  I miss V/Watchtower Comments too.

  Has anyone ever seen TruthBookBlues videos on YouTube? They're hilarious.

  Yes, I think they are made by Wasanelder Once.

  What's in it for the Governing Body? How about this?

  on another forum, someone recently started a thread asking what sort of lifestyle the watchtower elite enjoy.

  it prompted me to do a little digging.

  when the leaflet 'dress and grooming for visitors touring bethel' was published a few years ago, i thought the room below looked familiar.

  It's worth visiting the blog to see more pictures; I'm not coomfortable with directly linking pictures with people in them.

When the leaflet 'Dress and Grooming for Visitors Touring Bethel' was published a few years ago, I thought the room below looked familiar. I remembered being blown away by the opulence of the Towers Hotel building where I was told a number of the Governing Body were living at the time of my visit. I don't know if the buidling has been sold as part of the org's plan to move out of Brooklyn but it was at that time occupied by more senior Bethelites.

  

  I found this blog and sure enough, there's the room I remembered.

  How much do you suppose it would cost to rent prime real estate like this?

  i am just curious to hear of some you who have left the org completely, how happy are you?

  in my situation i feel like i am on a precipice and about to make a leap into the unknown.

  since i have told my family elders and wife that i will mo longer go to the meetings or out on service i feel as if a load has been lifted.

  I felt elated and like a load had been lifted when I finally talked to my family about my feelings.

  I must warn you though that this trip is a rollercoaster. This is a cult after all, they don't let you leave just like that. My life is dreadful right now but at the end of the 'river of shit' I know I will come out clean.

  Don't know about the Nesbitt fellow

  The first time I've heard Rab C Nesbitt and Stephen Fry mentioned together.

  Putting aside whether Dawkins is right or not, perhaps it's the fact that he comes across as an smug, arrogant, pompous, condescending little asshole and is obviously very proud of it that offends many people.

  In other words, people just don't like him!

  I have to agree with this. I have tried to read his books but can't get over his tone. All the same, just because I don't like the man it doesn't mean he is wrong and I have come to the conclusion that he is right about evolution.

  Watchtower illegitimacy. Personally I think that bouncing straight out of the Watchtower and into another religion is like starting a relationship on the rebound. What's the rush?
