  how do you handle them?

  i mean, sometimes they write things that are really hurtful!.

  do you just ignore them altogether?

  If you don't agree with someone, then just tell them, but don't resort to rude tactics.

  exactly! enough said I think.

  An apology from a JW................................

  ...................who was a witness at my judicial comm.

  any of you that know me also know i was df'ed because an elder had an outcome in mind, and that was to keep me quiet about a pedophile in the congregation.

  he was partly able to do that by using a sister (friend of mine and also another elder's daughter, who was on my jc)by getting her to incorrectly quote me as slandering the pedo's ms brother to her.

  G'day jwfacts,

  I was hoping you'd be able to share - really glad you have it mind.

  As you know, this has special significance for Mrs Ozzie and i - we really hope the local branch come down hard on this one - it'll really show our dear ones the truth about "The Truth™".

  Keep in touch.

  Cheers, Ozzie

  P.S. hope things are well with you and yours.

  Mrs Ozzie and I are VERY interested in what stillajwexelder reported in his thread today Why I will NEVER be an elder again when he reported:

  So the PO confirmed what many on this board already know. At latest round of CO to Elders meeting, the CO quoted from the Society outline. Any elder or MS who encourages college for his kids or others or who allows his children to go to college will no longer qualify.

  If this is translated to the Australian scene, we are very interested to know how it 'pans out'. As you may guess, we do have a vested interest in this as we are sure that several of our JW relatives downunder will be under extreme pressure to comply, yet their words will be seen as incongruous (hypocritical?) by the R&F. In particular, we wonder how one relative will present this material in the congregations that he visits as a C.O.? Oh, we'd love to know!

  We hope and pray that this will prove so uncomfortable for our relatives that it causes them to look with 'eyes wide open' at what the WTS truly is, a controlling cult.

  So, impatiently perhaps we are anxious to have some verification of this in Australian congregations.

  Post any news. Please.

  any elder or ms who encourages college for his kids or others or who allows his children to go to college will no longer qualify.. he then asked if i was going to take the cos encouragement and reach out again to be an elder and get my hours on the ministry up.. i replied "i will never be an elder again - i strongly approve of further education and college and have been through college myself.

  Wow, that is incredible. I would love to see if we can get hold of any official document ie "letter to elders" that states as much.

  I second that! Anyone help?

  Here in Sydney I would have special interest in this. I know, for example, of one prominent travelling O/S who would be compromised on this one - I wonder how he's handling it when he does his C.O. visits?
