Rebel you sound like your out on a day pass or on mandatory supervision which is it?

i see years of acute economic crisis ahead for the w.t.
this is evident with letting go of " volunteer" bethalites throughout the world.
but my thread is on the consequences to the individual, and the organisation of letting " volunteer" bethalites go.. so what happens to the captive mind of the former bethalite when they are let go from bethel?

the vast majority of deaths from the blood policy are undocumented because they are simply not newsworthy.
if you know of a death or serious injury/disability related to the blood policy, please help us document it.
send as many details as you can recall.
The only reason he is alive today is because he is one tough little son of a bitch.
That bitch is me.
Just like me! I am one little tough son of a bitch but with a kind heart! I am getting tired now. LOL Laugh at life or it will laugh back at you. LOL
i understand that many on this forum are undertaking a slow fade, over months, years even.. can i ask what is the benefit of that instead of a fast fade?.
as i understand it, the elders only have to deal judicially with people who are still active witnesses, known in the community as witnesses, having contact and influence with witnesses etc.
so surely the sooner you stop attending meetings the better.
"have you given up on organized religion?
in many countries the number of people who describe themselves as not religious is growinga trend that suggests an uncertain future for institutional religion.
some of those lands are shown here.
Pepperheart: if you looked at the annual meeting video in part one david splane asks the camera to pan out acroos the hall,most of the people i could see looked over 50 years of age, so in 15 or 20 years how many of those people still be alive
Sad but true, that too is reality.
samuel herd made a statement a few weeks ago about halting construction work, laying off bethel workers and reducing printing output: severe cutbacks all round.
he said, like the head of a household, the gb has to make sure the organisation is living within its means.
but he added a very careful phrase, something like: "be assured brothers these measures have not been taken as a result of any lack of financial support on your part.
Lisa: It's also ridiculous, they started projects they now cannot finish, wasting money on half built buildings. They are trying to put a good face on it, but that is not good financial management, they just screwed up, only a deluded cult member wouldn't know that. Unfortunately there are a lot of deluded cult members.
Reminds me of the fall of the Soviet Union.

i remember at my teen years when i was studying with a brother that he said to me that there was no rain before the flood.
instead there was this mist that you have.
never before or after this have i heard something like this.
fultimestudent: When rain falls on mud, it lives small pit-marks. Usually they are worn away before more sediment covers them, but there are some that survived.
So true, just like when lies from the WTBS land on rational people they are worn away and some remain and survive.
people have varied and strong feelings about politics and wars, but you can't deny the courage a sacrifice of our veterans.
too often they do not get the honor they deserve.
in this country once they come home their sacrifice and heroism is too quickly forgotten.
Shadow you should remember we are all survivors here! Many of us have lost families and love ones not in death or war but by not staying in compliance with the religious teachings of WTB&TS.This happens in many religious groups.
It's called Remembrance or Veteran's Day not out of the lust for glory or self aggrandizing love of war.
