the whitewashing of tm111 from jw history continues - tending to confirm that he was booted.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ghbhv6961a.

i'm pretty sure the cult got him to sign a nice nda - in exchange for a lifetime residency in the house bought by wt..

Gage Fleegle has just about as much charisma as my limp dick! 😉

If you really want to be reinstated Sue it will happen - you may need to be patient.
When I was pioneering I studied with a young lad.
He married an elders daughter and became an elder himself in his thirties.
After about ten years of marriage he and his wife confessed to premarital sex just once before they got married.
He was asked to step down as an elder and they received a private reproof.
A few short years later he was made an elder again.
A few years after that he was made the presiding overseer/coordinator of the elder body - he still is many years later.
So there is definitely a way back if you want it - I just wouldn't hold much hope for confidentiality as the guy I studied with would surely die if he realised EVERYBODY knows all his private business....

..his remaining patrons must either be morons, morally debased as himself, or somehow remain in the dark about his behaviours and haven’t yet encountered his true self.

What the Elders Book Actually says about Suicide and Judicial Hearings for Disfellowshipping
by EasyPrompt in

2. scandals
"the shepherd the flock of god elders’ manual had instruction to take notes, sign and file them in judicial cases where the accused threatens suicide.

this instruction was removed in 2020. pic 1 is 2019 version, pic 2 is from a 2020 edition.

it remains the same in 2023.

An elders daughter claimed to be suicidal and also appealed her judicial committee's decision to disfellowship her near were I live about ten years ago.
Her father was a strict elder who strained the gnat for everyone else except his thoroughly spoilt daughter.
I asked him why she was appealing - he said it was because she could, not that she had any grounds.
I asked about being suicidal - he said of course she wasn't but she may get off on this technicality.
He said she was too valuable as a spiritual asset in the congregation to be disfellowshipped.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
Unknown to the judicial committee, she was also shagging three or four other 'brothers' regularly at the time this was all going on...
Her elder father was a complete disgrace who made everyone else's life a misery with his strict, exacting rules.
A classic pet line of his was: 'If you haven't been on early morning ministry you can't go on the congregation bank holiday day out.'...what a complete hypocrite/tosser he was!!!!

Jws getting drunk
by Farmer Jim1 in

2. friends
has anyone got any good 'jws and alcohol' stories?

i always found it amazing that so many jws got blind drunk at parties and got away with it!

i suppose alcohol was the only fun thing we were allowed to partake in....
Ron.W.

I found one jw elder in the gutter blind drunk in a road near me. I bundled him in the car - he was absolutely smashed and took him home.
A few days later his wife rang and tried to berate me for taking him out and getting him drunk.
I politely but firmly told her I had nothing to do with her husband getting drunk - I had merely stumbled upon him lying polatic in the road on my way home.
She then had to apologise and eat a bit of humble pie and thank me for getting him home safely.
His shepherding calls to me after that were very sheepish indeed!!!
