i would think that a lot of resentment is building up for these for these guys at bethel even though it may not be discussed openly for fear of being abused by the gb in some way.. any way looking at their personality and the extreme phoniness of rubber mouth/face lett, and am#3, and the chicken shit coward leosch who won't even show up in court when subpoena'd to defend his faith or policies, and i'm sure they have many more undesirable traits that repel people instead of attract and that has to work its toll on relationships they have at bethel.. and this shunning thing i'm sure must really erk some at god's house and while they may not be free to voice their discontent i feel it must be building because these guys are complete nincompoops when it come to reality and the only way they know how to give direction is with fear and guilt which i'm sure is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.. and let not forget the issues that are raise when they stole all the congregations savings and the pledge drive for more cash, ban on higher education, lawsuit pay out and etc.... what is this doing to the relation ship they have with legal and accounting i see trouble brewing right thier in the spiritual pair of dice..
I would think that the average Bethelite could not have any impact.
There must be a layer of insulation - and the higher-ups are either full-in, or at least more concerned with being trapped, and unable to do a real job in the real world.
Not too many Barbaras out there (sadly).

an american web-site, green builder media, reports a new chinese development in the use of 3d very fast building techniques.. in one project, winsun (yingchuang construction technique), used their technology to create and build the home in, what they say, was less than 24 hours.
in another project (last year) using last year, using " four huge 3d printers, yingchuang new materials inc. was able to print the shells of 10 one-room structures in 24 hours and at a cost of only about $5,000 per building.
the buildings had to harden at the factory and then be transported and assembled on site.".
This seems surreal.
Do they have any video?
i just had an invite to a district convention later this month in calgary (i guess they get to clean up the saddledome before the stampede, lol).. they gave me a leaflet asking "why did jesus come to earth?
" so i asked them "so why did he come?".
"well, he came to save us".
That was the actual conversation we had when they called.
No mention of a certain website that allows alternative views?

Went in '04 after the Flames' late playoff run.
The floors were disgusting. Dress shoes would stick because of all the pop and beer on the floor.
Brought my own cleaning fluid and paper towels for the Saturday and Sunday to clean the floors.
earlier this morning, i posted off to the the institute of engineers an application for membership as an "engineering associate":.
- today being just over 40 years since the congregation's retards elders made me abandon my apprenticeship.. (in this part of the world, the pre-1975 hype was taken to that level.
not being content to prevent young persons attending university, they went one step further and treated with hostility any youngster who would "tie up five years of their lives" by entering into an apprenticeship.
Tat of a gym member last year.

i'm writing this here because i need someone to talk to, and you're the only folks i know who will understand.
most of the time i think i'm a pretty happy and together person, but lately, i'll see something that reminds me of my family and i'll spontaneously start crying.
i miss them so much and my heart keeps breaking, and even though i have kind people i work and volunteer with, i feel so incredibly lonely sometimes.
You feel so much like my child (and myself).
DubLand destroys who we are as humans.
No one here, or anywhere, has THE ANSWER.
Do you have any family, even aunts, uncles, etc., or friends, whether exDubs or other, with whom you can have a conversation?
my father served in the second world war.
he served in the south pacific.
he loved his time in the military and my mother was more than supporting.
We will all know what happens when we die.......or we won`t.
My condolence to you jean-luc picard for your loss.

I find that the random chance of our own intelligence, AND the incomprehensibleness of evolved emotions, renders the impossibility of a greater power hard to defend.
If indeed, there is a greater being, it is also impossible to believe that he/she is the biggest asshole ever, who has arranged the scenario proffered by WTS (and other religions) to destroy and/or torment those of his/her children that are unwilling or unable to conform to whichever precise standard of conformity said religion requires.
(I am trying to work on my own determination - maybe I'll be the next LRH. Ka-ching.)

And in my mind, I'm convinced it's because He knows when He's bringing the end. And the elders will tell you through Circuit Overseers and direction from the Faithful Slave, there's been a determined effort to reach out to the inactive in the past couple years. Well, frankly, it tells me Jehovah's urgent (sic) about this. It's serious business.
Follows his comment about the nearness of the end.
So, the FDS has been telling CO's and elders to make a strong effort to reactivate the inactive. The CO's and elders are reporting back that they have been making a determined effort.
This means that Jehovah knows when He is bringing the end.
This is WT speak at its best.

This guy's an ipecac... "Do you ever reminisce about the good times you had with Jehovah's people? An encouraging congregation meeting? Thrilling convention? A delightful experience in the ministry? Or, simply a pleasant conversation with a fellow believer?... God, that's beautiful!" Ugh! I think I threw up in my mouth with that one...
I would be happy to trade the magazine (and sentiment) for just giving me my family back. That would be swell cause then, I wouldn't have to "reminisce".
40 years.
