"hey brother wasa, come on back to the meetings.
" (after 10 years) so i respond that the situation with pedophiles is out of hand.
they tell me "we" elders have received tons of training on the subject, its not like it was 10 years ago.
What Searcher said:
"Thank you for your concern, but there's nothing I want to talk about at the moment. If things change, I'll let you know."
I wouldn't give them ANYTHING. Once you say something (anything) you now give them the power to dig or go further with you. I would give them NOTHING. They NEVER gave us anything when we were "in". Just returning the favor.
i learned this past week that my wife is now awake.
i just shared the pbs newshour segment with her with no comment other than something along the lines of, "jw story on pbs.".
she is furious at the arrogance of these men.. thats what happens when you get a momma angry!.
Cappytan...Oh...that crazy time report! They call us for those too. The Elders are afraid of the CO ripping them a new one and wanting them to shepherd the flock. I think the #'s are declining faster than they want to admit. They ARE worried! I'm so happified!
Good news about your wife!
yes friends.....this is the comment said to me by an elder!.
"your bad attitude is evident because you don't bring your meeting bag anymore!".
i calmly replied: "but everything i need is on the tablet now......".
You'll NEVER be able to do anything right in this cult. That's just the way it is. Just give us your money, time and complete obedience. STFU and you'll be fine! Oh...and you have the "privilege" of cleaning the Kingdom Hall too.
Sorry you are stuck in this. No one should have to put up with that crap.
has anyone got the quote from the societies publication where they advise to leave the research to them?.
i know in the september 2007 km they warned about independent study groups but i'm sure there was a quote from the 50's or 60's where they told the rank publisher to leave the research to the gb?.
"This organization has never disappointed us."
Really? This is the main reason we left, DISAPPOINTMENT. That's the only thing this cult is good at. Then we learned TTATT and now we are free!
just thought i would share what i learned today sitting for several miserable hours at the circus assembly.. while i took "notes" i just cannot stand trying to type out all the details.
so suffice it to say the entire program can be covered with these few observations.. do more!
give more!
OFS. Do you know how many were baptized?
Thank you for sharing.

What a "loving" organization! Can't you just feel the love?

Yadda, yadda, yadda.
We've been gone for 2+ years. Same ole same ole.
Sorry you had to attend.
Regarding the Bethel speaker...membership has it's privileges!
So glad we're free!!!

Saturday afternoon part: Kind Elders. Now that one is funny. Why do the Elders need to be reminded to be kind. Don't they have Jehovahs holy spirit?
i have heard that at the international conventions and even at us headquarters, the governing body travel with entourages or bodyguards.
does anyone know this to be a fact?
if so, why?
heyo,.
your favorite garrett here.
so, i'm about to have an elder tell me allll about the failed 1975 doctrine.
