DECEPTIVE JW ELDERS - CASE#4b
by Amazing indeceptive jw elders case#4b .
but jesus called them to him, and said, you know that the princes of the gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
my son-in-law said that the young jw man arrived and stayed a while, started to watch the movie, but then left.

DECEPTIVE JE ELDERS - CASE#4a
by Amazing indeceptive jw elders case#4a .
the following case#4a through case#4 (whatever), are a number of events that personally happened to me where jw elders deceived or deliberately lied to me or members of my family.
they are not necessarily written in order of events nor necessarily connected to one another, but they all had an impact on my decision to leave the organization:.

To: Englishman - Anointing
by Amazing inhi englishman: you asked, "amazing,a question for you before i hit the hay.
reading your posts here and on h20, it's obvious to me that you have some exceptional qualities of insight.
could it be that it is this insight that prompted you and others to believe that you were of the "anointed"?

DECEPTIVE JW ELDERS - CASE#2
by Amazing indeceptive jw elders case#2 .
appointing spiritually qualified men to take the lead and serve as elders and overseers has been a feature of watch tower congregational organization since about 1972. jws were told in talks at conventions, in literature, and finally in the two versions of the organization book that the biblical criteria is used when elders meet to consider some men for appointment as an elder.
jws are also told that these qualified men are already appointed first by holy spirit, and then as the congregation is lead by that spirit to recognize them, the elders meeting is a confirmation of what god has done.

DECEPTIVE JW EDLERS #1
by Amazing indeceptive jw elders #1 .
on h20 i posted a justice series with 12 judicial case experiences for the purpose of showing how decisions are made, and to highlight the poor training, lack of education, and often the incompetence shown by watch tower appointed elders.
even those of us with a measure of secular education were often untrained in essentials of dealing with peoples personal and emotional problems.

PEDOPHILE UPDATE - SUICIDE
by Amazing inas i mentioned in my opening post yesterday, my family is requesting a low key, so i am being a bit skimpy on some details.
but, i decided that some details can come out because they will help you see the impact and seriousness of what this crime causes.. .
my son-in-law (sil) told me very recently that when his paternal grandfather learned of the news of his son's arrest (sil's dad that is), he became very distraught, and killed himself.

ARE AVERAGE JWs DECEPTIVE?
by Amazing ini ask this because on this and other forums that have a large share of former jws, our stated experiences and encounters during and after our jw membership seem to reflect that the wts and its body of believers are most corrupt.
likewise, those never associated who read our posts may get the impression that even visiting a kingdom hall may result in serious negative events.. i believe that it is important to remind everyone that the average jw is a generally good person.
most try to live good lives, act on their beliefs, and promote what they feel is the truth.

JW Pedophile Hits Close to Home
by Amazing inthis is brief because family members have asked that i remain low-key for the present when on public forums regarding this specific case.
i have provided greater details in a private forum.. many of you may recall my justice series on h20 where i dealt with the issue of pedophiles among jws, often drawn from my experience as an elder.
while serving as an elder i did object to the failure of elders to report pedophiles to the authorities.
