i need some advice guys.
how do you get people to mind their own buiseness without coming off as rude?.
i was invited to a jw gathering last night.
as soon as anyone starts asking you questione youre uncomfortable with---take charge of the conversation
ignore the questions--tell them stuff thats guaranteed to drive them away:
tell them youre having difficulty making ends meet
in fact
tell them youre broke
ask them to help you out with a loan for a few weeks--a few hundred would make a world of difference
at this point they will have lost all interest in you--and will be looking for any excuse to excuse themselves.
have fun.
so when you first found out specific facts about the organisation, how did you feel??.
the un membership.
the way 1914 was calculated from pyramid measurements.
when i left the cult--in the early 70's---it wasnt because i had discovered some awful truth about it-----just that i had realised the truth about me--i did NOT believe in god--therefore any religion had no further interest to me.
now--looking at the watchtower from a safe distance--i see it as no different to any other american made spin off religion. there all the same to me. i just feel sad for all the people who need it in their lives---or--even worse--trapped in it for fear of losing ones they love.
i am enraged..... two older sisters sold a property and gave the entire sales amount as donation to this printing corporation.
how much is this corporation going to take from these poor people??
these old ladies think they did a great and wonderful act towards wt as if it was given to god himself.
my old dad donated £5000 to his kingdumb hall fund.
it was subsequently sold. i darent ask what happened to the proceeds.

its going to be a real beautiful place when its finished.. they are going for quality over quantity.
it used to be accommodation for a few thousand permanent residents, now its looking like less than a thousand permanent with the possibility of a few thousand more in temporary accommodation should the need arise.. some say the plans are going to be like a garden of eden in england :) i mean they had farming in london over the years but this is going to be epic what they are planning for temple farm at chelmsford.. they are planting thousands (literally) of fruit trees, including tropical fruits in huge green houses, huge vines yards and then the same basic farming activities as before.
i will believe it when i see it
err--no--i wont see it. i couldnt give a sh*t about the place.
been absent for more than 10 years as i have had surgery sand radiation etc for brain tumour.

hi guys - new poster here.
i was brought up a jw in the uk and stopped going not long after i was married.
that was 20 years ago so i'm not really up to date with the current doctrinal flip flops or the new youtube obsessed gb.. came across this site while googling the name of a local elder who's just been convicted of possesion of a pc full of unpleasant pics of kids.. so, my question.
