49What are the costs of literature cart witnessing?
by oppostate inin the article on the guardian ( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul/14/jehovahs-witnesses-evangelism-church-god-armageddon ) mentioned in another thread, there's this quote of mark omalley, who is assigned to the public information desk at the jehovahs witness uk centre in north london.
we now have more than 165,000 [literature] carts on the streets in over 50 countries.
it gives us visibility and availability.

We thought JW's were supposed to be different too...they are not. A tough lesson to learn. I agree with Doc...get on with your life and let those sharks in the Kingdom Hall devour each other. They deserve each other.
Glad our family escaped!

My sister is being harassed by the elders
by opusdei1972 insometime ago i wrote here in this forum about the case of my sister, who decided to stop attending the meetings because she realised that the watchtower society is an evil organization.
this happened more than one year ago.
i am not living in the same country of my sister, so i learn about her case when she calls me or when she write me through whatsapp.

Happiness is achievable
by asensier inupdate - for those of you who read my last topic 'disfellowshipped at 18' i am so thankful for all the support and helpful comments i received.
it's amazing to know that despite how alone i may feel, so many of you have suffered the same way that i have.
i know that i can live happily without being one of jehovah's witnesses.

So one of the elders kids told my son she is not going to college, but will pioneer. my son told her he is going to college.
by goingthruthemotions inhe said she gave him a strange look.
i then explained to my son that her father has no degree and barely provides for his family.
he works like a fool, .

My introduction and confession
by elderINewton inwell another big bad elder here just wanting to say sorry.. i'm sorry that so many were treated like crap, and shown that god's love is not to be found around jehovah's witnesses.
i'm sorry that inadvertently i've likely taught many to judge and as such see that racism permeates every corner of the jw world, else why else would someone be of the world, or even inactive.
i'm sorry i sat in on a jc, and voted to df.

We can only hope and pray that you are one of the VERY few good guys we know. There are some (very few) of you left but you do exist. Hopefully, you and your family can escape.
Sometimes my family and I can only hope that some of the Elders, CO's and Bethelites will TRULY see what is going on.
Occasionally, a few Elders will post but then they disappear. Some remain and we cherish their loving/kind input.
So much damage/abuse has been done to some really good and decent people. We can attest to this!
We don't know how you do it. Going trough the motions of being an Elder, meetings, field service, conventions, etc. has to be brutal.
If you can get yourself and your family out...DO IT. We have been out for about 3 years and the freedom is incredible. They talk and act as if your life will go to sh** if you leave. DON'T BELIEVE THEM...IT DOES'NT! Freedom is an incredible feeling. Happiest years of our lives!
Know that you are not alone . There are some incredibly kind and loving people here for you.

JWs With A Financial Interest In The Org
by JW_Rogue inthrough personal experiences which i'd rather not relate because it would give away my identity i have come to a realization.
many brothers own businesses that a greatly supported by witness activities.
when local congregations need some service they will prefer to do business with a jw.

Anyone remember Mighty Distributing? a.k.a. Mighty Auto Parts. 90% of all the franchisee's were witnesses and the Mighty Corporate owner's were VIP's with the U.S. branch bethel leadership. You had an automatic trust of the "brotherhood". Many millionaires were created because of the "brotherhood"! Follow the money!
