Damn LeavingWT nailed it.
Also for me looking back I shoulda left after I 1st met the Bethel elder and his belly from the hall I was assigned to.
With-in my 1st day I had all the evidence ti needed to run my ass up outta there.
one the how many exbethelites thread it was mentioned that some think one either leaves down the path towards apostasy or as a 100% true believer.
i'm curious what experiences did you face at bethel that woke you up (or started to at least)?.

"we should be mindful".
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
WAIT ON JEHOVAH?!?
Really?!?
Makes you wanna
The person saying it.
they can simply fire all those dumb sods and release ebook versions of all material printed there, saving money where all contributions are profit..
Just got to hold on to the pretense a lil longer.
Get the new lake front HQ up and running, get all of the 'heavies/worthy's' moved in, than they can began an earnest 'E' campaign of promoting their drool as they try to quietly fade into irrelevance. Their is irony in that last part of that statement.

jt, .
i normally understand everything you write, and get what you mean, but i have been trying to figure out your cheese cracker men expression?
danny.
BUMP
i'm reading here almost every day (kind of adicted i think).
but due to the fact, that my english isn't very good, i abstain from commenting most of the time.. nevertheless i'd like to share some thoughts with you.. .
when i learned the tatt over a year ago i quickly became an atheist.
A few years ago I had to have surgerie on my sinuses...es the doctor told me the full range from how basically they will try and snake out the sinus and if that didn't wortk the progressive step they would have to take. And than this damn procedure took FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I could not eat, last meal was the day before, I was suppose to go in at 10am...did not get taken down till 6pm and than waited by myself in the prep room for another 3 hrs. As I lay there I thought this would be the time a person of faith would pray.
I did not pray, but what I did was start to think. I started to think about life and how I have adopted the tenates of the Sith...Yes it always comes back to star wars. I reflected how satisying the traits of being a Sith Lord were. How a Sith Lord gains strength thru perserverance and challange How a Sith does not seek comfort and realease from pain but uses it to embolden his power.
The point I am trying to make is your beliefs are what you make of them and what you choose. Sadly most of us had that choice made for us by others, but there comes a time of personal awakening and revelation, that demands we choose and follow beliefs that will benefit and empower us as an individual.
Even tho I am an athiest I have a degree of PERSONAL spirituality with-in me. I reconize that salvation lies with-in and that I can choose the nature and form of that salvation. Another thing I have come to realize is that I DO NOT need to force that belief on others or expect them to come to a plane of belief close to mine.

i dont think anyone really knows the answer to this one... but im thinking theyre probably driven around by cos in their buick lacrosses and don't actually have cars of their own... but i could be wrong..... by the way, the cos in my area drive used toyota corollas... so it would appear that the american cos get the plush cars while non-american cos get second-rate vehicles.. .
purchase used circuit overseer cars here.... .
GB's have the same cars as CO its a corporate lease program. For the poster that said one drives an Infinity you are thinking of WT spokesman JR brown (not a GB)
it looks like they are cracking the whip and weeding out the undesirables whether it be elder or inactive ones..
This has been my opinion of elders for awhile...They are scrapping the bottom of the barrel to get brothers to serve.
I have heard of brothers being appointed who back in my day would not qualify as an MS.
These brothers IMO are too weak to really pursue faders. They may be gung ho and bolstered by some bullshit elder school rah-rah but when they come back to life and the struggle of contacting people and the slow realization that the problem of faders is bigger than them, they will fall back into their dismissive ways.
i used to listen to all the stupid comments and wonder if i could sneak out of there and scram!
even after i resigned as an elder, i went for a while and eventually began missing more and more meetings.
but while i was there, i'd listen to comments, chuckle to myself how dumb it all was and then go home with the knowledge that my days were numbered there..
OK this gonna be completly wrong...I would count/imagine how many sisters were 'doable' at each meeting.
