"the tms elder told her she could not do her part because her skirt was too short."
Ask the Elder how he noticed your skirt is to short (see if you can ask with his wife standing there). Notice much Brother horny? Assh****.

if it's not memorial, it's special day assembly.

DO NOT GIVE THEM CONTROL! IF YOU GIVE IT TO THEM THE WILL TAKE IT!
We have had this happen to us. Use the not feeling well/work schedule excuse as much as you can. If they start digging further, tell them you have some personal issues but give them NO details.
The miranda rights state, "anything you say can and will be used against you." It goes for the JW police as well. As soon as you start talking they WILL hang you. Guarantee it. Also, if you give them NOTHING it will drive them insane. We all know JW's are the nosiest people on the planet and thrive on rummaging around in your underwear drawer and going through your movie collection.
The miranda rights also state that you have the right to remain silent. Do just that!
We are having a great time watching these fascinating people try to figure out what is going on with us. It's a mystery!
If they become too intrusive tell them to mind there own business and get off your back. I'll repeat...IF YOU GIVE THEM POWER OVER YOU, THEY WILL TAKE IT.
Relax and enjoy the ride.

Well....if that was said to me or my kid, you would not be able to find the skinny tie. It would be placed in the general area of the Elders anatomy where the sun don't shine! lol -

I am sorry to hear about your Dad. Don't cause a thing. Now is not the time to do that. Just say thank you and try and reflect on the positive memories and people in your life. You will never change a uber JW. They are taught not to think, just conform.

Who compared the KH donation arrangement to that of a never ending mortgage?
by Boeing Stratofortress init was one of the commenters replying to another thread, but i cannot find it.
it was a great rant & well thought out.
it basically put in simple terms how the donation arrangement is like being forgiven of your 10 year mortgage, then being told you should 'donate' an amount equal to your monthly mortgage payment, but indefinitely.. i'd really like to find that person's reply, so i can use the same logic with some of my family members.

Bottom line....you're Hall will never be paid off with their brilliant scheme. Wake up people...they did not cancel your mortgage. It's a scam with Jehovahs name on it! That's how dirty rotten scoundrels work!

Here it is:
I hope that writing this, there will be some Lurkers that I can shake.
If you have not listened to Mays TV broadcast, please do. It may wake some up.
Note @ around 21-22 minutes into the broadcast Lett brings up the the Kingdom Halls/Assembly Hall loans have been cancelled and the congregation can now send in what they can afford. Wow...how many banks would do that?
What Lett fails to mention, is that there was a BOE letter regarding this. Page 1 was to be read to the congregation but page 2 and 3 were for the Elders eyes only. Well, on page 2 the question is asked: " What amount should be used for this new resolved monthly donation?
The answer: "The elders in congregations currently making loan repayments would likely propose a resolution that is at least the same amount as the current monthly loan repayment"
Ok, think about this...my bank (who holds my mortgage) calls me up and tells me that they are going to cancel my mortgage (cool!) BUT I have to continue to send the same amount to them every month for the remainder of my life. Let's say my mortgage would have been paid off in 10 years with my original mortgage. Cool...now I have a paid off home in 10 years. Now...the new way, let's say I live until I am 80 years old. Now I have to pay them the same amount for another 30 years? Ok, I am not a mathematician here but who's getting the raw end of the deal here? Me, me, me!!! I am an idiot if I go along with it.
It also asks the question on Page 3 of the letter: "What should be done if congregation funds are not sufficient to cover resolved donations?"
The Answer: "If sufficient funds are not available for all resolved donations in a particular month, additional funds should not be solicited. The elders should determine what amounts from the congregation funds that are available at the end of the month will be applied toward the re-solved monthly donation(s) and whether the shortfall should be made up in future months."
Ok, so don't solicit the funds but we will get the short fall in future months. Lett states that the "congregation can send in what they can afford." This is not sending in what you can afford. The congregation either has to send in the amount from the end of month available funds in the congregation or make up for it later.
Most publishers do not know that there is a Page 2 and 3 of the letter. There is a reason for that. Why not read page 2 and 3 to the Congregation. Do they have something to hide?
I listened to the May Broadcast and then directly read the BOE letter. I am disgusted!
I have been raised in this organization and at one time had some hope in these "men." They are dirty rotten scoundrels, living off of the ones trying to survive on what we can. They are cashing checks from little old ladies/men who are living off of rice and beans. They are using people for free labor!
It hurts that we all have been duped (including me at one time). No more!
Please everyone, vote with your wallets and THINK.
Rant over.

"And some of us, like myself, remain "in the fold" as silently active dissidents who are striving under the current circumstances in our local congregations to increase a more abundant spirit of love, compassion, and mercy -- and truth."
Unfortunately, our family has not met any of these silent active dissidents. The lack of love, compassion and mercy is something we have not experienced. I guess our area was skipped over. This goes further than just the GB, it is the CO's, pioneers, publishers and Elders who lack these qualities as well.
I could NEVER shun my children or a close friend. DF'ing is not done with a spirit of love, compassion and mercy. It is cruel and it hurts.
