Witnesses at scene ID'd him? Probably a JW or an ex spouse of one. Didn't do much damage to the hall for all the hullaballoo. Probably more to his own auto.

Hey, JWs have more rights in Egypt today than the Muslim brotherhood does. -

I don't know about an official branch, but they do have JWs in contact with HQ. They contacted me in Cairo when I lived there-by phone. I wasn't interested in talking, but they wanted to meet.
I don't think JWs are that hidden. Coptic Christians are at least 10% of population and the state has funded museums in Coptic district.
My Arabic teachers were openly Christian and taught primarily foreign Muslim students. Christians are not rare or normally singled out for special treatment in Egypt, officially or otherwise.

Leaked Elder's Video: How to deal with a suicidal sister
by cappytan inthis video will be played at one of the clam meetings in march 2016.. the content is kind of old news because it is a recut version of a previous video produced for the elder's school.
however, it's still significant because it shows that the organization still has dissenting brothers in positions of leadership.. my thanks to the leaker.
feel free to claim credit here.

I wanted to slap the permanent smirk off the face of the balding elder. Look up condescension in the dictionary. His face is there.
Praise jah, the chick finally offered them cookies. Tell the dips to go home and eat lunch while they send her to the garage.

Obviously they are feeling the pressure to justify all the money grubbing. I believe they are hearing the silent protests in their wallet. No one can prove anything about financial support. It's the only free speech left in the organization, for now! They will take that, too. -

Finally posting and I'm FRUSTRATED!!!
by stephanie61092 inokay, i'm about to engage in a major word vomit.
just giving you fair warning as your time may be better spent somewhere else.. so, i'm sitting on my lunch break, bawling my eyes out, and writing on this forum to people i don't know yet probably have a great deal in common with but at the same time, used to scare the daylights out of me.
for years, i would come across this forum and 'lurk' awhile if you will, or see things on youtube.

I don't know how long ago your miscarriage was, but if you have post pregnancy hormones rushing through on top of all the feelings that go with finding out TTATT AND being Df'd, you should see your regular physician and tell them the straight up truth about your despair.
Welcome to our little group. You really are welcome here. I'm sorry to your sadness now. It will get better.

If all the world were JWs....
by Tornintwo inin my former indoctrinated state, i used to yearn for a time when all the world would be jws.
but hang on minute, let's just think about what the world would be like if everyone was a jw,.
first of all, no higher education, so no medical advances, no scientific research, no modern day medicine, infectious disease rife, no doctors, no engineers, so no modern day comforts.

My mom was vaporizing about building their own houses and living in them.
Mom, you whine when the handyman take too long to come over
If I had eternity and perfect health I could do it myself
You were married to contractor for 40 years. You can't change a doorknob.
Mom:
I will be able to travel and see the world. All of Jehovah's beautiful world and the Eiffel tower and croissants in Paris, and go on a photo safari. No work, no worries about money!
Me: who is building vehicles, providing fuel? Who's making your croissants and lattes? How long will the Eiffel tower last? Teleporters and magic wands?
Mom: Jehovah will provide
She thinks paradise earth is exciting. Anyone remember a promise of exciting?

No, sharia is better. I was a Christian in countries where sharia was in force. (Sharia is defined differently in different places). I was safe to be me, safe to go to church. Uncovered, etc. Most Muslims are not into converting the unwilling or ELSE! That world of JWs allows no diversity. -

Thoughts during the meeting today
by stephanie61092 inwhile i'm politely sitting during the meeting today, restraining myself from rolling my eyes as the brother drones on about how "having an independent spirit is devilish in nature" and "independence from gods organization only results in pain and strife", i only have one thought going through my mind over and over.
"what would happen if i pulled out a gun and blew my brains out in this kingdom hall?".
would anyone notice or care?

Stephaniel, is it worth what you are paying for the privilege of being reinstated? Please find a person to talk to IRL. We aren't there, but we do care. Who give a flying toenail what those dipwads think? -

Funeral Memorial Service: Who was this mystery man?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inlast night,my wife and i went to my cousins funeral memorial service.it wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be.they had two video screens with pictures of my cousin from a baby to the end of his life.they stopped playing as soon as the service started and the screens were raised out of the way.. the family and close relatives arrived one hour earlier to find seats near the front rows and have a little family time.. there was a mystery man that was seated near the front with a tablet,a jw.org pin on his suit jacket and just sat there writing on his tablet the whole time without greeting anyone or even speaking.. does anyone know who this man could be?
was he sent by the society to make sure everything went well?.

At a KH, filled with JWs? Good turnout! Probably just socially challenged, maybe there to check out single sisters or something. Unless your family is very prominent, doubt there is a dramatic story here.
