  Thank you Doc. Got my entire immediate family out too! I enjoy reading your posts.

  JW Gone Bad: You are absoulutely right! Elders and their wives just can't help themselves! Meddling drones. There are ALOT of people waking up and the internet is becoming a double edged sword for the org. Ha! The Bethel Boys are on here too (reading and watching). They can't help themselves either.

  The org is shooting themselves in the foot. Watch...it's gonna be fun. It will never completely go away but the best revenge is affecting someones cash flow. It's already starting to happen. Many Millionaires go bust...I've seen it before.

  I found this thread fascinating. I was a Lurker a year ago. Now I know the TTATT and could NEVER return.

  I am just curious about the current elders listed (XBEHERE, thedog1, pixel, Saltheart Foamfollower, Stand For Pure Worship, His Excellency and Socrateswannabe). Sorry if I do not have all the names. How are you all currently doing? It was difficult for me to fade, I can't imagine what it must be like for you and your families (being Elders).

  My Father was an elder (deceased) my entire life. I wonder how happy he was. He always hated JC committes and DF'ing. He was one of the good elders (not too many left nowdays). He probably (if he were alive today) have been set on the back burner like alot of the good ole timers.

  Like I said...your stories are facinating to me and I would love to also hear how all the former Elders/MS's and their families are holding up.

  We have to remember the Elders/Ex Elders wives too. Life is to Short (pg.6) had a sad story. How many Elders wives feel this way? So much damage has been done. I wonder how she and others like her are doing.

  Since my fade (about 2 years) I am finding true happiness and freedom I have never felt in my entire life. No more guilt, judging and watching the incredible hypocrisy.

  I wish you all the best!

  i never had the privilege to serve at bethel .. therefore, community help is greatly appreciated friends.. do the gb members have their own living quarters separate from the average jw?.

  does their "busy" schedule permit field service, if yes, how many hours a month?.

  how long are their weekly wednesday meetings?.

  Amen Data Dog. Spot on.

  These men (including the CO's) love the brothers and sisters with the money. I have witnessed it for years. They know the Brothers who supply the nice homes, vacation homes, best booze and entertainment. They are so detached from what the normal everyday working men and women have to struggle through. They could care less if you have given your last dime, they will gladly take it. Who wouldn't love all the attention and perks. Check out some of the homes they have sold and purchased. I wonder who got to stay in those nice places? Hmmm. Signing Bibles...just wrong.

  Governing Body new Branch letter begging for donations !

  i just want the governing body to know how "happified" i am today.

  keep sending those branch letters to the congregation(s) about sending your donations in.

  not only did you humiliate the rank and file with your tony morris tight pants talk but now you are begging the same people you humiliated for money.

  I agree with Committee Chairman. People just don't have the money anymore. Some of the ones that do are getting fed up with all the money grabbing and decide to stop donating. Of course, there is a Sucker born every minute, these are the ones that will continue to support this organization. Maybe these "glorious men" should take their own advise. When my family was struggling in a bad economy we were told to trust and rely upon Jehovah. Hey Governing Body..."trust in Jehovah". Easier said than done!

  Thank you Pixel.

  Isrealite men gave gifts, in proportion to the blessing the Jehovah had given him.

  Translation: "The more money you give the bigger the blessing Jehovah will give you?" Unbelieveable!

  I feel sorry for all the hardworking Brothers and Sisters, that really believe these guys are "the ones", who are barely making ends meet that are turning their last dollar over to these greedy men. I pray everyday that Karma (what goes around comes around) kicks these guys butts.

  It was read this week. We are in the US branch. It was titled donations in support of Kingdom interests worldwide. I hope someone has a copy to share with the rest of us.

  Bigmac - Thank you for the welcome! Been lurking here for a few years. Still have to keep our personal details under wraps for now!

Not only did you humiliate the Rank and File with your Tony Morris tight pants talk but now you are begging the same people you humiliated for money. You just can't make this stuff up. Are these guys stupid or clueless? Maybe both? These guys just don't get it.

  They required people to travel farther for International Conventions this year. Not all of us have someone to pay all our bills...i.e. mortgage, health insurance, car payments, etc. They even have their meals prepared, cleaned up and the laundry done. Are they getting mani/pedis too? I have a job and I don't have a nice pair of cufflinks or a pinky ring. Keep it coming Governing Body...it's waking ALOT of people up (it woke me up)! How long do you think it will take for them to put a donate button on JW.org? I'm betting within the next 6 months to a year.

  All of you lurkers...WAKE UP! Ask yourself...why is a one day assembly, on a paid off assembly hall, costing us thousands of dollars per day. Is tolit paper going up in price?

  I once read, "the evil prosper, and the innocent pay the bills for them".

  An Elder once corrected me for my concluding prayer. I never prayed the same after that (made me self conscious).

  Don't waste your time. They are all brainwashed drones. Most Elders are Legends in their own minds. They will just peg you as a troublemaker and discard you.

  One assembly we attended the speaker suggested that the brothers and sisters who were unemployed should pioneer. One brother took their suggestion and pioneered. Then his wife complained to the elders that her husband was not taking care of the family. The elders told the brother to get a job. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. You can NEVER do enough or do the right thing in this Organization. Tell the elders you need some financial help and they will run so fast it will make your head spin.
