other questions automatically bring on the " APOSTATE" word.

    its just sad that questioning things condemns you to death in the eyes of the elders.

    i dont have the wt cd but i'd be interested to know the wt's view on the catholic churches repression of questioning their authority! i bet the wtbs condemned that!!

    Thank-you for the ever so polite correction. I was unsure about what records were being referred to, I mis-understood that part from the other thread. In the other part where the hand-written words "very rare" appears I see the context clearer now.

    Anyone have any actual info on what circumstances constitute these "very rare" occurences? A time period, or the like?

    In my opinion, elder #2 was on to you from the start, probably having been tipped off by elder #1, and/or your past conduct.

    If you want to be more successful, you need to adopt a persona. You need to convince the elder of your sincerity so that he will let his guard down, then you can get them to say all sorts of whacked crap. You come across as confrontational, and smart. You want to come across as non-confrontational and stupid. My advice is to get ahold of some Ali G, especially his old school stuff, and study it like you once studied the watchtower. If you REALLY want to jerk someone's chain, Ali G is about as good as it gets.

    607 Elder clearly doesn't know his stuff. 'You've got all the information, look it up" (translate: 'I never really understood it but 'I've been convinced of it' and they've written a lot of books about it so it must be true')

    "That's the information we get in the watchtower then it's good enough for me"

    Dude, take his advice: if it's not good enough for you, then go somewhere else. Because this guy is onto you. I mean, he is a moron so the aeons will pass before he takes any action, not wanting to have face any questions he can't answer, but he's got you in his book for sure.

    Eeeeew, he's just wretched isn't he? It just makes my skin crawl listening to him just pull facts out of the air, not needing any scriptural backup. 'You have to be in good standing, you have to know who you are'. What a moron.

    Thanks, it's moments like these I'm glad I'm on the other side.
