BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?
by Black Man ini often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.
while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).
a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

Yeah, that is probably right. Anyhow my wife is at the bookstudy right now. I begged off, although I am sure she was wondering if I would go. It is hard giving them hope like that but it sure makes it easier when we go over to folks
homes. One other thing I noticed was that a couple of witness nazi sisters would not even acknowledge me which was interesting. I have heard that a newer bro. in the hall is experiencing some "abuse" from a co-worker. He is
bringing in a lot of stuff from the net and trying to show it to him. They have gotten into some heated conversations. Maybe something will develope.

well maybe people are away on vacation. Anyways after the meeting was over and I was about to go out the door I heard one of the elders in the hall comment "man where did everybody come from today." Inferring that meeting
attendance was good. Another elder agreed with him "yeah nice to see." I didn't look at the numbers on the board but I bet there were only 60 people there and this was the morning meeting. Interesting isn't it with the total
numbers in the US being up 1%. Another interesting observation was that no one lovebombed me either.

Can U Stop The Elders From Having A Judicial Committee Against You?
by minimus ini don't think so.
i believe that if they decide to have it, there's nothing legallyspeaking, that you can do to thwart it.. what's your opinion??
?.

During a discussion with an elder the elders said they like it when a person DA's it saves them a lot of time! Makes it easy he said.

A gradual decline or sudden collapse for the WTS?
by DT inmany of us believe the days of the watchower society may be numbered.
they are receiving an unprecedented amount of well deserved negative publicity.
however, they are still experiencing modest growth.

I have to admit that when i found out about all of this on the internet i was upset. I thought that perhaps the borg could be taken down through some covert ops from within.
Now I believe that those ex-jws who have taken hold of their lives and went to school or back to school and started a true career earning real money should start a public education campaign sort of like persons running for office do. Each year money is collected and used for some targeted public education via radio, tv and print (internet is pretty well covered). Also money could be used to monitor the every move of the leaders within the ranks of the borg, co's, do's, GB, gilead instructors, etc. That intelligence could be used against them for information gathering from within or an internal operation.
Money is what drives everything, the WTS thrives on it. Why couldn't it drive a campaign against it? There have to be some wealthy ex-jws who could drop some dollars without hurting their bottom line.
Are there any ex-JW politicians who need a platform to run on? There are a lot of watchtower issues to use.
Don't misunderstand i am NOT proposing starting a religion just an outreach program that is headed up by a wealthy benefactor who has the experience or persons on his staff to make it happen.
People have tried it before but did not have the money backing them to do it.

Started doubting in 2004 and started the fade at the beginning of this year, 2007. pioneer, ms & Bethelite in the past. Family deeply committed including wife and I just feel sorry for them. But at times I feel bad for the probable looks they get for me being out. I still get invited to get togethers and people still treat me well but they may have to do with the fact that I am a po's son and respected in the local community in general.
