Eventually that is all that will be left in this organization . The power hungry and arrogant. They won't have anybody else to feed off of but one another . It will be interesting when they start combining congregations and one COBE has to give up his almighty position and move in a congregation with another arrogant COBE. We know of several people who have moved out of congregations because they couldn't stand others. It will be fun to watch when they are all thrown back in together again. Oh the fun! :)

by dropoffyourkeylee inat a 3-day convention in nairobi, kenya this week 12-2-16 through 12-4-16, they had 70,000+ attendance, and there were 792 baptized (i presume the baptism was yesterday).
i was amazed to hear this; i guess now we know where the wt's growth is coming from..

That's not what WT wants. They want the dubs with money! Not too many hefty donations coming from Kenya.

Did you ever experience true kindness in the Org?
by HereIgo ini remember when i was about 17, i started shunning an older brother because he was disfellowshipped.
when i graduated high school, he pulled me aside and said " i know you are not supposed to talk to me, but i want you to have this" it was a gift that he had custom made for me.
i was so blown away, we never even had a real conversation before.

No matter how strong or nice....once you leave they will abandon you. GUARANTEED! True friends don't abandon you....not matter how bad things are, they will be there for you. That's how true friends roll.

Lawyer up and fight the fine fight. Tell your ex to contact your lawyer NOT YOU and hang up. If you want to celebrate the holidays or be with friends that are doing so, that is your business. When your wife explains this to the judicial system, they will think she's nuts. All the "worldly" people think the JW's are batsh*t cra2!

Showing Kindness To Strangers
by FedUpJW ini feel pretty foolish after reading the drivel in today's wt.
here i was operating under the impression that showing kindness to strangers was something that one did unselfishly.
boy was i wrong!

Kindness? JW's kind? Do an experiment . Tell all of your kind JW "friends" that you don't want to come back to the Kingdumb hall anymore. See how kind your JW "friends" are then. We used to have kind JW friends at one time. Now we do not attend anymore. Guess what? All the kind JW "friends" are long gone. GOOD RIDDANCE TO THEM ALL. IT'S THEIR LOSS! Life is to short to waste on stupid people!

Yes we did but unfortunately it was all conditional love. Once you leave the borg, they are done with you. That is not love or friendship. We have made "worldly" friends who seem to like us for who we are and not what we are.

A Brother refusing to pray?
by HereIgo ini remember there was a brother in my congregation while i was in who would comment at all meetings but if asked to pray at a meeting or meeting for service he would always politely refuse.
i always found it odd, i assumed as a young bro, that a bro was kind of obligated to pray if asked.
knowing what i know now, it could have been a guilty conscience or maybe he just wanted to be lowkey.

Do you still go to meetings?
by NikL inas i was sitting in the meeting last night i thought about this question.. sometimes it feels really lonely because i don't connect with most others in the congregation and i have to be so careful with the ones with whom i do associate.. quick rundown on my life...got baptized at 17...married at 20...became inactive at 28 wife still active though...came back to meetings with her 20 years later just to keep her quiet and see if they had changed (for a while i actually thought they had)...now i am still inactive and haven't gone out in service or anything.
i just go to meetings with my wife who is happy as a lark to have me there with her...just go to meetings and think...and think...and think.... anyway, i just wondered if there are any out there like me who are going to meetings and nothing else?.

Have not been in over 3 years. We figured out that the JW's really don't care about you. They may be pleasant to you and associate with you UNTIL you no longer attend. That is not friendship.
As for family (in our case)...we are not quite "spiritual" enough to be in their presence.
I will never enter a Kingdom Hall again. NEVER!
