Yes simon, I agree, in WTland there has always been a symbiotic relationship between the suckers and suckees.

Special Pioneer Couple Living at a Kingdom Hall In Miami FL, get the dreaded Letter
by James Jack injust 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!

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.

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.

How would you/did you categorize the elders in YOUR hall!
by Truthexplorer ini would consider some of the elders in my hall genuine shepherds ( though g men) there are a couple others i would consider robotic/wooden (boring) but ok. then of course there is the complete knob (pharisee wannabe) who grinds my wife and i's gears.
every hall seems to have one!!!
so how do/did you view the elders in your hall?

The petty tyrannist.
The demigod.
The Godfather.
The Wayne's World elder ( expects the "we are not worthy" treatment.)

Disgraceful the way WT and their goons, aka the elders, treat people.
And they have the nerve to counsel the brothers and sisters about "not bringing reproach on Jehovah's name."
They are doing a sterling job of that themselves.

Recent study links processed meats to cancer
by duc007az inso a recent study says processed meats are just as dangerous as cigarettes when it comes to cancer.
the wtbs has had a long time stance that smoking is a df offense.
my question is if there's proof beyond doubt, why doesn't the wtbs make eating processed meats a df offense?.

The report I heard referred to cured meats. -

Seems like that "Theocratic Career" wasn't such a good choice after all.
"Taste and see that Jehovah is good..." but he's a lousy landlord, boss and financial advisor.

In one of the JW broadcasts of the last few months they featured the experience of woman so depressed because she was only reg pioneer and wanted to be a special pioneer...whaaaaaaat (scratching head)
They would have known this was coming when that damn experience was aired.
Seriously? They know exactly what they are doing.
