Orphan crow,
I was thinking the EXACT same thing. The shame lies with the person doing this with Cynthia alive while she needed some of it to actually live off of, and it was her husbands work. They "paid" more than any publisher or advocate to write that book. Its a meaningful book, and should be made available to all at very little cost. But it should not be pirated.
I don't know who the original is. I don't know if we are both out of the loop, or if that is something not really known.
omg.
i have the entire service group coming over for dinner on sunday.
i don't mind when my wife has a couple over that are cool, but with more than 2 or 3 extra people in my house i get nervous.
Nah. Its your house. You got this. Welcome them, talk to them (not about anything JW related....change subjects), and enjoy yourself. Offer them beers, just be you, and show them you aren't a fire breathing satan worshiper.
Its your home. Your turf. Don't adjust for them. they are just people.
.just plucking up the courage to introduce myself....living in ireland but from the uk originally.
..drifted away due to depression (from all things truth related lol and bereavements and my m.s husband cheating on me and leaving !!
) few years ago but they recently hunted me down (they contacted me the day my other half was diagnosed with cancer!
Welcome. I can feel your pain. I'm so sorry. Its incredible to me to think that I used to justify this sort of treatment of people!
Maybe show them the video of Bro Jackson commenting that elders are not spiritual police that seek out people to enforce rules?
You are better off. I hope your family comes around. More than anything, I am sorry to hear about so much loss in your life.

this is what it states in the middle of the article:.
"around the idomeni camp, canteens have mushroomed to sell food to the refugees.
one of the businesses i cover is owned by jws and the father and 2 sons knew me as an active brother until 3 years ago when i told one of them i no longer attend the meeting.
today the father and one of the sons asked me if i was still inactive.
i told them it has been more than 5 years since i last been at a meeting.
I usually say something along the lines of, "the broadcast and brochure address leaving over guilt, anxiety, or some personal issue. But I left for matters of conscience, not any of those things."
so, here's some news from my country.
there was this 20 year old jw girl who was a rookie driver.
she was in the car with her parents and for some reason decided to cross a railroad right before a train was coming.
not sure if this was posted before... but apparently for the wt a woman's smaller cranium than a man's shows she was designed to be in submission to the man!!
unbelievable he dared to say such things!.

This guy is a member of the governing body. You know.....the "guardians of doctrine" by their own mouth. the faithful and discreet slave. The "skirt of a Jew" that you must grab on to.
And yet to me....he sounds like a A-hole.
Elders don't distinguish between the two. That video is interesting, because they basically make the person playing the part of a repentant person, look like an idiot. A lying idiot.
I think most elders going into a committee meeting, with the exception of a few kind hearted people that don't allow full indoctrination, with the intent to lay down the law. I mean.....they didn't get all dressed up NOT to dance. Know what I mean?

Guys the WT is not in serious financial hardship. They may not be where they want to be, but they horde cash and are very conservative, which is good for them financially.
Enough is never enough, and that strategy helps them when there is actually not enough. this could not be a better investment turn around for the branch. they are selling at the top of the market, when Brooklyn has completely revitalized.
To those who may think "well what about the law suits, molestation, etc...".....this is simply not big enough to seriously dent them. For example, i know there are three firms that currently in the US handle their law suits portfolio (non-JW). If each one of them bills 100K a month currently, we are still only looking at 3.6 million for the year. Plus maybe another 5 for out of court settlements. that is about 1% of the sale of this ONE building complex.
