Went to a bigger screen and got a chance to read your letter. Wow…and I can sympathize. I was before a JC in the late 80’s. I wasn’t baptized yet, but it was before the “un-baptized publisher” arraignment. Anyways, I told them what I did was wrong and I wanted help. I, at the time, was very sincere. I fully believed in the “truth.” But one of the Elders on the committee either didn’t like me or my family. My father was DF’d at the time, so we were outsiders anyways. And he wouldn’t listen to anything I said. I sat in the room a sniffling crybaby, feeling all guilty. Lot of good it did, at the next meeting I was announced as “bad association.” I bet you remember, at the time, that was the same as being DF’d. Then came the doctrine change in 89’ and all of a sudden I was ok to talk too. So I know what you mean, being sincere in front of a JC. I believe many of the Elders involved, enter the room prejudiced in some way or another.

Name Some Trivial Things That Are Big Deals To JWs
by minimus inso many things come to mind to show how silly jws sound in reality.
for example, being allowed to pass the microphones is a big deal, especially to a young brother.
or being given the "privilege" of cutting the grass or working on a "quick-build" is really something special to a jw.

What's Old is New Again
by 95stormfront infrom the notes of "incognita"......... i was doing a little comparing of the new book "what does the bible really teach?
" and guess what?????????????
the chapters are identical to the knowledge book-------------this book was printed in 1995--------so they had to disguise it with a soft cover and change the name for 2005. our posters are wondering what the new book contains, well here are a list of the 19 chapters just like in the knowlege book, but worded a little different....................new light------hum-bug......... .

I would have to go ahead and let them. I have already wasted enough time and energy to even consider playing with them. Once that chapter is closed I don’t want to re-open it.

It’s going to lay out confirmed archeological evidence the Jesus died on a cross, and how he died, not blood loss but most likely a pulmonary embolism. Should be interesting to see the evidence not for a cross but evidence against a stake. It the very least it will cause some to question.

This takes balls....
by chrissy in...and considering i don't have any, it is surprising that i found the nerve to post my photo as my avatar!
i was leery to use my photo thinking someone i knew could catch on to my new apostate antics.
so, i couldn't decide what to use.

2 JWs Sent Registered Letters For "APOSTASY"
by minimus ini was told that 2 "anointed" witnesses that had recently (on the night of the memorial) picketed in front of the kingdom hall were sent registered letters inviting them to a judicial committee meeting.
the husband had told the elders when they first called last week that the elders should call off the meeting because his wife had once again had major tremors and had to be hospitalized due to being sent the letter.
and that the elders should realize that they would surely get legal action against them if anything happened to his wife.

This is interesting. If they anointed, then they are part of the FDS. They have just as much right to make and\or enforce “rules” then does the GB. What right do the Elders in their hall have, who are not part of the FDS, to tell them they are wrong? This just shows how fake and transparent the whole thing is.
