after noticing reniaa use that expression to give a "reason" why she was hijacking a thread, i thought about about people who use "i'm sorry, but...".. "but" what, reniaa, et.

it dawned on me (yeah.

i'm a little slow at times) that this is much more than just a lame excuse.

i know this has been re-hashed many times here.

in great detail with quotes from former watchtower articles, etc.

i'm going to cut to the chase and just make this brief and direct.

Flip,

I've said it before, but this was the straw that broke the camels back for me.

Three different meanings in 15 years?

All you need is common sense to realize that this is an F'd up religion.

IF it is NOT wise for a man to be ALONE with a woman he's NOT married to

by Spike Tassel in

sola scriptura answered andersonsinfo:.

the wt leadership has hammered into all of it's elders and rank & file's heads, that it is not wise for a man to be alone with a woman he is not married too (adult or young woman... ie 14).

even in congregation sanctioned duties.. so, why, then, do so many service pairings involve just that: a brother alone in the territory (even if it's to make a call) with a sister he's not married to?.

'Cause it's all a fairy tail Spike.

But the line of thinking you have displayed is encouraging.

Brojo,

I can think of a few halls in CT, doubles and triples, where relatively large mortgages were underwritten by the WBTS. The WBT$ referred to them as "low interest" loans.

It really felt like double dipping on donations from the flock.

One double KH in central couldn't afford the mortgage. They actually had other nearby congregations helping to pay the mortgage.

I never understood why the WBT$ couldn't just modify the loan, either extending it or cutting the principal. Now I do. They just guilt everyone into giving more.

I look forward to your post.

A question for the faders on here

by JWinprotest in

the other day our meeting was cancelled and we didn't even get a call from the elders to advise us.

i take that as a sign that our fade is working.

the next step i would like to implement is not turning in a field service report.

My phone call was EXACTLY what shamus just posted.

I had butterfly's in my stomach as I did this before I stopped going to meetings.

When I hung up the phone it was orgasmic relief!

Helps to not go to the meetings after that. They won't be able to schedule anything with you.

When they call, say you are doing great.

When they ask where you have been, say busy.

I love screwing with their heads because I know their game and they are slow to mine.
