I really need some help

i am an ex jw and happy.

my sister is an ultra jw married to an elder.

my non jw grandfather just past away and my sister has said for the last 15 years that she wanted nothing to do with that side of my family including me and especially my grandfather.

Any scriptures or articles that may make her think about not taking the money will prompt

her to seek guidance from her congregation's elders, who will quickly tell her that she's

entitled to the money since there isn't anything legal saying she's not entitled to it.

Since when has the WTS turned down any money? Nope, the more she has the more

likelihood that some of it will go into their coffers.

"Rand Cam", James McCann, The Watchtower Society And Their War Effort.

Well, I just don't get it... The owner by total shares has dedicated the Watchtower Society as

beneficiary but retains control of the shares and the voting privilege that comes with them.

So how is the Watchtower Society supposed to get rid of these shares? It can't sell them,

and the real owner is holding on to them.

Someone with better business savvy better explain what's going on because it seems like

the company owner is just trying to associate the WTS with the company whether they

want to or not.

What's really going on?

I don't think it's right for you to use abusive terms like that

about a man who has had serious health problems.

It's very uncaring and very low class if you catch my drift.

I don't like many of the policies he and the rest of the GB

may have made but I don't want to personally call names

and insults, especially to someone on life support.

T.RonWood, you're really hillarious!

Rather... What if, you were telling us a bad joke, and no one really listened to you???

Sorry, but reading the post then looking at its peachy avatar with it's brain hanging out and

that absurd look in it's, uh-hum face-like part was just too much. Great-grand children? You

must not be a JW or you'd be thinking the Big A would have come sooner than that.

by your answers, i can tell you did not even read through it, or you did without using the eyes and ears given to you ..

Yeah, well the eyes and ears given you on your avatar really make you look laughable. It's

not so much your joke-blog but your holier than thou attitude that comes through on your

posts above. Go get a gravatar bud, it would do you some good, unless that's the way you

really look... Oh holy peachy-preachy one.

Divine Retribution is On The Way!

imagine that you are....an ex- [insert religious organization here].. you no longer believe in the hocus-pocus rituals and you can see that many stories from scripture have been twisted and mis-told.

you can see where agendas of power and control have been derrived from these teachings, using guilt and 'obligation to god' as a means of extortion of your time and money.. imagine that you suddenly lose your job; then you cannot pay the mortgage.

in the midst of all that you find out your child has a terminal illness and you have no health insurance.

Dear Cameo-(religio-paranoi)-d

RE: 'I have been through anguish' - DEFAMATION CASE AT WEXFORD CIRCUIT CIVIL COURT

by cattails in

he said he had not met adam ballard for a number of years.

adam also conveyed the details and accused me of raping him in navan and other places.

it was also supposed to have happened in some woods.

cattails

The allegations are just soooo weird, that the elders must have had some dislike of the accused to

go to the point of defaming him without much proof.

In this board there's often a complaint about the two person rule the Society came up with in cases

of sexual abuse etc. But... in this case it seems these two elders went the other way and with little

but the story (incredibly strange story) of one person proceeded to defame another JW.

What's your take on the story... is it good to have two witnesses before making a big inquiry or

should someone be persecuted and accused on every strange hear-say that comes along.

Maybe some people actually believe to be true happenings whatever they themselves

conjured up in their minds. Maybe there's some psychological reason. Maybe it's like in the

Salem Witch trials where people got accused and hanged on another persons word.

Maybe the article is too long to interest anyone else on JWN to read it fully then comment.

Thanks MinisterAmos for your reply post.

Going to skip this years Memorial for the first time.

i'm already being stalked by the elders, thanks to my wife.

they had a "shepherding call" for three hours while waiting for me to come back to my house.

if they're that determined, i'm somewhat concerned about their reaction to what i'm going to do.

Shoudl I just bite the bullet and go, risking being cornered at the Hall, or just blow the whole thing off?

If the situation is as you say, then what do you have to lose?

If you are a Christian believer then go, partake and let that be your sign to them

that they don't own you. Your owner is the one who bought your salvation through

his blood. Go and make a rememberance of this fact for all to see.

When the elders do catch up to you tell them that you did what the Scriptures say

for you to do and that you aren't going to any secret behind doors meeting because

that's not what Jesus said "do this in memory of me". Answer no more questions,

disappear for a while let the waters calm down, the hounders will find another

entertaining haunt and next year go back and do it again, brother.

If you're not a believer in Christ, just blow them off, scrape the dust off your

sandals, and tell them you've got other issues to deal with and if you need

their help you'll call them.

Seize the day! Partake!
