very scary ...in the passed few months two adult men ,and one woman have all gone missing .
one of the men was found in the river after several weeks .
That's a sad update. The only upside is that he was found so quickly. We had someone go missing in our congregation back in the early 90's. She was 'missing' for 19 months before her body was found. It was really, really rough on family and friends as you can't put closure on a missing person.

court rejects missionary lawsuit against netanya schools for voiding leasethe tel aviv magistrates court has rejected a claim by a missionary group, saying that the school they had been renting space in unlawfully voided their contract , and asking the court to instruct the school to pay nis 108,000 in compensation and mental anguish, as well as legal expenses.. it began when a missionary group, via a non-profit organization called "mitzpe l'yisrael", rented space at the raziel school in netanya to conduct daily afternoon activities.
shortly after signing the rental agreement , the school authorities discovered that the group was, in reality, the notorious missionary sect of "jehovah's witnesses".
Very interesting. Thanks for posting this.

i would tell them please come out anyway he would just love to see you.
i saw the lack of love and could not believe it.

Even then, hard core witnesses may not mourn family. My hard-core JW mother did not attend her own mother's funeral. She did not see the need to travel cross-country. I was the only one of my immediate family who attended.

hello jwn!
i don't get to check in here or comment as often as i would like because i have been working so hard at school...but i just have to share my news in hopes that newbees can see that taking the leap to enroll in higher education is worth it-.
i am graduating this spring with a bachelor degree in art history, minor anthropology...many people (including nonjw's have given me flack for choosing a "dead end" career path) but since leaving the watchtower organization's group-think mentality and "leaning on my own understanding" instead... i decided to say fuck everyone else's opinion...i am going to pursue my passion to work in a museum as a curator or archivist-.
A choice between two great offers? What a great problem to have~!!
Congrats on making your dreams come true *and* ThankYou for sharing your excitement with us~!!

7 years ago i started on a path i had long ago given up on as impossible.
i met with my elders and told them i could not justify carrying on as a jw.
i went and got my high school qualifications and my higher education diploma (a levels with distinction) in just 12 months.
Wow!! That is absolutely tremendous! HUGE Congrats to you.
I hope you find extreme joy in developing your skills and satisfaction in making a true difference in people's lives.
What a great testament to live after the cult and benefits of tenaciously hard work!
Congrats!!

the recent letter being us to come to detroit shows that jws are beginning not to take the gb seriously anymore.
the buzz following the meeting was that the letter was unprecedented in its tone.
this coming from long time jws of 30 years plus.

on one of the recent boe letters, they sent a rbc form to document any accidents on the jobsite.
there is a portion to check if the injured person was an elder, pioneer, ms, etc.... .
why does this matter?

Insurance would pay if the accident occured on rented property. However, on WTS-owned property, I don't know if there *is* an insurance company to deal with. Somehow I have thought that the society was 'self-insured'. And if that is the case, I wonder how generous they would be with a payout...?
