  Lets start a "Go Fund Me" for those special pioneers being kicked to the curb by the GB,.

  lots of great potential to help those sp that are being sent off without any financial help from the wtbts.

  i think that it would be a great way to get some exposure on this topic and how the wtbts thats those that dedicated their lives to the wtbts only to be sent packing at a late age.

  then someone can take the funds to one sp couple, possibly, and give it to them in honor of the apostates that know what is really happening.

  Would they even accept money from apostates?

  Next experience at RC: Special pioneers say "I spit on your filthy apostate money, praise Jah,"

  New Watchtower Propaganda and hate speech destroying families (Feb 2016 WT)

  by Daniel1555 in

  the following is a paragraph from the new february study watchtower article "learn from jehovah's loyal servants.".

  7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.

  for example, a sister named anne [1] received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.

  I think "Anne" is a composite Anne, just like all their other examples.

  Let's call her Sister propag-Anne-da.

  Two real words spring to mind undue influence.

  On respect for the belief of others. Sorry for the long post

  i am inclined to start this thread in response to some comments made in other threads.

  i have been coming around these forum for quite some time now so whatever you find in here is not just related to something someone may have said this week.

  it can go months back as well.. i have seen many who claim to respect the belief of others but when it comes down to applying it into practice, things take a whole different tune.

  Special Pioneer Couple Living at a Kingdom Hall In Miami FL, get the dreaded Letter

  just got a phone call from an older sister saying that a couple that got re-assigned from bethel 4 years ago to live at their kh apartment as special pioneers, just received a letter saying "as of january 2016, your special pioneer assignment will be discontinued".. they live in a south miami kh(snapper creek congregation).. this couple had only served in bethel for 15 years before they were sent out into the special pioneer work.

  they are now in their mid 50's and the sister said that they have to find part time jobs to support themselves.. the older sister (does not have a pc or internet), says that the couple are just devastated!

  How possible is it that this purging of all the resource-sucking bethelites and special pioneers is totally part of the plan to become a smaller but more cashed-up group. Possibly even recruiting more celebs and business people.

  Just a thought, I have them sometimes.

  I am totally with you on the "now my brain has some really hard work to do" thing.

  Don't worry we are all doing that.

  Nothing worthwhile (like learning how to think and problem solve) comes without hard work. "Blessings" don't fall out of the sky arbitrarily like manna from heaven descending only on the good and faithful. (Whoever they are.)

  You can generate your own happiness, without relying on handouts from religious abusers.

  Hello everyone! I am new here and want to tell you about myself - my bio

  grew up in east la in a bad neighborhood to a black mother and white father.

  i never knew my father because he died in a car accident when i was a few weeks old.

  my mother converted as a jw soon after when two sisters came to her door and offered her comfort, which was something she needed.

  Yeah, funds are being diverted from the extremties back to the vital organs like Warwick Mansion.

  Which is exactly what would happen if torrential money loss, or even a moderate steady bleed was occurring.
