i have had some contact with jws inside the organization who said that the society is planning to move its headquarters from brooklyn, ny to canada, lock, stock, and barrel.

is this an urban legend, a jw pulling my leg, or is it factual?

Hope4Others

It would be a cost to Canada.....they automatically get free health care if they start moving people up here...and a more burden on the system

Here at Wallkill and the Global Printery’s are going to Double Shift
work. (No brothers or sister working with the new “work arrangement”
will have to miss meetings)

this was from blondies link......why it it they always use this line when all they really want to do is cut costs....

terrorist cells in the KH (jw e-mail)

"terrorist cells in the kingdom hall".

latest news reports are that five terrorist cell groups have been operating .

in many of our halls.

looking back over the last few weeks, i think i've been unnessarily rude to some posters and i just want to apologize to anyone who has been on the receiving end of my anger recently.. i believe that i'm so angry, dismayed, devastated and heartbroken over what's happening to my brother in law, that i've been taking it out on others and that's not right.

it makes absolutely no difference what i think of the wts as a whole, or whether or not americans have a universal healthcare system......none of that makes any difference whatsoever when someone you love and has been like your brother for 35 years is dying and there's not a fucking thing we can do about it.. my sister just called me and there's more bad news, and that's that his disease has now progressed into the acute myeloid leukemia which means he cannot start the therapy they were going to give him, as this is far more serious now.

they want to start chemo right away, but his blood counts aren't up high enough for him to survive.

Awww Mary I'm so sorry this has happened....your sister will really need you now...

(((((Hugs))))))

your the best!

JW Defenders- Is WTS Right to Insist You Stay Away From these Websites?

by OnTheWayOut in

i read these threads and there are a few that bend over backwards to say why wts is correct on this issue or that issue.. they act like typical jw's that refuse to acknowledge points that may show that wts is not following the scriptures or that wts goes beyond the scriptures in a way that is not supported by others.. the point could be the blood issue or shunning or whether 1799 or 1914 was the start (or finish?

) of the last days or whether there is a faithful and discreet slave class or not.

i don't want to harp on each point.

Well guys sorry to burst your bubble but someone I personally know did ask her to come back....

"Remember, nobody can REALLY love you unless they know and love Jehovah first."

by AllTimeJeff in

"unless they know and love jehovah first.

they love "jehovah".

they discuss how to make sure that though they are in charge, everyone doesn't see them, they see the great and powerful jehovah.... oh.

And if you are a JW lurking on the internet and reading this, (in disobedience to the 9 men in charge at Brooklyn), you must say sometimes (as I used to) "Jehovah's Witnesses aren't all that bad. Yeah, I don't agree with everything (not that I am ever going to let that be known), but they aren't evil. I have friends. I am not bad.... So why do former Jehovah's Witnesses make such a big deal? Why can't they leave and just leave us alone?"

Do you realize how many people say those words, interesting I have heard this from my own mother and mother-inlaw and they consider themselves to be spiritually strong...

"Remember, nobody can REALLY love you unless they know and love Jehovah first."

"There are no friends, no people that you can love or trust, unless they serve and follow OUR god." And so millions of JW's this year will watch a play designed to indoctrinate this idea into their followers once again....

What I'm thinking here is quite a number of years ago, the cong's got on the kick about helping your neighbors, being friendly doing things for them, perhaps taking a meal when they are sick or shoveling the snow etc...I feel a lot developed friendships this way they realized these people were not all bad and even if they did not convert them the friendships have continued.....this is a big worry to the GB.

Those articles are fairly recent also, which really shows how much they are indoctrinating and continue to push and push these thoughts to keep people in fear that it is only through them you gain any kind of life....

You don't need to think for your self God has provided that for you....We need to think for ourselves, research, research, research.

Excellent thread Jeff....

just wanted to say hello to all here.

i really don't have much of a story to tell about myself.

just find myself at a crossroads of sorts and wondering if i should stay or move on, although the greater part is telling me to move on.. long story short, i have been a baptised jw for 14 years.

Welcome girlie.....
