Are ex-dub celebrities shunned, discredited and separated from their families like everyone else or are they given a free pass because they are wealthy, famous and highly visible?

How to raise awareness about child abuse.
by DATA-DOG inhere's an idea.
we know the wtbts fears exposure more than anything.
so what if we made an organized, concerted effort to contact every celebrity jw that we can think of?

I wonder if shunning plays a role in his mental illness. JW, crazy, and shunning ...basic elements for millions of
bizarre but sadly true stories.

PERFECT TITLE : Obsolete building sails heavenward, helping train firefighters
by paulmolark inhttp://www.chinookobserver.com/co/local-news/20150320/all-fired-up-obsolete-building-sails-heavenward-helping-train-firefighters.
plans to demolish an aging church created an opportunity for a multi-agency training burn.. .
long beach it was a sunday morning service unlike any other.. on march 15, a few dozen spectators mostly church members gathered to watch a fire training at the kingdom hall of jehovahs witnesses north of long beach.. the burn was made possible through a cooperative arrangement with the local congregation and fire departments in pacific, wahkiakum and cowlitz counties.

Mind control.
by New day inin a recent thread someone mentioned that the wtbts uses mind control techniques.
do you think this is a conscious ploy?
if it is it would mean that the leaders of my religion (i am still an active jw) set out consciously to control people.

An organization that publicly rebrands their own ''lying'' as ''theocratic warfare'' is likely involved in much worse. -

Attitudes of WT Society Leaders Towards " Rights " of Child Abuse Victims and Elders
by flipper inthese excerpts i'm sharing with you are from the july 1st, 1989 letter from the wt society to the elders and it gives outsiders a good idea of the attitude of the wt society leaders towards child abuse victims and even towards their own appointed elders.
and it shows wt society is first, foremost, and mainly concerned about financial fallout from potential lawsuits.
one short quote was used from this letter on the abc news nightline report about candace conti - but what i'm going to share with you will be other excerpts from that same letter that are just as, or even more revealing.

..in other words...
- lawyers are great! (we've got scores of them working for us) Lawyers who help others - not so great at all.
- ''authorities'' = ''complications'' when you are trying to completely hide ''.. a cause for increasing concern.''
- we really hate ''...successful litigation by those offended.''

Inactive ones are not JWs
by gone for good inyears ago, the insinuation was often presented, that those who were inactive were actually not witnesses at all.
the point being made was that ''...winesses is a verb, not a noun...''.
i know there were published assertions to this end in the older books and magazines, with possibly even quotes from the likes of rutherford or knorr ,.

Thanks especially for that point from ''Shepherd the Flock'' 2010. Chapter 5 pg. 40
+ Is the person willing to meet with a commitee,
thus admitting accountability to the Christian
congregation?
Important detail for leavers and faders here, - never meet with congregation officials - it turns your exit or your progressive fade back to zero, and reestablishes elders continuing ecclesiastic authority over you.
It is exactly these type of distinctions that establish your ''free will'' in human rights hearings.

I suspect Phizzy is correct in the reasoning that the label inactive (but still a JW) gives them the imagined perpetual control they want.
They think they can fill that box with inactive, for years after the person has reclaimed their freedom, and eventually DF or DA them as an act of ecclesial authority.
The example of Norman Hancock may well become our model.

OneEyedJoe-
You are correct - it was a long time ago- a real bombastic quote from one of the old guard.
I've seen it within the past year and, now I need it staight from the magazine likely Watchtower.
