  Uh-oh, the elders want to pay us a visit!!

  so, hubby gets contacted today by one of the elders saying 2 of them want to pay us a visit and asks him when we are available.

  we both had the heart drop feeling for a few minutes lol.

  but he promptly, and politely, informed them that we are very busy but he will let them know when we are free.

  Tell them that you are having financial problems or need some help with some heavy duty project around your home. You will never hear from them again!

  Great response on your part. You owe them NOTHING!

  Getting the Urge!

  by Theburstbubble in

  evening folks, so as some of you may know we have recently decided to leave the witnesses and can see it for the man made organisation it is.

  so, why do i get the urge to go back and feel guilty for not being there!

  it's like my mind is telling me to be logical about it all but then something keeps pulling me back.. don't get me wrong i really want to break free from it all and i'm resisting the urge to go back as i have been miserable in the truth for a long time as i've known it's not right and want to do the best by my daughter.

  I am sorry, I never had the urge to return. I don't miss it a bit but everyone is different.

  i popped into the supermarket for a few things after work today and found myself walking up an aisle alongside a couple who used to be in my tuesday group.

  i see them reasonably often and always say hello much to their obvious annoyance.

  i noticed that ian was sporting a shaggy beard.

  Looks like Ian needs to review the fruitages of the spirit before he goes a shunning. Tisk tisk! lol

  back in the day, when the co came to the congregation, it was quite stressful for the elders and often, the rank and file.

  .

  is it as big a deal as it used to be?.

  Little fish in a big pond. I wouldn't even invite most of the CO's to come in my home to clean the toilets. lol

  Local Congregation Takes Away My Dad's Phone Hook-Up (HE'S 85 YRS. OLD)

  by NoMoreHustle in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this happened about 6 months ago, didn't really have an opportunity to post about it (been busy), but they still haven't given back his password for the phone hook-up.

  they say that this is direction from the "branch office".

  i think it's complete bs, the real reason why they are doing this is to punish me & my family because i am basically a ghost when it comes to meetings & any type of activity.

  We still have a lot of contact withing the org. We are hearing tons of friends and family that have completely quit donating. Some of these people are very well off and are proud to tell you they no longer contribute. Of course, we just LOVE to hear this.

  What the idiots at WTBS don't seem to understand is you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Oh well!

  "these ones would NOT qualify for the hook-up."

  I'll tell you what we don't qualify for anymore....DONATIONS! Oh, it feels so good!

  Hey all....if the WTBS is pissing you off, vote with your wallets. Hit em where it hurts!

  My 67 Year Old Elder Brother Is Depressed Because The Younger Elders Are Taking Over

  by minimus in

  he was the school overseer but they relieved him of that to allow younger elders the privilege of the job.

  now he is depressed and actually shed tears, believing his worth has diminished.

  So many wasted lives. Some of these older ones have given their all to the org. How do they get repaid? Put out to pasture. Sad, but what can you expect from a selfish/narcissistic organization!
