We know soooo many in the cult who are on every prescription med to reduce anxiety and depression and they swallow the pills down with booze. We care deeply for some who are doing this. We just want to scream..."get out of her." If they left, they may realize what is causing all their issues. You may have to loose family and conditional friends but the freedom (IMHO) is priceless.

That is so funny and ironic. I have been telling my spouse for years that the GB changes doctrine so much that they should put it on a Etch a scetch! -

Are The Governing Body Anointed?
by freemindfade infor any lurkers, i just want to put a thought out there for you.
like me maybe during your life as a jw the "thing" that causes someone to know if they are anointed was always a bit of mystery, except to those who claimed they knew.
i had heard it explained to me many ways, and like many things i just said "ok, well thats an answer... i guess".

So, you are one of the anointed, one of the 144,000. How do you now know you have been upgraded (chosen) to become a member of the GB?
Let me use the example of the newest GB member, Sanderson.
Did Bro. Sanderson approach the GB and say, "Hey guys Jehovah just appointed me to become a GB Member!" I prayed and I know it in my heart...just as I did when I was anointed as a 144,000 member.
or
Did Jehovah notify the current GB that he has now chosen Bro. Sanderson as a new member. Let him in! Did they tell Sanderson? Did, Jah send them the message to vote him in?
Just how does it work?

Prayer Question I Had After Sundays Watchtower...
by freemindfade inwhile i was sitting through another grueling watchtower, dying from my brain being turned into cult pudding, i had this thought after i heard this read: .
when we express our most intimate thoughts to god in prayer, he may answer us through a bible passage, an article in a magazine, or an encouraging word from a fellow believer.

Doc- we just heard from our family. They told us about the letter and the changes for the mid week meetings. I asked if they mentioned any reductions at the bethel homes. They said no. They were very surprised that the WT and AWake's are being cut back again. -

WT Society SEC Records : Hedge Funds, Cayman Islands, Financial Losses - Links
by flipper inso my wife and i were curious so i researched some financial links and found records indicating that the wt society has been operating at a loss since the year 2012. as you read the links it shows a loss of 10 million $$$ in 2012, about 16 million $$$ in 2013, and a whopping loss of 56 million $$$ in 2014 - where the expenditures exceeded the revenues for each of those years in the amount i've mentioned.
also there is a link on this same website with the sec records indicating that the wt society and it's representatives funneled 40 million $$$$ into hedge funds in the cayman islands as early as 2007. if you look online on other sites you can see evidence that indicates the wt society attended hedge fund conferences to look into more shadiness in 2011 and isn't it curious that by 2012 the wt society started showing losses.
anyway here is the link : https://www.watchtowerlies.com/the_watchtower_revenue.html .. feel free to check this link out and other links on that link indicating the cayman island connection.

So many lost their jobs and homes during the real estate debacle. We watched good, hard working people have to suffer. The WT should have been smart enough to figure out that the bad economy was going to affect their donations.
When we were struggling, during our difficult time, we were told to trust in Jehovah and rely on him. I guess WT will now have to take their own advise. It's always more painful when the shoe is on the other foot (their foot). Sorry...we got NO sympathy and I will give them NONE.
