Tell your friend he should be prepared to say goodbye to two women. The one he's married to and the sister that's chasing him. Once he leaves his wife, the chase, excitement and drama will be gone for the sister and she will not think he's as exciting or dangerous. She'll leave him and he'll be alone. How do I know? It happened to me.

Assembly Hall shakedown - Columbia SC
by sir82 infrom someone who attended:.
there was a big elders meeting in columbia sc on saturday june 9.. around 240 congregations, 2000+ elders.. the society wants to build a brand new assembly hall in columbia, sc, to handle the huge influx of jws moving to the us southeast from up north.. they expect to have it done in 34 months (finished by april 2010).
total cost estimated to be approximately $8 - 9 million.. they want to have the whole thing paid for by the time the building is done - no long term loans.. they "strongly suggested" that each of the 240 congregations commit to supporting "their share" of the expense.

How can the WBTS blatantly and arrogantly insult their members like that and expect them to continue to do their bidding? Also, if the end is so near, then why wouldn't they just take out long term loans? They must know that they'd never have to pay them off.

What do you expect in a good old boys club? Do you think they are going to police themselves? From what I've seen and heard, they just help each other cover up their crimes.

I got a chill down my spine when I read this. I thought it was my friend that got killed. She has told me for the over a year that her husband is a psychopath and has abused her for most of their marriage. He has told her stories about how women go missing and die all the time. They are both Jehovah Witnesses in their late 30's. She tried to leave him but he told her he would kidnap their child and leave town with him if she left him. If anything ever happened to her I will go to the police and tell them all about him and his behavior. I know if anything ever happened to her, it would be because of him.

Dating a JW and need some help
by Whizkid ini've been 'going out' with a beautiful girl and we have a great time together.
we have a lot of similar interests and always have stuff to talk/do.
the problem is that she's a jw, and i know there is no way i'm going to become a jw.

If you love her and want to be with her, then tell her.
If you are not sure about your intentions, then you would be doing her a favor by leaving her alone. If you intend on marrying her, taking care of her or sharing your life with her, then you have to tell her you will be there for her.
If she leaves her religion, then her family, friends and everything she knows will turn their backs on her. She will need you more than ever, because her entire JW world will come to a halt. They will shun her and she will need a lot of love to get through that trauma.
I know from my experience which is very similar to yours.
I didn't convey my feelings enough to the woman I was involved with and it pushed her away and created a gap between us that couldn't be repaired. At the time, I didn't realize how different she was from any other woman I had been involved with. The difference centered around her religious beliefs. Looking back I remember how she told me a couple of times that if she decided to be with me it would be "a decision that would shake the foundation of her existence" At the time, I didn't realize how much weight those words carried and how serious it was for her.
I wish you the best. Everyone deserves love. I hope you find yours. -

"This system just cannot get any worse"
by JimmyPage inthat's what my dad has said at various times over many years.
i think it helps encourage him that the end must be very near and the paradise will be here soon.
my thought has always been "oh yes it can get a lot worse.

Do you suppose there would be mass suicides from devout JWs who can't function without the Watchtower controlling them?I hope that nothing like that ever happens. I know a couple of people who are caught up in this cult and I would be devastated if they killed themselves. I don't know what is worse, standing by and watching someone destroy themselves or watching an organization destroy them. The whole experience of crossing paths with, meeting, and getting to know these people has saddened me greatly.

Orange is for the fresh meat. I've earned a trustee position in here. (That's how I get to use the computer so much) I wear powder blue jumpers, just like Elvis on his tour in '72. I didn't kill anybody, just some white collar stuff. Ooops, I was supposed to say "I didn't do it" just like the rest of the guys. I'm innocent. Yeah, that's it, innocent.

Ok, a couple of things about that three part video. First, that was the greatest video I ever saw. It was real. It was the truth. Second, you have to get a wide angle lens for your camera. Borrow the money if you have to, just do it. Or a micro camera you could wear in a hat or glasses. Good job maintaining the audio levels, you captured the sound great, clear and audible. Good job. Third, I've never been a JW or to any of those meetings, but it looks like they would turn Jesus himself away, if he showed up with long hair, beard, and without a tie and jacket.
