  has anybody ever written bethel and just flat out asked for an accounting report on the society's finances?

  we all keep batting around speculation about the wtbs and money, and actual information seems non-existent.

  what would they do if somebody asked for a financial statement?

  i heard form a reliable source that a kingdom hall consolidation is going to be happening in the us.

  currently they are looking at every kingdom hall to see if they could and should sell it.

  any kingdom hall that has not been updated and is in a bad location (long driveway, not in a visible location etc...) will be sold.

  Broken - as for the blood, there is no reason to not be able to have a transfusion. That's the issue here.

  Level - thanks. It was such a scary time for me.

  Torn - it's a little weird to look back and read. My husband is still in. It's been a long road for the both of us...

  Holy sh*t, Brandnew. I'd think with his medical records you could fight it?

  Holy crap is that bad...

  Does it ever just hit you...It all may be a dream

  that the paradise may or may not be real?

  that the things you have been taught for many years from the jehovah's witnesses may not really be as they say?

  has it really ever really hit you with that "pow" of reality ever?

  When I was young, I thought my life wasn't actually my life and it was actually a dream...

  Maybe it could be real, maybe they are right. I would rather be dead.

  I have access to that info, so I wouldn't need to. It's exists, but, privacy laws prevent me from exposing it, so, I can't/won't.

  Are you ready for it?

  Honestly, don't think I could ever fully be ready. But, the pain is sometimes more then I can handle....
