Abuse of Authority and Tax Exemptions in the WT Organization
by OnTheWayOut ini will relay this as hearsay as i was not personally involved, but perhaps some of you can personally attest to such abuses for the apologists out there.. even this "hearsay" was verified by another person who was involved to some extent.. this spanish former elder told a two-fold story about abuse of authority and abuse of the tax exemption that wts has.. tax exemption- his story was about how, in the building of an assembly hall in illinois, the people in charge of various portions of the project bought materials and automobiles with the tax exemption number given to them.
among their materials and automobiles were materials and automobiles for their home and personal use.
he then went on to describe the situation a double kingdom hall with six spanish congregations found itself in.

This joke may not be the best, but it was told one night to me by one of the Beatles on the way to dinner:
"Why dont Italians like Jehovahs Witnesses? - Italians dont like any witnesess......"
There were 3 others with us that night, 2 of whom were Italian and one of them knew I was a JW! I laughed loudest......

Feel like I am going to explode
by mamalove intoo much reading this weekend i think..... my blood is boiling between the two books.
the mental part is disturbing me greatly about the truths in brainwashing and cultism, and coc is infuriating me about the whole attitude of the jw org.. i cannot stop thinking of my family who i have not talked to in 6 months.
not a single word....i keep thinking of how and when it would be right and the best way to talk to them.

Thanks Gayle, it really is incredible being so close to them. hey, there is a few golf courses in Arizona I wouldnt mind playing either. Most Aussie golf pro's tend to live in Scottsdale if I remember correctly. Cheers, Mattieu.

I love playing golf (didnt say I was good at it though). We have so many great golf courses here in Australia particuarly in Victoria. I just played on Friday and thought I would share a couple of photos of our local hazard - kangaroos! A lot of baby Joey's at the moment, on one fairway alone I counted 70 kangaroos. I have taken quite a few jdubs from USA & Japan in years past to my local golf course, golf becomes secondary to Kanagroo watchiing after a whole.
The first pic is of one family that just watched the whole time I played the green

by truthseeker inover the years, the society has included half a page in their annual guidelines when planning for and attending the district convention.. in particular, they have been very insistent that only hotels on the recommended lodging list be used.. .
the language in this month's km is even more insistent than last years.. .
here is the text in full, with the original emphasis.. .
