If the cult for one second thought of their followers knowing times are tough and money is tight for many, why wouldn't they build on additions to their halls without having to sell and start over? Maybe add on a solarium if they wanted it to look fancy. It's all about $$$$$$$$$. No need to rebuild a whole entire kingdom hall just to draw in one or two stragglers off the street.

And what if you were framed because the elders of the Elmira, Ontario congregation were covering up illegal activities. Better yet, because they knew all what this one guy was doing but did nothing about it made them a part of his gross sins. So they had to shut us up fast so they df'd my husband who did not go to his judicial committee but was df'd at the end of our lane. He tried to tell them of the new doctrinal changes and they called him an apostate and said he was df'd right there on the spot.That's a loving provision from Jehovah?????
I swear that all the leaders in this cult from elders up to the governing body have a bunch of squirrels juggling knives inside their heads. It's just a matter of time where their leaders will tell them the due time has come to kill.
If they can convince people to give up all their friends and family, they will have no problem convincing them to go out and kill.

Is shunning effective?
by rebel8 indoes shunning accomplish its objectives:.
make the person repent?.
deter others from committing similar offenses in the future?.

If jw's would stop judging, squealing, stalking, gossiping and lying of others and would stand against what the org promotes which isn't love, then this would force the religion to change their shunning policies to a more loving approach for those who simply don't want to be in it anymore.
If they truly followed the scriptures, most of them would leave. Most have been trained not to even have a conscience anymore but to be spoon fed their messed up doctrines. Poor sheep have been skinned alive before their slaughter.
1 Corinthians 4:3-5. This scripture alone shows they don't have Christ's backing for they have no faith in that he is the one and only to do the judging. As well, they lack love which Yeshuah had come to preach. How sad for the jw`s to deny his death when they feel their death cancels out their sins. (Romans 6:7 is this scripture they use for proof)

To all my congregation Elders :
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthank you for coming to my house so often because you were so concerned about me missing so many meetings.. ( actually, the only time you visited was when the circuit and district overseers were in town.
you really showed them how concerned you were about your sheep.
i now know that it is more of a duty than a concern.).

Pathetic, isn't it? Every time one would come up to me and say we really miss you along with a fake smile, I would reply back oh yeah, what do you miss about me? It left them speechless every time.
Through out the years they didn't mind eating our food, using our car for service every single time we were out(as a matter of fact as soon as we were heading out in the parking lot to our cars, we would let the others in our car group take the lead in seeing who would walk to who's car and they always ended up at our vehicle as though it was expected of us to drive them which we did)and not pay for gas, didn't say no to us supplying the congregation with all the meat for their hall reno, or their parties, didn't mind keeping all our shower and wedding gifts even though we were marked apostates, we were still giving gifts after we had stopped going to the meetings. The kicker to all of that was we had only gone to one wedding and one party in the twelve years we were in the cult.
There's more but after all the kindne$$ we gave, not one phonecall to see how we were doing. Not one visit or shepherding call untill they wanted us out on account of what we knew what the elders were covering up. It was two years before anyone came sniffing around stalking us. Sad they didn't miss us unless there were gifts or donations involved. Sad how the elders wanted to make hubby an elder after he had put a fair donation in the contribution box. I don't miss the fake smiles or fake conversations.
Life is what you make it and for us it's so much better with no pressure and no seven goons taking our freewill away from us telling us serving them is how we should live. All of us are survivors of the worse crimes imaginable. Live life to its fullest and never allow anyone to abuse you or take advantage of you ever again.

Just listen to some of the Torah teachers/rabbis on line and every so often they will tell you how there are bomb shelters all over Isreal and how it's not safe in certain areas. And these guys would know for they live over there. I think it's disgusting that the cult hides themselves behind blind naive sisters and tells them it's ok to go over.
There are two over in our old hall that want to go and they are dumb as door knobs. One still lives with her parents(the father is not a joho and is against his daughter going) and the other was raised mexican mennonite turned joho and is clueless. She is seperated from her husband and the elders are ok with her going over to Isreal. Her husband is against her going but she is still going anyways. She's a beautiful girl and could have been a model. Lets hope if they go over that no one knows the one gal left her husband because he refused to be a good boy in the cult.
The guys will be all over these two single sisters. The other sister had just completed her nursing school and also is very stand out pretty. Her father is just livid about them going.
I hate what this cult has done to me, my family as well as others. I'm surprised no one has attempted to pay back to them what they have dealt out.

What came to mind as to what they will look like was what some of you posted here in the past. There were pictures of buildings where the front was all store front glass and you could walk in and sit down and read their literature. I think one was Mexico and the other one was in France. And they looked exactly like franchise drive thru buildings. All I can say is wow and very shocking. I'm saddened as to what they are doing to their blind followers,
No doubt there will be a numbers report on how many homeless have come into the cult! We all know how JW.Org loves to help the homeless. NOT!

The Judicial Committee is a Circle of Elders in a Room?
by Shanagirl inhas this ever happened to anyone who has been df'd here?
did you walk into a room with a circle of chairs for the whole body of elders?.
shana.

label licker
Yes!!! These jackass elders had nine chairs in a circle around a table so as soon as we walked through the doors into the back of the hall there it was. They tried to intimidate us but if I were intimidated, I wouldn't have been sipping on blueberry vodka from my thermos taking a few percocets in front of all three idiots. And while taping my meeting. It was a joke. They had put hard work into their showy display more so than the actual judicial meeting. These elders have no education and all live off their parents. It's all they know.
They had also tried to ask my husband to leave but I told them that wasn't happening so they said he could stay. They tried saying his presence would hinder the flow of the holy spirit. Just the shit they had tried to pull on me was disgraceful. Had my husband not been there with me telling them to grow up and move on to the next topic/accuser I would have agreed to some of it because I couldn't remember what they were accusing me of. Here, it was my husband that was the one that had said some of the things I was being falsly accused of which had nothing to do with my case. Yet, they used these kids testimonials as the accusations against me and instead it was my husband who was the one. My husband was df'd for walking away from the idiots at the end of our lane because of the yelling and name calling. All because we knew the elders were covering over a guy who committed adultry and admitted it, forged a legal document using his wife's signature, pocession of an illegal firearm, domestic abuse on his wife and threatening to kiill his father whom he had gotton the guns from. They didn't have a gun license or a special firearms permit to have these kinds of guns in their pocessions.
Two months later two of my accusers who were related to the guy that was getting away with all this wicked stuff became elders. All in the little town of Elmira, Ontario.
