Glad you had a pleasant catch up with a former associate. I hope all your procedures go well. I hope he and his family are being freed mentally at least.

Update to: As a Matter of Conscience, I Am Resigning from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses
by Sail Away ini just had a two-hour doctor's appointment (treatment for branch retinal vein occlusion) that requires screenings, scans, dilation, anesthetic and injection, etc.
this makes it necessary to spend a lot of time in the waiting room..
my former p.o., book study conductor and later field service overseer was there and greeted me in a friendly way.

Why Is The Governing Body Moving Corporation Headquarters Out In The Boonies Away From Public Veiw?
by Brokeback Watchtower ini think the decision to move to a more secluded place was probably started taking shape right after silentlambs march at headquarters in clear public view of their neighbors.
i mean how do you respectively live something like this down in front of all those neighbors close by?
that's why i think they are heading for the boonies because deep down they know that their public reputation will only go from bad to worse at this late date of the faithful & discreet slave of god con game.

Property is relatively cheap upstate. I don't see that area booming anytime in foreseeable future, but they saved tons with the flip, regardless. They didn't need to be in a pricey area. For visiting JWs it will be cheaper and safer to visit, so it's not horrible, other than the extreme cheapness of putting a bunch of folks on a toxic waste site. but most folks are temporary, right?

Prince wanted Obama to ban birthdays and Christmas, according to his buddy Van Jones
by OnTheWayOut ini saw this news scrolling at the bottom of the television screen this morning.
i looked it up.
not much of a story, but it certainly has the ring of truth to it.

That's not credible to me. Prince was a couple different kinds of crazy, but he wasn't stupid and I don't think he was mean.

My hubby is in insurance. If your only life ins is through your employer, you could, depending on policy, be without a job or life insurance at a past your prime age. You should all check that you are covered in event of termination of employment for whatever reason. Easier to buy privately when you are younger, healthier and preferably employed than when older with health issues. Financial planning should start when young as possible and long term planning should not rest with one employer keeping you. They dont much do that anymore.
So far as jw life ins business. . .dont go for the low hanging fruit. Get quality customers that will not drop coverage the minute they are alarmed by a world event and would rather go out for dinner than pay their life insurance premiums when they are never going to die.

The Book of Mormon
by dubstepped inmy wife and i went to see it today at the encouragement of some of our new friends.
we laughed until we cried, and it was so cathartic to sit in a room full of hundreds of people laughing at the ridiculousness of religion.
sure, the subject is mormonism, but it was very poignant and applicable to all religion.

Mormons honestly have a better sense of humor about things. In the church and out of it, they can laugh at themselves. JWs are incapable of it.

It's an emergency. If Dr can't get you in, find another dr. This isn't about boss, co-worker or your dentist. It's just an emergency.

Remote Translation Offices (RTO) of Jehovah's Witnesses
by Brokeback Watchtower inwhat do you think about these things.
it seems like a monumental waste of time and money, a pipe dream of the governing body based on wishful thinking.
this corporation is going down the tubes with these asshole deluded genius's calling the financial investment shot.. buying chemical dump property around the world to build their financial empire headquarters on while facing massive child molestation lawsuits now and many more in the future means it looking kind of bleak for these messed idiots running things.. http://jw-branchoffices.blogspot.com/p/watchtower-remote-translation-offices.html.

This is the same religion that sends 3 English and Spanish people door to door in Texas and seek out Spanish householders. When the householder, whether my husband or I says that no, we speak English, but most everyone else in neighborhood speaks Spanish, they say thanks and leave probably the only person who will actually answer the door all day with no kingdom message, small talk, nothing. I wonder how many people they will blow off that doesn't speak the targeted language in spite of the fact that everyone at the door speaks a language in common natively and fluently. Those are the only JWs we get other than the white English speaking brother who shoved an invitation to convention at us without a word chatting with his partner as he stepped off the porch in pure texas English.
