  Typical JW, past the buck to someone else. They do NOTHING for it's members. It's like a friend who always takes but never gives back.

  New Britian Branch set to open Dec. 31, 2019?

  by JustVisting in

  according to the august jw broadcast the new britian branch is scheduled to open by december 31, 2019 and is currently the 2nd largest construction project (assuming warwick is the largest).

  are the current facilities that spread out that a more centalized location the main reason for acquiring and developing an 85 acre site?

  also, with the end looming on the horizon, what message does that send regarding making long-term plans?

  I'm sure your Brother would have a different view of it if he or someone he loved was molested. If it doesn't personally affect them they bury their head in the sand.

  We see it in our family. It is so frustrating!

  Regarding not being viewed negatively when one fades.. An experiment?

  by disposable hero of hypocrisy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in joe134cd's recent thread, he mentioned the myth that apparently one should be able to fade or become inactive without repercussions from the community.

  he mentioned about the 'dropping-you-like-a-hot-potato' phenomenon from social media sites, even when you've not told anybody why you're not coming any more.. i propose that it may be good to record such a phenomenon when it occurs so that this lie can be readily rebuffed.

  i'm not out yet, but when i do, i shall be only to willing to record the response on social media sites.

  Carla is 100% correct. In the long run all the negative comments and articles is what will make an impact on those contemplating becoming a JW. Also, the ones who have had doubts will also go on the internet.

  Before we started searching. We never knew all the details regarding what happened in Mexico/Malawi or knew nothing about the UN thing.

  Sometimes we post on here thinking, what good will it do? BUT on posts or comments, on this board or others, may help just ONE person not get wrapped up in the JW craziness will be worth all the time and effort!

  What is true love video

  so i got coerced into watching this crap last night.

  a few observations:.

  1) it personified the witness mantra that doing more for the org = happiness, doing not enough = misery.

  I agree, it was a manipulative piece of crap.

  I felt so bad for the Dad when she went off on his lack of "spirituality." Well, as we all know, this is how the JW's work. You could beat the crap out of your family when no one is around but as long as you look outwardly spiritual all is good. It's all about the image.

  If you watch all the JW video dramas, they ALL have the same spin to them. I usually sit down with a glass of wine and have a good laugh! Oh Dubland...a strange and bizarre place!
