  this article suggests that there are projects being halted, but chelmsford isn't one of them.

  can someone from the uk tell me if this article was written by a reputable and known publisher?

  plans for huge jehovah's witnesses hq continues.

  Wouldn't a bunker be proof that they don't trust in J? I find it hard to believe that they'd create bunkers. That's not their style.

  i'm visiting this site after few years here and it's feels like coming home!

  just a recap on my past visits here ... i was a confused single jw mom with a 9 year old son in 2011. some friends here sent me soft copies of coc and few other ebooks which gave me the courage and strength to exit from wt society.

  best ever decision i made!

  How much do you think GB enjoy their lives?

  by elbib in

  2. beliefs

  many who have watched the gb know that they seem to be desperate to be admired, to be looked up to…….

  now the question arises—do they really enjoy their lives?

  does their superiority complex make them feel good?.

  They live the good life. If they are true believers they have no fear of death and in the meantime they are at the top of the heap and everyone listens to every word they say. The only downside could be if they are humble, which I don't actually think they are, they may be burdened with concern for the rank and file witnesses and the tough life most of them live.

  Memorial Audience Filled with Unbelieving Mates and Other Miserable Relatives

  i looked around my hall and saw so many miserable unbelieving mates and relatives it was actually funny.

  they were in a glazed-over stupor.

  they looked liked children forced to go to an opera.

  A few days ago my kids and I discussed the memorial. My kids said I looked like a kidnap victim and laughed at me. I said they did too and laughed at them. Then we all laughed together at the absurdity of the entire evening.....My wife has no idea what we were laughing about.

  It feels good to have saved my kids. I worked hard and sacrificed a lot to try and save them.

  It was today? My wife didn't attend or try to do the phone connection. I thought it was next Sunday.

  I wonder how many Indian witnesses there are in the US. I wonder if the WTS will send a similar letter to the elders in other industrialized nations as well.

  Welcome. Thought your story was written very well. Wish I knew French as well as you know English.

  I won't ever forget my life as a witness. I can only speak for myself, but my witness life wasn't all bad. I had lots of friends and went to lots of social events. Now I'm free and know TTATT but I am also much more alone. I will never go back to all the lies but I won't forget the good times either.

  JW TV - Britain Branch Report

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  although it is titled as "britain branch report" it's not much of a report.

  it only goes for just over 6 minutes and half of it is some 'wild talk' about romeo and juliette, i say wild talk because it has nothing to do with the british branch and if there was any point to it, it's lost on me.. anyway, about the only thing said that is of any importance was this (at the 2.20 mark) -.

  "the governing body, very kindly, have given us permission to continue construction once we have reviewed the scope of the building so we hope to be underway very soon".
