Sounds like a case where a good worker got promoted. Just because someone is a productive staff member doesn't mean that they're management material... regardless of religion.

I had a funny feeling he was a Witness... and now I need help.
by noontide inim in a bit of a bind and im not quite sure what (if anything) i can do about it.
i was recently hired as a business consultant for a rather large company.
the company that hired me mentioned that they are concerned about a certain department and the way its being run, as this department affects every other department in the company.

MTS & Gilead: Can we talk about how much of a FAILURE these 2 schools were/are?
by Black Man ini know quite a few from both of these schools who basically crashed and burned once they got into their assignments.
graduates of these schools would be thrown into foreign territorities or remote areas without a good visible means of support and would get emotionally, mentally, financially burned out.
post your experiences or of those you know that went to these pitiful excuses for educational institutions..

I got to know a bunch that had attended Gilead and stayed in assignments for various amounts of time. Some didn't last long, some did. All of them had some kind of terrible/bizarre experiences that would never be published.
I didn't know as many MTS. The ones I did get to know had been sent to terrible locations with troubled congregations.
I heard enough to realize that I never, ever wanted to go to either school.

I enjoy it. Some of it is rather slow-moving, but I think it keeps the information from being over-whelming or overly-technical.
One hour of the show is time better spent than a month in a Kingdumb Hell.

I wasn't able to convince my siblings to join the forum, so I don't know if I can convice Mrs. OT.
I'll just say that joining the forum would have helped them recover more quickly and completely from the damage that WT inflicted.

I would have photoshopped Tony da Turd's face on the screen, but looking at any GB face makes me wanna puke.

"The branch office immediately formed a disaster relief committee that is providing assistance to the victims."
Since when does there need to be a committee to tell people "keep warm and well-fed"? This is an organization that discourages the membership from becoming doctors and engineers. Their idea of "disaster relief" is to tell the victims to go out and preach more to recruit others into the JW cult.

Feeling disloyal
by stirred but not shaken ini've been visiting here for about a year or so, but didn't really feel compelled to participate other than reading the various posts that interested me.. there's been that uncomfortable feeling of being disloyal to god, the organization, many friends and relatives.. i've been associated since birth.
after 65 + years of service within this organization and actually enjoying that time, it troubled me to find myself wanting to express feelings that were contrary to all that time of "faithfulness".
those years were filled with progressive "privileges and responsibilities" even at a high level, and there was considerable success in our evangelizing activity.

SBNS: "There's been that uncomfortable feeling of being disloyal to God, the organization, many friends and relatives."
You have a conscience. WT and the GB has no conscience. They are completely disloyal to you. The lie to you. When time proves their prophecies to be false, the come up with a fresh layer of lies. Do they feel that they have been disloyal to God and to YOU by force feeding false prophecies to millions of followers? Nope! They sincerely believe that their lies were for your good, that they've done everyone a favor by their falsehood. They have been disloyal to you.

It's all about the numbers.
So what if they're left in a door and blow away like every other piece of litter? At least it's WT litter that deserves to be counted as praise to Jehovah's appointed GB.

Yet another "Much ado about nothing" WT program.
Typically, such special events are in large venues with sheeples able to visit with friends they don't see often. (And a chance to go out to a nice restaurant afterward.) But when it's just at a KH, what's the big deal? It becomes just another snorefest that is a hassle and expense to setup and doesn't measure up to expectations... yet everybody has to say how wonderful and exciting it was.
The longer I'm away from all that crap, the happier I am.

Jesus' 100th Anniversary of Kingdom Rulership - ONLY 150 DAYS REMAINING
by Calebs Airplane indear anthony morris the turd.
october 2, 2014 is only 150 days from now.... what bull sh*t are you cooking up to mitigate the expected fallout?.
you might consider shedding "nu-lite" on this continuously recycled quote.... on friday morning, october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, who took the lead at that time among the bible students, strode into the dining room at bethel in brooklyn, new york.

Here's how...
