Have cousins that just moved from Walkill to Warwick, apparently they have a deluxe apartment now. He's some bigwig in Purchasing and flies all over the world (first class no doubt) telling people how to do stuff.
does anyone have any updates on how many people have left wallkill in the last couple of months?.
i keep seeing pics of "going away parties" from my uber heavyweight bethelite cousins.
they are in their late 30's but must have some special thing going on (he's in purchasing i believe) because they get to fly all over the world like africa most recently.
Well these cousins do have a safety net since their dad my first cousin stands to inherit bunches of money from his non JW father. But yeah it will be interesting to see how long Alison and Jonathan last at Bethel. somehow I think they are in the rinner circle somehow and will be for quite sometime. Oh but if there are health issues I guess that won't matter!

And they are getting ready for their new apartment which is supposed to be ready next month. They have been there for about 8 years now!
i have far too many to name, but ill start with obscene music, gambling and cussing like a sailor.
all the while preaching to "worldly people" about their impending death at armageddon.
thoughts?.
A CO years ago wanted me to be his mistress and told me to be patient and wait for him! I told my mother and aunt about this but they said I must have been mistaken. Yeah right, he stalked me to my new apartment! does anyone know Kin Shinn (sp? might be Sueon) and his wife Mary Jo? She was a very flashy Co's wife. I just wondered how many other single women he had on the line!
in the congregation that i grew up in there were about 30 children under 16 (myself included).
as time went on they one by one slipped away from the meetings and most never got baptized.
of those 30 children only myself and two other girls stayed and got baptized.
Funny in Seattle in the Ravenna hall there seems to be lots of young people but they are very loose up here as far as your social activities and associations it seems. Everyone is usually going to music venues and other worldly activities but it's all good if you go to these events with other JWs apparently.Oh and marathons too. They always seem to have time for that stuff. my uber elder cousin went to the Doobie brothers concert just recently which I was amazed about since it was held at a casino venue. But also I think he keeps his activities rather vague to others so there is no judging!
so my cousins in seattle have had their regional convention i believe (at the tacoma dome).
my cousin has a sister that has been inactive for 40 years but doesn't ever speak against the jw's but still inactive nonetheless.
so this weekend they are going out on his cousin's boat, her husband is a deacon in the local episcopalian church.

So what is the new rules about shunning of inactive ones? My cousin is an elder so I bet the rules don't apply to him!!! Any info would be appreciated.
hi everyone, it has been a while since i've last updated!
(refer to my previous posts for the full story) here is a quick re-cap: 2 months ago my mother found out that i am living with my boyfriend, she told me i was discovered by an "anonymous" tipper who turned me in for "living in sin".. first of all, that is nearly impossible, the congregation i was in is 100's of miles away from where i currently live.. no one would have ever known i was living with my boyfriend unless i told them, which i never did, i cut off all communication with that congregation in part of my attempted fade which was blown into pieces and discovered.. anyways, my mom tells me if i don't go to the elders and confess like a good little sheep, then she is obligated to tell them.. ( don't see why, i don't even live under her roof ) well i never went to them because why should i?
so they met with my mother and she told them i live with my boyfriend... let me remind you, this was two months ago.. i was told i was going to be df'd and that was that.
I've been out for 40 years but had a very similar experience when I left. I had been gone from the JW's for almost 2 years and my mother gave them my address because she suspected I was living in sin (yes I was!) But I thought after two years no one would bother me but of course she gave them the address and the elders showed up unannounced one night and there was a big party with smoking and drinking going on so...I was df'd but not even sent a letter or anything. Funny how they don't leave some people alone at all but others they do. My cousin Cheryl was able to leave no problem, marry a non-believer and not get DF'd. In fact she told me I could leave the JW's anytime I like because she had. Well her mother was a big $$$ contributor to the KH where we went so in her case they just left her alone. Not me however. I couldn't believe they were still interested in me after 2 years! Jerks!! They should spend time with people that actually want to be in the org, not harassing people that just want to leave quietly!!
yesterday jw knocked on my door, i was sitting in the office with the window right next to it, they couldn't see me & i decided not to answer.
they stood there for what seemed ages & as i watched something hit me.
they were here only because they were on the territory.
witnesses are not supposed to stand for the national anthem but can stand for a flag salute.. you can't say bless you if someone sneezes, good luck!, or " you too" if someone says, happy holidays.. it is a religion of cannot dos.
everything is pagan and worldly.. what are things that are unacceptable to jehovah's witnesses that really are no big deal to everyone else?
?.
Yes it depends on who you are and your status in the org and that will determine what you can and cannot do! Seattle seems to be very liberal in that area, people are always doing 1/2 marathons, going to various rock concerts, celebrating New Year's Eve on that actual day. yes you can do what you want as long as you have an elder as a parent or are in with the cool crowd.
so i see my uber cousins from bethel are flying around the world again, this time in brazil to instruct the brothers on construction purchases in central and south america!
lots of pics with them partying with locals and being wined and dined, something the rank and file will never know!
