Outstanding use of their own Flock book. BTW I looked it up in the new elder manual, now called the “Shepherd” book, (ks10) and the quoted portions were copied verbatim to this new manual, so the logic still holds and could be used by another that has faded.

Great site Robin. Good luck to all your endeavors.

Without proper steps of government, difficult to protect people from missuses of religion.

Does anyone agree with me that the teaching on judgment day in WHAT THE BIBLE REALLY TEACHES, is taken out of context.
romans 6:7 “he who has died is free from sin”
the witnesses are teaching that it means a literal death.
Paul was teaching he who has “died” to his old way of life was free from sin.

Dear brothers, I appreciated the letter to GB, and honest comments about it. I am not an elder of course but, a person who suffered greatly at the hands of many elders in many different congregations and in different states! My life for 25 years has been the worst ever! My story is unbelievable and bizarre as well! Strange as it might seem, the elders think i’m one of the anointed ones (as they think) and have treated me just like the religious leaders did to Jesus! Sending people/spies to watch me and get into my belongings in my home; false testimonies/statements; and several mock trials (no joke)! I’ve been disfellowshipped twice, no witnesses or evidence, and they are still searching for me to disfellowship me again! I have not done what they accuse me of (ever)! My problem according to them… I speak the truth and stand for it too! They don’t like it! I am not disrespectful. They cannot stand just my very presence becasuse at any time i could expose them! My exhusband John got away with cheating, lying, beating me up, etc., and the elders hid his wrong doing and blamed me, lied to other elders, and gave John prominant positions in congregation! All know the truth and all said they didn’t care! When I said I was going to write society, they laughed and said i still would not get justice! By the way, there is alot more said and done you would definitely not believe!!! The elders in WA congregation still have people follow me first to CA and now here in NV. I just want them to leave me alone! I am not going back! I don’t even care if they disfellowship me anymore. when they condemn me they only condemn themselves! This is not the way it is suppose to be, this is not love! I see that many doctines are wrong and so many people are being misled! I have a sister in CA who is sincere but mislead. Her husband is an elder who has mistreated me as well. It’s always the older men (presiding overseer) who is after me! Everywhere I go! Sending letters full of lies and slander! For years I asked why, why me? Even tho I will be disfellowshipped from JW organization, I will still continue to preach the truth about Jesus and follow what God’s Word says, not man’s! For years I wanted to be just like all those witnesses… but I never fit in… i was never accepted, loved, or supported. I never fit into the “click”., I did what they wanted me to do (to an extent)! Which is why I was never accepted! Anyways, brothers, thank you for letting me see their are others who see and broke free of the control! In time, God’s people will see too and come out… Because really, there has only been just two sides, Jehovah side and satan’s side! When the time comes for one world government with one religion, this is where each one of us will have to choose a side to make our stand! You will see God’s people come out of all different kinds of religions! There wont be any JW’s or Catholics or Protestants, etc. Others of course will take the mark of the beast because they have been blinded because they aren’t true christians, and not believers in the true God above! Brothers, thank you for letting me vent! Please continue your journey on the path to life!

Hi Deborah
As a concerned friend and parent of a 2year old son, My friend takes her son 3years old to a daycare called Kideo here in Bonaero Park, Kempton park.To cut the long story short, recently the owner of the place has denied her son because she put in a notice that they are relocating to Cape Town, however before the kid starts with lessons there’s a month deposit paid in advance, the owner says they have to pay a full fare until December and they are relocating in November, however she has got things that my friend bought for the kid like bycicle and matress as they do not provide that, she refuses to give them back and is threatening to sue them and will never take the kid, they had to find another daycare as both parents are working and theres no one to take care of the kid while at work.They have paid for the month of November and yet the kid is denied at the school. Please advice what to do in a situation like this because it went bad on Thursday when I went with her to pick up the staff, she called cops and said we are trespassing, what we do not understand is that a deposit for a month was paid in advance, fees for the month of November was paid in full.
What kind of a day care is this, its not like she is taking the kid out of school by choice but because they are relocating for a new job,she sent parents a threatening letter that if they take the kid out of that school she will sure their F****** asses,please help my friend get here money back and the kids toys.
As a day care centre you are expected to provide that for the kids, not parents have to Mbuli,unless if there’s a shortage and parents are notified, and when parents wanna take kids out of the school, you have no right to refuse them and threten to sue.

Kind regards
Andile Dunga

Newsflash: FOREST-HILL MEMBER VINDICATED 25 YEARS AFTER “SEXUAL MISCONDUCT” CASE…

Pretoria, September 2011:-A man of the Forest-Hill congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Johannesburg-south, 25 years ago, has eventually been exonerated of the accusations of sexual misconduct, leveled against him in 1986. Back then, he was accused by two elders of that same congregation, of living with a woman in sin, having sexual relations with her out of wedlock, and possibly impregnating her in the process! Elders Tim Webb and Willie Jordaan, was quick to accuse Mr. L du Toit of sexual escapades, after other members of the congregation spread rumours that Ms. M Roos was “living” with him, when she visited him in 1986 while they were dating and engaged to be married later that year.

Liar, liar!:- To add insult to injury, these elders bluntly refused to listen to Mr. du Toit’s side of the story and immediately accused him of lying to them about the incident. He was then summarily disfellowshipped (ex-communicated) from that congregation after a short, heavy-handed and Mafia-style “internal disciplinary hearing”. He is also shunned to this very day by any and all members of Jehovah’s Witnesses who become aware of his status as ‘persona non grata’ in their community, because of that incident! It actually took Ms. M Roos to compile an affidavit of the true facts in 2009, before elders in other congregations (of Jehovah’s Witnesses) finally took notice of his case once again. However, visiting Mr. Du Toit over the past two years, local elders only beg that he “forgive” those erring elders, “forgets” the unpleasant past and moves on with his life, humbly ‘crawling’ back to their religion (or ‘The Truth’ as they like to call it) and start all over again. But this is something he is not even willing to consider until (at least) a formal, written apology is received from the two elders in question, a point that is still hotly in contention!

The falseness of the ‘Truth’!:- Jehovah’s Witnesses the world over, boast a strong and unifying religion, based on strict bible disciplines. They are told on a weekly basis with many, many examples given at their meetings, how false other religions are and how bad this world is and members are ordered to have minimal contact with it. Their religion is very, very rarely referred to as a ‘religion’ at all, but rather proclaimed as ‘The Truth’ in their daily conversations, so as to set it apart from any other religion that has ever been practiced in the world. On their daily rounds, preaching their teachings and selling literature on the streets and from door to door, they have to press their religious convictions strongly forward, but be very wary of accepting other people’s religious viewpoints, “lest they be drawn away from the Truth”! However, there are many, many falsehoods in their “Truth”. Elder’s misconduct (like the example in hand) and especially their children’s misbehaviour, are frequently overlooked and not earmarked for disciplinary hearings and therefore warrants the accusation that elders and their families, “are above their own laws”. Du Toit’s case is certainly not unique and many other similar incidents are reported throughout Southern Africa, which show that there are serious problems inside an organization, which claims to be the ONLY true representation of almighty God, here on earth!

“Thank you, your Honour”!:- In closing statements, Mr. Du Toit wishes to clearly state that he is not completely opposed against Jehovah’s Witnesses after all that has happened to him and after all these years have elapsed, but will consider returning to ‘The Truth’ only on a business agreement. That is to say, he will return to the ‘flock’ and continue with their missionary work only, and only, if he is remunerated for it this time! Since trust, respect and honour, which is so vehemently preached in their weekly meetings, was not forthcoming and maintained in his case, they might then rather consider a commercial agreement with him. Predominant options to be discussed, is a large commuter vehicle (for transporting various members to and from church meetings); a cellular phone with QWERTY-keyboard and WAP/GPRS/3G/Wi-Fi etc. enabled (to keep in touch with the organization, the local congregation’s elders and fellow worshippers via e-mail, Twitter and Facebook); a big beach umbrella, folding table and chair (for protection against hours in the sun, selling their literature) and an allowance of at least 5000-00 ZAR per month, fuel–levy excluded. Lastly, the organization is reminded that for outside-territory service (off-the-road and rural preaching-excursions in outlying territories) a proper 4 x 4 bakkie or SUV vehicle will be needed! If this business-plan is also not acceptable to them, they and any of their members who want to follow can then gladly descend into the depths of Sheol or Hades, whichever is more applicable to them!

Kind Regards,
L du Toit (Mr.)

Very good article. Many of these religions cover the sins of their leaders and pretend to be holy. Everyone is or has been guilty and the children suffer the most under religious sects, ask me I have been there first hand to experience this!
