I have called Bethel myself and they have taken names etc and they do nothing it is just a way to shut me up. At first I honestly thought they would do something but I was so wrong. It is just so sad they just do not care. They know only too well this is going on.

this is a true story.
it's about a sister named henriette venema.
she was a very loyal jw.
Thanks on the way out. This religion is totally crazy and living with a active JW just has been making me feel very crazy lately, I do not know why but it has just been really getting to me now. I thought it would get easier the longer I was away but it is always there when he goes to the meetings and out in service even though I don't in the back of my mind I think will he have another heart attack? I know darn well that who ever he is with will let my husband drive himself alone to the hospital.
It's like every time he leaves I wonder if he will come home, and so much of the time lately he is in such a bad mood when he comes back from being around the JW's. It is just a ton of stress on him.
Oh well such is life I guess.

Yes that would have been the smart thing for me to do and I get that I was just as stupid as the elder was but I was in total shock. It was the first that I had heard he was even having chest pains. All I could think of was to get to the hospital as fast as I could, I know, I know, I know I was STUPID and I totally own that part. But I was in total shock it was my husband, and all I could think of was that he was dying in front of me. I was not at all thinking clearly that was sort of why I was upset that the elder did not offer any help to me in the least.
I know that is asking too much, I get it especially asking for support from the friends, what in the world was I thinking that there might be any love?

Amazing, it's just totally sick that they allow this.

My husband had his first major heart attack at the meeting and nothing! In all honesty it was his fault as he had told someone he was not feeling well and that elder said conducting the school made him uncomfortable, so unknown to me my husband conducted the school while having really bad chest pains it was only after the meeting that he told me and another elder, which this elder even though he is the major one on the HLC committee let me drive him alone to the hospital and no one expect this stupid elder came up to the hospital.
Oh you will know them by their love. Yep

judge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.
imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.
by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.

Welcome back
i don't see this posted elsewhere, and i don't have the links besides this facebook one.. but here is a 45-minute long bethel talk about the changes at bethel including addressing the hard feelings of people who were given the axe.
basically, everything must change.
we gave remaining bethelites saturday off to do our bidding in "the field" and we give bethelites over 70 an extra day a week off (if you can find any such bethelites).
Thank you I cannot wait to see it all the way through.

in an effort to excuse yourself from elder persecution, you present an argument.
whether at a jc or just in an average elder shepherding call.
most people who have confronted a jc, have tried to explain to the elders about what they know of the org but the incriminating questions always come up.. when confronted with the question, do you still believe the gb is the f&ds?
I was just asked this question and how I responded was would I have not had children even though I really wanted them, if I did not think the GB were being used by Jehovah? Would I have served where the need was great and lived on nothing? Would I have taken a vow of property? etc, the idiot asking me was dumbfounded and said OH sister, sister I did not mean to offend you.
That settled it. I never said I do not believe it now, I just used what I did in the past and he was just did not know what to do with me. I loved it.
