Aude, If it isn't the same book, it is about the same topic. It would be an interesting book to read. I wonder what the author's history is that he wrote a book to expose the untruths about the JW religion?

Is the Watchtower hurting financially?
by truthseeker inwhile surfing e-watchman's paradise forum, i clicked on one of the topics i never go to, "our meetings & assemblies" and found an interesting post on the wt bleeding financially.. it was posted 3 months ago.. http://e-jehovahs-witnesses.com/viewtopic.php?t=2888&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=0.
in my neck of the woods (which shall remain anonymous) the do and co have been circulating the rumour that the watchtower society is in financial straights and is being bled dry.
this must be very pressing.

Well, they are possibly hurting financially from publisher donations, but they do get some financial relief from older ones who have willed all their worldly possessions to the society....... I have seen my in-law's will... They are leaving $100,000 first to the society before any of their children see a penny. Also my husbands aunt owns prime vacation land in the carribean where she lives and rents out rooms to vacationers. It is oceanfront land. It is all willed to the society as she was a good pioneer sister and never married or had kids..... ..I am sure there are many more like them out there who are leaving everything to the society to buy their place in the New System.

New light in everyday life.
by zagor inmy sister had to borrow some money, around $500 from this brother which she was going to return of course.
but she was getting married, and dub said "well you dont have to return that money it is your wedding gift.
" needless to say she was really happy and drilled my mind about jw being good people.

sounds like he wanted to look like a wonderful generous guy in that moment in front of friends, but never really meant what he said.Its your sister's decision what she should do. I hope she realizes that not all Dubs can be trusted just because they claim to be a JW.

Sympahty for Circuit and District Overeer's Poor Wives
by frankiespeakin in.
i would like this thread to express sympathy for these poor women, that because of being duped by a typical "end of the world cult", have given up a stable enviroment, suffer god know what as they endure listening to the same booring talk for 6 months, away from friends and family, no home to decorate, under constant scrutiny from the other sisters, etc.... i wouldn't like this thread to degenerate into what bad things these poor victims of an "end of the world cult" have done, but more toward sympathy, to help especially the younger ones who may be reading jwd, and need the courage to do something to get out of this predicament, before they waste thier whole life away slaving for the ungratefull wt organization.. they could use some help here and understanding as well.

Once they made an annoucement at the meeting before the CO's visit that if they were having them for a meal, to prepare something simple, because it seemed that everyone felt that had to put on big lavish spreads for them. It is hard. They can't choose what they have for these meals and they are at the mercy of all cooks. good or bad. Im sure it would get rough on the digestive system after a while.

Why the Jehovah's Witness religion will live on and on
by free2beme ini have read in here a few post, and would expect to see these kind of post.
where people hope the religion will end some day and perhaps then all that has happened as a former witness to us, will be stopped and the witnesses will see the error of their ways and life will be good again.
i never think they will end, and here are some reasons why i think this way.. third world countries thinking.

I have to agree with you , freetobeme, for some the strict religion indoctrination of the JWS just works for them. That's great for them. The JWS won't stop to exist as a religion for all the reasons you stated. Its hard to understand how in a free-thinking society , that people can still want a life style that dictates how they live and breathe, but that's what makes the world such a wacky and complex place. Im just happy I don't need to be ruled by a bunch of men who claim to be guided by god's spirit, or whatever they claim now, not sure its been awhile since I was associated.

Zen. your post sums up the mysteries of religion vs. spirituality perfectly, for me anyways. Spirituality is a personal experience and everyone should be allowed their own feelings and beliefs as your post states. Good point about not taking one's own beliefs too seriously.. as much as one should not try to influence others to follow their own beliefs.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus
by myelaine ini have found myself saying this more frequently lately.
do you want an end to this system, or do you want proof of god?
for myself, i am just broken hearted by the state of the world.

Sunspot and sonnyboy, So true as your posts say that JWS have wasted so much of their lives away. Waiting for God to come fix everything and make it perfect. Time in field service that could be better spent improving human lives here and now. I can't think of what possible reason a loving God or Jesus , would wait to come to make everything perfect. All I know is.. all thru history....good always triumphs over evil in many ways......world wars where evil could have ruled the world, but nations came together to fight for freedom. In spite of the evil and madness existing in the world, good is predominant..well that is how I see it.

Field service horror/humor stories.
by sonnyboy inthis has probably been done before, but has anyone had any scary or funny things happen to them during field service?
i used to go door-to-door with the most obnoxious elder in the world.
if we approached a house, saw signs of life, but they didn't answer the door, he'd actually go around and knock on their windows!

Hi delilah, you wrote in one of your posts about a brother doing it with the dog. He was a brother here in southern Ontario, married with kids. Seems he had a dog fetish. When the householder came home, he noticed the brother out in his yard messing with his dog and took a polaroid picture before he called the police , just to verify the story. The brother actually worked at the same place as my husband. When he came into work after it became public knowledge,, all the guys on the line would bark at him as he came to his workstation. Sad really.
