I despised Saturday morning ministry.
Assemblies and conventions became a major bore.
I enjoyed cleaning the bathrooms.
I hated Kingdom Hall / Assembly Hall yard maintenance.
I hated talking to zombies after the meetings about BS.
I loved non-Saturday morning ministry and I loved giving talks.

condemned the perpetrators of the pyramid scam 700 jehovah's witnesses.

But WHY did these Witnesses even have any money to invest (and lose!).
They didn't.

The Court emphasizes that most of those harmed by this scam had a precarious financial position, so that its financial position was very poor after delivering all the money they have earned in their working lives "induced by an abuse of confidence of those who considered their 'protectors elders'.

this my friends will help in a long struggle that me and my girlfriend are having.........does the toilet paper unravel over or under.

thank you for your cooperation on this timely matter...

GoodHousekeeping Magazine, Toilet Paper Manufacturers and Hotels say over, so the overwhelming consensus from those that appear to matter is over. Why not compromise? You get it your way one roll; she gets it her way one roll.
Why not have 2 toilet paper holders in every bathroom, one over and one under?

It seems the majority of apostates approve of toilet paper being over instead of under. Expect the WBTS to now firmly stand against this Satanic practice.
Surely, the 24 elders in heaven have directed the current GB on this. Does Bethel not have a manual that includes this vital element?

To avoid overloading the septic system, publishers are advised to use only one sheet per toilet visit.
Surely, this could be an invaluable position for CA's and DC's - not just a bathroom attendant supervising paper towel usage, but a bathroom attendant passing one square at a time, to a total maximum of 3 squares per visit.

"the Walking Dead" special tract campaign in August!
by stuckinarut2 in

2. beliefs
i obviously have an active imagination.... i can just see the parallels between "the walking dead" and the masses of witnesses hyped up during the august campaign!.

big crowds of slow walking witnesses with no logical brain function, moving en-mass towards non-witnesses....with only one combined thought "must leave tract".....as they mumble to each other......dragging feet......like zombies..... when one person in the community accepts a tract, they are then the target of every witness who smells their 'interest' and is swamped with more and more visits...big crowds pile on top of them, stripping away at their very individuality and being....until they become one of them!.

Simon:
When you blast and kudo posts about different themes, then why, for heaven's sakes, do you allow these overt zombist posts?
It's 2015.
Are zombies not people, just because they are a little different?

I grew up in a "under" household.
However, I analyzed (anal ised ? WTH ) the germ factor, and deduced that over has far fewer chances of contaminated contact than under.
Spend some time (you have time while you're there, right), do the math.
Over is the only logical way.
Not my dad's way, but it's now my way.
Over and out.

Who Is Engineering the Re-branding of Jehovahs Witnesses

is it an outside source?.

an inside job?

maybe the younger gb "helpers"?.

Too many things are happening all at once. It's a well thought out and organized plan. It's outside help I'm sure.
There is absolutely outside consulting taking place.
Given the seniority BS in Bethel, it could only be an outside firm able to make so many changes, so quickly, whether it's a JW PR firm or not.
(BTW J.R. Brown has been the JW media guy for a long, long, time.)

alert..............alert.....breaking news .......... john cedars of jwsurvey has pranked called governing body member anthony morris iii at bethel .

over 2 minutes of pranking .

as i type he is editing the recording into a video .
berrygerry

Wouldn't have changed a thing. There is NO WAY any "serious topic" would have been discussed.
I am divided on what could have been accomplished.
But, TOMO sounded human, with a genuine laugh.
Far different from his rants - these guys MUST have EVERYTHING scripted for them.

some of you may have seen my previous post regarding my concerns with leaving the organization.. so many of you responded and were so kind and helpful, that is was rather overwhelming.

i didn't expect so many responses.

a lot of you also provided links to research as well as some books to read.

I feel free and my depression has actually gotten much better. I think it was caused by my living a life that I did not agree with.
Garrett:
For me, I suffered EXTREME cognitive dissonance after EVERY meeting.
Meetings with elders had discussions whereby, we are told that, after every meeting and after every field ministry outing. "Do you not feel better after?" and I would say No, I felt worse.

Here's to your success in facing the real world - instead of living in the WTS fantasy.
