English Elder pokes fun at invalids AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!
by Dansk infurther to isp's recent post, i can confirm that jamie reid of the whitefield, manchester congregation, england has, once again, been making fun of invalids in his congregation.
i spoke face to face with a member of his congregation the other day and he confirmed that the reports are true.. my informant (hereafter known as the "mole") told me that the two brothers elder reid poked fun at are called roy taylor and justin brooks.
roy taylor is said to be devoted to the jws, always out on field service and never misses a meeting.

Elder at my door last night
by JH ini was taking a bath, when the door bell rang.
i got out of the bath tub and went close to the window, and saw an elder go back to his car.
the last visit i had was a few days before christmas, from the co and his wife, while visiting our congregation.

let the battle commence..
by nightwarrior inwell the inevitable has happened... my mother now knows without a shadow of a doubt that i no longer attend the kh, and that the 'close' sister that i had spoken to about the above, is heartbroken (aaahhhh) that i have made such a momentous decision (how dare i) without talking to the family first..... note : i am 42 years old, 4 children, married for 16 years, lived away from my 'home' for 20 years...and the youngest daughter out of four girls, and i am still thought of as being unable to make my own decisions (as homer would say 'doh!)..
i have with held speaking to my mother for the simple reason that she is very ill, and i did not want to add to her burden, and then be blamed for her death.. she is a strong character, and has raised her family in the 'truth', my dad was not interested in the jw's...but i doubt if i will get any support from him, as he will back my mam, as she is the strong one in the relationship, and heaven help him if he were to disagree with her!!!
anyway, what would i have done without mr nightwarrior, he has been great beyond words, but sadly my mother has decided that he is the one to blame, and (wait for it).... he is part of the 'sweet talking evil slave class'................ when my mother put this to my yesterday on the telephone i politely put the phone down on her... how dare she!

the very large majority of the jws that i come into contact with on a regular basis are not wealthy and many have very low incomes, yet they still make substantial contributions to the wbts every month.
because they are firmly lead to believe that it is an organisation that is struggling for its financial survival.. following a recent visit from the c.o.

Disfellowshiping and Title 7
by Maverick inany legal eagles out there have any thoughts on the potential success of a class action lawsuit against the watchtower for their written corporate policy on the treatment of disfellowshipped people?
does their policy fall under religious discrimination as outlined in title 7 of the federal anti-discrimination statues?
i am sure there are many df'd people who have lost jobs and housing and suffered mental anguish as a result of the restrictions of interacting with loves ones and family members.

Do you understand...
by christopherceo in...what i mean when i refer to a high control group?
let me tell you how it works from my experience as a member of one.
once you become a member you're "new personality" must quickly conform to the standards set by the group regarding all manner of things we used to do in ordinary everyday life, but not any more.
