  also his stock share is valued at $800,000!.

  i did some research and spoke to some longtime witnesses and found out that there are 500 voting members of the society and they are also called shareholders.. has anyone ever of someone selling his share?.

  I, too, have heard (decades ago) some shareholders were not even JWs. was perplexed then and still am. Why would anyone be a shareholder, not a member of the organization (or any other such business, religion, etc.) and have no monetary interest, or any other interest in such organization??? Why would they bother?! Just where is this list?

  "Only Baptized Ones have Unrestricted Privilege of Prayer"

  i was sitting at the recent circuit assembly that i attended, (the things i do for sis blues) and the baptism talk was under way .

  i admit that my mind was more on my imminent packed lunch and flask of coffee but i distinctly heard the speaker make the statement that heads this thread and cite a wt reference.. you what !

  i was shocked....... how can they possibly make such an arrogant statement ?

  God is their commodity! You have to pay them, your time, money, heart and soul, to get God. Your down payment is baptism.

  I just read Bo Juel's book, "The Least of God's Priorities." He did well writing about his JW youth with so much family disfunction (step-father and grandfather) and compounded with sexual abuse from elder. Amazing he came through it and a lot of his processes. He only felt all those years he had to be silent, as a youth and even as an adult. Now he is "pro-active" about the exposure of the Watchtower abuse policy toward youth.

  It takes a lot of survivor development to leave the WT world when raised JW and compounded when there's been sexual abuse too. I recommend the book. I have read most personal books of former JWs. We all have a true story. Some will write.

  I think many getting dismissed, are stunned yet. Still doing the positive talk about the org. out of habit. But I expect as this next year rolls in, that many will have a different tune.

  Is my friend on the way out of the organisation?

  by The Rebel in

  2. friends

  when i left the watchtower i realised it was best to put friendships on hold.

  however i mentioned to my best friend that i didn't agree with how they handled child abuse issues and that was one of the reasons i left.. anyway as i am fortunate and own two rental apartments and he is a plumber so we have kept in contact, in that i email him when i require his services and he sends me the invoice.

  anyway i am now dissociated, but yesterday i emailed him about a pluming problem, and he replied.. " sorry we missed going to the indian ( this was a comment made about us having a meal together about 9 months ago, which i backed out of because i felt he was too indoctrinated and i had not disassociated myself) anyway his email continued:-.

  his email continued:-

  "would be interesting to catch up, was interested in your comment about paedophiles. It also seems there is an issue with money at the moment as they stopped work at Chelmsford and some bethelites have been laid off"

  he clearly 'wants' to talk with you, even about WT issues. he is reviewing this organization. It can be a lonely time when one is starting re-analyzing, questioning things and have no one to talk with. Go for it.

  as many of you know, my ex-husband was removed as an elder for child abuse.

  i was told at the time he would never be reappointed in any capacity.

  yet i heard today he was appointed as an account servant.

  exciting,, I just get that when new ones come on site here & make their first comment. at least he is making contact with you. In the name of "business." Just a thought, it has happened, that ones were disfellowshipped just eating at a restaurant with a DA/DF'd person. Maybe? he could just pick up your check at your place, (easy cover) and come in a moment, simple chat, cup of coffee, and see where conversation goes from there?i
