  The last few years, experiences at the assemblies and conventions were given as if they had just happened

  Over 30 years ago I had the "privilage" of being on the District Assembly program. It was the experiences part that they have at all conventions. I was amazed to find out that it was a scripted part. NONE of what we said was our own personal experiences.

  It was explained to us that these were REAL experiences to uplift the brothers so it did not matter that they were not really our own personal experiences.The whole idea troubled me at the time but I put it to the back of my mind. After all 1975 was soon to be upon us and anything we could do to keep the organization strong even if it involved a little innocent deception was OK.

  Doing it this way has likely been common over the years especially when the GB had a point that they wished to make world wide and they wanted it to be made in such a way as to appear to have came from the bottom up and not from the top down.

  This organization was born with deception,it has matured with deception and hopefully soon will die with deception still on their lips.

  I always disdained the way the Society would omit the identifiers regarding personal stories and anecdotal experiences. Things like the name of the person involved, or their city and state, etc. Things a guy could check if he wanted to. But they never did. I felt that it took away from the credibility of the articles.

  The WT never "signs off" on anything. Even their crummy little articles and books are anonymously written. How honest is that? They, of course, hide behind the rationale that modesty prohibits them from naming the writers. Glory should be given to God and not man, blah, blah, blah.

  Until they begin doing what every other author/writer does, (state his name and stand behind his words,) they will have zero currency in this world, in my humble opinion.

  Oh, aren't the Bible writers named? Cats like James and John among others?

  Years ago we had a young man move to our congregation. He had just graduated from a University with an engineering degree and started working at a large local manufacturing firm. He was early 20's, a handsome guy, and all the sisters were a'twitter. Working in service with him, he told me his story. He had always wanted to be an engineer and was a straight-A's student in high school, excelling at math. His father sent him to college after graduation. This cost his father his eldership, and the boy and the rest of his family was virtually shunned by the congregation for several years (but not "officially," they just weren't invited to dinner anywhere).

  I was really impressed with his courage and told him so. We had several successful professional elders in our congo and we embraced the kid. Soon he was a MS. A wealthy elder made sure his good looking pioneer daughter "interfaced" often with the young engineer and soon there was a big wedding. With the kid's job, his wife didn't need to work and continued pioneering. Today they're at Bethyl, where he was asked to come and help out (and, no, he never did become a regular pioneer).

  See a pattern here? Kid and family are ostracized for disobeying the Society's no-college counsel, but then, when they need an engineer, who ya gonna call? It's this kind of sh** that drives JWs crazy.

  From the lawyer's directory, we get for Vincent Toole,

  Once again, the WTS wants to have it both ways.

  The way the WTS views college REALLY bugs the hell outta me since I turned down a few scholarship options to instead pioneer.

  That was before the NEW LIGHT came out a whlie ago

  The WTS knows the value of a college education and needs such people, an even ADMITS them to Bethel w/out a Reg Pio background.

  But if you pursue such locally, well as was said, let the shunning begin.
