@watcher- thanks for your concern, but if I wanted a relationship with God I don't need the JWs as an intermediary. That's what Jesus is supposedly for.

If you strive for "success" you will almost certainly fail, if you strive for excellence -success is guarranteed.
Public opinion is a fickle mistress, the subjects that titilate or enfuriate seem to evoke the most response.

Will the Societies tighten their grip even more with the power slipping?
by thedepressedsoul ini think its pretty clear that the gb are power hungry.
you cannot listen to the branch visit and not see clear as day that there are some of them that are loving the power.
it showed the clearest with anthony morris.. now all these sex abuse scandals and news media are taking their power away.

Have you been J-SNUBBED? HOW RUDE!
by sparrowdown ini got to thinking the other day about how the wt uses loaded language.
and spin to give thinly veiled credence and so-called respectability to their policies.. but why not call a spade a spade.
why not identify the true nature of a policy,.

Is it possible to not go off on a tangent, I would be interested in hearing a WT defender's response to the original question.
A very reasonable question, I might add.

"How did you enjoy the meeting"= a statement disguised as a question, should actually read: "you have to enjoy the meeting...everyone does".

Yes I remember when I first researched this, I found it very interesting.
Helped explain why we seem to focus so much on d2d work but let "weak" ones just slip away into oblivion.
In fact this info helped me to see that it wasn't me who "failed" them, but it was them who failed me.

They were awful, simply awful.
Old boys network, everything in the cong was arranged for their own families
convenience, while the rest of us could "go to buggery". Them and their
families treated the congregation and the KH like it was their own personal kingdom.
