  A sincere message to those from the organisation monitoring my posts....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  so, i know there are some from my congregation or from bethel who monitor my posts..... maybe you're looking for something to catch me out?.

  just a question: rather than trying to find fault with me, have you stopped and looked into the issues or facts about the organisation that caused me to come to a place like this forum??.

  facts are there for anyone to find nowadays....one just has to be willing to pull their head out of the sand.....

  I think the elders do monitor the site as much or more than anyone.

  Next are we supposed to believe they don't look at porn either?

  They are hypocrites, trying to make sense of their own horrible lives trapped in a cult.

  I'm so glad I rejected the grooming towards becoming an elder.
  As I reflect on my own exit, it was the moment I gained the courage to stop accepting "privileges of service" without feeling guilty, is when the slow awakening began. maybe 10 years ago. maybe even around the year 2000-01. New millennium, Sept 11th, wars, etc... and nothing.

  How long can "soon" truly remain an urgency?
  JW lurkers: Think hard on this. When in your long stint as a JW has the end not been "soon". Now read the definition of "soon".

  Stop living the lie and begin living YOUR life.

  As to elders monitoring and looking for apostates in their midst, yes they do.
  

  I remember a brief phone conversation with two elders that called me to try and rope me into a j/c. I told them that I was interested in creating a "media frenzy" regarding my situation.

  I missed this little slip up by one of them, Rob Council.
  He said "aren't you already doing that?"

  I missed this detail until this morning.
  I hadn't done anything other than post on this forum, which he had clearly seen. The timing is documentable.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/93320002/exposing-ones-identity-when

  They tipped there hand that they were watching. He said it in front of Mike Mirich, who was on speaker phone with him, as was my wife.

  I hope the entire body of elderz got to hear the call, or they recorded it because I told them all to "Fuck Off!" in a loud, clear voice. Like at my baptism. "Yes!"

  Brooklyn news on sending the elderly packing

  by I am a Bible Student in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  johnny the bethelite on this program talks about the older bethelites being targeted by watchtower.they are getting rid of those at bethel who are 65-87 years old, some being anointed even the widows of former governing body members who gave decades of loyal service time to the watchtower organization.. the reasons the very elderly are being expelled are money in that for their age range they cost so much to cloth, fed, and medicate, having problems from high blood pressure to dementia.

  they include persons such as sister henschel whose husband had been a watchtower president and marian sydlik whose parents are long dead.. https://soundcloud.com/rick-fearon/jan-16-2016-johnny-the-bethelite-watchtower-insider-host-his-radio-program-from-brooklyn-ny .

  I will say this for an absolute fact:

  Long time bethelite James Shamus, is no longer there.
  He married a wealthy JW from my home town of Napa, Mary-Rose Selby.
  

  She moved to bethel around twelve years ago. James "Jim", is well known for his voice and even live acting of Moses on the early JW videos on DVD before JW Broadcasting.

  They fall into a very small minority of JWs that "serve"/live in luxury.

  When the time came to leave bethel for them recently, (last 6-8 months ) what did they care? Their rental properties and business ventures in Napa have been making them money. In fact the JWs renting their house would have to go, so they could move right in. I know this, as I helped the JW family move out, right before I was DF'd...

  I can show you the house near Foothill and Laurel on Google if you doubt my experience.

  I have to think most elderly JWs haven't taken proper ( any ) retirement steps while in bethel. Most are going to be in big trouble as they find themselves living in poverty, getting government handouts.

  Quite few from Napa have bethel ties, actually.
  Mario Moreno ( WT lawyer ) visits here quite frequently.

  I visit and post here very often.

  Sometimes for over 8 hours at a time...

  I keep up, as I have a dear wife and her family that I would love to see come out.

  On the other hand, I don't want to be the one that exposes the lie. I'd much rather be here to comfort them after they find out by some other means.

  I don't know if that makes sense?

  Maybe it's time to mention to the kids that attending the meetings is "their choice".

  They may quit right after you enlighten them on this reality.

  No Sports Cars Please!

  by snugglebunny in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i read on a jw forum that jw's came in for disapproval if they drove either sports cars or 2-door cars.

  the reasoning was that a driver couldn't easily take fellow dubbies out preaching in such a vehicle.

  was that ever official policy or just local nonsense from a grumpy po?.

  Before I left the JWs we had a nice Volvo.

  Fast forward to last Feb, I'm out and gone from WT world.
  The car was getting old so, I bought my wife a new daily driver. ( which she loves )

  
  

  I have had sports cars ever since I was a teen.
  Here's mine:

  I asked her how she liked the new song.
  She said it made her cry and she loved it.

  Women in this Org are looking for a Father Figure

  this is a rant mainly in response to my wife's reaction to the stupid clam meeting last night.

  bear in mind, while i am not sexist, i am also not politically correct.

  .... it is no secret that the women in this organization outnumber the men.

  This is a very interesting topic for me, as my wife if being guided by the GB.

  I need to think this through. Should I ask her to read the opening post?
  I told her I would not share anymore TTATT with her.

  I answered my own question.
  We have had over a week of very good days in a row.

  Why spoil that...

  Umbertoecho here.

  hello people.. i'm tired and a bit sick at the moment but i can't let anyone think that this is going to go away.... i am able to tell you a few things in order to prevent any confusion in the minds of those who are thinking that nothing will come of this arc;that nothing will effect the wtbts in america and other places.. i have been there and given my testimony.

  helen milroy and her assistants were there along with another group of people who are there to lend assistance if you crack up at any time during or after the hearing.

  i did not crack up but can see how this happens.. security is tight and anonymity is sacred to them as they want to protect all who come forward.

  Lurkers: A truth is either true, or it isn't. There is no in between.

  by cappytan in

  2. friends

  truth is absolute.

  there is no such thing as 2=1 or 1=2.. if one starts out with the equation 2=1, one has already failed.. truth = truth.

  you cannot change whether something is truth or not.. when the organization teaches one thing as a truth (ex.
