it was announced recently, that "bro.
z is no long the coordinator(76 years old), bro y(60) is now the new coordinator of the body of elders".. you see, bro.
z has been an elder for 43 years and 35 of them as the cobe/po.
You know, your average JW is okay, but the top echelon are some sons-of-bitches. Definitely not Christ-like at all.
Having said that though, there are many JW males that define there mere existence by whatever title they hold inside the Org. This is not right either.

As we age, we all become useless to this empire. No more contributions for them at assemblies!

protesters shut down a trump rally.
massive numbers of people are out in chicago and have shut his event down.
there were scuffles inside the event.. despite his lame attempt to pretend the violence he instigates is nothing to do with him it's clear that it is as the cnn quotes during the last event showed only too well.. this doesn't happen at anyone else's events - candidates have even given up the stage to protesters, not called for them to be beaten and punched.. trump is an ugly person and this is just a small taste of what a future under his rule would be like.. shame on the gop for not kicking his ass out.
Oh, the GOP is trying to get rid of him but their racist, ignorant, xenophobic base wants this jerk. This shameless Party has created for decades these prejudices and now the chickens are coming home to roost.

(that is, doubts).
in margaret atwood's "the handmaid's tale", a futuristic story of life inside a repressive, abusive big brother-style society tightly controlled by religious fundamentalists, there's a passage in which the protagonist is alone with another woman at a state-controlled centre where prayers are generated -- then printed out and read out -- by a machine.
the other woman asks, in barely more than a whisper, "do you think god listens to these machines?
Do not trust anyone in JW land. No one!
Trust your pillow, if you are sleeping alone that is.

this thread is for when you have to say something to get it out of the system, whether it is happy or sad.
my reason for stating the thread is that on occasion some threads do tend to get a little heated here, and maybe this thread will enable us to reflect on the important fact, we are real people and not just dots on a computer screen.. i would love to start the thread with a bang, but nothing of particular interest has happened, only i do hope the weather improves as the climate i live in has been sadly chilly for the time of year, (if you get the deeper meaning).

Sowhatnow,
When you finally break it off, please take some time to work on yourself. Figure out and correct the reason why you attract these type of men.
Sorry to hear of your troubles.

All good here: Healthy thus far, job/money enough to pay bills, have fun and put aside a bit for a rainy day, beloved family members alive and well. Overall, doing well.
Regarding JW stuff, in one ear out the other. Once the feelings of obligation and guilt disappear thanks to knowing TTATT, it is all good.
Live well, be well y'all!!!

The hotel stay, the restaurants afterwards and the company will be very nice. However, there will be a lot of blah, blah, blah in between.
Too bad I cannot miss the Friday session and save a vacation day from work.

all warm and fluffy this month after the utterly laughable 'bread' broadcast.

i'll always be grateful to the australian royal commission for allowing us to see this duplicitous, lying, creep, shown up as a snivelling, suck up, asshole, taken completely out of his self appointed authoritarian comfort zone.. anyway, a not too interesting broadcast i have to say..
I just tune out when hubby plays anything from the Org's site.
It all sounds the same as in the KH: Blah, blah, blah....
DY
Oh, they're hurting. The bleeding out of the Org must be massive for them to dedicate a whole assembly to this.
WOW!!!

i don't want anyone to take this the wrong way but i use to at least feel smart as a jw.
when i went to thursday night meetings, i at least felt like i was a student, that i was learning how to speak publicly, i could prepare my own comments, i could answer points that i learned from the weekly bible reading.
i even feel like an "idiot" studying for the meetings.
It is soooo liberating knowing TTATT. Actually, makes me feel even smarter now.
It is not all lost as I still share many beliefs with the Org, plus the personality style and niceness of my circle of friends and family makes it all worth the small time sacrifice.
It is overall an okay bunch.
