  Well they have wanted our lunch money for years. Maybe next they will ask people if they really need their expensive medications, or if they really need fresh bread everyday, tins of beans will do for CA lunch.

  Tighten that belt people tighter, no tighter!!

  CEDARS (Again) Is it really about religious beliefs?

  john cedars has posted his latest blog "the trouble with apostates (and why it shouldn't put you off becoming one)".

  i acknowledge that he is entitled to his opionin just as we are ours but i am disappointed in some of his comments.. at this stage i'll try to be objective about it.

  he is defending his own position after all.. what bothers me most is his comments about athiests and christians which he seems to identify as being in conflict with each other.

  Pistorius charge changed to murder

  just read on sky news that pistorius' charge has been changed to murder by the appeals court, on the basis that: .

  "pistorius must have foreseen that firing into the toilet would likely have killed whoever was inside - but he went ahead anyway".

  quite right too imo, he should go back to prison now.

  Glad sanity has prevailed. It was touch and go there for while, the bastard almost got away with it.

  Hopefully the family can begin to heal.

  Two Year Delay in Building New KHs - What Is the Real Impact?

  by committeechairman in

  where are all these kingdom halls that were going to start being built?

  the rbc arrangement was officially announced as an arrangement that was ending in the united states branch territory in a letter on january 24, 2014 (although this letter is no longer listed on jw.org).

  this means that 23 months have passed since the announcement of the ldc taking over and "acceleration" of kingdom hall builds.. what has happened in the meantime with kh construction?

  WT doublespeak translation

  Acceleration = applying the brakes, coming go a screeching halt, now awaiting the sickening thud.

  Sad to think there are all these ex-RBC minions out there lost and waiting to hear from their Despicable GB.

  Is taking oneself too seriously a hangover symptom of being in a cult?

  Inside the cult, intolerance was taught and encouraged.

  Judgemental attitudes abounded in the congregation, yet because JWs are all "polite christians" they rarely told you their problem to your face they gossiped behind your back and plotted your downfall with some elder or elderette they had in their pocket.

  It's no surprise to me that some ex-dubs are extra sensitive to criticism and all questions can be percieved as a form of attack.

  Put those things together and you end up with some very self-absorbed, know-it-all, paranoids. I 'm sure there are plenty who would enjoy watching the downfall of JC and there are plenty of sycophants who worship the ground he walks on.

  Like most things in life the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

  Hopefully the more time spent around "normies" (normal, regular people who weren't raised in a doomsday cult) the more balanced one becomes.
