I have not heard of that one.
I was a born in JW and I have to be honest. Most of the bad association was actually IN the Kingdom Hall. The kids in school acted better than the ones at the Hall. Lot's of double lives.

I like it. This is what more people need to do. Cover your a**. If the majority of people would do this, the GB might get a little nervous that there is more "persecution" coming their way (legally). -

We have learned over time not to let the JW's get to you. You are in control! If you bump into JW's in public and they start questioning you, just respond, "I don't feel or want to discuss that with you at this time." What are they going to say to that? Not a damn thing. An Elder may ask (we have been asked), "we would like to make a shepherding call on you." Our response, "we appreciate that but we will call you if we decide that is necessary. We are doing fine." What can they say? Nothing
Give them NOTHING! They don't deserve it. They are only looking to nose around in your business. If you spill any info they will tell you to go to the meetings, go out in service. Do more, do more, do more! Then they will spread anything you say all around the circuit.
I always remember a quote from the movie Dolores Claiborne, " Sometimes Dolores...sometimes, you have to be a high riding bitch to survive. Sometimes, being a bitch is all a woman has to hang onto."
That is one of my favorite quotes from a movie. I have become that bitch, at times. It feels good to be in control!

Remember the two elderly sisters?
by John Aquila inabout a month ago i posted what had happened to two elderly sisters who were reprimanded by a couple of elders for crying because the jw broadcasting was going to be stopped at the kingdom hall and it was up to each publisher to learn how to use the internet.
if you recall the sisters got together with my mom and talked about it and it resulted in all of them declining to make meals for the pioneers.
here is the link.

Either way, they are both mindless tasks with zero results. Just busy work and a way to measure the Rank and File (hours/time). -

Geoffrey Jackson: "That would be presumptuous of us"...
by Calebs Airplane inwithin the first few minutes, mr. stewart asked geoffrey jackson if the members of the governing body consider themselves to be god's spokesperson on earth.. his response: "that would be presumptuous of us" (implying that they don't consider themselves to be god's sole channel of communication).. to me, that was the worst lie of about 26 lies he's told during this hearing.
however, mr. stewart missed an opportunity to call out mr. jackson on this bold-faced lie.
he should have asked him to explain why the watchtower magazine teaches otherwise.

If I was still in, this statement would send me running for the door! Although, Tony Morris' zone talk would have also.
Theocratic warfare ='s lying. This organization deserves anything they get!

I actually think these sick puppies enjoy the thought of your demise. I really do! They thrive on gossip and other peoples despair (even if it is untrue). -

One can only hope the seats are empty! We wonder the same thing (haven't attended in 2+ yrs.).
I wonder if the RC in Australia will have any impact on some leaving.
