Don't know why it did that. So, my judicial was last year July 28th 2013, I had dropped off my transcript of my judicial meeting in April of this year to the bethel after speaking to a brother there and him telling me to bring in detail my story. That these elders could not publically reprove me on the grounds of discouraging young ones six years ago from pioneering. Four months go by and I was basically called a liar over the phone by Mike in the service department and to go back to my elders and not tell them I was at the bethel. That it would take at least 2-3 years before they could get to my complaint due to the complaints ahead of mine. So I post my story last week on Cedars blog. After all this time, I get a letter from bethel that reads like this:
Dear XXXX,
We are now able to respond to the material you brought to our office regarding the decision of a committee of the XXX Congregation involving you.
The alleged transcript you provided was reviewed but was of limited usefulness. The numerous parenthetical additions you made to the alleged dialogue and hyour deletion of all bible texts read during the hearing undermined it's reliability. Further if you recorded the hearing such recording was done surreptitiously and without the consent of the witnesses and elders. When one party secretly tapes a conversation, he or she has an unfair advantage in any after the fact review of that conversation.
True, it is not enjoyable to be counseled or disciplined, (Heb. 12:5, 5,11) Yet, as discussed in The Watchtower of April 15, 2014 pages 28 and 30, it is good to think about the efforts made by those who offer counsel. The elders evidently spent much time and effort to help you restore your reltionship with Jehovah God. We now encourage you to take positive steps to 'return to the shepherd and overseer of your soul,'by regularly attending the meetings of the local congregation.--Hebrews 10:24,25; 1Peter2:24.
We assure you of our concern for your spiritual well-being
Your brothers,
Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses

"We Love You All Very Much"
by Apognophos ini'm not sure if this has been discussed before.
you guys might recall that when the 2013 yearbook came out, the letter from the governing body ended a bit unusually:.
we love you all very much.

Blondie, I hear you.
That was one of my pet peeves. Everytime someone would say I miss you, I would say Oh yeah, what do you miss about me? I would get a blank stare or well, I miss your comments and your smiling face. Liar!!!! Just like the GB members. They say they love us but ask yourselves, what is it do they love about us? Answer: your money and that's it. That's the only contact they have with their followers. It's their money they miss about them.

It's really sad these people don't read their bibles. It's not going to be a war in the middle east that brings on the great tribulation but god himself! It's not an organisation that we have to stay close to that will take us through harmegeddon since the bible states all will have an individual accounting with god.What it does say is when you see all these things start to take place, stand still and lift your heads for your deliverence is near. The jw's have no faith in god or his son or else they wouldn't be reading these disgusting rags. The put their faith in men instead of just god alone.
It's pretty sad for the longest time I use to hear them tell us to go to your local hall and wait it out there and now they show these pictures of hiding out in a bunker or basement. Such little faith these men have.

Nov 2014 WT, much about nothing, or is it?
by Quarterback inthe article "why we must be holy" ties in obedience as being holy.
there is a subheading in this article that states " prove yourselves holy by being obedient".
par 9 quotes three brothers who had some conflicts, but they went along with the org.

Navytown, that's exactly what they want you to believe. They know alot of the elders are scumbags and that's why they now have the co doing the pickings. They know people are fed up so now they want you to think that it's not just the elders but now the co will double lick the label as though it's his holy stamp of approval.
My elders let a criminal smash in his wife's car, drunk and by hand, wave a loaded gun in her face and threaten to kill her, got a highschool student to forge his wife's name on a legal document and as soon as he found out we knew about it, he fired her, threatened to kill his father, does not have a gun license to own these guns, have had the cops called on him several times for domestic abuse, had an affair on his wife-----all this and the elders did absolutely nothing but came after us for knowing about it and stopped going to the meetings. The kicker out of all of this and watchtower I hope your reading this, the co was informed about it and didn't want to hear about it. Why? All at once this guys relatives, who oddly enough were my accusers all decided to pioneer and put on a show. After the co was done which was this year, none of them are pioneering anymore and two of my accusers were made elders two months after my jc. Bethel was called and I gave them my transcript fo my jc and then they had the nerve to say they never told me to bring it in. That was Rod Jong who lied and has now taken Ken Little's place at the canadian bethel branch. They all got their reward as far as I'm concerned and will have to face god when the time comes. This is their definition of holy and it reeks.
Any of you lurkers have better pay attention for these wacos are gearing up for something and it's something that involves all of you. Get away from these whores.

Outlaw, close but no cigar:) In this case, even the golden calf should be prostrating itself before the Almighty logo.

Just Curious About Something
by EmptyInside insorry,couldn't think of a better title for this post,without it being long.. i was thinking this morning,if ex-jws, who were born into the group less likely to join another religion after leaving.
vs. the witnesses who belonged to a church before joining the religion.. from my own prespective,being raised a witness,i have no intention of joining any religion.
and it seems that born-ins are less likely to join a religion after leaving the cult.. in my own experience,i think it's religious burn-out to tell the truth.

Sorry, no more labels, doctrines or religion for us. We see others who feel they have to jump right into another group to discuss bible. We want to be be christians(through our conduct) just as the bible teaches and will wait on Jesus to come again. Don't need to be labelled with another name in order to research the bible. Be very careful for there are groups that don't believe in religion or going into churches yet they still have a title attatched to them as to what they are. Will be followers of Christ only and wait on him.

Maybe while your holding your baby, at the same time pet your shepherd. Maybe he'll see there's no threat for your affections if he's included and he'll see that everytime baby is in the picture, that means he'll get some attention too:) Just an idea to make him feel a part of the family. I really hope everything works out for you. Give it some time.
We have a rotti from the pound that was abused and it's just me and my husband. No kids and this dog constantly needs reassurance. One of us always has his head under our hands or arms nudging us to pet him. We have thirty acres where he can run all over the place but he has to be between the both of us at all times. He's a real goofball.
