I found the whole idea of the "quick build" not only cult like but staggeringly uncostaffective not to mention the dreadful workmanship that they all seemed to have suffered from, is there any quickbuild out there that never had rectifaction work done on it in the preeceeding months and years? One build I was on and I vowed never to go to another one after was showered with far too much labour with far too little to do, picture the scene, a brother stands there with a plank of wood , a sister stands there with a pencil, another brother stands there with a saw, brother puts the plank of wood on the floor , sister marks the wood with her pencil and brother saws the wood ! what an unbelivable waste of time and completly pointless and counterproductive and this goes on all day! our own cong had a referb not strictly a quickbuild exept in the last 2 weekends, the contractor was a JW company and the final job resulted in rectifcation work in which they charged for! a friend of mine who worked in the construction buissness said he could have completed the work quicker, cheaper and without the need for all the free labour and not have the need to repair the crap workmanship, dont get me started on the CA hall construction!

How successful we're quickly builds in your area
by joe134cd ini remember hearing about quickly builds how this was a sign of jehovah's spirit that the kh could be built in 3 days.
but what i am wondering is just how successful we're these builds.
i can think of a couple of halls that were built by the quickly built methods that i would suspect they would of lost money on.

destroyed mine although we never started too well, should never have got married in the first place, and 2 years into the marriage I started finding out TTATT, I quickly faded and making my feelings known to her and got the usual psychotic responses of fingers in the ears, screaming from the top over voice, violence, and after surviving a JC we seperated after 5 years, strangley she wanted me back and we would meet with me going over to her place and spending the night for a few months, I eventually met someone and gave her the "scriptual divorce" card, she since has remarried. In some ways I kind of felt sorry for her in the time when I had completly left anything to do with the cong, she strived to have a young elder husband that she could be proud of sadly I was never to be me, and I wished her no harm , I was gald to see the back of her but never showed any hatred towards her, I noticed how desperatly lonley she was in the cong week after week of study/FS/Meeting attendance etc.

Who Taught You The Truth(tm) OR Who Counted Time, On You?
by LoisLane looking for Superman inmy mom's lover would bring his handsome youngest son, to our house, and along with my dad, would study with my brother, sister and i. wed 7 pm.. next an elder's wife, who was a regular pioneer and worked part-time, who had a daughter my age, came to our house, after school wed. ruth was the head of the house and wore the pants.
her husband was part of the 3 men who sat on all judicial committees in our congo and would tell ruth everything, which in turn ruth would tell the sister's.
ruth was very pious but at the age of 15 gave birth to her only child, and beat on her daughter all the time, never letting her forget what "trouble" her only daughter caused her.

although I was born in I had a "walkabout" phase and it wasn't until I was about 20 that I started to show more interest in the so called "troof" a very good family friend and an elder in our cong got the job to study with me and set me up for baptism , the irony though was that this elder was the chairman on my JC about 5 years later!

Kate in the entire 12 pages of this thread it doesn't sound like you've paid any attention to any of the advice printed here, they are not the answer to your problems or issues, try and walk away from them if you can

Shocking story what you've told so far, sadly JW's make the very worst parents and your mom sounds like one of the very worst, your situation wasn't helped by your mom moving you into JW foster families, they really are the dregs of human society the utter dregs, been there with my sado masochistic father.
