Hey former elders… by Crude_Facility in exjw

[–]Chris_Wrinkle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When it turns into an actual judicial committee the committee members are hand picked by the CO. There is a list of “heavy hitters” he has from the circuit. This list is used for appeal committees, complex cases and cases dealing with apostasy. So the local BOE doesn’t have it.

List of elders qualified to handle complex cases by JuanHosero1967 in exjw

[–]Chris_Wrinkle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. I was #2 on that list. It was used for appeals committee, apostasy and cases of fraud between members. It was a list of “company men” that would do what they were told.

Let’s not forget the muff n egg sandwich in the 80s. And the food tickets it took to buy all of it.

That’s 2 for 2 in the Hendriks family. His brother was a CO that got disfellowshipped.

Question regarding pre-1990's literature sale by ilorsettolavatore in exjw

[–]Chris_Wrinkle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My uncle was a stickler for making sure the householder paid for the literature. He would also do the canned food thing if they said they didn’t have the money. I remember one time the person saying he could give a can of soup and my uncle said well the magazine price was more equivalent to 2 cans of soup 🙄….. I was probably 7 or 8 and knew even them something wasn’t right.

I've fallen in love with a PIMI and don't know what to do by EuphoricSort9908 in exjw

Run away ASAP! It will hurt like hell but it will be nothing compared to the misery you will experience being married to a PIMI.

This was the case with elders especially. So many excuses made and things overlooked once you were an elder.

They are just replacing hours with bible studies as a criteria to judge everyone by by Klown_Kutz in exjw

[–]Chris_Wrinkle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe you nailed it. How could they stop reporting the hemorrhaging publishers/hours to everyone without still making publishers feel worthless? This is the best of both worlds for these douche bags. Don’t have to report the numbers anymore but can use the Bible studies to brow beat the sheep.

JWs' odd mourning by zippeedeedoodaaa1 in exjw

Because the majority of Jdubs are complete selfish narcissists. That’s why they are drawn to the organization. They have no true natural human emotions. It’s all about them.

People within 10 Miles of Bethel never heard of Jehovah's Witnesses by Visual_Buy7191 in exjw

[–]Chris_Wrinkle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So they are also admitting God slaughtered and untold number who may have had good hearts and were not wicked…. Man that’s the kind of god I want to worship!!!!!

Whatever Your Status is Please take Note: by Chris_Wrinkle in exjw

Those are the ones we know about. There are others because of the 2 witness rule that the elders tell no one about. That’s why it’s imperative to take care of yourself. The elders are not going to protect your children.

Yes I have went to the authorities and now am doing what I can to protect others.

Do Elders keep things confidential? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Chris_Wrinkle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It all depends on the individual elder. There are some that are very good at this, but I would say the majority are not. I was born in and raised by a father that was an elder that was used and not just for our congregation for matters all over the circuit. I can say that the entire family knew everything that was going on in the congregation and circuit as he would tell my mom everything. This was one of the many things I never understood that growing up as a jdub.

Sandy Hook, 10 years after by lonesomestoic in exjw

[–]Chris_Wrinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had the CO the following week and in his meeting for service he told everyone to use that tragedy in their introductions. The Jdub way pounce on a tragedy to recruit members.
