  WATCHTOWER IN A PANIC!

  by JW GoneBad in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jws are in need of more kingdom halls in many major u.s. cities.

  at this years agm where it is expected that most of the faithful will be able to listen to the meeting (being tied in by video), dont be surprised if the wts 8 gb members take part in a symposium delivering some long winded appeal, petition, plea, proposal, proposition, solicitation or otherwise hit-on the masses for $$$ in order to lighten the burden and overuse that many kingdom halls are experiencing.

  an acquaintance from the west coast mentioned to me that in late august thru early september of this year that a number of pow-wows involving close to 5,000 elders from numerous areas (riverside, los angeles, ventura and orange counties) took place to drum up financial support from the 800+ (not sure) congregations in those areas.

  Hmmmm.....more Kingdom Halls needed? Then why have they sold off so many here in the U.S. over the past decade or so? They used to point the finger of disgust at the huge beautiful churches of "Christendom" and the ostentatious Catholic cathedrals built over the centuries at the expense of the faithful following. Now they do the same thing with the multi-million dollar KH's that house four congs. "Give us all of your hard earned money so that we can prosper. You won't be needing the money. It will all be thrown into the streets.

  Totally disgusting. Glad my eyes were opened over a decade ago.

  I think it is all PC bullshit. Us whites are constantly downbraded by radical "colored" so what is a slip of the tongue by a famous person. Don't even tell me that you people don't on occasion make a snide remark about someones ethnicity. Get a life already!

  I just want a divorce!

  by bornfree123 in

  hi there, this is my first post, but i've been buzzing around this site for years.. i got married at 18, hubby was 20, i was a regular pioneer and we were talking about serving in bethel.

  fast forward - i left in 2004 after a 5 year battle with my conscience, family and friends who kept insisting that i was just "weak and needed to have another bible study".

  however hubby and i stayed together although it was kinda on the understanding that we would just not talk about it.

  If he is not supporting you financially in any way, then it is a scriptual divorce. My daughter went through this in the late 1990's and the elders were agreeable even though they tried every trick in the book to try to convince her that the congregation would suffer. I said F them and we both wound up leaving. Happiness comes in many ways. LOL

  I have a hard time beliving that the parents are active JW's. The father has a goatee and if he was a "sincere and active brother" ..... that would not be on his chin. They may have some relationship in the cong. but I doubt that they are really involved in the weekly brainwashing.

  so my good ol soon to be ex father in law told me a few years ago (before i had told him of my horrible apostate ideas) about a "client" of his.

  my fil used to be involved in the insurance/finance industries.

  he had a lady client that was about 20 years older than him.

  There are a lot of JW con artists and it seems to me that your soon to be xfil it taking advantage of a situation that borders on "nasty". Around 2000, at the KH I went to, an older sister who thought the world of me and another bro (we both left our lifetime KH's because we were fed up and went to this KH) because we were the same ethnic background came to both of us and told us that the PO wanted her to sign her beautiful ranch home over to him because she was being hospitalized so much. He already had his own home but still wanted hers. We told her not to do it. Shortly after, I started fading even more than I did starting in 1998-99. The sister died not long after and I think her house went to a worldy relative. I'm glad the PO didn't get it.

  Will AAWA Become another cult?

  please sorry for english, i have only been learning for 18 months.

  everyone please think about it, and beware of any initiative designed to solve "a community problem".

  becasue russel also started his own cult on a similar premise like this , claiming to have all the answers to issues whose solutions seems obscured to the majority in his days, and here we are today, constantly bashing our fingers on the keyboard in a bid to finding comfort from the mess he had put all of us into.

  I find it amazing that people on this forum who have absolutely no life and nothing to contribute have the audacity to question the efforts of those who are actually doing something constructive against the WT .

  The only thing I can offer to them is my opinion that they are ASSHOLES.

  Get a life and if you don't have anything positive to say then don't say anything at all ASSHOLE.

  Yours truely,

  Now that Andre has been exposed here on JWN, the WT will most likely change his name. Let's see if this happens. We know they monitor this and other sites to see just how much us nasty apostates know.
