highlights from a recent letter addressed to our boe:.
-- a married couple is leaving bethel, assigned to serve in our congregation as special pioneers.
-- the society will pay them $600 per month, and in addition cover their health insurance .

I think we should start a collection for them on JWD and forward it to them each month anonimously. Then we they do get jobs and the Borg cuts them off then we can come out of the closet and see what happens. Best case scenario is they see how those of us who left take care of those thrown away by the borg, worst case they send the money back.

i thought it would be interesting to see just how many people have climbed aboard jwd within the last 6 months.
it will give us an indication on how many people are actually coming away from the borg.. i may not be replying all the time but will pop in every day of so.. lets keep this thread going and use it to welcome new ones.
may i be the first to say welcome.
May of 06, wow has it been that long? Thank you JWD.

What they are thinking is we will be in spiritual paradise for a week. Those of us who have been there know better.

I wonder if they will party with the single bethelites, get drunk at the local Kelties restaurant with beer and hotwings then head to the city for some late night clubbing?

1. bethel in ny suspect high level apostate, cant identify it but know its there.
2. major organizational changes about to start rolling out, one is changes to the "service committee" and titles, po to be done away with, thats all i know for now.
was told that if you are the sort of person that cant handle changes, you wont stay in the org for long.
In responce to what attorn said, it would be a travesty(sp) if this org split in two. That means that nobodys family would get out just be on one side or the other, with close to the same beliefs. Folks who are still in need religion. Those of us who are still in but mentally disconnected know that there can be life after the org.

before we eat we always pray.

Thank you all for your responces! I will definitely try some of them on him. I love it when others share their experiences of active witnesses doubting and being stupid so I was excited to share mine. I am not active but still in. I need my family and hope that one day they will see the light.

Thanks to all who replied. I was just trying to get people to reply, who might if they were a little further down on the list. I am suprised there were no taker

Truthsearcher: I believe he has always doubted. When I was a child he didn't do much in the org. But when I left to go to Bethell he started doing stuff. But I really believes he does it for my mother who is pioneer. Maybe he will change.
Thanks, One
