  2. experiences

  just got the heads up from montreal that 16 congregations will cease to exist from 1 april 2019. also 3 kh are no longer going to be used anymore.

  this was a major announcement for many and upsetting.

  wonder where the r& f are going to be dispersed with what sacrifices in the way!.

  Active JW's - Does None of This Bother You?

  by The Fall Guy in

  thanks to atlantis and his sources, we are able to examine material from the alleged "faithful slave" which is intended only for the eyes of the shepherds wolves in the congregation.. information needed for visit of circuit overseer .

  all congregation accounts records covering the period since the last visit, which would include any bankbook being used and the records for any additional accounts being kept by the congregation.

  (do you have excess money which should have been given to us?).

  This thread reminds me of all the JW's that crapped on me over the years when I was depressed and vulnerable. I was very generous and giving with them until I became suicidal. At that point there was no help to be found other than them coming over to my house to belittle me for being an ambitious small business owner that enjoys work life. Felt like they were getting back at me for not fully doing 'Jehovah's' will and rubbing my face in it.

  so yeah, i've been encountering the word 'populist' quite a bit recently.. e.g.

  trump's a populist president.. what does it mean?.

  does it simply mean popular?.

  Emoluments. David Cay Johnston, Tony Schwartz and many others wrote about this, some as far back as the eighties covering Trump. I find it surprising that the current President has so many supporters in the Ex JW community. After all we finally woke and got wise to the cult, yet so many now latch on to and become yes men all over again.. I'm centrist by the way, believe in the merit system. Anyhow happy wishes to all. Cheers !

  everyone sounds like they came out of stepford wives.

  .

  is this supposed to be the way witnesses are to speak?

  Last time I went to the ASSembly hall in Montreal summer of 2015 as a last ditch effort to possibly start up again I promptly had a panic attack as I listened to a middle aged couple being interviewed. It was truly a gut wrenching experience as I just got up and ran out before passing out. Went to bathroom to splash some cold Montreal city water on my face. I knew then I was done, the end..

  Never set foot in any JW facility after that, your body is telling you something.

  Let's review folks : It's a cult !

  Door-to-door preaching as surveillance

  by john.prestor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i wanted to share some thoughts about jehovah's witnesses and their door-to-door preaching.

  door-to-door preaching is supposedly about gathering converts, but in fact, as we frequently discuss, doesn't actually bring that many "sheep-like ones" in.

  i want to suggest that a second meaning (what we call the latent meaning in academia) is facilitating surveillance of the congregants who attend some congregation.

  Hehe, they were in my area yesterday morning. Was in kitchen at the sink looking at them through the window as they were being ignored on my neighbours doorstep, then when they turned away the man who was with his wife and child turned and looked directly at my house and I although being at least 75 ft away though the tress separating our lots. CAUGHT SPYING !! Then 5 mins lalter as I was turning out from my street ( hoping to run into said spy's.. ) I noticed a minivan down the street with a woman clutching a magazine getting in. She froze for a second and stared at me as I pulled out. Was really tempted to drive right by them in the opposite direction and stop just because hehe. They both seemed aware of me, probably because I'm a known DA or even gasp ! : Apostate !!!!!!!
