my mother told me that the congregation has been pretty much begging for money for the local kingdom hall.
after the presiding overseer expressed the state of debt and severe lack on contributions, he then asked the congregation to approve a resolution to send mor money to the society!!!
i don't know how they are able to function.
The rich aren't dying off quick enough, and leaving their estates to the society..and.......they frown upon those who buy lottery tickets, but if someone willed their winnings to them, do you think they'd complain????????? UH,....NOPE. they'd be out the door and to the bank with bells on.....

a paradise exists on earth today.
it is extending farther and farther and is being enjoyed by millions of people.
you, too, can be part of it.
Paradise on earth is in my backyard, not in any congrgation of JW's....what????? with all the backstabbing, the cliques, did I even spell it right?! The desention, elders preaching to do as they say, not as they do....as they are having affairs, left right and centre, while DF'ing the brother's whose wives they are "doing"? The pioneer's getting the special attention while the sister whose husband left her destitute with 3 kids to feed, gets no help at all......what about the family who is struggling to stay in the truth and is desparately needing a sheppherding call, but never gets one because they are deemed "low-lives" in the eyes of the JW elitist group.....Naw, I can't see it.......then again, I long ago removed my rosey-colored glasses............

as some of you may know, i am a recently self-deconverted jw.
the experience of deconversion was at times emotional.
i have compiled a list of songs i would listen to on those emotionally turbulent occasions.
omg!!!!!!! Undercover, you said it all with the Pink Floyd song....it has been running thru my mind for the last few days, in fact I use it as my "name" when I'm on MSN......Wish you were here.....

what would be the thing that you had most trouble giving up.. for me, apart from thinking, it would be swearing (that's cussin' for our american friends).
i absof*ck*nglutely love effing and blinding and i'm sure that i could not stop.
not even if my life depended on it.
I could never go back either, as I would be leaving behind a normal life as i now know it......and all that goes with it..When I pass the KH and it's full of cars, I feel sorry for them as I know that a lot of them would much rather be just about anywhere else, than sitting there at the hall.

i finally went and did something i've always wanted to do growing up as a witness.
i joined a karate class.. i go for my yellow belt test this weekend.
wish me luck!
Happy Birthday Heckler... and good luck with your Karate.....and i agree with Merry, why is it that we are to scream and yell, yet not defend ourselves??? Makes no sense to me, that's why my daughter was in boxing for over three years. She did very well too and now I have piece of mind knowing she can defend herself.......

.
just wanted to formerly introduce myself.. .
i've been hanging out here lately.. didn't want anyone to think i was barging in.. i got so excited about all of the normal people here.. and seem to have lost my manners!
Hi pig and a warm welcome to you from Canada....you will most definitely enjoy the company here, as i do. Say, you don't happen to live near Paula Deens now do you???? I love her show on the Food network. Just asking..

i just got word that the bookstudy attendance in one of the groups at my hall has dwindled off to numbers so pitiful that they're dissolving this particular bookstudy group and splitting up the remainder and shipping them out to other bookstudy groups.
That's funny Mary. I wondered whose study group it was??? My favourite Elder "who had to step down"????? I still think it's only a matter of time before the two congs become one again anyways, in our area. I know, I'm being very naughty....
Dee

P.S. Just who is this anus-Nazi anyways, and from where did he crawl??????
