this was how it was described to me yesterday by a brother who has been there for some 40 years.
"everyone is about gone; the governing body is set to leave within 2 months; the kitchen and laundry personnel are gone and i have to fend for myself now.".
"also the aggravation of 4 to 5 business men in suits with clipboards daily checking out the watchtower properties.
It must be so depressing.
But then again, they chose to hang their star on this cult and not be aware of the signs. So those hanging tight be it there or in the congregations...they want the dream of billions dying so they can have a pet tiger. Good luck with that!
in judges chapter 11 we read that jephthah committed an atrocity by offering his daughter in sacrifice.
however, the watchtower, study edition of april 2016, reads:pages 6 and 7:not only was jephthah a mighty warrior but he was a student of gods dealings with his people.
jephthahs thorough grasp of israels history gave him a clear picture of what was right and what was wrong in jehovahs eyes.
i just saw a commercial for a new movie coming out.
spotlight - about a newspaper exposing the cover-ups of the catholic church about child sexual abuse.
michael keaton, mark ruffalo.
Okay I just watched this movie last night. Just wow.
After what we have all witnessed with the Royal Commission, this movie hits home more than ever. You see again how children's lives are expendable, and people don't matter...only the organization...just like WBTS.
I remember talking with Barbara Anderson years ago about the other cases we never will know about. She said the same thing that was said in the movie...people will settle for a few thousand dollars just to offset medical bills or any bills really in exchange for secrecy. So their other friends, congregation members never know what is going on as they continue life as usual right along side a predator.
I highly recommend this movie.
just got my annual advertisement from illinois international travel (apparently run by jws).
for $1,199 i can take a tour from september 17-25. why are they printing so much bible literature if the witnesses are supposed to be using tablets?.
saturday: first stop at new yorks newark airport, then transferred to a marriott hotel.
LOL...I received mine also.

jehovahs witnesses leaders say they dont protect sexual abusers.

While "legally," the whole world gets that where the law did not require them to report, they are in compliance with the law. But the whole world sees how their core is morally bereft.
This is maybe one of the best gifts the WBTS has given the world, and its ex witnesses. This is who they are. Don't have to embellish this.

That's a helluva article.

!
Sorry just saw this. Hopefully next time.
Hey Jesus!
so today i did it.
i cut my dish network programming to basic....$20 a month ty very much.
instead i have $60 streaming device that gives me everything i need.
Oh gosh...this internet thing.
You are right about Dish. I started live chat a few times, but had to stop because it was taking too long and I was at work. BUT, I received 3 different responses when asked for the "basic package." Finally, I got $19.99 plus the rent of the boxes, which prob still is too high, but the savings just with that is $81 a month. One step at a time. I'd like to try an indoor antenna. I bought an Amazon one for $15 I think, and want to try it out. Of course, there is no recording of shows, which is just a lazy convenience. If I can see what I want on the internet or Hulu...then boom! Done.
I do know people who switch companies for the best deal when the contract comes up or negotiates with price when they can. I just work so much I don't have the energy to deal with "service" companies. I just posted on FB that AT&T terminated a grandfathered plan my company was on and our bill went from $680 to $1800 in one month. That was a fun conversation. I got it down, and credits, but talked with several people and had to do the "please may I talk to a supervisor" routine. It's exhausting.
so today i did it.
