  The writing department

  i don't go to many meetings now.

  i still feel the need to go every now and again for my husband's sake.

  i usually go on a sunday, maybe once a month or so and i look at the wt article under discussion to see if i can stomach it before i go, a lot of the time i feel i just can't do it.

  Personally, I think there is more chance of the easter bunny existing than a soft, gentle voice hidden in the WT writing department.

  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.

  It's going to be so hard for these ones to recover when their "specialness" is taken away.

  (Cue sad music) Please send them money so they can feel "special" again.

  Nah, don't fall for it, it's just "mother" playing "good cop bad cop" to keep you confused and confounded.

  Cult psychology 101. Keep em confused with conflicting tones.

  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.

  They would have to know that the sheeples are waking up left , right, and centre.

  On the sly, that is, as most are still too afraid to "come out."

  Reminds me of that Bible verse.

  "The meek shall inherit the earth.....if that's alright with the rest of you."

  Would they even accept money from apostates?

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

  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

  by James Jack in

  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.
