just got off the phone with a friend of mine from brooklyn and he shared this little tid bit with me.
ciro alicino's (spelling) congregation is being disolved in the next few weeks.
it seems that soon, yes really, really soon there will be no prospect congregation in brooklyn.
For those of you unfamiliar with the UN-DPI NGO flap, Ciro is one of two people who helped apply for the Watchtowers membership.
I speculate that the first words out of a savvy WTBTS Corporate supporter (current Jehovah’s Witness) mouth when approached about the ‘UN-DPI Ngo flap’ from now on will be, “…how’s it possible a so-called Ciro Aliciano’s (spelling) congregation had anything to do with the UN, when such a congregation doesn’t exist?

this article from the lexington herald leader via the associated press further demonstrates the poopy pants currently being worn by the pompous asses at the watch tower.
my wife, bobsgirl aka tema smith bosken roared.
posted on sat, may.
"I'm quite perplexed," Bowen said. "They gave me the time, the address and the location in writing. There was no misunderstanding on my part where I wassupposed to be."
I would like to think that the elders involved, ‘headed for the hills’ in this case.
However, the WTBTS, apparently, has more Corporate mobility due to less public scrutiny than the RCC and is intelligent enough not to make another martyr…at least during this particular time.

This place is FULL OF APOSTATES!!!!!
It's a, '...the glass half full or half empty' kind of observation.
Mostly, I've thought of this place LACKING RELIGIOUS FANATICS , although not entirely.

my jw wife wants me to tape dateline for her and she thinks it's all her idea!.
wow i cant believe it.
i told my dyed-in-the-wool dub wife that there was an elder, the congregation po in another state, that stood up for the right thing and resigned over a child being molested, and that the story will be covered on dateline.
I remember CBC’s ‘RoughCuts’ program well, mouthy and regret not taping it.
I agree many may be building up the program and expecting it to be more damaging than it might actually turn out to be because it’s usually outsiders who’ve had limited exposure to this particular brand of cult behavior that produce this information and tend to ignore important nuances.
Besides it wouldn’t be very difficult for the local elders to have the rank and file kept busy while Dateline is being aired.
I still think the CBC producers got it mostly right, although I’m sure it went over the heads of everyone not familiar with Jehovah’s Witnesses.
I’ll never forget the closing comments at the end of the CBC program, “…in spite of what is written on the signs at the entrance to every Kingdom Hall…not everyone, is actually welcome .”
By the way mouthy, and forgive for being so bold, were you actually featured in some way during the CBC program? Would you happen to have been the one on the phone to her JW father only to be shunned by him?

i was reading some news reports on yahoo about suicide bombings likely to happen here in the us.
what irks me the most are statements made about the justice departments inability to track visas issued to foreign students.

Canada a nice place to visit. Wouldn't want to pay taxes there.
Hey Baj’, that’s the price we pay to allow some place for American conscientious objectors to flee to.
Not including Washington D.C., I was under the impression Puerto Rico was the 51st State…I stand corrected.

My advise is move north about 26 miles, they like your type in the Socalist Republic of Canada.
Actually, the myth American ignoramuses find so abhorrent (Socalist (sic) Republic of Canada) is probably the only political mechanism that keeps us (Canada), a 'country' who’s population is equivalent to California's from being absorbed into the Union as their 52nd State...at least officially.

last night my sister-in-law asked my kids why they haven't been attending meetings.
she cornered them individually.
she asked my son and he said no he has not been attending meetings and that he has been doing some research and that he didn't believe it was the truth.

Sorry to have heard this has happened to you and your family but think of it this way lv4fer…one less dysfunctional religious fanatic around to mess with your kids ‘heads’.

i have not been on the site for awhile.
i have been really busy with school and work.
but now things are calmed down a bit, and i am back... so hi again to everyone i missed, and also to anyone new.
You may be correct DIM, I should have put 'you' in quotations.
Although I focused on CG’s comments directly and used them as an example, I believed CG’s was of sufficient maturity and intelligence to understand my intent was to underscore that the perceived lack of daring and subdued behavior, especially when confronting corporate hierarchy actually benefits unscrupulous manipulators within that or any hierarchy.
It appears from CG’s previous balanced response to my comments that CG is well equipped in spite of any situation to stand by her observations and fight her own battles when she so chooses.
However, if I’m mistaken as to the level of CG’s maturity and intelligence, or mine for that matter, please accept my apology.

That would be such fun, but I am not that daring, so I have to be subdued...
Most likely the reason the WTBTS likes you as a Jehovah's Witness,in other words, reliable cash paying consumer of WTBTS Corporate publications and unpaid promoter of same.
