Britain Branch Relocation Project - 7 BOE's

2016-08-16 branch relocation project - key events.

2016-08-17 branch relocation project - personnel needs.

2016 key events programme.

Less ministry, less trolley cart standing, less (real) pioneering, less people coming into the organisation. The keen elder/MS/pioneers and their wives will be spending much time in Essex and less time on the flock. Good News.

But ... the born-ins will have a focus - something to do for "Jehovah". A bit of a buzz.

It will only last while the project goes ahead and then ... back to an even emptier shell of a religion.

My Lawyers Letter To The Elders

by pale.emperor in

for those of you that asked, below is a copy of my solicitors letter to the elders in my old congregation.

he sent a similar one directly to bethel and a medical directive to my daughters gp to go on her medical records that i have already given permission for her to have a blood transfusion should she need one:.

.

freddo

Errr ... your solicitor has written "and" instead of "any" in paragraph 6 line two ... damn spellcheck doesn't pick up alternative but real words!

Unbaptised kids don't have Advance Medical Directives. They have "Identity Cards" expressing the parents' wishes. Your lawyer hasn't specifically said your daughter mustn't have one. Cover those loopholes!

Got my JC cancelled... (at least for now)

so my wife and i have been in the process of fading for a few months now as per my original post here.

about a week ago, i was browsing some ex-jw facebook groups when i saw a post that linked to the crisis of conscience book.

i said "f@(k it" and hit share on it.. a few hours later, i get a long text letter from my mom (who was a fb friend of mine) telling me the typical "good luck finding friends in the world" and how we have "nothing in common anymore"; basically, it was a 'farewell' text.

Don't meet with them. If they contact you say you consider yourself admonished. That's it. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Do not say another word to them.

If you meet with them and fail to lie through your teeth to them and post anything that can be construed as apostasy - anywhere, anytime - you are toast.

If despite the above you feel compelled to meet to limit damage then be prepared to grovel and suck it up and lie as though your life depended upon it..

Experience You'll Never Hear at The Conventions: I write Porn Part Time and Pioneer!

by MTSman in

i’m a pioneer in city of brotherly love.

(yeah i said my city.

don’t give a fuck) most pioneers who need extra money, get a part gig working as a security guard, barista, or making sandwiches for a few bucks an hour.

freddo

Hang on, 30 to 50 bucks a day. A day!!!???

You laugh at menial jobs yet you could make $30 to $50 an hour washing some windows - and you crow about 30 - 50 bucks a day?

Degree in English Literature (at an Ivy League University) + writing pornographic short stories + self righteous girlfriend + pioneering = I don't buy it.

Oh yeah - besides "Quit" for "Quite" - it's "compliment" not "complement" towards the end of paragraph one. With several other grammatical and spelling errors too.

Teacher says "Must try harder,"

Anyone know how, if and when the UK Charity Commision will "go in"? (As in start investigating our dear brothers and guardians of doctrine up in London Bethel?)

In Out Guardian hokey pokey

by darkspilver in

comparing the online web article to the print article.

https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5481514754113536/borg-fighting-tooth-nail-turn-over-sex-abuse-records-press-taking-notehttps://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5643834453131264/uk-guardian-newspaper-13-august-2016.

using the online version as the starting point...... strike-thru for words removed from online to print.

Just seen this thread. Thanks darkspilver.

Good comparison. The essence of the article is still there. You can only print so much compared with on line. The printed version is a good condensed version for the space allowed.

Ponderings of a Worldly Person

by Nevuela in

35-year-old female in california here.

never a jw, but have had bible studies and attended several meetings and even a convention once.

i've always been agnostic with leanings toward the belief in some deity or other, although the more i learned from the jw's, the more i've learned to doubt, not just their teachings, but the fundamental teachings of all religions.

Well said Landy.

If you are still in the organization, do you enjoy the meetings ?

rate it from 1 to 10. thanks!

Rate it from 1 to 10. Thanks!

Public Talks: Usually a 1, may be a 2 if it finishes five or more minutes early. I give it a 10 on those rare occasions when the speaker doesn't turn up!

Watchtower: 0 - 1.

CLAM: Invariably a zero. Just one long (oh so looooonng!) mash of three meetings in one.
