Oh boy, if that is true, what will all the "special" JW's do? No titles? How will they be "special?" They gotta have bragging rights or whats the point of going on? Maybe more prescription meds will help!

"In any event, with those volunteers busy in Warwick, the group was looking into making a financial contribution to finish the project, Mr. Devine, the spokesman, said. “We realized that we were stretched,” he said."
Interesting comment by Mr. Devine. Are they "stretched" financially or did he mean "stretched" for volunteers to do the job, since they are busy at Warwick? Maybe both?

What a great witness to the community. lol
"The parks controversy seems to have exposed a long-simmering resentment of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, also known as the Watchtower, for planning to leave a city that has enriched the religious group exponentially, community leaders say, yet to which it has given little in return."
'Giving little in return." We on this forum can back that statement up. The WT gives nothing, it only takes. Ask all the Bethelites who are being "sent into the field."

Part 2 was very interesting. It was really worth listening to. Especially the part on how brothers went to jail unnecessarily for not going into the military. He really explained it well, how the WT changed their stance (more new light) on doing a civil service job versus going to jail. Then the WT blames it on the brothers strong conscience for making that decision. Really? The long term damage the WT has done to so many families is just incredible. -

The story of my exit
by mrsObfuscate ini have been lurking here for about 6 months, and being the last day of the year, and ready to start the new one afresh, i want to share the story of our exit from the org.
i have found the personal experiences of others of immeasurable value, (and its been a while since a good exit story has been posted) that i hope this can be of benefit to at least someone.. .
my mother became a jehovahs witness when i was about 9 or 10. i remember initially hating all of the new sanctions put on our lives (no birthdays and christmas anymore) but for some reason i soon after joined her in attending the meetings and eventually got baptized at the age of 14. my staunch catholic father converted a couple of years later.

Welcome!
"Rather than rally around me to help me to continue, I was avoided, even by friends I’d had for 20 odd years. "
This is the saddest reality of it all. You have this false perception that your Brothers and sisters will be there for you. It is amazing how quickly they can erase you from their lives. It's disturbing.
We are so glad you escaped with your family. We feel the same way you mentioned....never happier! Keep up the good work and enjoy your new freedom. Life if good!

"Mary was somewhat apprehensive about the legal aspects but felt that in this situation Bible principles should carry more weight than the requirement that she protect the privacy of the medical records. Surely the sister would not want to become resentful and try to retaliate by making trouble for her, she reasoned. So when Mary analyzed all the facts available to her, she decided conscientiously that this was a time to "speak," not to "keep quiet."
Has Mary or the organization ever heard of HIPPA? Who cares if Mary looses her job or gets sued...not our (WT) problem! Be warm and well fed Mary! We got our info, now we are going after Sister Abortion.
It's also interesting that the switch that scripture around when it comes to calling the police on a Pedo. There is a time to keep quiet when it comes to that. So interesting how the manipulate the scriptures to suit them.
HYPOCRITES!

Governing Body Letter details things that "have never been done before." - Really?
by cappytan in[note: copy/pasted this with permission from reddit.].
once each year, the governing body writes a direct letter to the congregation members included in the yearbook.
in his annual message to the catholic faithful (urbi et orbi) delivered on christmas day, the pope spoke about world peace, terrorism, and the refugee crisis.

Great post Cappy. They are legends in their own minds. It's similar to their videos they produce. EVERYTHING has a happy ending. Sunshine and roses!
