with all this negative information in the news about watchtower corporation's cover up about child molestations and so many other topics i find it very hard to have any positive affirmations about them as a corporation based on their denial and extreme form of control towards their members to keep them subservience to keep the organization and remain profitable.

but i also realize that all this negativity has a negative effect on me.

i personally wish they would go bankrupt and be nonexistent or burst into flames and all the gb and their helpers wind up in prison.. but on second thought i feel it much better if the gb and the other higher ups would recognize their position(repent) and abdicate their authority and return sell all their assets and return the profits to the faithful that are still a live and make a confession about their dubious claims and behavior.. so to be positive, i wish the gb by some miracle would do so.

I hear you. I also wish they would crash and burn but this would only happen in the twilight zone.

So the wife was sick and stayed home from the meeting. She tuned in through the phone so she could listen. She had the phone on speaker and therefore I could overhear what was said. I was shocked to hear at the end of the meeting a part about registering with JW.org and putting your credit card on as part of your registering. As this would make it easier to donate to the world wide work. If any needed help in registering the elders were there to help. I about came out of my seat! I knew something like this may happen some day BUT when I heard I could not help in thinking: What a scam! Now we have tithing in this form. And the WTBTS can keep records of who gives and how much. More reasons for the Gestapo elders to pay a visit when your donations are not up to par. Has anyone on the forum heard this or know anything about this? I know what I heard!

by TJ Curioso in

hi to everyone!i was summoned to the judicial committee and went.

Holy Roller! Tried that......great exercise on a Sunday plus I loved watching the women rolling around in the isles speaking gibberish. Great entertainment to start the week with. Passed on the ones with the snakes as that creeped me out.

Slang or Terms Only Used by Bethelities

there are many terms used at bethel that might sound foreign to normal people.

there are many words or terms used at bethel that are unique only to their organization.

here are just a few of them.. “a jack” this is someone who is a slacker or just lazy.. “a pot licker” this term has been used for many years but its connotation is unclear.
