she's made the right choice, she's clearly slightly confused but as the months/years pass by I'm sure she will be enjoying and living her life free from the nonsense that she's had to deal with for most of her life. -

Checking Up On Disfellowshipped Ones
by Boredposter inif my memory serves me right in the 80's there was an effort to call on those who were disfellowshipped.
elders would seek them out (or we're supposed to) to see if there was anything they could do to help them come back.
it seemed like a good idea at the time to me.

I dont think it ever got off the ground did it? I was never called on, but I was never officially informed that I was DA'ed

Faded for almost 10 years and still getting random calls
by ctrwtf inhi all, just wondering if anyone is in the same boat.
wifey and i dropped off the face of the jw planet almost a decade ago and still get 3 or 4 visits a year mostly when we are not dressed or expecting visitors.
it's really annoying because we are both wondering why they don't get the hint already.. we don't want to move because we really enjoy where we live and both have careers that keep us in the area.. i've asked politely that they stop calling but like the "godfather" they keep "pulling me in.".

The Governing Body Doing The Math As Corporate CEOs
by Brokeback Watchtower inlett announce to his braindead indoctrinated rank and file masses the wt corporation is short on funds and so they have money problems.
he made light of his role and the rest of management's predicament by saying on a public broadcast: "in doing the math we found that the amount of money flowing out will be much greater than the amount of money coming in at this time".
clearly the guys on the gb have very little business sense to let things get so out of hand with tons of projects in the works and having to close all of them except for warwick, and one in england.. i have to wonder just what type of math these dead heads on the gb even know or consider when making all their plans for the future of the corporation they have leadership over.

I wonder how much of the $2b in property sales from New York have they actually been able see as disposable cash? I wonder how much they have had to pay to plug the hole of their investment losses of the years? how much do they pay their fund managers? One thing is for sure their business model as a huge printing company must still haemorrhage money at eye watering amounts vast Bethel HQ's all over the world with huge printing and bookbindery installations and all the ancillary departments that are required must be close to obsolete now, the general public dont want their literature, WT and Awakes magazines only printed a few months a year and no hard bound books anymore, their recent austerity cuts clearly empathise that, and the remaining staff they employ at HQ's all around the still need feeding watering and medical care, the remaining Bethel HQ's around the world can only be used for one thing though; retirement homes, thats what Chelmsford seems to be for, more austerity to come but their golden goose is still laying though with the forced sells offs of KH's that will continue.

When did "The Last Days" of JW Organization Begin? Will This Generation See It End?
by steve2 ina growing discourse on this forum has been around what "the end" means.
as jws, many here spent varying proportions of our lives waiting for the end when an unsettling realization was that the end that approaches is more likely to be from old age than the world's end.
through the centuries, group after group, has claimed it has "inside" information on the end of the world, drawing in the desperate-for-comfort like moths to flames.

1995 and the overlapping generation was the real killer for them, a doctrine that lacked any sense or credibility, something a two bit magician whose act was exposed pulled out of thin air , the nail in their coffin, it has been stated here whose brainchild it was from the writing committee, could someone remind me please.
