my first post! (long read sorry in advance)

by Letts Party in

long time lurker, first time poster here finally looking to get some things off my chest.

i've always been a very curious person with tons of questions about everything, and i also care deeply particularly about societal issues like social injustice, racism, and homophobia.

that, coupled with how boneheaded all the elders in my congregation are (except for one), led me to ask even more questions that led me to find ttatt.. .

all throughout my life tuesdays were my meeting nights.

well tuesdays and thursdays to be more precise, when we had book study but book study was at my house so it wasn't terrible.

anyways as a kid i hated coming home from school, doing homework and then going to the meetings.

Ha! You could have been writing straight from my brain, I felt/feel exactly the same! Tuesdays was the worst, the group was at my house too!

Now at least it's only one night a week for me.

Blown away-- where to go from here

i stumbled upon this website a few weeks ago due to the jw.org ridiculousness, since then i haven't been able to pull myself away.

the thoughts, feelings, and concerns i have had the past few years aren't just mine.

it's global.

It's a revelation for sure to realise you've been deceived for all your life, but it gets better matey, hang in there and take it slow. Very tempting to blurb it all out but along with that comes the real possibility of scuppering your future chances to talk again as they'll retreat into their tortoise-like shell humming listen obey and be blessed...

Watchtower Takes in $2 Million Conditional Loan and Won't Return the Loan, Is it True?

by BucketShopBill in

i heard several stories of the watchtower taking in loans and donations given by rich witnesses who have fallen on to hard times and asked for the money back and the watchtower won't return the money.

have you ever heard of the watchtower only paying the money back on "conditional loans" once legal experts get invovled?

one of the stories that is around is a family donated a large chunk of their nest-egg to the watchtower and the husband got sick and the branch refused to contact him when he asked for his conditional donation back, would the watchtower screw people out of their money?

Waaaaat?

References please, court documents, anything provable?

glad to see the forum is going strong, lots of new names and stories......and it has only been a couple of months!.

the wt really has no chance in such a world of free and accessible information.

keep fighting guys, the freedom once you are loose of the governing body is awesome, you will be amazed how long you ignored the stench off bullshit as your ability to smell it returns.. and on that note ;) x. .
