  i'm not sure if anyone is keeping track, but as of today, the wtbts has spent $40,000.00 usd to avoid releasing sensitive documents to the superior authorities.

  that's $40,000.00 usd of "dedicated funds.

  are you a born-in jw?

  It occurs to me that this opens up negotiations for settlement a nd puts the WaY is a vulnerable position. They love settlements. B I hope the lawyer in the plaintiffs case holds out for lots of money and no silencing clause.the borg just wants this to go away.

  Anyone know why they are inserting a little e every time they spell out JeW.org on the pictures? As we all know, that is NOT the branding message.

  The MS role is like that of an interning teacher. They are fully expected to take on those roles and prepare for them. They are called on to do a lot of things that elders normally do if there is a shortage and they are the only ones that will be "promoted" to elder. That is like comparing the role of the custodian to the teacher, and in any case, the WTS knew of abuses years before and sat on it. I don't care if he was a pimply faced 16 year old! They knew that there was an abuser and SAT on the information. Idiots.

  a couple weeks back my husband got a phone call from his brother, whom he hasn’t spoken to in nearly 17 years.

  well i take that back, he did speak to him at the family reunion, asking him to leave.

  my husband basically told him to f off, he would leave when he’s darn good and ready, but he didn’t use the word darn.

  There is nothing you can say. Just go and don't care about their thoughts or ideas. You are doing this for your son who has his reasons. You are already being kinder than they ever were, so just figure the coals are being heaped on their heads and be done with them all.

  I saw a video of him in court. JW verbiage is there, but it could be the language of any apocalyptic cult. That being said, he sounded kind of JW-y. I wonder if they had their first convention down under right before then-or he started watching the videos on the internet somewhere. . .

  In the Seattle area, there is more than one KH with 5 congregations. The residential neighborhoods they are in must love that.

  One thing to remember is that even churches have to "fit" in the places they are located. The more crowded they are making those halls, the more street parking happens. I know of a few places where the parking situation is tight, but neighbors handled it for a few hours a week when the streets got crowded because of a hall, but with them being used to "full capacity" it means that weeknights and weekends will be an unceasing parade of cars in particularly dense areas (like N. Tacoma and greater Seattle) Those halls were already an adjustment, but now, rather than a few hours a week, its like a full time commercial enterpise is going on in residential neighborhoods.

  So, there is one more possible reason to relocate to more commercial areas BEYOND the payback when they close everything.

  Splash said: "I see they quote Haggai 2:8 “‘The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ declares Jehovah of armies."

  If this were true then why does the WT constantly badger the congregations for money all the time."

  We have recently established that the GB/WTBTS IS Jehovah', so this is a natural quote for them to cite.

  hi.i am disfellowshipped and separated from my jehovahs witness wife and i am having custody problems with my 13 year old daughter.she has been advised by her mother that she does not have to listen to me and so she dictates to me when she comes to stay.it seems i have lost any fatherly authority and my ex wife has given my daughter the ability to go against my wishes in regards to custody arrangements.having grown up a witness i understand that even though a parent is disfellowshipped the child must still obey the biblical command to be obedient to there parents.it also teaches that the wife must support her ex husband in regards to parenting.i am trying to find any watchtower/awake articles that support this.in any case i would appreciate any links ,information or advice.. regards pat..
