    Superb Eric, THANK YOU.
    After 46 years in the Jw's my wife and I couldn't take any more. So we disassociated ourselves. Pointing out to the elders the very real difference between being an apostate and a heretic. They readily agreed and said "from the points you have made Derek, we can clearly see you and your wife are not apostates". We are still shunned though! And I'm pretty sure nothing was said about this point during their announcement to the congregation that we were no longer Jehovah's witnesses.
    To be honest, the way the elders went about things in their dealings with us, shows their total dishonesty. I received a telephone call from them on my mobile. I could see there were three of them on this call, this was clearly a conference call. I politely asked them their reason for calling, and was told, "oh, it's just a friendly call Derek, in the hope that we can change your mind about leaving us". Clearly they could not. About three days later I received a letter from them stating something like 'after our judicial hearing, it was decided that you would be disassociated'!!!
    They were deliberately trying to make it sound that they decided to disassociate us, because they had no grounds to disfellowship us. How on earth in a right minded person or persons, can a "friendly telephone call", suddenly turn into a judicial hearing? They are well aware what the elders handbook says on this subject. I wrote three letters asking them, among other things, why they felt the need to lie to me over their "friendly telephone call", when it was clearly a judicial hearing. I have had three replies, but not one of them even mentions the subject. In fact they ignore those questions.
    We are so happy to be free from the weight these blind, pharasaiclal elders place on those taking up Jesus invitation at Matthew 11: 28,29,30. I would like to add Matthew 11:27 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." In support of a recent post of Eric's where he say's about their air brushing of Jesus from their organisation.
    Thank you Eric my dear brother, for you support.

      Having served on many judicial committee meetings, I can tell you with a certainty that if you are called for a judicial inquiry, in all likelihood the decision has already been made to terminate your standing within the congregation. The decision has been made….. it’s just a matter of announcing it.

    • @derek2557
      @derek2557 Před 2 lety +7

      Yes, that is entirely possible, not in this case however. Their telephone call, 2021, during Covid restrictions, was in response to our letter of disassociation. The call duration was approximately 20 minutes. About 7 minutes of which was spent by one member asking us to consider just fading from the congregation. Adding, that way we can all still come round to see you for a cup of tea in the garden, as usual. You are a very spiritual couple and hate the thought of losing you. We had both been pioneering.

      I have to comment on this from the standpoint of this particular body of elders, they did not want to loose you as friends and a brother and sister, they did not want to be forced to do the organizations bidding. I feel as sorry for them as I feel pride in your stand for whatever reasons you made it. This travesty makes otherwise good people do wicked things...

    • @derek2557
      @derek2557 Před 2 lety +6

      Yes I agree. I wrote to the elders 3 times asking them to explain their wording re the judicial hearing.
      Their guidance is, that if a person is not disassociating in an attempt to escape a judicial hearing, then no judicial hearing is necessary.
      As I and my wife had done nothing wrong, that wasn’t a consideration. Hence my puzzlement at the wording of their letter to us.
      There were so many emotions, still are. We loved them so deeply, still do.

    This brother resonates me. When 2 elders talked to me via phone call [ pandemic time 7/2021] I thought it was just knowing why it was almost 2 months that I was no longer attending the zoom meetings.. But little did I know, it was my judicial hearing. They have asked questions like
    1.reasons of absences on zoom meetings
    2.What is my viewpoint on the GB. Do I still believe that they are the channel of God to provide spiritual food for His organization?
    3 . What is My viewpoint to them as elders.
    So I told them all my doubts .Why I have doubts.The false teachings of the GB that I found out by means of my daily Bible reading. I told them everything .. And talking with them for almost 2 hrs made my phone empty battery. And then they said "we will call you again next week same day same time to see if my decision was final.. They were so annoying.literally annoying. And after the 2nd call they said "I have to submit disassociation letter to them. So I did. I stated all my reasons why I needed to leave.So they announced my name after the midweek meeting : sister T.S. is no longer a witness. now I'm free and happy. .

    When he was explaining in detail about the property that was snatched from his family it reminded of the classic film Judgement at Nuremberg. He felt compelled to explain how his family was wronged, like he was on trial and had to defend, and he was telling people just as cold and stoic as any prosecutors: They couldn't care less. They didn't even admit that was wrong that Bethel was not acting in accord with scriptures, such as it is better to be wrong then to lose your brothers (even though they were the ones wronging his family), admit that love of money superseded what was right, THEY KNEW WHY that family gave that property and should have given it back. I would classify that as immoral. Not only didn't they give it back, they weren't even thankful for it.
