i often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.
while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).
a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.
BTTT
I found this thread in a Google search for some names from my JW past.
That sister from my reply. Last I heard, still single.
I often wonder about an old friend at Bethel. Todd Nunes. He was from Springfield, IL. Was in Brooklyn in laundry, then tape duplication, then electronics of some sort at Paterson or WTF. I cannot imagine he is still there.

put in your bets as to where you think lard i mean lloyd evans will land after december's drop in his patrons.
in september he started at 457 patrons, did his whiny begging fest and peaked at 478, but then dropped down to 439 at the beginning of october.
as of this moment (nov. 6), he's at 427 paid members.. so, where do you think he'll be on december 2nd?
420. Just because.
I think people will be too busy to be bothered to sign up or stop supporting him.

governing body member samuel herd gives a symposium talk: love for jehovah in modern times at the 2023 annual meeting of jehovah's witnesses.
at the 11 minute mark of the symposium, we meet (100 year old) brother david buettell and his ( 98 year old wife) phylis.
That Herd fuc@er is still around?
Him and Lett can kiss my pale white ass, they caused me alot of trouble personally.

so everyone knows the “big news” of this past weekend, no more reporting of hours, placements, return visits, etc.
beginning november 1, jws just tick a box indicating whether they “shared in any form of the ministry during the month”.. so there was a brief comment by a redditor that seems like a brief joke “throwaway comment” but after thinking about it….why not?.
the idea is, what is “any form of the ministry”?
As FFGhost said, "It is now has always been an utterly meaningless designation."
There, fixed it.

come join the fun and place your bets for how many patrons lloyd evans will lose for september 2023. .
this month, we start the count at today's tally, 487. we'll check his stats on september 4th (to allot for the weekend after the 1st) and see who gets the closest.
your prize is bragging rights for a full month!.
Put me down for 9. I hope it's 486.

article from the last days newsletter (june 5-11, 2023).
it has been said that by reading the watchtower and awake!
magazines, along with other publications of jehovah’s witnesses, a person will receive, over a period of years, a considerable and broad education.. …would you like to grow in knowledge, obtaining an education of even much greater value than can be received in any college?
WT said that reading the magazines is like getting a higher education.
WT discourages higher education.
WT all but eliminates the magazines, thus eliminating access to higher education.
Problem solved.

Wow, they are just watering it down to nothing.
Kinda like what's coming out tonight as I prep for my colonoscopy in the morning, watered down, no substance, kinda stinks, and is rather inconvenient to having any kind of life. LOL.

not sure if this is fake news or not..
That looks like the West Palm Assembly Hall...aka The Leaky Teepee. Went to an assembly there once.
She gets to have her cake (sports, wealth, non JW approved clothing and behavior) and eat it too (not be DF or shunned since not previously baptized).
Couldn't care less before, couldn't care less now.
