had a couple of witnesses stop by yesterday to say the usual "we miss you, missed you at the meeting, just checking in on you, etc.
" i've always liked this guy so we spoke for a few minutes.
my wife said that they could count their time since i am inactive.
I remember this being a thing when I was an MS .
I always like to point out to my wife that "the friends" ONLY ever stop by with the "We miss you" BS...WHILE they're 'on the clock'
I ask her "when was the last time one of your old friends, or elder buddy stopped by on there own time, or called"
granted, I don't want them too...but 99% of the time, they're doing it while out in service. We're an easy stop before or after the 11am starbucks break. LOL
i know some has been posted about leah remini and her split from scientology.
i just wanted to add after finishing it last night, it is a must watch for questioning jws...every episode has familiar situations and parallels that will make jws really think (or squirm).
watch it with someone you want to wake up!!!!
Here is the A & E (cable TV station in US) link:
http://www.aetv.com/shows/leah-remini-scientology-and-the-aftermath
It probably will not work outside of US. It may also require you to enter you cable carrier info to make sure you're authorized to view, I don't know.
I imagine it will be available on other services in the near future (Hulu, Netflix etc.)
Thanks for your input on this thread. I wonder if she had any idea she'd be helping people other people in cults...JW, Mormon, etc.

Watch it with someone you want to wake up!!!! It will definitely help. My wife who is inactive but still is torn and believes (elder dad, pioneer mom) was anxious to watch it every week. She made comments about the similarities. If you watch with a fully "in" JW, it will make them a little uncomfortable for sure.
maybe this was posted before on jwd, but i just came across it.
it will make you mad, but hopefully more awareness will make people see this religion as the dangerous cult that it is:.

are there current elders schools happening around the country or are they at the point of requiring elders to go back to mecca (aka new york)?.
and a more specific question: is it possible there is a school this next week in the seattle area?
(just curious, it has to do with one of my in laws who's an elder out there).
Thanks for your answers....I also got conformation from a friend who lives out in WA that they are having 1 at the assembly hall that's south of seattle.
wonder whats on the agenda

this is just a first step clapping.
it's like the fed one quarter bases point at a time.
I bought mine for 250 US, It's an HP 14" screen. If it's for surfing online, watching movies (netflix etc) it's great. Does not lock up, (ok, maybe once or twice a month) boots up within 10 seconds. light and quiet. I love mine.
i feel it is comfortable to say,.
yes her arc hearing has come and gone.. yes her hearing was so powerful, her allotted time was tripled!.
yes, information handed over "mind blowing" response from arc.
well, sounds very interesting. I am not familiar with umbertoecho or his/her story. Guess I'll have to do some 'search box' research tomorrow morning so I can understand this a bit better.
I do like this sentence though: "The wbts in Australia are shitting themselves." :-)
i'd like to start off by saying that i will be very vague in everything i say.
i am fairly "high up" in jw land and have to be somewhat careful how i word and say stuff.
sorry in advance if any specific details are left out.
thedepressedsoul.....thank-you for the contribution! Welcome to the board, looking forward to more.
I don't really understand why some are being a little negative to you for the content of your post, If those people know all this stuff already why don't they move on instead of blasting / interrogating a new member with a contribution.
As I said, I appreciate your post, and just know it helps a lot of lurkers who maybe don't have the time / ability to pour over every thread...yours is a great summary of what's happening !!
Thank-you..........hope to hear from you soon with some more good stuff!
TD
