  Heart-Warming Story.

  in 1986, peter davies was on holiday in kenya after graduating from louisiana state university .. .

  on a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.

  the elephant seemed distressed, so peter approached it very carefully.

  They started in on it being a "command" to attend meetings. I told them that if it were a "command" they would be having hundreds of committee meetings a month for all the people who don't attend. When they came down on me about it I answered it this way, "Jehovah knows my reasons." I told them my reasons as well. The whole Pedo thing etc. and then I said that Jehovah said, (James 2:13) . . ."For the one that does not practice mercy will have [his] judgment without mercy. Mercy exults triumphantly over judgment." Then I declared that I trust in Jehovah's mercy as far as my meeting attendance goes. They were thrown off by that and had no answer. I said its Christs sacrifice that will cover my sin if it is in fact a sin not to go." again no answer. Just have to know how to baffle them with their own BS. Again, when they left it was hugs all around. Silly rabbits.

  I had studied with one of the elders till he became a witness. The other was not an elder when I was. The third was a graduate from the missionary school for couples. I have no problem speaking with them. I know to use the FDS as my authority and not the Bible. I trump everything they say. I have no fear for these buffoons. Thanks for the advice. All hugs around when they left.

  "Hey brother Wasa, come on back to the meetings." (after 10 years) So I respond that the situation with Pedophiles is out of hand. They tell me "we" elders have received tons of training on the subject, its not like it was 10 years ago. They tell me that it is safe and in hand now. I didn't want to rock the boat but simply said, "well, that's good news." No new brochure yet but I imagine they think magic will happen next time when they bring it. I mentioned the new brochure and said I don't need to read it but they didn't follow my reasoning. How would you react if three elders showed up to encourage you? Asshat clowns.

  Accidental Posting of 2015 Release on JW.ORG

  by rosesinbloom in

  2. bible

  a couple of weeks ago someone posted that jw.org accidentally posted the 2015 regional convention release.

  i can not fine the thread now.. i saw a picture of it yesterday.

  a sister had downloaded the pdf and read it that night.. it is a 16-page brochure entitled "return to jehovah", with a purple background.. it has been designed specifically for inactive ones are those who have been raised around the truth but never baptized.

  Everything they do is institutionalized. It has nothing to do with love or compassion. Now when apostates say "No one ever called on me!" they can say, "Well, the GB loved you enough to put out a brochure for you". Sheesh. Such BS.

  My sister's MS husband took a belt to her. I immediately went to an elder and told him and he said it was a private matter and he/they couldn't interfere. I called him "Chicken-shit" and left. Went inactive for a LONG time after that. I should have called the cops.

  wife and i have not reported a single hour of fs in 3-4 months.

  while my wife is mostly doing for me (positive thing), i know she would have rather done it.

  elder asked me to turn in my fs report this past week and then he added... "we need to talk".

  Just tell them you are busy, they will eventually capitulate and say, "well they are a hopeless cause". Of course that is assuming you want to merely fade instead of being DA'd. It will take time and depends on how popular and revered you are. All the best.

  Talking with JW Elders possibly..

  by bradford in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as i wrote in a previous post i have recently written a da letter to the elders and haven't heard anything in the way of an announcement, phone call, or visit since.

  i called the elder the letter was personally written to yesterday and left a vm to call me back which he did this morning.

  he said they did get it but were meaning to call me and possibly meet with me to try and see if there was anything they could do to encourage me because they of course find this very sad.

  It is standard procedure to assess if your letter is sincere and not some sort of expression of depression or confusion. It will be accepted if you do not meet with them. Once you contact another elder to say you stand by your letter they have two witnesses which is ideal but NOT necessary. You sent it and one can say you stand by it. So trust me, you are out just as you requested.
