  Circuit Accounts Servants Confesses how the SCAM WORKS!!

  by JT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yes, i too have wondered how an assembly that is held in a fully paid for assembly hall, with no food service, could possibly have $10,000 in expenses.

  i suppose the bethel speakers have transportation expenses - maybe $1000 or so.

  as for rent on the assembly hall, well you have already paid for it once, why pay again?

  Dumbfounded by COC

  by eyeslice in

  over the weekend, i read for the first time crisis of conscience.. whilst i was already familiar with much of the material on chronology, 1874, 1914, etc.

  i was dumbfounded to learn how the governing body actually works and conducts itself.

  i think that many of us who have been elders in the past can really relate to ray and the battle he faced.. i must admit, i thought it was just me, and the battles i have faced with local hard-line elders.

  Emotional Blackmail and JWs

  by Lady Lee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  emotional blackmail is a form of controlling one person to gets ones needs met.

  a blackmailer may use direct or indirect threats against us to get what they want regardless of our opinions or feelings.

  the one great threat is: if you dont behave the way i want you to, i will make your life miserable.

  after much deliberation, i decided to go "out" at the end of a public talk.

  it didn't go down too well, but at least i was able to give some of my reasons for leaving.. i've put some of the details on my homepage.

  i'll update it more when i get the time and the strength.
