Watchtower's April 9 BOE Confidentiality Letter - Child Abuse - Did Jane Doe lawsuit play a major part?
by SweetBabyCheezits ini'd bet my left.... pinky toe that the wt's monster 4/9 confidentiality letter was put out as a direct result of the jane doe/candace vs wt case as they were preparing to go to trial.
there had already been a year of legal proceedings - surely the wt knew the shit was about to hit the fan.. thanks goes to atlantis for posting the boe letters originally as pdfs.
the person that a restraining order is a personal legal matter that does not involve the congregation.. thereafter, the elders should call the legal department immediately for direction..

Love You Guys - Thank You - You Saved Us
by headisspinning inhello to all my jwn friends.. it has been a long while since i posted but it's only because all of you helped us so much.
i recently directed a facebook friend to my very first post on jwn - high profile case seeking reinstatement - i cannot believe how far we have come and i attribute much of it to the help and support we received from all of you on this website.. we are really not hiding our ex-jw status anymore at all.
i think we have many of you on our facebook as friends at this point.

Through The Grapevine Report on Recent Circuit Assembly
by headisspinning ini just got a call from my 'faded' sister who still has the 'pleasure' of having contact with our jw family.. my mother called her and said that she and our dad had their circuit assembly this weekend and apparently a governing body member gave a talk... that seems very odd to me.
do governing body member usually speak at circuit assemblies?
maybe it was a branch member?.

My Husband's Kids Have Cut Him Off
by headisspinning inwell, my husband's worst fear has happened.
he told his kids, ages 15 and 10 that he was coming to visit them over the holidays.
his ex-wife limits his telephone contact to one call per week, so when he called them last week to arrange the specific days he would see them, his son told him that he got baptized back in september and would no longer be willing to see his father.. this came as a complete shock.

Congregation Coordinator Disfellowshipped
by headisspinning inmy sister just told me that the congregation coordinator from my last hall was recently disfellowshipped.
his wife passed away within the past year.. all i know is that the first announcement was that he was no longer an elder.. and then a while later that he had been disfellowshipped.. he was quite prominent in the city where i live and he has been specifically named on this website at least once - if not twice.
specifically, there was at least one post by 'dogpatch' where his name was mentioned.. just thought i would share..

Kicked Out of the Kingdom
by headisspinning inwhen i was little, i remember my mom reading this book - 'kicked out of the kingdom'.
then she told me it was bad.
so of course, it always stuck in my head and i'm wondering if anyone has read it or has any background info.. funny that she read that, hey?.

Read This Book: Crisis of Allegiance
by headisspinning inwe already read crisis of conscience which was incredible, but if you are canadian, you need to read crisis of allegiance.
my husband knows a lot of the players and if you're an ex-canadian elder you probably will too.
he is just riveted and i can't wait to read it next!.
