I'm walking distance from where you live. Did you by chance go to the congregation on Cherry ave? Or was it the one north of downtown? I think it's on atlantic? My wife attends the one at cherry ave.

At the hall last night
by Shawn10538 ini went to the hall last night to get an insight book and a concordance.
i had set it up with an elder ahead of time to get them.
i arrived after the meeting had ended, walked up to the counter anxious to leave as quickly as i came when a big brother came up to me, planted his body in between me and the literature servant and started giving me the third degree about who i am, what is my standing in the congregation, and what did i want the books for.

my wife read the text, and jokingly asked me if i was "pretending to be paul".. i answered her, "paul?

I think I know where you're coming from.
As dubs, we were given our 'cult personality' that took the place of our 'authentic personality'. I do believe that putting our true personality on the backburner, so to speak, really limits our growth as a individuals. For me, it seems as if a part of me is missing. Part of me that didn't experience life on an even playing field. Unfortunately I can't turn back the clock and undo the damage.

Moshe calls bro Sinutko- Grrr!
by moshe ini read the thread a few days ago about co, & do charles sinutko and his famous 1967 talk that ended with "stay alive 'till 1975".
it brought back a flood of memories.

by karvel inour bookstudy conductor said that the chinese gov't wanted to buy meps for "millions" from the society.

hahahahaha!
I think this one qualifies as a jw urban legend. I wouldn't be surprised to hear something like this as I've heard many doozies from them, but there is no way the chinese government would agree to such a thing. The chinese gov is a cult of its own that wouldn't see eye to eye with the WT. imo.

Well the next logical move to get new members is to have a kegger
It worked for South Park in the Civil War reenactment episode.
Get the masses drunk and they'll do anything for you.

Any thoughts on "Secrets of Pedophilia in an American Religion"?
by restrangled ini received my copy at noon today and have just now had to quit reading.
i was appalled at the lengths the wtbs has gone to protect themselves in court.
especially in their objections to handing over documentation.

I remember the attorney who was posting here. Not sure just what his JW status was. Oribrous?? Something like that.
I call him OhYouBoreUs.
My understanding is that he's df'd and has no contact with his family. If I'm correct, he hopes that there will be reform within the WT and often takes a view which is pro-wt.
Sometimes I could agree with some of his views, as apostates we can sometimes go to the opposite extreme in our views, but overall, OhYouBoreUs is an irritating gnat that hopefully has flown away.
