53Skinned and Thrown About.....
by Tech49 inthis is a little long, but stick with me.. if you recall, when the building work was in full swing at the new lakefront villa (warwick), wt was having workers come and they would put them up for a year, or more, while they were providing "volunteer services".
with that, and the impending need for hundreds and hundreds of new khs in the usa territory, the congregations were abuzz with the need for "continued construction volunteers".
recently, as many of you know, wt headquarters has sent pretty much everyone home, and is no longer needing workers at the new warwick site, as the building is mostly complete, with the dedication coming up later this year.

I think the CO just knocked on my door.
by schnell ini can't be too sure, because i didn't answer, but my mother had called me this morning and said this week is our co visit.. it's been a while since i last had elders at my door.
last time that happened, i posted about it, so it was only a few months.. i really don't want to talk with them.
is there a chance i'll be announced as "no longer one of..." after he's left if i don't?.

Don't answer! Once they get you talking, they will find a way to hang you from the highest tree. If you continuously don't answer, eventually they will forget about you . They did us. Thank God!

"He did the same interview a fortnight later at the circuit assembly except that it was spun differently in as much as she was pioneering and he was serving faithfully as an elder in a congregation that needed help. No mention of the bottom falling out of his world on the assembly platform, eh?"
This is the part I find most interesting. What is actually going on versus what is REAL. This is what being a JW is all about...appearances. What others see is not actually what is going on. I truly believe that this is what the majority of JW's is all about.

1918/1919
by confused ini haven't been on here for a while so was wondering if anyone can point me to a post discussing why they believe jesus appointed fds at that time and, as it was invisible how do they know?.
regardless of how silly it may be at least they attempt to explain how they arrive at 1914 by using scriptures and calculations.
when it comes to 1919 it seems they are saying it has become clear only retrospectively and are not even attempting to use the bible to back it up.. i'm sure this has all been discussed on here before so would be grateful if someone can send a link or try maybe explain this to me please x.

confused. Not sure if this is exactly the information you need.
Thank to Paul Grundy and his site jwfacts.

Yes...the disappointed class. We have seen this too. We have heard it called being "put out to pasture."
Well folks...welcome to the real world. WT used you up and spit you out. BUT...these ones allowed it to happen. Oh how the mighty fall. So....how many are part of what my spouse and I call "the disappointed class." Not feeling sorry for any of them. They built their house on sand.
Guess who was there for us during tough times...NOT ONE JW. We pulled out of it on our own with a lot of hard work. That's what you do "in the real world."

Leah Remini - Scientology Documentary
by tresdecu ini know some has been posted about leah remini and her split from scientology.
i just wanted to add after finishing it last night, it is a must watch for questioning jws...every episode has familiar situations and parallels that will make jws really think (or squirm).
watch it with someone you want to wake up!!!!

tredecu - I agree it is a very powerful show. I would also recommend to watch Leah Remini on the Conan O'Brian show this week, show date Jan 25, 2017. Great interview between Leah and Conan.

I just watched the Panorama segment. It is amazing that when they interviewed the Presiding overseer he mentioned all the pressure that the members of the congregation have had to endure. Not a word said about the children that this sick monster has molested. WT is made up of true narcissists. It is always someone else's fault and they show NO empathy for anyone.
Our hope is that the sh*t storm will continue for WT. The internet is blowing a massive hole in this cult. It will never go away but the damage continues.

We showed this to our teenager. The response was..."What! We have so much to deal with in High school, the homework, peer preasure, college, etc., and this is what they are worried about?"
It goes to show you how out of touch WT is with reality.

"That's not a criticism of posters on here just that every single tiny nuance of JW'ism is slagged and ridiculed"
That's because when abuse occurs some speak out that it is wrong. There are many many posters on here that have been abused in awful ways. Some things I would not do to an animal. We left "Jehovahs loving organization" for just that....PLAIN AND SIMPLE ABUSE. Some may stick around and allow it. Others, like us, have had ENOUGH AND ARE NOT AFRAID TO SAY....ENOUGH!
