Everybody now has a GoFundMe for one reason or another.
This GoFundMe crap gets on my last nerve.
Just like the WTBTS, GoFundMe will never see contributions from me.

my father was telling me the other day that 5 publishers have recently been put in rest home care.
interesting in a cong of about 80-100 publishers.
Sad. There they'll be forgotten. Ending life the same as everybody else.
Some will lose their marbles and celebrate everything. Hey, whatever brings them joy in this last stage of life.
Sad.

the study wt of march 2016 is up on jw.org and is the standard article around this time of year...pressuring young kids to dedicate their lives to the organization again.
this wt will be studied during may, so just in time to pressure them into baptism at the regional conventions this summer.such articles really upset me, as the realization of how many young promising lives will be destroyed.
how many families will be broken up, when the child who got baptized as a minor (ages 6 and up are mentioned in the literature) decides as a young adult that his/her conscience no longer allows him/her to be part of such a destructive cult.
This JW practice is no different than infant baptism of other faiths, no different.
Kids do not know shit from shinola!
Their bodies along with the brain are developing, evolving, maturing; this is why they cannot enter into a legally binding contract.
No wonder why Jesus waited 'til being fully cooked prior to taking on such commitment.
The WTBTS is only interested in the numbers. The $$$ and numbers. That's all.
DY
in your personal experience, do you think that the wt attracts needy types of people?
over the years, my experience is that they do attract very needy, insecure, dysfunctional, types.
i had an acquaintance that i just basically cut off.
Yes!!!
We are just a bunch of delusional about the future, depressed about the present and damn tired of chasing the damned dangling carrot!!!

so why do you think the borg is encouraging youngsters to get dunked sooner?
i reckon it's cause they are easy to victimise.
i mean, some-one could say, keep our secret, nobody will believe you & god wont love you, but think of the power they would have if they say "you will be disfellowshipped," on top.
Control is number one, and also makes up the high numbers for the membership-numbers-driven WTBTS.
Nobody outside the legal adult age should go into any contract, let alone the biggest contract which will affect the rest of a person's life.
What does this so considered Christian org have against following Christ's example in this regard?
The Bible clearly states that one should carefully follow Jesus' example in all things.
Well, as in all other cases, they cherry pick scriptures in this as well.

this should be fun.
building a wall is unchristian.
i can't understand why the pope is getting involved in american politics.. poor donald..
Reflecting on the meaning of being a true follower of Christ, politicians absolutely are not Christians.

http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/story/news/local/2014/12/22/jehovahs-witnesses-buy-fishkill-rivercrest-apartments/20788311/.
jehovah's witnesses now owns a major apartment complex in the town of fishkill.. tenants say they've been told their leases will not be renewed.. the sale of the 250-unit rivercrest luxury apartments closed dec. 3, the deed on file at the dutchess county clerk's office shows.
while sale price is not stated, the transfer tax indicates a transaction for $57 million.. rivercrest is a modern development west of route 9d just north of beacon and was a project of avr realty, which also developed other housing and commercial spaces in that area as well as projects in eight states.. the sale deed is between rivercrest development llc, based in yonkers, and watchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc. as the buyer.
Not booted out... for now.
Unless any lifer bethelite has a skill needed by the WTBTS, it is just a matter of time before being booted out under the guise of "much needed help out in some area".
I truly feel bad for some that trusted this Org literally with their LIFE and now get kicked to the curb to fend for themselves without viable skills or funds; and then have the gall to order them not to be bitter about it but to trust in Jehovah instead.
What jerks!!!

list as an accomplishment on a resume, "i escaped from a mind control doomsday cult?".
sometimes when i reflect on it, the magnitude of this accomplishment amazes me..
Anyone who dares jotting down this in the list of accomplishments, do not be surprised if the interview/job doesn't come. Don't do it!
It screams "looney" or "coo coo for cocoa puffs"! 😜

okay, so at the "imitate their faith" ca there was a special speaker from the gb.
and he started discussing psalms 1:1 and how we today could "sit in the seat of scoffers".
he then mentioned that many bros. and sisters criticize the org and think they are so smart by researching online.
Happy to know that they know we are on to their lies and deceit.
Be afraid GB, be very afraid!
