.. the new wbt$ donation arrangement/ jw kingdom hall bank account theft... is a very hot topic right now... the wbt$ is literally going to clean out kingdom hall bank accounts,filled with donations from jws... that theft is going to happen world wide..the wbt$ is going to steal from 7 million plus jw`s... .. we have jw elders here on jwn,that know whats going on... they "serve" in kingdom halls,they are "supposed" to be looking after the welfare of the average jw... they know there is a 4 page letter,only one page will be read to the congregation..the rest will be kept secret... they know the wbt$ is about to steal jw donations..on a world wide scale!!!...
.. i would like to know what you active jw elders are going to do about this??!!...
are you going to let "your" congregation know about the other 3 secret pages?...
I'm wondering what would happen to a congregation whose elders refused to go along with this new money grab and didnt hand over their money or pledge any amount at all.
Don`t forget the new instant appointment / deletion by the CO arrangement.
No loose ends.
i guess i am just venting.
its a mess.
i just dont even know where to start with this crap.
Hey There.
PM sent.
anyone else get the distinct impression that jws are being worked up into a frenzy with all the changes and activity nowadays?
by the end of august, there will have been four campaigns inside of a year.
one last november, a memorial campaign, a convention campaign and an advertise jw.org campaign.. then there's the conventions with all the hooplah around that with all the video, and the aggrandizement of synchronized gb talks.
What's your speculation about 144, 000?
as kid i remember a break of 15 minutes between the public talk and the wt study.
all the new ones and "weak" ones ran out to smoke.
loved to see the attendant round them up to come back in when the droning began again.
Lots of threads for me to catch up.
I remember the smoke-break after the talk. But it didn't add extra time, so it was a welcome break.
Another oddity back then was the WT study - the paragraph was Q and A'd, and after the Q & A's, then the paragraph was read by the reader.
It seemed weird when it was switched to read before the Q & A's.
so it's' been 8 months since i was disfellowshiped.
i moved out of my mothers house accross the country to room with a friend.
things have been going ok, it's just strange to be so far away from everything that felt familiar, even the meetings.
Do you have any friends from your old hall that still supported you?
Initially, I was surprised at the number of youths that lead "double-lives" (I.e. they're human, not drones).
They've made a huge difference in my child keeping sane.
do you think romantic relationships work better in the long run if both partners are roughly intellectual equals?.

There are way too many variables for a definitive answer.
The sad thing is that most in their youth do not know what they will want when they're older.
wow.
you read about it here.
but, it still doesn't prepare you.. our hall passed a resolution to give about 15,000 to the wt.
How much was the monthly amount?
it's official.
the saturday convention program has a talk.
it is titled arrive maimed, lame, and with one eye.
Looks like some elders will finally be able to start meting out Mosaic law justice.
it's been a while since i've posted anything about myself.
i've been on jwn for a couple of years.
my leaving the organization was not because i lost my faith, but i left because of my faith.
It feels like a twin life to mine, only you're farther up the road than me.
"The worse fear was that she and I would survive Armageddon and then I'd be stuck with her for all eternity! If that had happened, I was going to be the first suicide in paradise!"
Always loved Meatloaf - for a few years now, the lyrics have a lot more meaning.
Thanks for the post.
i read this quote at tom's site (thanks tom!
) and then looked it up for myself on the wt cd.
this is truly disturbing and shows their true mindset....this is from the nov. !5th 1952 question from readers.

He should have read the red parts in court.
Interesting that the elder said that it's okay to say Hi! at the supermarket.
