  5go outing story continued

  well the guy that outed pretty much gloated about it at work i reported him to the boss but i think he has poisoned the well as the boss is borderline acussing me of things.

  i am feel like getting an attorney and sorting this out the hard way.

  he has been spying for a month according to his own admission.. .

  The 'so-and-so is no longer one of jehovah's witnesses' announcement simply eliminates the disclosure if the separation was voluntary or involuntary.

  An attorney may be able to stop an announcement from being made.

  The door bell rang today

  by ABibleStudent in

  just before i started undressing to take a shower to go to an appointment, the door bell rang.

  i thought about not answering the door, but then thought what the hell it could be my neighbor, who is a widow and in her 70's, needing some help.. at the door was a frail man about 85+ years old dressed in a shabby sport coat, shirt, tie, and slacks, and a skinny woman about 75+ years old in a long dress that needed to be ironed.

  as i grabbed my dog to prevent him from jumping at the screen door, which was partially open, and beating the couple with his tail and making them fall, i thought what am i going to do.

  This thread has inspired me to invite them in if they ever call on me again. I moved 7 years ago and not a single JW visit since then.

  @ Clarity - Frozen Thin Mints are the BEST. I also like frozen M&M's, and other little chocolates. But thin mints are best eaten frozen. Try it, you'll be hooked!

  Kingdom Hall in Chile has National flag!!

  in the spanish website extj one forum user shows evidence that on the 18th and 19th of september in chile the government calls to honor the nation displaying the national flag everywhere.

  failure to do so is liable to a fine.

  you can see the photos here: http://www.extj.com/showthread.php?23799-celebracion-de-la-patria-y-la-doble-moral-de-los-tjs-auspiciado-por-la-watch-tower/page2.

  WATCHTOWER IN A PANIC!

  by JW GoneBad in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jws are in need of more kingdom halls in many major u.s. cities.

  at this years agm where it is expected that most of the faithful will be able to listen to the meeting (being tied in by video), dont be surprised if the wts 8 gb members take part in a symposium delivering some long winded appeal, petition, plea, proposal, proposition, solicitation or otherwise hit-on the masses for $$$ in order to lighten the burden and overuse that many kingdom halls are experiencing.

  an acquaintance from the west coast mentioned to me that in late august thru early september of this year that a number of pow-wows involving close to 5,000 elders from numerous areas (riverside, los angeles, ventura and orange counties) took place to drum up financial support from the 800+ (not sure) congregations in those areas.

  Maybe they plan to build new halls and sell the old ones??

  That's an awful lot of halls and money with dwindling (?) membership/attendance.

  And seriously... $2.5 - $3million per hall?? with all volunteer labor? Seriously?

  Someone plans to make a mint on this project.

  WOW! What a great video about a Pedophile Case

  Logical, coherent, direct, compelling.

  He was very, very clear about the poorly executed policies. The appeal to the elders who, the newspapers reported, refused to cooperate with the police during a pedophile investigation.

  Misapplication of scriptures. Injustice done on a child.

  Think very carefully before becoming an elder.

  Who is the man speaking in this video?

  Re-Reading some of this very old post and wishing/hoping the recordings can be re-posted as the links all seem to be dead.

  Reading some of the comments from 7years ago, I stumbled on this quip and it made me laugh out loud:

  JWD Poster: HOw did you do the picture SOL? Open camera or hidden?

  SickOfLies: I pulled the camera outta my pocket and took their picture.

  Who is your favorite "Apostate"? Who helped you see the truth about "The Truth"?

  i would have to say that ray franz was the biggest influence for me.. when i first got on this board, a poster by the name of james, a former bethelite and organization heavy, helped me understand a lot of the inner workings in the upper echelons of the society.. .

  and of course, farkel's common sense approach was (usually) helpful..

  Oh, and 'favorite' apostate...? That would be multiple people. Simon, Dave Malone (Seven006), Blondie, RandyWaters, Farkel. Ray Franz, too.

  There's obviously others, but those were the most influential when I first found this site and started sorting things out for myself.

  For me, it was the WTS itself. I was sitting in a meeting and all of a sudden it was so clear that they had indeed strayed from the 'truth'. I could not in good conscience sit there and say nothing - so I up and left. Well... I walked out of the Hall. A walk-away believer. Waited 13 years for them to change their ways and make their way back to Jehovah.

  I found JWN and stopped waiting for them. It was *never* going to happen. They would never be 'the truth' ever again. They never were 'the truth'.

  Type and Antitype

  by wisdomfrombelow in

  2. bible

  i was looking for july 15th watchtower article today to use the words type and antitype but they didn't.

  i wonder when they stopped using those phrases as it seems to be a few years.

  who was the person who liked to use that word like the person who loved to use antediluvian?

  Types and Anti-types. Typical and Anti-Typical. Wow! That's a blast from a very twisted past.

  My guess is Fred Franz. But it's just a guess.
