apparently, at some assembly halls they are removing the pay phones and replacing them with their own phone lines - with a contribution box next to it.. you may already know about district assemblies where they put 'out of order' signs.
on working vending machines to prevent the rank and file from using them.. how much money do they expect to make from this?
they are trying to hustle pocket change!.
None of what this corrupt organization does surprises me anylonger.
Remember, these rat bastards teach that they live in a sort of theocracy, so EVERY aspect of their followers lives is subject to THEIR interpretation and whim.
Sex, money, family, eternal destination, all theirs to control from their followers.
Since all this is true, telling you where to buy your lunch from is a very little thing to them.

i recently subscribed to the wall street journal online.
i found an editorial written by a senior editor, who was a jw!!.
article 2 of 14 .
....a cult by any other name.......

if you were to describe what your status was in the congregation, what would it be?
were you viewed as mature?
in "good standing", a pain in the rear?
..piss-ant roadkill thats too spiritually weak to guard at the doors.

as a youngster raised in the "truth", i had my questions.
but anytime you ask a question that is unanswerable, you are told to just wait on jehovah.
as time passes, i believe that we store up a number of unanswerable questions that forces one to eventually think about everything.
About 5 years ago I started asking the elders A-LOT of questions about socialtal teachings that made little scriptual sense.
I guess those elders interpreted my sincere questions as QUESTIONING THE SOCIETY, a BIG NO-NO in dubdom.
Anyway, I had a-lot of responsibilities in the hall because I wanted to help my brothers and sisters.
After awhile however, the brothers began "removing" me from my duties one by one. Wt reader, mag serv., teritory serv., mikes, sound etc., all began to go away.
After putting in ALL that effort I just KNEW people were looking at me and wondering why I was just SITTING there , not doing anything.
I even stopped answering at all meetings cause I knew I was being punished for doing the evil question asking.
So, it was the punishment thing that got me turned off and then I found the net. LOL.
NOW I'M REALLY DAMMED!!!

if a former jw decided to put on a suit and tie and go door to door trying to place old wt magazines and books they had laying around, and asking for a small donation, but using the proceeds to buy beer, is that illegal in any way?
i figure they at least owe me a beer.edited by - irongland on 4 november 2002 21:28:23.
I like ASAHI Super Dry.
Oh, ... Was this post about field service donations?

just venting before i go to work.
i was thinking how watchtower has to be one of the biggest pimps of peoples minds and bodies in the world.
#1 they have their people go out and "perform" or "do tricks" with peoples minds and emotions.. #2 they have their people go out and bring in the "masters belongings", warm bodies, their money and a lifetimes servitude, with watchtower the "master"!
Hello all,
Just venting before I go to work.
I was thinking how watchtower has to be one of the biggest PIMPS of peoples minds and bodies in the world.
#1 They have their people go out and "perform" or "do tricks" with peoples minds and emotions.
#2 They have their people go out and bring in the "masters belongings", warm bodies, their money and a lifetimes servitude, with watchtower the "master"! It's watchtowers' secret, don't tell anybody, he he.
#3 They threaten with DEATH, at their god's hands, anybody who want's to leave! The pimp ( watchtower ) using his enforcer to keep the prostitutes in line. ...rat-bastards!
Yep, that about sums it up.
Good day all.

if the subject of religion or even jehovah's witnesses ringing your doorbell has come up, do you shy away from talking about ever being a witness?
some have indicated that they felt stupid for ever believing in the watchtower.
others have said they have a responsibility to help others not get involved in this "cult".
I warn everybody I talk to about the evils of the cult of the jehovah's witnesses.

what, according to the wts, is greedy - because i've just read from the latest tablet on watchtowerinformationservice that they should .
"quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person" .
so what's with a greedy person - who's that - a person in a roller who runs over cripples - or someone who doesn't run after thieves to give them a cloak that they could well do with ?
What, according to the wts, is greedy -
Simple,
Whatever watchtower want's is good, including the bodies of young children...
Whatever anybody else want's is greed, because they are not giving it to the watchtower!

i just had a question.....a rant is intertwined as well (sorry) .
when i was in the jw's, i noticed so many "new one'z" and "interested one'z" who were nicely dressed people.
many were fairly well-groomed, the women & girls with nice stylish fashion taste.
Sorry to hear about your little sister RM, the more positive influences she has, the better it will be for her.
I've mostly seen "battles" between young people and their parents out in service about what they are wearing. Mind you, the biggest problems were between girls and the flower dress/ skirt cut too low senerio. I think after time young people just give up to the society's view of "proper dress" and this causes depression because they are not allowed to fit in with the majority of their peers.
Remember, the cult of the jehovah's witnesses are only concerned with two things about you,
FIELD SERVICE
AND
MEETING ATTENDANCE
Literally ALL OTHER THINGS come secondary to these. Out thoughts, our feelings, our emotions, our dreams, EVERYTHING, is made to support these two things. This is by design from the cult of the jehovah's witnesses.

... there i was self-centered in the forest, up to my elbows in cement mortar, trying to build a stone wall by wrestling order from the chaos of crooked rocks strewn about me, when a strange car comes loping down the track toward me.
bro sugarbag: ""yes, the bible says ... .
unc: "sorry, i'd rather not talk about religion today" .
Just giv'em the magazine and leave, in a hurry, no discussion what-so-ever!
That was pretty much MY field service activity toward the end.
I did'nt even want to open the rag and look at it myself, I was so disgusted with the content.
