Here in the US many stores now ask for your cell phone number. The company that I am affiliated with does this surreptitiously. They issue you a rewards card and the pin is your cell phone number. Now they have your cell phone captured and use it in 'geo-fencing'. They follow your movement through the cell phone and can tell when you are purchasing from a competitor. FU@K THAT! I threw my manual on this procedure in the trash!

Withholding My Information!
by The Fall Guy inover the past few days i have twice visited screwfix - a uk nationwide company which sells tools & fixings.. on my first visit, i informed the store assistant of the item i required.
she immediately said, "post-code?".
i informed her that it was a cash sale and there was no need to give information.

Why do CO's refuse to strip Elders of their position?
by Tenacious inin several congregations i attended many elders were downright evil and flat out drunk with power.. many times i personally knew of things done by them that would have been a disfellowshipping offense had they not been elders.
and even though many times these issues and spiritual atrocities were reported to the co's and hq they would many times (if not all the time), get off with a mere slap on the wrist or a forced apology.. why do you believe elders are so protected?.
my theory is the authority integrity within the congregation.

Dave Meyers died in 2015. He never got to see the Great Tribulation, Armageddon, or the New System of things. But he is of the 'Overlapping Basketball Players Generation' with Darren Collison...so maybe Darren will see these things in his lifetime. As an interesting side note, I was regifted a gold watch from a friend of mine that received it from Dave. It was stolen from me in 1977.

Many ex Jw`s have suggested they were ostracised for having full time Jobs ,that`s not my experience .
by smiddy3 inwhen i converted in 1961 ,the po and his assistant who by the way was his fleshly brother were both life insurance salesmen , { i know ,why didn`t red flags show up then }.
and the 4 different congregations we attended over the next 10 years in vic,aust,the majority of the brothers had jobs to go to.. we then went to s.e.
qld,for the next 37 years and the majority of the brothers their were self employed one way or another in the building game ,either as plasterers ,actual builders ,tilers , and painters ,electricians , as well as everyday jobs.. my son worked for an elder who owned his own cabinet making business.

I know OF an Elder that just passed away within the last year or so. He held one full time and one part time job up until retirement. He never, ever believed in the 1975 doctrine and lived his life mostly the way he wanted to. He left six figures ($250,000.00) to the religion and his wife is financially set for the rest of her life. Some of his fortune was made by selling some property to a...CHURCH.

Boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates
by pale.emperor innow i think i may have seen everything.. "boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates".
i'm all for people being entitled to wear what they want and live as they please as long as they're not harming anyone but - a male prom queen?
maybe there wasn't much competition in his school?.

At 64 years old, I get a new surprise every day. Apparently, there is such a 'thing' as people believing that they are elves and fairies and have plastic surgery in order to become who they really were supposed to be at birth. I am waiting for the next wave of human insanity. Could bisexual, transgendered, gender fluid, asexual elves and fairies be the next new thing?

Who Wore it Better?
by Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho inin a bizarre world where spaghetti straps are a machination of the devil and a clean browsing history can bestow powers to resurrect your dead child, examining religious claims brings to you a side-by-side cringe fest of watchtower propaganda and latter day saints "education".. this video is part of a series revealing the "one size fits all" nature of high-control organizations.
warning: be prepared to get hot under the collar and squeamish in your tight pants.. https://youtu.be/hio0e2ioz-8.

"in my avatar I am wearing spaghetti straps."
And I might add that no one can carry off a spaghetti strap better than you!
