its all the same the ones at the top always take care of themselves bullying and lording it over the flock
and if your face dont fit they make your life hell.

Higher Education and Disqualification for Privileges in the Congregation
by 00DAD inwhen i was still serving as an elder in the late summer of 2006 in a congregation of jws in socal we received a letter from the "christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses" (read: the governing body) directing that anyone pursuing a higher education would be disqualified from privileges of service: elder, servant, pioneer, etc.
i remember this quite distinctly because i had just received by ba in education in june a few months before this.
in 2002, i had decided to pursue a degree under the society's then current "it's a personal decision" policy and was quite shocked at their drastic policy change.

Practical ways we can assist and improve the lives of jaydubs.
by Holey_Cheeses*King_of_the juice. init's time all you mentally diseased and demon possessed heathen ex-jws acknowledged the fine works being achieved by the brothers.
afterall, there are many here who continue to espouse the ruputed fact that the jws they know, or are related to, are decent, honest, loving persons.. perhaps it's just me, but as i reflect, i wonder, where were all wonderful persons when i was in the cult?
a 'good' jw is a mythical creature, much like their god.. but anyhow, putting that aside - what are some down to earth practical ways we can help the brothers?.

let me be the first to stand up and throw some water on your newly bearded growth to baptise you into another world.
a world of freedom, a world where you are not judged for wearing wrong hair styles, wrong clothes, and dirty shoes, your not judged for the way you bring your children up and how many meetings you miss. your not judged if you have not done your daily bible reading or studied your watchtower, or not gone on the service for one week.
your baptised into the world of a cultless organisation may your beard grow strong, and altho you dont need to make statements, this is a statement from inside you to let you know you are now incontrol.
ps.
let us know wen you have a tattoo (mine is one of a dragon ;)

want to say hello to all the heathens and worldy ones out there
by avesta inhi i dis - assd myself six years ago and only just found this site.. i wished i had found it years ago instead of having to ween off the cult practices i was born into for 35 yrs.. i had a very hard time adjusting and still find some things difficult to come to terms with.. i bumped into a "sister" i had last seen wen i left last week to find out she had left the "cult" as well and is a qualified reiki master and also a hypnotherapist.
i think it is great she can carry on with her new life despite the ingrained teachings of demons.. i have divorced in the meantime and have done so much in the past six years than i ever did in the 35 years before.
oh and i am much more conteded, i have no one over my shoulder telling me i am wrong for this or that!

it dont just happen over in the states here in uk the good ole jws cover things up as well.
baptised brother abused 11 kids was found guilty by the law of the land and guess wat??? he wasnt even disfellowshipped. one of the abused childrens parents who took this "loving brother" to court called in bethel. they were told to forgive. jehovah is a loving god!!!!! and it was covered up a treat they were told not to discuss it with any other brothers or sisters. brushed under the carpet just like catholic priests who love little boys.
