Greenlees, Chapman and Chitty

by Libby in

so after being rudely awakened by a cat fight outside (it's 3am here in the uk) and then proceeding to go outside to rescue my cats from the neighbourhood tom....... i'm now laying wide awake trying to make sense of jw "truth".

(it's all my mind does these days, the lights gone on and won't turn off).

anyway i found myself reading about the gb and came across these fellows , greenlees, chapman and chitty.

i dont usually bother to read your comments,--Easyprompt--thinking you were just another mere JW apologist bible thumper...but i was wrong !

youre just a bible thumper--of no fixed religion.

"Virgins" is figurative.

you dont suppose--by any chance--the 144,000 is a figurative number as well ?

Retirement savings

by TxNVSue2023 in

what's the current jw stance on retirement savings?

i know it changed.

pre1975 it was an attitude of "don't worry about retirement, this system is ending soon".

i never worried about a pension plan--and needed everything i earned to live on.

My old dad had a good job--with a company pension plan. Although he was a loyal JW--he never wasted time pioneering, but he did contribute a LOT of ££ to the cult--including £5000 to help fund a hall. His main asset was his house--plus cash savings.

He left the lot to me in his will.

Ps it's just dawned on me, I thought the 144,000 had to be unmarried virgins ?

Yep--12,000 virgin men from each of the 12 tribes of Israel.

Tony Morris replaced - by ANOTHER teleprompter reader!

by BoogerMan in

the whitewashing of tm111 from jw history continues - tending to confirm that he was booted.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ghbhv6961a.

i'm pretty sure the cult got him to sign a nice nda - in exchange for a lifetime residency in the house bought by wt..

whatever we think of the watchtower cult--the fact is the people behind the people who appear to be running the show--are not stupid. Not when billiions of $$ are involved.

Only stupid people would not have foreseen this happening. Why hide TM3 in plain sight so easily found.

I think he is the fall guy.

A divorced single sistet

by TxNVSue2023 in

it was an opinion of someone that to be a divorced, single sister i. the organization was the lowest social standing you can have.

why are they dispised?

( what if was a scriptural divorce where husband cheated?

Fellow exElders: did you ever get to hear of ...

by no-zombie in

when i was serving as an elder, it because relatively common to hear of wild drunken house parties of witness youths.

i investigated one, it was so bad that the cops turned up and found empty bottles of whiskey on the lawn and smashed out on the road.

but every led went cold, with all the kids clamming up.

fast forward to mid 90's--i was talking to a fence sitting jw--who said the kids were holding " get outta the truth" parties.

sunday evenings after a circuit arsembly--crowds of teenage kids would "congregate" for a house party in Birmingham UK mid 60s. I was usually the organiser. No elders back then though.
