  Lloyd Evans Patreoff Pool March 2024

  for those still interested in lloyd's fall from grace, i made up a chart of my own.

  april 2023 is when he put out his "things are bad" tin cup begging video, and he got a small surge to 592 on the 13th of that month.

  i'm also using his all-time peak of 897 from november 2022.. for march, we're gonna say a modest -15, putting him at 352. i'm also curious as to when he might hit 300 and then 200. if he keeps up with an average of -20 every month, he'll be at less than 190 before the end of this year.. happy guessing everyone..

  Hotels for convention

  by ElderBerry in

  a department in bethel wants to try to make money from regional conventions by asking local hotels if they will give a special rate and a coupon code to give to jws.. .

  they should just keep it simple and not be greedy for dishonest gain.. .

  this year some convention sites the hotels said no thank you i think the jws are going to book with us anyway.

  In the mid 90s I ran a bus tour to Brooklyn Bethel, Stanley Theater, WT Farms, quick peek at Paterson, then quick stop at Niagra Falls, Canada, finally Toronto Bethel.

  I remember, pre internet I used the recommended WT Tour hotel list. I got 1 free room night for every 15 room nights booked, plus a free room for the bus driver. Seems common to offer this to tour operators.

  I used a couple free rooms for my mom and I, plus another friend who worked to organize it. My trip was free. I only charged $200 per person for the trip, hotel and bus (4 to a room), $300 pp for 2 to a room. Breakfast included. Everything else on you.

  I spread some savings from the freebies to lower the cost so some who couldn't normally afford it could. I didn't lose money.

  I do realize now how little we got to see in Niagra Falls on the tour compared to last year when our family went for 3 days. So glad I'm out of the cult, but I do have some good memories of the tour.

  BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?

  by Black Man in

  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.

  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.

  Thought on “0 hours” reporting

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  An analysis of the recent 153rd Gilead Graduation talk by Jesse Morris (member of the US Branch Committee and son of Anthony Morris III)

  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.
