  New donation arrangement in action locally

  by respectful_observer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently they announced at my hall that a large donation had been made to the local congregation-- nearly $100,000.

  they then proposed a resolution that we continue our new(ish) practice of only keeping enough money on hand locally for monthly expenses, and send the entire amount of this large donation to the watchtower society.

  aside from the fact that our congregation has already sent well over a half-million dollars to the wt in the last 12 months, i don't understand the motive of the person who made the donation.

  snugglebunny. Sounds like a typical CO's wife. We all know someone's record card shows their true character. We have been married for 32+ years and our record cards have always sucked. I guess we should call it quits. lol

  On The Art Of Fading

  by expatbrit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in october of 2000, i faded away from the watchtower.

  like most people, i have family and friends who are jw's (including my wife and parents).

  fading is generally the best method for people in that situation.

  Snugglebunny just mentioned this previous post. I just read it and it is very good. Thought I'd bump it for others who may want some good suggestions on successfully fading.

  i don't know if any of you have seen the video posted by mike and kim regarding jw.org advertising on a thailand computer game review television show.

  its interesting - check it out.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57nigmnim18.

  the show is called game show social - i looked at a few of the videos and jw.org is on a lot of them.. at first i thought that it was a review of a jw.org app but when you look at other videos jw.org is on a lot of them as a sponsor as well as dell lg and others.. wgo..

  Pioneer Barbie's skirt is a wee bit short. Ha! I believe she is much too pretty, so this will allow all the old bitter sisters in the Hall (Elders wives) to spread malicious gossip about her being a slut. Oh...and the Elders will tell her that her top is much to tight. I've always wanted to ask the Elders, when they say things like that, how did you notice that my/her top is too tight or dress to short? Look much???

  Petra and Atlantis - Thank you for your dedication in providing this forum with these documents. - Your work really helped with our fade.

  Now for the most important portion in the letter:

  13. How can everyone have a share in these adjustments? We can give financial contributions to build Kingdom Halls.

  freemindfade. They portray EVERYTHING, except slaving for them ($$$), as evil.

  You sound like you have a awesome job. Like they say...if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. So true!!!

  JW's and the care of the elderly

  by Lynnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been df'd for 35 years and my uber pioneer mother is getting on in years, 84 to be exact and starting to have signs of dementia and the social worker is worried that she can't be left alone at all anymore.

  she just had her second hip replaced and is in rehab.

  my uber elder cousin is the power of attorney since my mom was told i couldn't be trusted since i'm df'd.

  Good for you Lynnie! They won't do anything for anybody unless there is something ($$$) in it for them. Typical JW!!!
