[@derek2557]

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.

[@superdave1263]

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]

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]

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.

The hypocrisy of those elders is revolting. The amazing part is that they aren't even aware of it . They are so manipulated in their way of thinking

A wonderful example of attempted brainwashing. God bless Maciej (and thank God) that his pursuit of truth helped him break free of the deception.

[@jessekings7828]

1:41:17 Had these elders read the entire chapter of 2 John like Maciej asked them to, the elders would've incriminated themselves. Instead they cherry pick individual verses to adjust to their agenda. Truly twisted individuals. I feel sorry for Maciej because these guys do not play fair, but I commend him for standing his ground.

Brother Wilson. The elders of the congregation in Los Gatos CA USA disfellowship me after I confronted them for using thousands of dollars $$$ from our donations to pay airfare for friends from Bethel NY. I recorded the conversation and I would share it to your channel.

The GB and all elders are the masters of mindfuckery. I despise them all.

[@Charleneslife-23]

This was painful to listen to. If only the average JW would hold each other in such high regard as they do the GB it wouldn’t be so wrong. It’s as if the GB’s motives and actions cannot be called into question. Satan has truly blinded their eyes. Until these elders are ready to receive real truth then they’ll forever be slaves of men.

rappel : En vertu de l’article n°36 -2022, récent de « la tour de garde » : *** w22 août p. 30 § 18 Les serviteurs de Jéhovah aiment la justice *** 18 Troisièmement, laisse Jéhovah juger les autres. Tandis que nous nous efforçons de respecter les normes de justice de Jéhovah, nous devons veiller à ne pas juger les autres et à ne pas nous croire plus justes qu’eux. Nous n’avons pas le droit de les mépriser et de les juger selon nos propres normes. Rappelons-nous que c’est Jéhovah le « Juge de toute la terre » Genèse 18:25. Il ne nous a pas confié la responsabilité de juger les autres. Et d’ailleurs, Jésus nous a ordonné : « Arrêtez de juger, et vous ne serez pas jugés » Matthieu 7:1. ((Citation : « Ces choses, nous en parlons aussi, non pas avec des paroles qu’enseigne la sagesse humaine, mais avec celles qu’enseigne l’esprit » 1 Corinthiens 2:13)).

Thanks to Maciej and BP for putting this up. It’s a pity only 11,054 people have seen this illuminating discussion before disfellowshipping that clearly demonstrates why the Bible makes clear that you don’t follow men. This is a damn disgrace proper golden calf analogy came to mind throughout.

[@vintage6346]

Well said. You see the whole picture.

[@earthwisdomhelps]

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. They justify it in their minds that it was for "Jehovah" so therefore no other principles need to come into play.

[@BeroeanPickets]

@Earthwisdom -- well said, it is so outrageous. So immoral. A blatant expression of arrogant dismissal.

He is expected to agree with anything the governing body says or does, or else. Who says so? Why, the governing body of course. What a joke.

[@ronaldlewis5141]

The judicial committee never did explain why the "defendant" should not need a witness.

[@raymondsalzwedel]

Furthermore, it's about burden of proof resting with the prosecutor. Oh, and if the arbiter and the accuser are the same person(s), this is hardly "judicial". It's a "kangaroo court", if that is a thing.

Is this the best that this Organisation can put forward? Tired and sleep-inducing repetitions of the same nonsense about believing in the governing body is all they could offer. You are remarkable though Maciej, I applaud you for having the patience to sit through even 5 minutes of such an irritating discussion.

@beven busu - Yes, Maciej did a remarkable job with 4 against one. He had the tenacity and ability to continue puting up with the elders all- consuming obessession with loyalty to men.

[@raymondsalzwedel]

He did a great job. In fact I offer the opposite opinion about language. He spoke about definite articles, translation from sources, and the inference is that meanings are assigned words, and so it's imperative to figure out the meaning, and not play fast and loose with the words to alter meaning according to whim. Whim, in this sense, is CONTROL.
