as a true believer in the watchtower, i never knew how truly boring i was until being out for a couple of years and then sitting down with a group of jws and having a conversation..
thats what happened this morning.
i decided to go have breakfast at mcdonalds and a group of jws who were out in service and know me also stopped for breakfast and sat down with me and we talked for about an hour.
"When they are getting old, and are broke, sick, burying their spouse, they'll see that something is indeed wrong. No Panda Petting Paradise for them."
I agree with what Doc posted earlier. We have family members (still in) that are experiencing the above. Some have actually said they know the new system will not be here in their lifetime. Sad!

Sure the JW's had to post something positive! With all the bad PR lately (ARC), they had better do some proactive.
Funny how they NEVER posted anything regarding the Australian Royal Commission on JW.Borg! Hmmm!
today i attended a one-day assembly in my hometown.
i knew when it came time to read the afternoon expenses that it would be an incredibly high and ridiculous amount that was nowhere near the real expenses for that day.
sure enough, after lunch came the announcement.
Great news! Lack of funds, lack of Baptismal candidates and crappy attendance. Good news indeedy!
KEEP VOTING WITH YOU WALLETS, IT'S STARTING TO "PAY OFF!" These bas***ds want to verbally and emotionally abuse everyone? This is the BEST way to get revenge. Hit em in the wallet! Money defines the WT!
I believe the onion is being peeled away (one layer at a time) and starting to stink!

who is a spiritual man according to wtbts?.
this post will resonate most with people who have been long associated with jws and have seen a dramatic change in the spirituality of traveling overseers over the years..
how does a man get appointed as a circuit overseer?
Bottom line...there is nothing special about the Jehovah"s Witnesses anymore. They aren't even Jehovah"s Witnesses anymore...just JW's (JW.org). These people seem to be into "selfies" ("look at me, look at me!") and as someone called it "spiritual competition." We were born into this religion and it seemed in the 80's we were all in this together. You know...the small town feel or the Mom & Pop shop (the good ole days). I don't know anymore, maybe we were just in cult mode. I just don't know! It seemed special back then. Now...it just seems like any other religion. Follow the money. Sad but true! Just no substance anymore. What the hell happened?
The 80's? This is when the Ray Franz thing happened. Has it been crap all along or has the Internet blown it wide open? Give me your feedback everyone...I can't figure it out.
a brother goes to the thursday night meeting, and an elder says that he and a couple of elders would like to visit with him.
" the elder says "well lets wait till after the meeting.
" so he waits.
They keep the drones so busy, they don't have time to think.
We have mentioned some perks to a family member regarding some of the "perks" these members receive from the rank and file. It is just dismissed as, "well, Brothers and Sisters that have businesses, such as jewelry businesses give these members gifts."
There is no reasoning with some. They are so amazed by these men. Like the pope! They can do NO WRONG.
its has been almost two decades if i am correct since ray franz released the heartbreaking books: "crisis of conscience" and "in search of christian freedom".
since then, many of us have been released from bondage of the wts and set free.
by the way, where is ray franz today, what is he doing?
We think and talk about Ray Franz quite a bit. He, to this day, is having an incredible impact on people leaving this terrible cult. Even though he passed away, he is speaking from the grave with is informative books. You rock Ray!
We often wonder if there may someday be another Ray Franz. It would be awesome for one of the GB members or high up member to spill the beans on what is really happening in Crooklyn. Maybe someone out there has a flash drive with lots of juicy tidbits. Wishful thinking, huh?
i just seen this on goggle news.
a report into a hall actually being refurbished!.

Gayle. Yes I noticed the seats. Those chairs have no arm rests either. They look very narrow too. Sitting for 2 hours in those chairs would be uncomfortable. Maybe this is a new tactic to keep everyone from falling asleep?
