march 21, 2016 to all bodies of elders in the united states branch territory re: donations to “jehovah’s witnesses of india”
I almost married a dub sister in india. Then only 50K dubs in a country of a billion. And they did not beat to the same tune as the boys in Brooklyn. I am sure the Org is milking this one, but why? I will say, the country of India does have wierd regulations. Don't even think of trying to send gold, even a necklace of only black hills gold. Time consuming and expensive.
Glad I got out of that relationship, and shortly after, the cult.

i am very interested in getting crisis of conscience being fully available as soon as possible.
march 12th will mark exactly three months since the cease-and-desist letter was written.. i understand that things are slow and that deborah may be sick, but i was just wondering if anyone knew the status.
i have been asked twice already where the book can be obtained in spanish and i have told people that the book is not available.. there are ways to make ebooks extremely hard to share.
Legit copies are available online. http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=Franz+Raymond&tn=Crisis+Conscience&cm_sp=plped-_-1-_-search
This company I have used when I bought school textbooks. Unfortunately, the lowest price hard/softcover is $53.

its saturday morning here on the east coast of america.
i haven't been out in service in probably getting close to two years.
i wake up every saturday extremely happy and thankful im not getting up to go f-ck up my morning and my neighbors morning, not today, not ever again.
I'm lying in bed drinking coffee with my wife, not going out door knocking for over 9 years. Getting ready to go work overtime guilt free.
Life is good.

today at work one of the clients that came in for advice was an elder and his wife.
they must be having issues they need help with.
this elder was the elder that told us not to go to a domestic violence shelter or not to go to the police when my daughter got a black eye.. am i bad because i smiled inside that they are having problems?.
Maybe the elder called out to his god Jehober for help with his problems, nothing happened, and "[we] began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself. Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” ".....
If WT can take scripture out of context, so can we. **grin**

PS... Kate...good for you being professional. Hard not to gloat.
as we all know, the clam reeks of propaganda and lunacy (sniff...sniff...mmmmm...smells like the gb's meeting room.
what did dubs glean from the clam that washed ashore this week?
according to the book of ezra, jeehoober is so fearful of competition, that he banishes wives and even small children.
a special message to her daughter, ann marie if you are watching this site.
your mother is eighty-eight now and her memory is going fast.
please call her, ann marie.
I think I found AM on fb and linkedin, should be just someone close reaching out though. Wouldnt want to bombard her with messages from strangers. Is Kirchener near Mouthy?

so we had brother losch visiting our special assembly day which was weird in itself.
he's not a very good speaker and seemed like he was in dire need of a nap or something.. anyways just a few observations from the assembly program.
theme: imitate their faith.
well, I guess if my last 2 remaining JW friends hear this bullsh*t they will quit staying in contact with me. one calls on his way from a job that keeps him away from his family days at a time, probably cause he is bored ...really we have nothing to talk about anymore. the other rarely calls but at least gave me a card and a plant when my non-jw brother died recently. I give the latter one credit, he just recently got remarried, so I am sure that takes his attention, as she she should. lol

it's up to some 800 zillion dollars now and hasn't suckered me in yet.
i've been out of watchtower for some 38 years now and i suppose the lottery is one of their nonoze.
i have nothing morally wrong against it or anyone who enjoys doing it.
I buy them occasionally, just one. I bought one today. Winning comes with its own problems. Hell, you'd have to hire someone to bale all of your mail from all of the unsolicited requests for money, change your address, phone, everything.
I'd be happy with a smaller prize without the required 1 time PR event with the stupid souvenir check, while the PB winner took the spotlight.

i listen to dave ramsey while i work.
he is that financial guy who hates debt.
i agree with 90 percent of what he says.
I like ol dave, even if he is an evangelical christian. I bought a brand new honda civic in 02 right after i grad from mts. Assigned to a cong 75 miles away, but couldnt afford to move there.so i drove 150 mi. RT every sat, sun, thur, plus pioneering, plus later retail merchandising in 2 states....269K miles in 9 years. Being a JW with extra "privileges" is expensive.

i read a thread recently that spoke of the wt ceasing to print watchtower and awake mags in india.
does anyone know if there is any substance/documentation to that claim?
I would not be surprised. I was supposed to be engaged to a sister in India back in 06. Then about 50k jw in india. I personally spoke to Service Dept. In India by phone. Things have never been quite up to GB NY standards. Congos are little fiefdoms. JC about to get you? Nothing a bribe of cash and alcohol can't fix.
Thankfully the engagement ended in 06 when I visited, my time as an elder ended when I got back, and my time as a JW ended a few months later.
Good riddance to all WT printing or digital EVERYWHERE.
