Of course you are welcome here. You know the drill. He is an elder and has that stature which he can wield against you. If you have two witnesses of his wrongdoing that are ready to accuse him then by all means bring the info out against the jerk. If not, you are asking for a reverse attack that will get you in hot water. As for your wife and lost wages, you now know to "get it in writing". If its not in writing it didn't happen unless you have two witnesses to the agreement and a way to prove the payment wasn't made. I'm afraid its not very promising. The best thing you can do is choose to fade, DA or be disfellowshiped. Seek peace and ditch the jerk, just avoid his ass if you cannot do battle successfully.

Need Help, what do you do when Elders try to bully you and your family with Lies and threats? I am inactive and hate them now!
by PokerPlayerPhil ini have a elder trying to screw with me because he protects pedophiles and claims they can be rehabilitated.
he's doing his jw attacks while nobody is around because he knows he can lie about me and my family even if there are three witnesses the jw elders don't do squat!
they cower because all the elders are terrified of this bully, he brags about how great his business is but i know so many secrets about him and his wife.

Richard White was mentally unstable. Apparently he went off the rails and attacked the TSA at the N. Orleans airport. They shot him to stop him chasing down people trying to hack them with his machete. He is reported as being a JW. A neighbor says he was against western medicine.
"He was so meek, so mild," she added, saying he was a deeply religious Jehovah's Witness who shunned Western medicine and encouraged his neighbor to use herbal remedies, even to treat her diabetes."
I know that doesn't make him crazy, but, have you found many JW's to be unreasonable about western medicine, viewing it as a plot? and that the "Natural" way is the only way? This brother rejected a transfusion in the hospital. Well, he died faithful right, lol. Sometimes JW medicine deniers seem about as mentally stable as this whack job. Your thoughts?

Memorial Talks
by pontoon inremember memorial talks would highlight the numbers of anointed alive on earth was in a steady decline?
so do they even mention the numbers anymore?
any explanation why the numbers are going up?
-

Wasanelder Once
Short version: Dropped doctrine that door was shut to anointed in 1935/38. Not all are replacements but probably are. Number means nothing anymore. There ya go. They have no problem dumping doctrines they would executed you for not believing previously when IT was "Noo Light." -

Has anybody been guilted/emotionally blackmailed into attending the 2015 Memorial?
by Bucholz inhello everybody, i was wondering if anyone has been guilted or emotionally blackmailed into attending the memorial this year.
something along the lines of "if you loved your family you would at least attend the memorial".
i myself haven't attended in 5 years.

No. They always hope that the memorial, which is the closest thing to a mystical/spiritual experience for JW's, will touch your heart and motivate you to become "active" again. haven't been to one in 10 years. Would rather have my fingernails torn out. -

Who exactly is an apostate?
by SonoftheTrinity inif you are a non-believing relative or spouse who is hostile to their doctrine are you an apostate?
if you studied with them and rang the logical fallacy buzzer for chits and giggles to see how they would react does this make you an apostate?.
if you are a born in who never got baptised does this make you an apostate?.

*** rs p. 34 Apostasy ***
Definition: Apostasy is abandoning or deserting the worship and service of God, actually a rebellion against Jehovah God. Some apostates profess to know and serve God but reject teachings or requirements set out in his Word. Others claim to believe the Bible but reject Jehovah’s organization.
This is the word from the only true Christian Organization. (pfft) -

Please help me figure out my dreams
by Socrateswannabe inhi everyone, this may be the stupidest post ever.
i am stumped for an answer and would love to hear your opinions, though.
every week or two for the last couple of years, i have a dream--or at least that's what i'm calling it--that consists of me waking up or thinking that i've waked up, and seeing the ceiling of my darkened bedroom filled with algebraic equations.

I am no expert. I also have dreams full of wacky images. But I have found that often the way our conscious mind interprets the contents is often more telling than the symbols themselves. You said, "It looks like something from Albert Einstein's chalkboard". They could have come from anywhere but you tagged them as from A. Einstein. It could be as simple as you watched a bio on him or read something about him and it was incorporated by your mind into your dream. What does Einstein mean to you? You mentioned that you "wake up" in your dream though you haven't awakened. When you awaken in your dream it fades to black. So there's an element worth looking at. What does fading to black indicate for you? Give it some thought. Sometimes I wake up laughing at dreams I've had. Good luck! -

Responses like those of the cart-slaves show just how empty their world is. The denial is horrific. The GB sure know how to control the R&F. Goebbels would be proud. Watched the 2 min drill, it was over 11 minutes. It was about 11 minutes too long.
