  WT is shorting literature orders by congregation with a problem contributing enough for literature $3500 just for mags

  by oppostate in

  at our meeting last night there was a talk about having run out of magazines for the last three months.

  it's expected this will continue to happen.

  the "branch" has not sent the requested number of magazines.

  Maybe the elders are trying to skim money off the top and they are telling everyone to contribute more lol. At .50 a mag and saying your Congo should be sending a minimum of $3500 a month that is 7000 magazines a month.

  How many publishers do you have? This request sounds like something your body of elders wants to help them make car payments lol.

  Outlaw when did this arrangement of only getting the number of magazines you paid for come back into / go into practice I have never heard of this being a rule. Even when I was at bethel I specifically remember the congregation list being fulfilled as it was on the literature request.

  So did he say the branch will send you exactly the amount of magazines that you pay for based on a .50 cent per magazine rule? So if you send in let us say 100 for world wide work then you will only get 200 total mags?

  when did they institute this new rule

  When I was still there our congregation never sent enough money to cover magazines yet we always got what we ordered.

  The only time the order was reduced is when we decided to do so or when it was done based upon the number of publishers When did this change in the last 3 years??? Lol

  Matbe there is another reason this is happening. I can't imagine the bozos that pack the magazines in boxes have a list of which congregations are not make the proper amount of donations so they give them 25 percent fewer mags.

  I can surely be wrong but this sounds like maybe he elders are just deciding not to send the full order

  Music

  we would all agree that music whatever its form or genre, speaks to us, maybe a favorite childhood nursery rhyme, maybe dads music,etc.

  a lot of us where shut down to such wordly things, some were not.

  music has always helped me in hard times, that song, that artist, that let's get moving stuff, what speaks to you, its not a cure all, but what do you like?

  Reggae... Reggae... Reggae.

  When I was waking up this music spoke to me in a way nothing else could granted I always loved this genre even as a witness, but during my exit a number of these songs and artist spoke to me in a way nothing else could.

  this is so stupid, but yesterday i was shopping and i saw this wild blouse and i thought-if i could dress how i really wanted to, i would buy that blouse.

  i walked away and was thinking-why the hell shouldn't i dress how i want to?

  because someone told me that orange paisley print is tacky?

  many times because of the shock of learning ttatt, a person loses it.

  you want to scream and tell the whole world that the watchtower is a big lie.

  Many organizations have people who write letters to make it publicly known that they no longer want to belong to them, not just JW's. Either way "playing by their rules " one last time and leaving and having no link to them is far more freeing then a fade in which one lives their life as if they are still a part of the group.
