wow Skeeter. You have overcome a lot and should be proud you overcame so much. You can't fix toxic people. Distance is the best armor.

WTS one step closer to "1984" - JW literature rewritten in online versions
by sir82 inlikely everyone here is familar with the novel "1984" - "he who controls the past, controls the future.
he who controls the present, controls the past".. take a look at wol.jw.org, insight book, topic "faithful and discreet slave".. current online wording: http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200001485.
jesus trained the apostles for the role they would have after pentecost 33 c.e.

They started doing this in the 70s with the multi-year bound volumes. They would simply omit references they didn't like anymore.
Got worse with the CDs- they could omit AND re-write.
Perfected with online - they can now "adjust" the minute someone online (like on JWN) catches them in a lie.

The Mrs and I LOVE that Southern Coastal d r a w l . I had an old boss at a Bond brokerage who used his Charleston accent to close multi-million deals to Silicon Valley millionaires. Very effective and charming.
On the other hand my father worked hard to loose his Appalchian accent in College so he could move up in a west coast corporation.
I LOVE variety and have found it is very foolish to guess IQ based on accent.

They can live on ANYTHING...including the glue in bookbinding. So get rid of all those old WTBTS publications!
Outside they live in leaf mold, compost, dog poop...you name it...and can wander into the house through tiny cracks.
They were thick in the old 124 Bethel building basement and kitchen. We moped everyday with amonia and used Boric Acid, worked OK and was cheap....but NEVER got rid of ALL of them.

Student fined for stealing US$4 000
21 hours agoBy Tunomukwathi Asino
WINDHOEK – A Polytechnic of Namibia (PoN) student probably has to ensure she does not miss the next Jehovah’s Witnesses gathering, as it appears her faith helped her escape prison.
She was fortunate Magistrate Jermaine Muchali sentenced her to a fine and did not send her to jail for stealing from a fellow member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses Church, where she lives as an orphan.
Selma Nambi, 21, was convicted of stealing US$4 000 (N$40 000) from Nadia Lourdes Manuel Da Silva, who is also a member of the church, on 8 February this year.
She was arrested on 24 July.
Magistrate Muchali decided yesterday to sentence her to a fine of N$15 000 and in default of payment to spend 12 months in prison.
“I can safely say that you are selfish,” the magistrate said when delivering sentence.
He said the complainant could have used the money to help someone.
The court was informed Nambi used N$5 000 to pay for her tuition, and she spent the rest to pay for printing costs for study material, buying new clothes and textbooks and to eat out at restaurants.
Nambi faced a charge of theft.
She pleaded guilty to the charge.
Nambi stood with her back facing the gallery, and listened attentively while the magistrate spoke. She is majoring in human resources, and the magistrate felt if she were sent to prison, her studies would stop.
She paid back N$10 600 to Da Silva. The magistrate pointed out that Nambi was only arrested in July and some people were wrongly accused.
Nambi represented herself. The hearing began on Monday and continued yesterday.
Prosecutor Verinao Kamahene did not recommend a sentence, and left it up to the magistrate to decide the appropriate punishment.
On Monday, the student wasted no time and pleaded guilty. Her legal rights were explained to her on Monday and she was provided with options whether to get a government funded lawyer through legal aid if she could not afford one.
Nambi indicated that she would represent herself.
“I understand and I will represent myself, I plead guilty,” she said.
“I stole the money, even if I have a lawyer, the facts are that I stole the money,” she said on Monday

EXCELLENT INVESTMENT. If ADA compliant, they can take advantage of H.U.D. programs for poor former full-time ministers. The senior pays a reduced rent $50-$300+ and the Federal Government (aka Satan's system ) makes up the difference for the assisted living market rent. Say $700-$1200+++ . !! A real money maker!!
Also you can have a small plane fly out to the nearby Bahamas to check on the offshore banking and hedge funds!!
