They came, they saw, they left...

by NVR2L8 in

during the holiday period one if my wife's brothers had planned a vacation in our area.

they drove about 6 hours to a condo they leased for a week to celebrate their wedding anniversary with their married son and daughter.

they called my wife to let her know they were coming to visit us since they were 2 hours away.

I suppose this can be a good thing. But it just amazes me how they will spend all this time and effort going around knocking on doors and yet will do very little for existing members other than a "we miss you line". Wt if you read this you need to be concentrating on retention, especially retention of your youth, rather than pissing people off knocking on their door.

This brings to mind an experience I had when I was fading. I had some witnesses call on me. Obviously just to fill in time. I was happy to see them, and invited them in for something to eat. I got the "we miss you line". Then after about 25mins they up and left because they meet a person out in territory who may (I use the word MAY)want a study. After they left I could help but think of how their minds work. It would of been more advantageous and required less effort to spend a bit of time with a guy who had spent his whole life believing a load of crap. Than to leave him to try and go to a stranger who may want a study or possibly isn't at home. After they left I just couldn't help but feel I had been used to count time on with platitudes. Guess that's the mind set in dubbieland.

Why did Paul Gillies resign from the IBSA board amongst claims over the handling of sex abuse.

by joe134cd in

this is a continuation from the below thread.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/8650001/uk-wtbts-headquarters-silentlambs.

basically it was discussing how a sex abuse incident was handled, and that the upper echelon were now falling on the sword over it.

this is taken from silent lambs .

What the article didn't mention and what I am trying to find the answer to is a post by Searcher who,also noted that Paul Gillies had also resigned from the IBSA. So was this a result of the handling of sex abuse or not? This was is the proof that Paul did resign

by purrpurr in

wow!

i haven't been here for a while and everything's changed!.

anyway i've been really noticing how at every meeting it seems there's yet another new thing that needs funding or another reminder to donate.

I remember questioning why the fees were so high to attend a society arranged trip to an international convention. I got no reply. Go figure.

Check your congregations for this creeper (Frederick Mclean)

jw
friends

just saw this scumbag profiled by john walsh "on the hunt".

if he is still associating with the jehovah's witnesses it is likely the governing body wt headquarters knows where he is at and is protecting him.

I'm sorry but the idea that jw.org is hiding him is just none sense. San Luise I have thought a similar thing to you. In hind sight Wt should be full of gratitude to Bill Bowen and Barbara Anderson for going to the media when they did. If Wt had carried on for a few more years with the policies they had, they would be for a much more world of hurting now. WT IF YOU READ THIS. YOU OWE THOSE TWO INDIVIDUALS A MASSIVE APOLOGY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO THEM!!!!!!!!!!!

The only real way that you can hurt them or force them to change, is by voting with your wallet and feet.

Child Shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses International Convention, Melbourne, Australia (17-19 October 2014)

by jwleaks in

documents and media releases relating to the shunning and discrimination of a special needs child by jehovahs witnesses in relation to the melbourne international convention, 17-19 october 2014. the following documents and press release were received by jw leaks in relation to the jehovahs witnesses international convention at etihad stadium, melbourne, australia.

it is understood that due to last minute information in relation to the administration and control of the first aid health services at the convention the following press documents had not been released to the media.. prior to publishing and releasing the following sensitive information, the members of the team at jw leaks made formal inquiries with the victorian workcover authority (vwa) and the administrators of etihad stadium (melbourne stadiums limited) as to whether measures have been put in place to prevent the jehovahs witnesses and watchtower bible and tract society of australia from operating any first aid health services and first aid department in alleged breach of applicable health and safety laws.. we were assured that the jehovahs witnesses will no longer have control of the first aid management at the event but that st john ambulance first aid officers will be on site for each of the three days.

it is our understanding that this was done for the purpose of protecting the health and safety of all 70,000 daily patrons and delegates attending the convention.
