Young JW's with crazy abusive parents: You are not alone. Here's a crazy story from my past.

by cappytan in

first off, if you are in an abusive household and don't have the means to leave, you need to get help immediately.

contact the police.

they have resources to help you, especially if you have proof.

Not that easy... If they are underage, the first the DCF wants to do is remedy the situation unless there is strong proof that abuse is taking place.

Meanwhile, DCF comes to your home, the parents put on this great act, and is there when the kids are spoken to by the DCF people.

If kids take the initiative, there could be serious consequences by the parents after DCF comes out and they put on their dog and pony show...

In my opinion, there's a big difference if you are over the age of 18. Kids younger, unfortunately, don't have the same rights... :(

God, I hope I'm wrong. I wish for anything that I'm wrong. Please correct me if I am, so these kids can more easily speak out without severe consequences...

Mobile Hotspot - JWFACTS.COM - Assembly & Conventions

by thedepressedsoul in

here is an idea i tested.

works at both assemblies and conventions.

i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.

Doubting - I'm not sure. Don't they pay for Health Insurance? I would think that would at least double the cost for them.

After doing the math, Calebs might be right. If they spend a total of $1300 on average each month for each special pioneer, then:

$1300 x 12 (months) x 1600 (SP's) = 24,960,000 per year

Calebs - How did you come up with the $25,000,000 figure?

Asking For More Money Again

by rosesinbloom in

we had another letter read this week from the 'slave' that asked for more money again.. it asked for a resolution to be passed by all congregations in support of the circuit overseer to pay their expenses and medical expense was included in there.. a resolution was put on the floor and voted upon and agreed by show of hands that our congregation would send over $2,000 for the year 2016.. the society broke it down to how much it would be per year for each publisher but i do not remember what they suggested.. i was glad i was listening in and not present this week because it would have been obvious i did not support the resolution because my hand would not have been up when the attendance took a count.. has anyone here also had the letter read at their service meeting this week?.

To bad these dipsh*ts make such a big deal about getting a college education. Maybe there would be more donations if the JWs had two dimes to rub together.

That rule is really biting them in the a**...
