JC = Intimidating Interogation?
by jambon1 inafter listening to a few of the judicial comittees on this site (sickoflies being most recent), you get the impression that in practise it seems to be a clandestine inquistition more than anything else.. i am gobsmacked each time i hear the manner in which these hearings are conducted.
oftentimes agressive & in many ways condecending towards the 'sinner'.
i realise that there are some who may deliberately agrevate the elders and they are only human i suppose, but it all seems just weird.. i suppose i cant quite put my finger on it but after listening to a recording, it leaves you with a weird feeling towards the elders who are leading the comittee.

WT says child abuse can be given up!
by ozziepost infrom the "official" wt site comes this gem:.
for a man who was a child molester before he was baptized, there may be another consequence.
when he learns the truth, he repents and turns around, not bringing that cruel sin into the congregation.

The ridiculers were "right ".............all along
by vitty inhow do you feel, now, knowing that the ridiculers, objectionist or non-jw family and workmates were right.. i feel a tad embarrist, i spent a long time, 20 years, trying convince, or prove ppl that i had the "truth" .
my only consolation was that i would be proved right and that they would end up looking foolish.
pride is a terrible thing.
