Funny I just heard through my family grapevine that my cousin is going back to school to get her teaching degree, she's a recently baptized witness (35 years) however was born in and never went for it until the last couple of years. So I think some witnesses aren't even listening and just doing whatever they want even though they are attending meetings and acting like good little witnesses! She posted that she was going to get a teaching degree, that's so interesting to me since witnesses are so anti-education. She seems to have a free pass however since her father is an elder and will bend over backwards for her no matter what!

I have an uber JW cousin that is applying to go to Israel and has her head so far up in the clouds she doesn't see any danger or threat, she's traveled all over as a single woman and had no problems so why should this be any different she says! Get a clue people! And yeah WTF do you have to apply to go, just go if you think Israel needs to be preached too so much! these people are unbelievable!

JW.org broadcasting studio
by Lynnie inapparently the very cool thing to do now is when you go to bethel you go and have your picture taken in the studio!
my uber elder cousin and his wife just did that back in ny.
it's probably not for everyone, my cousin's daughter and son in law are very "high up" in the org in "finance" and that's how they probably got to do it.

Or they really do allow people to actually to have their picture taken in the sacred broadcasting studio?

Reinstatement via Old Cong.
by startingover13 ini've applied to be reinstatement in a new city after attending meetings for a bit.
i wrote my letter and they heard my case.
they were very helpful.

What if you hadn't bother to tell the new congo that you were a witness and pretended to be a "new person?" and studied like someone who had never been a witness? Would they somehow have a "background" check done on you?

Well I'm sorry but my "natural affection' for my mother is long gone and I'm pretty sure there is no getting it back after the abuse and shunning for 35 years. SORRY! I will be helping with her this weekend however since I'm not that bad of a guy but I HATE being ordered around by my uber edler witness cousin. And being lied to as well, he said he needed to spend time with his dad(my uncle) this weekend and I found out from another family member that my uncle is out of town with my cousin's daughter!!! Oh and do you think he'll be available to help me if I ever needed it? Bet you a million dollars NOT!!!

There was someone staying with her at the time but that person was going to have to go elsewhere for a week. A couple of women in the congregation stepped up and filled the gap. My cousin who is in charge of her estate and is power of attorney was out of town and is now back and calls me up saying "well maybe you could "help out" with my mom over the weekend. WTF? Really? He's an uber elder in the congregation and I'm so pissed that he can't bother to call me any other time or bother to keep me informed but now he "needs" me. I didn't commit at all because I think the people in the congregation need to step up. My mother has pioneered for 40 years and has always been active in the congregation and I thought she had a lot of friends. Where the heck are they now????

No birthdays but they go all out for anniversaries and baby showers. I've seen some elaborate wedding anniversary parties
back in the '80s and '90's that cost $$$$ and was bringing undo attention to the married couple.
