Exposing one's identity. When?

by kairos in

i've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.

( "reaching out", so to speak ).

i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.

I am very confident in myself and my position.

I made it very clear that I will never recognize any of their authority and will never participate in any judicial setting.

They can do whatever they please. As I no longer CARE AT ALL!

There is so much more to this story and I must admit that I am going out of my mind.

I'm a small business owner and am staying put in my town and will engage anyone with facts at this points. I feel liberated.

I can't imagine the legal dept would give them the green light and offer to support them in court.
The truth of the matter is they WILL BE DEFENDING THEMSELVES with their own money to, what, DF me. Brilliant!

Well today is the day folks.

I just told off an elder on the phone after he said "that sounds apostate", "Of course I'm an apostate!"

I live in Napa. Been here for 25 years.I'll be 47 on Thursday.
Attended River Park, Redwood, Skyline and Oak Knoll congs.
Been out for over two years.

Everything is unraveling fast with this AUS RC event.
( Which I told him about and of course he dismissed it. )

He tried to take up a position of an informed person.
I told him that he is not qualified to comment on something he has ZERO knowledge of.
I reminded him that the entire proceeding is being carried over the internet.
He wanted to know how I knew what was being said. Transcripts, streaming and archived video!!

Also, thought he might like to know the entire "Flock book" is online for PDF download as part of their legal pack of exhibits for the case.

I called him a "MFer" ( I used the real word at the top of my lungs ) next because he still wanted to defend the WT policies instead of recognizing the impact this is having on the victims. Doubt if he has ever had that happen.

So... that happened.

( ps, lurking elderz or sneaky reporters: Only pursue me if a media frenzy sounds fun to you )

Just wrote my DA letter....

my wife and i planned on fading but the elders now want a shepherding call and we are just done.

i know that many play the game to try to stay in, but i'm not a game player and neither is my wife.

our families already shun us because we reached out to a disfellowshipped family member.

I think I might prefer the: "Never contact me again. If you do, I will pursue a restraining order and take legal action against the local body of elderz" approach.

Saturday, Elders response to Royal Commission

by umbertoecho in

on saturday the elder and his wife turned up.

i have my reasons for not turning them away at the moment, at least, not until the completion of the rc.. i asked him about his thoughts on the rc.

he said that he thought it was easy and nothing to worry about.

kairos

When elderz start going to jail, he'll start whistlin' another tune entirely.

JW EXPERT WITNESS FLOORED BY COMMISSION OF INQUIRY LAWYER

by steve2 in

much has already been written about dr monica applewhite, the expert witness hired by the jw organization.

her job was to provide "expert" testimony to the australian commission of inquiry into jehovsh's witnesses' policies and practices on child sexual abuse.

astonishingly, dr applewhite was unprepared for the inquiry lawyers' questions.

kairos

Let's just be glad the elderz were appointed by holy spirit and not men.
Things would really be bad then...

Oh, wait...

"So did the Holy Spirit get it wrong?"

by stuckinarut2 in

in the australian royal commission, the issue of appointment of ministerial servants and elders came up for intense scrutiny.. using the elders books and society publication references, the prosecution questioned the premise that "holy spirit directs appointments".

the question was proposed as to whether this "process was accurate or was it flawed" seeing as many appointed ones were in fact not very righteous, or "spiritual".

indeed, the issue about "spirituality" was also raised, and the definition of what makes someone "spiritually mature" in the organisation's eyes was raised.

Everything coming out of the ARC ( Aus Royal Commission ) is like a movie unfolding. This is nearly too much to believe.

Things are different now. Years ago if you missed a random news spot, that was it.

Now these proceedings are archived for instant viewing... FOREVER!!!

Ah, patience.
