The really sad thing about this all is how those who are still in but mentally out have to tolerate this. I would leave the JW's quickly if I had to witness this.

Local Elders whip the Congregation into a frenzy about donating to the Organization
by James Jack inbecause of the may broadcast about how funds are down, our elders have been in their talks "encouraging" or pressuring everyone to donate more to the world wide work.. it freaks me out how we already give them a set amount of $600 a month, plus what is contributed by the congregation(usually $400 to $500 a month).
heck, our local congregation bank account even got below $500 for the first time this past may since i have been doing the accounts(4 years now).
for june, we raised a whopping $2400 to send into the branch.. the most amazing part, is that only a select few contribute on a regular basis every month.

FayeDunaway,
"Which brings me to a question, have they found the 'gay' gene? I don't recall a news story about this, but it seems probable they will if they haven't already."
Their brain has been found to be different. This article on Scientific American has some interesting points to make.

StrongHaiku,
"The more and louder these people speak, the more they make themselves known so they can be mocked, challenged, and dismissed as they should be."
Unfortunately no. Reasons being that:
1) They're preaching to the choir who will believe anything.
2) Mainstream media rarely puts out these imbecilities so that the general public could be made aware.
3) Only liberals through their media are aware of these types of statements. For example, I got this video from Right Wing Watch a liberal organization. Moderates do not watch this.

Do you ever feel strangely drawn towards Conspiracy Theories?
by JW_Rogue inafter mentally awakening to the idea that jws don't have the truth i strangely found myself delving into all encompassing conspiracy theories.
not that i believed them but something about them seemed quite fascinating.
i was especially drawn to the idea of a new world order/one world government.

This is my conspiracy theory in a nutshell. There is a group of men making up nonsensical conspiracy theories and spreading them so that people will direct their attention away from the real conspiracies -

I hope you're not married to your parrot Perry.
As for the right wing and their psychotic obsessions it comes out to this: Gay, gay, gay, gay - Obama. Gay, gay, gay, gay - abortion. Gay, gay, gay, gay - Muslims.
For those with a cast iron stomach here is a good website documenting the daily insanity and inanity of the Christian right wing and their political prostitutes: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/

"Remember her aim she said was not the money, but to change WT policy. WT policy was not changed."
Like disfellowshipping and threatening to disfellowship victims of molestation for speaking out. Is that how "every strata of society" behaves?
