  we have a bethel speaker on the english side.

  they're pretty regular up here since it's only three and a half hours drive from nyc.. but this is a special kind of visit.. it turns out he's involved in doing a special research project and the christian congregation of jw's wants to know us better.. in order for the broadcasting to address issues more meaningful for families, they want to know the demographic make up of the congregations.. he spoke with the secretary about young single publishers and couples 20-35 y.o.

  how are they employed.

  A question about WTBTS moles.

  by DATA-DOG in

  2. beliefs

  with all the info from videos to boe letters, to the flock book ( this is huge when you learn ttatt!

  ), why can't we find out who the wtbts hired to aid in their rebranding efforts?

  we know all about the rc and monica applewhite for jeehoober's sake, so why in the hell can't we find out who is behind the rebranding?

  Barbara Anderson mentioned this before as was said above : that she was privy to information on the org going through drastic changes and that someone close to her was advised to leave bethel, get an education and lead a more normal life away from headquarters. This over 15 years ago if I recall. Nice lady, her and her husband.

  Well said Magnum PI my thoughts exactly ! Someone once told me that the 'truth' was like a blanket that is too short. I think it's purposed to be so by the GBBG.

  Yeah VirgoChik it was real fun running the mikes whenever I could, great opportunity to check out cute sisters feet and calves ! (one noticed and kept trying to hide her feet under the chair as she gave said comment ) It got to the point that the only 'fun' I had in life was 'self abuse'. I knew it was all BS when my 2 year 'dragged out' study was over but bully boy teacher elder kept pressuring me and making me feel so special that he somehow convinced me to not put off baptism any longer. Pure mauipultaion. I got a taste of it a few months in when I started dating a cute big haired sister and my 'hours' went down. Got a squint eyed puff mouthed talking to. Left that congo not long after and went to French where I got to be know as 'a weak single brother' to be pitied.

  Shithead cult, all great replies above. I tried to toe the JW line, run a business, stay active in sports, keep my hobbies. Lasted for a couple years last time I rode a motocross bike was in '04. Just no time to do any maintenance on my home had to pay to have my lawn mowed at one point. Now so far behind on home repair will take yaers to get back on top.

  Anyone remember the WT where they were bitching on two brothers cleaning out leaves from their rain gutters ? There was an accompanying picture of that. Assholes, I got so burned out depressed and anxious I became suicidal and did a few half assed attempts at it.

  Fully as I was goi9jng through the motions wearing the little hall clothes and church socks I couldn't wait for 'The End' to come so that the hellish routine would be over so that I could relax and get some.

  is there anything that relates to your own experience?.

  I once read on the machinist's forum about a low key timid draftsman being berated constantly my some bullying manager. One day after YEARS of this treatment the draftsman got up right after the last abuse session and hit the bully over the head with a heavy gear fracturing his skull. The injured bully was taken away by ambulance, no one questioned anything and charges were not pressed. The bully came back to work and was never the same after.

  Mind you this happened in the seventies, might not fly in this day and age.
