  i wonder who is the brains behind all this Ramapo developement business is?

  I cant believe its any of these Governing Body goons--they are just the front men--the stooges of the JW religious cult.

  Christmas Decorations at the Kingdom hall

  i can't remember if i've told this story before .... but back in the day, in irlam congregation (northwest england, uk, cheshire #1 circuit i think) we used to rent a kingdom hall for many years before we eventually built our own.. preston hall.

  ah, the memories .... it was primarily used as a community hall for old folks, but we had it friday night and sunday morning.. there was a loft and fold-out ladder and we used to store the chairs up their.

  every meeting, there would be an assembly line of all the "lads" to pass the chairs down and set them up, then collect them up and pass them back up at the end of the meeting.

  in my town--the purpose built kingdom hall sold for nearly ££ half a million---allegedly in order to build halls in africa.

  i think that will pay for quite a lot of cow sheds.

  i'm surprised the society org didnt make field service a male only activity--and a privilege to be earned at that.

  i have not attended any kingdom hall meetings in 10 years.

  the elders gave up on me a while ago.. the last 3 years i get phone calls to listen in to zoom meetings.

  listened in several times... nothing has changed!

  , then as I delivered it, I looked at the audience and realised most were zoned out

  i did quite a few public talks back in the day--both home and away. I could drive anyone to sleep.

  the thought occurred to me: i could deliver half a talk--than stop--and start at the beginning again just to see if anyone had noticed.

  Would I be disfellowshiped for this?

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  if a publisher openly told the elders that they thought the gb were wrong about some or a lot of things, but said they will not share these thoughts with anyone else then would this be a case of disassociation disgfellowship?.

  my guess is lots of elders meetings and shepherding calls to try to get you to say something they could use against you.. but what would be the sin in which you are not repented?.

  the only reason to be dissed is non repentance?.

  i resigned--verbally--to the 3 committee members who had asked me to attend to answer to some nonsense they had heard. After that i attended occasional meetings to keep er indoors happy,--purely as an unopposed husband--not a member of the congregation. This was in the early 70's

  In 1980 i had an affair with one of the sisters--she was d/f for it--but apparently it was announced at the same time that i could not be disfellowshipped as i wasnt a jw. But i was now considered to be an apostate--and to be treated as if d/f.

  Suited me fine--although er indoors divorced me. Win win all round i thought.

  Money Making Ideas

  by LostintheFog1999 in

  when i was in i can remember reading wt commands not to use the brothers and sisters as an opportunity for business ventures.. i guess in hindsight it was because the wtc was already doing it and didn't want competition for the resources of income being limited.

  in addition to buying all your own literature and magazines, who else remembers the book covers, notebooks, bookmarks, etc sold at conventions with the assembly theme stamped on the front in gold coloured lettering?

  nowadays people claiming to be jws have oodles of websites selling all manner of goods to them, many infringing the jw logo.

  so nice to see thousands upon thousands of fighting-age ukrainian men managed to escape the war and reach wembley to support their national football team yesterday.

  things must be improving, eh?.

  both sides in this war ( russia v the west ) still have lots of older ammo getting past its go-bang-by date. Need to use it quick so the main backers can manufacture new stuff.
