Regarding MAD APOSTATE
by silentlambs ini wish to make a comment on something that disturbs me deeply to the point i cannot let it pass or be ignored.
a little over a year ago i resigned as an elder to protest wt policy and how it hurt children.
the impetus that brought me to that conclusion was a child i knew personally that was in danger.

Former Elders and Friendly Fire
by jst2laws ini fought many years from inside as an independent spirit trying to change or at least mitigate damage done by the wtbts.
i met ted jaracz, in the early 1970s when he was called into bethel to serve on the gb.
this mans control of the service department and the gb is what i have fought for 3 decades but recently conceded this system is beyond reforming.

Devaluing People
by Magog inis it possible that when we see posters get upset, and then leave, that they feel devalued by the group?.
when we leave the witnesses, are we not devalued as apostates by those who remain witnesses, some of whom are lifelong friends?.
could it be when we find a place like this, we discover again that we are valued, so that anything threatening that sense of belonging hurts too much as a reminder of our exit from the witnesses?.

whipping or not whipping?
by Julie inin light of the bru-ha-ha we recently endured over what began as and elder culpability issue gone awry, i thought i would present some words of wisdom written some time ago on this very board.
apparently some poster had had a visit by some elders and had felt ganged up on.
he described this as getting a "whipping", much like we have seen recent allegations of someone here being recently used as a "whipping boy" for another poster.
