the following letter was read in the congregation today.
it's for all the congregations in india.
i have pasted it as it was.
I wonder about a Tamil congregation in Chennai. I almost married a sister from there. She was a dentist.
Thankfully in retrospect, when I got there, she quickly ditched me. I still hope she and her daughter are well. Her daughter is about my son's age or a little younger....hopefully made the decision to leave the cult.
Not good at the time, but less than a year later I was free of the cult. Now I have a wonderful Catholic wife. LOL

how about something to take your mind off of anything negative?
today i adopted a new puppy.
i already have a cat named loki, and now my new puppy's name is thor.
Angharad...the like is for remembering your pup. Our animals are our family. We had a dog live 19 yesrs. When we finnaly had to help him across the Rainbow Bridge, it was a rare time I seen my dad cry.
Now we just have lots of cats. Love each one.

just wonderin' if anyone has heard of anything about something big going down in the borg?
good friend of mine just told me today that he will be attending a 4.5 day elder "training school" all nest week!
the "special" elder "schools" are usually only 2-3 days.. lots of dumbing down coming?.
Somewhere I may have posted the outline for MTS at the time. Think 2 week Pioneer School on steroids, with a lot of Organizational subjects....Branch organization, Circuit, District organization, Convention departments. Even the MS were privy to the elder manual during the MTS, though they did not get to keep one. Reinactments of JCs. I think I chaired one of those demos, LOL.
Really, in retrospect, dreadful.

I remember when my dad was briefly an elder in the 70s. He went to an elders school. Think it was a week, dunno.
The last one I went to was a day, never 2.
Hell, I suffered through 8 FUC#ING WEEKS of Ministerial Training School in 2002 (62nd US class). Illingworth was tolerable to listen to, Manera was horrible to listen to, except his stories of the old days. He was a walking Proclaimers book. In retrospect, they were both pompius asshats.
Glad I don't waste my 5 weeks vacation on any of that horse crap anymore.

i'm not sure why this memory popped up, and i was wondering if any others, when they were still active jw had dealings with a pyramid scheme involving other witnesses in the organization?
at the time it was 1993, and my husband and i were still newlyweds.
once in a while, we would attend a neighboring congregation because that was where he grew up, and some of his family was still attending there at the time.
My JW mom remembered the CO involved in ACN telecom....Albert Cobble. He and his wife in it big time. His son was close to the top of that pyramid. He was removed forcefully from being CO. Took a little longer to evict them from the circuit apartment. LOL

Who was the CO involved at a high level in ACN? He was eventually removed. I am too lazy to find it at midnight.

okay, so our congregation announced that saturdays they would be switching to small fs groups.
i found that odd because our kh is central to the territory and easy for most to get to.
through talking with others i found out that this is a branch wide directive that has little to do with convenience for the bros and sisters.
I liked it (NOT) when the only other person to show up was a single pioneer sister, with me, the single elder pioneer brother for afternoon service. Years later, I heard other married pioneers set it up on purpose so we would be by ourselves. Then what? It was suggested we take two cars and follow each other so as to not "be alone" in the same car.
What a bunch of dumb asses. We worked together by ourselves, glad to NOT be with them. Funny, NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. We were adults who were friends who were not trying to get into each others pants. Did not keep the gossip from ruining a true friendship.
Dont know whatever happened to her. Assume still a single pioneer with no future. Sad. She was one of the good ones.

they have a very big child abuse enabler international reputation in the courts can these things be a reason for banning these stupid ass carts that claims to have all the answers to mans hardest questions.. why should every library have to permit them to plant their lame ass carts close to the entrance.. i'm thinking that soon due to all the bad publicity surrounding the jehovah witness cult leaders that cart witnessing will come to be seen as a very big waste of time by all it's members that have become hall less thus missing a shit load of meeting and a beginning to start thinking for themselves.. i'm sure many jws hate this type of work even now, even though it's an easy way to get your time in and not be labeled inactive or keep the elders off your back.
have you noticed that a lot of carts don't have a jw near by?
i never see anybody at the carts where i live, i've even asked people nearby and nobody knew who put the cart there.
Looks like Paul put one on his site

So I noticed that the carts have a QR code. Why not print up your own little QR code on a label and place it neatly over theirs? Then instead of jay dubya dot borg, it goes to jwfacts.
Lots of free QR code generators on the interwebs.
LOL
