back in 2001, i left the jws rather abruptly.
i had discovered things about the watchtower that really made me quite angry, angry because i had been lied to, and it took me just to darn long to figure it out.
before i had left, my husband and i wrote 3 letters, one to the elders at our congregation, and two to our parents.
They say that because they're fully indoctrinated, they drank the "mental koolaid" no matter how much new light and flip flops the borg puts out, they just eat it up without thought. Just like the folks who turn out for Trump's rallies, whatever he says, they just eat it up.
Like I said a few weeks ago here, if Trump and the Borg said that from now on 2+2=5, they would totally believe it.

Those facial expressions of his, just like when the weird brother in the KH has part on the Ministry School.
i foresee great a very tumultuous road ahead for our dearly beloved governing body, or god(guardians of doctrine).
they need a much more flexible approach to these problems, instead of being narrow mindedly ridged, which seems to be almost impossible for these hyper brain washed fools for corporate jehovah.. looks like am#3 will be the most inflexible since he and corporate jehovah seems to know what each other is thinking and feeling, iow am#3 really thinks he can read jehovah mind that why we affectionately call him tight pants tony, he's probably a closet gay that gets real excited by nice looking brothers in tight pants, and perhaps a camel toe or two has caught his gaze(must keep those things hidden).
i don't see him ever jumping ship he looks like he will ride the watchtower vessel to the bottom of the ocean.. will some future events lead to a big deflection in governing body loyalties?
As The Watchtower Corporation Faces One Crisis After Another, What Will The Governing Body Members Do?
Lie like they've always been doing that things are going according to plan and the end is just around the corner
i heard that jj abrams has finished the screenplay and they'll be starting to shoot the final episode soon.. so where will the story go?.
han solo is dead, snoke is dead, leia can only have a very limited role at best because carrie fisher unfortunately died .... plus, rey has already defeated the main villain once before, in her first lightsaber fight (in the force awakens, because 'ovaries!
', i guess xd).. and she saved his ass against snoke's elite guards (in the last jedi) - so it will be difficult to film any kind of dramatic tension between rey and kylo ren.. i won't be seeing this film in the cinema or buying it on dvd but i am kinda curious how things will pan out .... what do you think?.
For all the people on the planet who have never seen a Star Wars film (like myself) and don't plan to ever do so, who cares . . .
i have been reading where the watchtower is closing down kingdom halls.
there is something that i don't understand, or maybe i am just misunderstanding it.
can someone clear this up for me?
I am getting the impression that when a kingdom hall is sold off it is the Watchtower who profits from this
Why do you think some KHs are being sold? If the WT didn't get the money why would they care what happens to the property? Sounds like you forget the Borg is nothing but a Real Estate and Publishing company
he said they read the letter to the congregation and were told the kh would be disbanded.
2 other halls in the area were slated for closure.
he said many people in the congregation began crying.
The work is speeding up.
Ha ha ha ha ha , good one Gorby
just thought i'd relate this story for any lurkers out there.. here in the north west of england there's an elder called george ashton.
the ashton's are a big family, most of the men are appointed as elders or at least min servants.
george owns a used car dealership and almost all jws in liverpool looking for a car have heard of him.
I think used car salesman is the most perfect job a JW could ever have, sell the BS on their job, then again on the weekends when they knock on your door
it is based on gorbatsjov's good topic, but we all must have had nice, pleasant, romantic moments in our congregations.. i was always a dedicated boy, baptized at 14. we had our bookstudy at 8:00 pm and before that our fieldservice at 7:00 pm .
most of times, as a 14-16 years old boy i was the only one there with our conductor.
he was from aruba, immigrated to our cold and wet european country.
redvip2000 - you ask why I looked forward to the food at the assemblies. I don't know what part of the country you're in, but here in NYC we have the Bliss Theatre used for Circuit Assemblies, the food there was the best, they had the best hamburgers, pastrami sandwiches, cheesecake, soft ice cream, ice cream floats and those are just my favorites. The food at the District Assemblies wasn't that great, but the Circuit Assemblies when I was growing up was great ! Even before the bought the Bliss we used to meet around the corner at the place in Sunnyside Gardens where they used to have boxing matches, I remember the meatball heroes there and not much else, but when they bought the Bliss THeatre they stepped up there food game !
Sorry the food at your assemblies sucked.

when g. was a litle kid, remembering the watchtower study at age 9, hearing all the stuff, the paragraph, the questions, the answers, about topics i could not understand, so it became so abstract that it was not entering my ears and brains.
it felt that i was no part of the group, someone alone on a distant planet.. do you remember this feeling?.

Like the time I was about 5 or 6 asking, "Mom, what is heavy petting?"
Heavy petting? HA ! The Sunday Washtowel mtg back in the early 70's one Sunday was about oral sex, first time I ever heard of it. I remember I was in JHS, me and my friend sitting next to each other giggling and carrying on. What about the kids that were much younger,I wonder later on that evening at Dinner did they discuss what they learned at the mtg that afternoon. Interesting how Dub parents always try to keep their kids from hearing about sex on the radio and TV, but at the mtg they have no problem with it, which makes no sense at all
