  You just gotta read the story, Fade From the Truth, A Tale of Learning Then Unlearning the Beliefs of JWs

  every once in a while there's a story so well told that it deserves lots and lots of kudos and plugs.

  here's that 124-book length story which is the first one linked from "exclusive autobiographies" on the home page of www.watchtowerdocuments.com.

  read it free!.

  Verifiable Former Bethelite Willing to Answer questions

  by Uzzah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am a former active poster here, former elder, former bethelite and pretty much known by people on the xjw boards since the mid 90's.

  gawd that makes me sound old.. i notice that a great deal of uproar is being made by allegations of a hide in the closet alleged bethelite.

  to counter the damage caused by this claim, i am happy to address any questions people may have about bethel, protocol, etc.. i was at the canada branch for 11 years, worked in multiple areas including the legal department, service desk and writing dept.

  I remember the 1st time I looked at this bored, said I'd never be back. Hands shaking, faith weakening. Here I am 3 years later. Hope you come back too. I love bethelite posts. And thanks for yours and the addition to info. Interesting.

  Take it easy bro. (I'm still active, so I can call you bro.)

  Witnesses involved in Multi Level Marketing

  i just ran across an old aquaintance who is a former missionary (along with his wife) - although i think they just went to serve in s.america on their own, not gilead endorsed.

  they live in the las vegas area now, and are promoting a new mlm company called 'kaching kaching' (look for it on youtube, pretty cheesy) wactching them on these videos saying things like "do you want a piece of the multi billion dollar pie???

  " just blows me away.. i can't help but wonder if they are even still active.

  Mr Mustard, Thanks for the offer....I'll probably just drop it. Anything sent to the Kaching contact link would not be seen by them anyway. They don't own the site, from what it seems they are just senior kaching store operators that have people under them, coincidentally in the shape od a pyramid. lol.

  If they were faders, I would say go for it do what ever floats your pyramid. But the fact that he's an elder irritates me for some reason.

  Mustard, yes...I am still mischievously thinking of that. I did find out through a mutual friend that they are still JWs...

  Maybe they are somewhat inactive and just doing there thing (if that's the case, good for them) or they are in a very liberal hall in Vegas.

  I don't mean to slam MLM maybe it works for some. I just don't have or have never understood the salesman mentality, so when I see people 'doing their thing' saying things like "the billion dollar pie" and "the sweet sound of money...kaching, kaching" It just makes me laugh.

  What they are promoting is just so contrary to JW dogma about greed and the love of money...I am just still ..surprised that it is the same couple I met long ago when they were pioneers.

  but hey, people change...look at me posting here. 10 years ago I thought I'd be an elder at this point in my life. lol.

  I hope they are happy doing their thing! Sounds like they are millionares now. heck I'd be happy!

  Black Sheep, Thanks for pointing that out...I was a bit hasty while I was composing that post and didn't read it close enough.

  So yes,..... "If you phone Bethel, make sure you ask the right question and don't risk making an ass of yourself." :-)

  Quick Question RE: KM Elders School

  by tresdecu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was there any specific 'new' direction given regarding faders...or long time inactive ones?.

  also, how long is the school, i thought it was just a weekend.

  but it seems that an elder friend of mine just recently took the whole week off from his job to attend.
