No, I did not. If they had just used some attractive pictures, it would have been okay. But as WTWizard said, they had "guilt trips". Days for service marked. THe pictures themselves were manipulative, trying to guilt you to more service/meeting attendance/study. I hated them.

by JimmyPage ini always thought they were the most boring things i'd ever seen.
a picture of someone preaching in a different land every month.. i always ended up hanging something far more entertaining, like an nfl calendar..

Emergency food,shelter and transportation Now being offered to desperate,endangered Bethelites.
by koolaid-man inthe current threating climate now existing in the watchtower organization is reaching extreme levels.
excessive, fanatical, uncompromising dictates are driving bethelites to the edge.
many are in despair actuated by a feeling of hopelessness.

New resolution passed at last service meeting? crazy!!
by finallyfree! inso my ex who has gone back to the wts and is being given the tough love and is questioning whether shes makin the right move.
she told me at the last service meeting that there was a resolution passed that stated that all leftover balances in the congregations accounts would be sent to the society to be used where the need is great, to help out with natural disasters etc and that the funds would be sent back to the congregation if they needed it.. has anyone else who is still in or knows active witnesses heard of this new resolution?
apparently its everywhere in canada as far as i was told .. .

Hey, Snakes - I think A..... has looked at this site, or something like it, from something one of my sisters said. And the reason she writes it down is because she noticed in an accounts report that less was sent to the World Wide Work than she had contributed to it the month before, so she knew someone dipped their hands into the till. Of course, she believes Jehovah will take care of all in his own time - delusional.

I got rid of most of my dresses and suits, donated and gave away to people who could use them - just kept a couple of attractive ones for funerals and weddings. But I also started to buy more nice pant outfits and have worn those for weddings and funerals also. I spend most of my time in jeans any more and workout clothes. I may never buy another dress again as long as I live.

I Have a Peptic Ulcer :-(
by snowbird infinally, i get an answer.. that's a relief.. doctor hopes medication and diet will be sufficient.. i hope so, too.. syl.

Syl,
I'm so sorry to hear you have this problem, but I am really glad it has been diagnosed and is being treated. The antibiotics will clear the helicobacter pylori up, but the probiotics afterwards would be a good idea. Hope you feel better soon.

by FifthOfNovember ini love reading peoples funny stories, angry stories, fading stories, quitting stories, etc, etc...i'm running out of old threads to find them on so i thought i'd start one.

Yeah, oldlightnewshite, ain't it the truth though. Fat and dumb describes the majority of J-dub women. Was she suggesting I needed my parent's guidance? I think she was just trying to control me herself. Bitch!!!

Is Another 1975 Possible?
by God_Delusion inhowdy,.
do you think the society has a planned campaign where they will state that armageddon will be upon us within the next 10 years and actually state that armageddon will definitely hit by 2020?
we all know that they have been drumming into us that "the end is just around the corner", but can you see them pulling another 1975 stunt in order to bring in additional members?.

If they were to find a new date, there are many among them who will swallow it hook, line, and sinker, and then when it does not come about on that date, will continue to follow them blindly, still anticipating that Armageddon will occur any day. My mother and sister are constantly expecting the current year to not end before Armageddon comes and have been that way for years.
