  I like the feel of this. It seems to pretty much be anonymous for the majority. I hope we can clear this up to the people being confused saying 'don't DA' and 'beware of the repercussions'. I get the sense most want this anonymous and thus our increased frustration. I am able to send hundreds, heck, I will send it to all the local halls in my area. HA.

  I feel like 8/8/16 is SO far away, I would rather do it sooner than later. Seems like a good idea now, then life happens, and many of us will have new battles. Perhaps I am the lone ranger on this one?

  Also, where do we find the kingdom hall mailing addresses? In my area they are PO Boxes not the KH physical address.

  I agree with Petraglyph. Sending it to the local level, I would even send to surrounding halls I am not in. It will make them paranoid and anxious, who sent them. To HQ, it will only be seen as a prank= trash bin. In my corporate job, we had PR situations we handled for, the top, telling lower management to ignore. It's much better at a local level I believe. Where there is power, but actually no power to make decisions as there is on the HQ level. Just my two cents.

  The consensus seems to be an anonymous DA. We need someone who does well with the written word to gather all these ideas. I like what Sabin above said. Even if it's not a DA ...Things that are wrong, inaccurate, disgusting. We are only in for family, we don't believe, we are elders, pioneers, bethelites...I don't know, a lot of you do much better with writing.

  It's terribly juvenile, but I have thought for a while it would be so funny to send DA letters in the names of local elders. Just cause mass confusion and distrust.

  I think doing it anonymously is hilarious. I am in. Never would I identify myself in one. I have a hundreds of dollars in stamps,I'm willing to help however this ends up.

  Large Increase in Trolley Witnessing

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when the org implements its bethelite "genocide" and demotes many members of the "worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovahs witnesses" into lowly regular pioneers, many more trollies will have to be found in order for such ones to rack up their required monthly hours.. how many are actually going to be shocked by this into waking up?

  The shocking part will be removal of fancy bethelite title, with insult that they weren't good enough to be kept.... On top of it... The waking up won't come until they have to get a job! The horror! A worldly boss, working for $10 an hour?! If they're lucky. Then....they will be asked and part of the collective to donate! Oh my gosh....once they get a paycheck with taxes withheld....

  all their sputtering about being spiritual and putting the kingdom first, met with the reality of supporting themselves. I see more hate and anger directed at those who went to college and used their own mind to reason about the future.

  Another ruse?

  could the stopping of construction be just another ruse to squeeze money from the rank and file?.

  it will certainly generate buzz like nothing else..

  I agree with safe at home.

  the past year family members who are all in, pioneers and barely making it. Have been so off put, upset, and frustrated by the local assembly builds alone with such grandiose buildings, while we are told to live simple. I think the majority will say, welcome to our world.

  now, enter the emotional the end is here, satan is against us, attacking us. yah that's different...

  I don't know what more they can get. Diehards may give their retirement or savings, I think those are the rarest. Those with money, I'm privy to a dozen in my circle, were laughing/irritated at the May broadcast saying "count the cost, the way we do as families and businessmen, you're not getting our money." The rest of jws are broke, the other half are faders.

  Brooklyn Layoffs and Halt to Kingdom Hall construction projects

  by James Jack in

  a good source just just told me that at morning worship today that the governing body announced that a total of 1600 bethelites will be let get go and not transferred to warwich when the last property is sold in brooklyn and all kingdom hall building projects are on hold for at least a year so that all the focus will be on the preaching work.

  Do you find it hard to be around active JW's now?

  by EdenOne in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i do - actually, it's become close to unbearable.. and herein lies the paradox: i tried to fade in the illusion that i might keep contact with family and friends still "in".

  was it worth it?

  because not only most of them shun me anyways, but i find it almost unbearable to be around them, especially when the cult chit chat kicks in: every cute animal video clip triggers endless comments about glimpses of the future paradise and how "god did it"; those greasy praises to the organization and the governing body; the dumb awe about every jw broadcast and those cheesy music videos; the endless drivel against other religions when one knows perfectly well that we're no better than them; the endless flow of "experiences" of field service or spectacular conversions into "the truth"; the relentless congregation gossip; and so on .... i ask myself: is this why i am fading for ...?

  I'm finding it very difficult. While visiting my parents jws stopped by. I heard about calls, lame hall stuff....and the end being right here they can taste it. Hubby lectures me that they think they are doing the right thing... I can't stand the lectures.... As a born in, you can't help but be obsessive, enthralled, and disqusted at the same time.
