Elder quits meetings
by buffalosrfree ini received good news from my daughter, it was amazing to her, but she informed me that she met an old friend from a congregations we attended 10 years ago, and the upshot was that the friends partents no longer attended meetings.
he her dad had been an elder the last i talked with him, he had left the congregation we were in due to the attitude of other elders there, went to a new congregation and the last i heard was very happy there.
we had had conversations about various aspects of the supposed truth and he always tried to counsel me about the troooth as spouted by the pharasies then.

Mouthy,
I'm not going to chuck rocks at anybody! You have a belief, fair enough. I can understand it, and I am VERY happy not to be knocking on doors! But just as you hope that these people find God, Jesus etc, I hope they are happy whatever they do, just so long as people don't push their opinion of something which can or cannot be true onto other people.

WTBTS money making for who?
by awol inthere is a lot of talk on here about the wtbts a money making organisation.. maybe, but who is this money going to?.
like a friend "in the truth" lol said, it's all put back into the work.
and who would want to be a missionary, they don't get any money out of the society etc etc.. so who reap the rewards here then?

Two words: Money and power
In Ray Franz Crises book, he explains how the Governing Body live like Kings. They never have to pay for anything. They get treated like Kings wherever they go. Ray even shows a picture of his lavish room at Bethel. And who could forget how Rutherford lived during the great depression?

Isaac,
Imagine how I felt when a 'born again' believer threatened me with 'If you are right, and I am wrong, then thats ok, I dont lose anything. But if I am right, and you are wrong, then you are going to hell and I am getting eternal life'
Sickening, smarmy Born Again mentality.

I think one of the Bible Student's sites has a forum, perhaps you could ask there also. I know Randy at Freeminds creates re-prints.

Check out the Bible students site if you haven't already, you can download old Russell books there.
I once started a collection, but I sold some old Rutherford books for vastly inflated prices.

17 Year Olds
by lonelysheep inyou 'kids' are strong, strong people.
i'm not just referring to those of you who are 17 now, but those who left or simply woke up from the wt garbage at such a young age and are now adults.. from what i've seen here over the last 2+ years, it seems to me like jw's treat their children like they are foster kids.
some foster kids (& some adopted kids) i knew throughout school were kicked out or left home around the ages of 16-17, and were put into independent living programs by the age of 18. their parents wanted nothing to do with them afterwards.

I agree. I left at 20, but since about 18 I read lots of anti-WT stuff online. To leave so young takes one hell of a strong mind.

Does anybody know about the dangers of fluoride? I heard that fluoride was bad for you, although maybe I misheard.
