  Protect the corporation at all costs and means. It's what they've always done.

  It still feels unreal to hear it and read it again and again.

  About 'Regular' Pioneers

  by Gayle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now that district overseers have been deleted, now that bethelites are being devalued and increasingly dismissed, now that special pioneers are being deleted in u.s., and maybe elsewhere gradually.

  who would have ever thought?.

  yet, now what is the value to be a regular pioneer to the org?

  The only crumb of recognition the society provides is "pioneer" at the congregation level...excluding servants of course. And they wear that "pioneer" badge proudly. And the pioneers up the overall numbers for the org.

  How was it for you when you had to shun someone?

  by Anator in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember a good friend when i was in and active who was d'fd.

  when he started coming back, for me at that time is was gut-wrenching not to say 'hello' or at the very least encourage him to continue.

  i thought even at this time, does this act of shunning really effective?

  It was terrible.

  The last 20 years or so I greeted DF'd ones who came to the meeting and told them it was good to see them. One time I saw somebody at an amusement park and I treated them like they were invisible. To this day I feel horrible about it. Told myself "never again", and never did.

  My First Birthday.....

  by The Marvster in

  i awoken today and realised immidiately i'm 44 today... and after 3 years of being out, decided to acknowledge my birthday.... i'm off out to treat myself to a big hearty breakfast with cup of tea in the local weatherspoon's by the massive pond full of weird bird-life, later today i'm giving myself a gift of a 90 minute relaxation session in a float tank down by canary wharf in london.... only really have 2 close friends (it's a slow process trusting people agian) and they probably won't be able to see me today, but i'm sure i'll have a belated surprise from them both.... the first thing i did when i remembered was to rush to the computer, connect to the web and put on stevie wonder's 'happy birthday', as i listen to it, tears stream down my face... all those years of my life stolen ' but..... i'm free....'.

  So understand how you feel Marvster. The WT cult really does a number on us.

  Treat yourself and Happy Happy Birthday!

  Wow wifibandit! Since I know current missionaries in the DR today, I downloaded the Yearbook just to have a look. I was happy to see the section on Nicaragua, as my family were need-greaters there. I saw the familiar names of, and have to say, some of the finest, kindest people I ever met.

  A wee bit sad...though. All that work for a crazy cult. It is what it is.

  Paranoia after today's Watchtower

  by Truthexplorer in

  boy oh boy did i feel paranoid at today's wt.

  not only are we to watch our associations outside of the congregation, but also watch our associations 'within' the congregation.

  this was emphasised by the wt study conductor.

  It's always been this way. Hence the judging. "They miss a lot of meetings." "I don't ever see them in service."

  We were taught over and over to evaluate and categorize the members in our own congregation. I was so tired of judging my fellow brothers I swore I'd never do it again when I left.

  wifi is great.

  it's so easy and convenient.

  but it can be slow.. years ago when it first came out you maybe had a pc and a couple of other devices at most.

  My DSL is not that strong anyway. We don't have high speed cable yet where my townhomes are. I sort of went for it because the price was good and had decent reviews.
