Stilla, that is one of the few times since I left when I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall to hear all the ooohing and aaaahing about how the FDS knows just when to make adjustments in order to reach the most sheep.

March KM also gives instructions to POs
by stillajwexelder inalso in the march km apart from the big front page article about awake being monthly - is a rebuke to pos to distribute kms as soon as they arrive.
i am glad about this - far too many pos are control freaks and distribute kms at last possible minute - it is almost as if they are saying - i am better than you because i get my km about 3 weeks before you do.
anyway we got our march kms last night and they were distributed immediately

Film Documentary about Ex JWs
by Ayernye inmy name is ayernye... sometimes i go by stephan... it used to be stephen mcguire back when i was a witness in the wilmington and groton massachusetts congregations from '83 - '94.
was a pioneer and ministerial servant and was married for two of those years.
with tremendous agony and confusion, i moved far away to discover myself... took years to adjust to my new reality... drugs... drinking... anything to numb my tired brain... but the transformation was eventual and so worth it... of course... i am now my own person... mostly happy, adjusted and living my life to the best i can... .

you are right, but i think most people unload because they can do so without a face or voice. i think that the majority of posters (i could be wrong) on the board do not post their picture - but for those who do - good for them. those are brave and self confident people.
Some here are so well known by the WTBTS they have every little bit of slander they have received about us from the local dubs on file just 'in case' so a picture is no big deal. I just wish they still were spying on the house and watching for me in town like they used to do between the time I confronted them with the truth about their interfaith and UN affiliations and told them the GB is just as apostate as their daddy Satan.

Do you have to be Anointed to be called a Jehovah's Witness?
by Triple A inhttp://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/85344/1.ashx
in the above thread i said, ?to truely call yourself a jehovah's witness, you have to be one of the 144,000 (anointed).
truthfully you can only truely be a champion or associate.

They can claim to be anything and put any label on it because most of the dubs are so blinded by the WTBTS, CCoJW's, GB and the dub elders they believe everything they hear if it issues forth out of the mouth of Crooklyn Bethel.

Where is Jesus role being emphasised in this 'part'? I admit to being a bit mentally challenged but I just can't find him in there anywhere.
Someone help me understand how this can be. Oh... I forgot I can't understand the bible without help from the Faithful Slave.
Where are you, O Great self exalted Faithful and Discreet Slave? Please show yourself to this unworthy wench so that I may too have insight that only you alone out of all the peoples of the earth possess.

Hey unc,
Since casting off the ineffectual Watch Tower gods as dung unfit for maggots I have managed to collect a following of brain dead tadpoles and frogs. We are searching for a new environment in which to propagate our species and really are impressed with your community. If we promise not to make the same false promises as the borg and keep our beliefs 'in house' so to speak can we buy into your beautiful paradise? We only ask due to getting tired out that the WT paradise is still around another corner and yours is an evident demonstration of things seen.

Why Let The Elders Tell You What To Do?
by minimus inif any are still going to meetings or allowing the organization to control you, i'd like to know why are you allowing the elders to dictate to you what is right and wrong.
the elders are no better than you!

Because they have been appointed by Jehovah's earthly organisation and since this old system is going to end soon I want the best job possible in the new system. As long as I obey the 'princes' there may be a possibilty that I will survive the end and they will remember how much I kissed their asses in 'Satan's World" so I can help train resurrected unrighteous people to kiss their asses too instead of being on the back of the garbage truck with brother Independent Thinker.

Why the WTS hates the Internet
by doinmypart inthe wts & its various corporations are a behemoth, rudderless ship with no one at the helm; only concerned with self-preservation.
the result is an inflexible organization slow to make change and not interested in the welfare & rights of individual members.. the internet and boards such as this allow for excellent communication and freedom of information.. because the internet is free and provides relative anonymity it has proven to be one of the greatest threats to the wts.. the wts leaders could be proactive and act in an ethical way, but they'd rather react when a perceived "threat" arises -- telling members to avoid the internet, shun family members, do more/stay busy, and so on.. as jt used to say, "i love this 'net thang".

Happy Birthday to your daughter !!!!!!!
Don't worry you'll find plenty of real friends who don't shun people just because they want to be different.
I told the local elders that I was severing ties with the WTBTS because of their twisted doctrines and in the 2 months since then have made many more friends than I ever had in Jahobah's organisation. All of them are more spiritually mature than any of the old fools on the GB because they don't demand the shunning of anyone and they do as Jesus said; baptise in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit something which the WT organisation does not.

Elders stepping out of bounds
by homme perdu inwhen i was very young the elders told my mother that my unbaptized teen sister could not go to the public park on days that brothers would socialize at due to her lack of morals.
three years ago my brother moved in with my grandmother.
he is baptised but faded from the organization 10+ years ago.

About 2 months before I called Crooklyn Bethel for answers about the UN/WTBTS affiliation one of the elders called and said he and another elder had stopped by but I was not home. I was glad they had taken the time to come by until he asked me if I had anyone other than me living in my home. I sald I did not. He then told me some congregation members had seen me at a local fast food restuarant with a woman who was not my exwife and he wanted to know who she was. I told him she is one of my health providers which was not entirely correct of me but probably better than saying who she really is..... my professional cult deprogrammer. Yep, that's right folks. I was so screwed up from my involvement as one of the WTBTS volunteer book placers that I had to be deprogrammed by an anti-cult mental therapist. That's the problem with groups such as the Jehovah's Witnesses. Health insurance companies are taking big hits because they have to provide the resources to help people rid their mental problems incurred by involvement with these organisations that claim to be the voice of God but in reality just take advantage of people, governments and health care providers.
