So much for putting their thrust in Jehovah.

Spanish JW's Upset Over Bethel Move
by Gary1914 inon april 1, 2009 a letter was sent from the governing body of jehovahs witnesses to congregations in spain informing them that the printing, shipping, and storage of watchtower publications would be discontinued at the madrid branch office.
the letter expressed confidence that the spanish witnesses would, despite the move, continue to generously support the world wide work and ends with an appeal to remain united under the direction of the witness leadership.. at a glance, this story may seem like a non-issue, perhaps, just another example of reorganization and consolidation within a multinational corporation; however, the dissolution of the printing branch has caused considerable hard feelings among some of jehovahs witnesses in spain.
to understand the reason we must first look at the history behind the branch office and external factors that some feel prompted this abrupt move.. early in their history, jehovahs witnesses began printing their trademark watchtower magazines and associated books and tracts in-house at their bethel headquarters in brooklyn, new york.

IF the Gibbering buddy said: "_" , would YOU--
by hamsterbait ini get so sick and tired of jws constantly questioning the source of information or the motives of the one providing it.. if satan said "2+2=4" would you then be stupid enough to say 'that cannot be true because the devil said it".
if the fds said "2+2 does not = 4" would you disagree with it??.
would you agree with it if they held a gun to your head and said "you will be killed if you dont agree??".

During our exit from the wt, we met with the elders a few times.
Once they were talking to my wife ,here at home, about the trinity and the nwt "imperfections" .
At one point one of the elders told her:
"Today the society tell us there's no trinity so there's no trinity. If in the future they tell us that there is a trinity than there is a trinity".
Mind control all right.

"Keeping the congregation clean"
by Chalam ini have just been reading another thread and thought about how importance the outward appearance is to jws.. however, god does not care for the exterior, he is concerned with what is at the core.
inner beauty is everasting.. 1 samuel 16:7 (new international version) .
7 but the lord said to samuel, "do not consider his appearance or his height, for i have rejected him.

"Keeping the congregation clean" is what they use when they WANT to get rid of someone.
If someone catches an elder doing something wrong and he speaks up, he's "trying to create division".
The elders have an agenda,keep the business running ,therefore they bend the rules depending on who's involved .

When is it time to say goodbye?
by PEC inour cat carmel has been sick for over a month.
she started puking every morning and about a week later, on barbara's birthday, she puked five time before 8:00 am.

PEC, our dog had something similar about 3 weeks ago.
We took her to the vet and she had pancreatitis and diabetes,the vet didn't know which was causing the other.
Sold us food cans and put her on insulin.
She's doing better,the pancreas at least,but she'll be on insulin for life now.
Did your vet mentioned anything about diabetes?

My experience with the Bethel Legal Dept. regarding a Ministerial Servant molesting a boy
by BonaFide inthe experience that follows contains some details that some might find graphic.
so be warned.. the body of elders received word that an unmarried ministerial servant, age 20, had been seen fondling a younger male bible student, age 14. the ministerial servant himself had been studying with the boy.
the ministerial servant was a quiet, timid brother.

In these situations you can really see the hypocrisy and double standards of the cult.
The wts has being throwing dirt at the whole world with their publications but,when it comes to them,they don't use the same measuring stick.
I'm referring to the elders being told to keep quite when the paticular question was asked.

Forget all of the stages: Denial, Anger, Sadness - Don't you sometimes just feel STUPID for having believed in the Organization?
by BonaFide ini know i have been through all those stages, i denied it, then i got angry, definitely sad.
months and months of this, and i still am in for my family and friends.. but sometimes i just feel stupid.
why did i ignore basic common sense for so long?
