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.
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."

wifi is great.
it's so easy and convenient.

when i became an elder i saw the dark side.
a side i previously believed couldn't possibly exist in the one true religion of the happiest people on earth.. then they rolled out 'overlapping generations(tm)' and that was the last straw.. all my life i had doubts but surpressed them thinking i was at fault and not the cult leaders.. it seems more likely that now the governing body are parading around like popes, wearing their expensive jewellery, that this will nauseate even dyed in the wool jws.. i wonder if the wake up can be condensed into main categories?.
1. experiencing the cruel handling of matters by the wbt$ reps.. 2. crazy doctrine (eg.
From my experience, the top 3-4 have been mentioned...double standard, mistreatment, BS doctrine.
So everybody sees and hears the same things. Why does it affect some and not others. It must be a battle, a fight to hang on to this ridiculous doctrine now spruced up with the shiny blue dot.
Half my family is still in. I know my brother, a PO/COBE, see the s**t. What does he do...lead his family out? Just dunno. Some are really oblivious to it all, and I think it is an emotional need, like an addiction...they may lack self esteem and even though the WTBS beats them down, they need the structure...and the pet lion is a nice carrot.
**sigh**
