I would love to say that I feel sorry for these guys, but I can't. So many of them were cruel and heartless with the congregations they served. They talked down to those who got higher education, who had to support a family, etc. We are witnessing some aging family members who were cruel or just judgmental to those of us living a "normal" life. Now these judgmental elderly ones are wondering why NO ONE is around to look after them. They forget how they treated others.

"Out of a cong of 65/70 publishers there were about 35/40 in attendance. What a crock of shit."
Karma is doing her job! Good news for us who no longer get to see the numbers decline.
We were "stumbled" by Anthony Morris' talk a few years ago about tight pants, spanx and Brothers not being worth a damn if they are not MS's by the age of 23. The GB can "stumble" the sheep but that's ok, they are the Almighty GB!! The hypocrisy is through the roof!!!

by pale.emperor intuesday, february 27. let the elders who preside in a fine way be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard in speaking and teaching.—1 tim.
5:17.. those related to us in the faith certainly merit honor and respect.

Yes. While we were still attending, an Elder in our congregation was on a JC with some friends of ours. He was brutal to them. Hateful and an assh*le. He was due double honor! He was an Elder, a prince, sitting at Jesus right hand. Just a few short weeks later it came to light that this Elder (Mr. Double Honor) was screwing around on his wife. So much for that holy sprit! Double honor, my a**!

And we wonder why these guys think they are something special. I wouldn't trust these "men" to haul my trash out, much less take my problems to them.

Victor French (Mr. Edwards on Little House on the Prairie) had this done at his funeral. Great idea. I think I will have this done at mine. It sure would make some smile!
"At his funeral, his humorous farewell for friends and family was "Eat Shit, Love Victor," a message displayed overhead by an airplane."

Maybe they will sell the KH to a church. They sold our KH to a church. Interesting thing....I can not enter a church for a wedding, funeral, etc. or do business with a church but WT can sell a KH to a church. You just can't make this stuff up!!!!
The hypocrisy is staggering!!!

Why are the GB and JWs scared of "apostates" and "research"? Romans 8: 35-39
by stuckinarut2 ini was just pondering this passage of scripture:.
romans 8:35-39 (new world translation).
35 who will separate us from the love of the christ?+ will tribulation or distress or persecution or hunger or nakedness or danger or sword?+ 36 just as it is written: “for your sake we are being put to death all day long; we have been accounted as sheep for slaughtering.”+ 37 on the contrary, in all these things we are coming off completely victorious+ through the one who loved us.

GB....follow the money.
The rank and file are afraid of anything anti WT. Most are so detached from the "real world", it is hard to function and they become misfits. Our family has NO "worldly experience." No 8-5 job dealing with others that are non JW's. They are comfortable with WT telling them how to think and what to think. It's just easier for them. They are scared of their own shadows and anything "worldly" is petrifying. Sad but true!
