Metatron, BU2B, WTWizard, and chapstick all make good points about Conspiracy theorists. While I don't believe EVERY Conspiracy out there.....there are quite a few that deserves some investigation and some that straight having you questioning the event like 9/11 and recently Benghazi. TOO many skeptics want to immediately trash the theories and it's endorsers. Just like what the WT does to "apostates". The information presented can't be objectively looked at after the endorsers have been attacked as "mentally ill". I've come to face the fact that you can't trust people in high power period. You can take things at face value but know there is POSSIBLY something else behind what's seen. WHY SHOULD EX-JW TRUST THE GOVERNMENT AFTER FINDING THAT GB HAD LIED TO THEM? Who are the worse of the 2 evils? Men with power and a need to exercise it at ALL cost!

Why we have Conspiracy Theorists......
by cantleave ineveryone knows a conspiracy theorist (let's face it we have a few on this board).
my attention has been to drawn to an article in the new york times, which i have pasted below.
apparently people with propensity to create conspiracy theory narratives are quite sane, even though they may have low self worth and cannot fully ascertain their place in the world.

My WORST Convo experience was at the International Convention in Long Beach 2003. Like always, My congregation had to help with parking. Waking up at 6am, assisting with the parking for a influx of visitors and assigned congos was a big pain in the ass. The program would start a little after 9 and we were out in the blazing sun in the middle of summer till 10 parking cars. Since parking attendants were there early we would get a chance to get seats. But.....since there was SOOOOOO many people there for THIS Convention, the seat I had saved for myself ended being takened. I didn't even bother to look for it since there was a lot of people standing up at the balcony railings because of no seats. I HATED those Conventions and the STUPID parking arrangements!

How long does it take to get reinstated ?

Pitchess, In the words of this one brother I used to know. "You might just about be through". If that makes any sense LOL. You might be through with faking a reinstatement. Like what the other posters have been saying about it ALL depends on what the local elders decide. They'll take in account your past dealings with the other body of elders but ultimately it's up to them. Might be 3 months, 6 months, or even a year. If you can get your Denzel on.....good luck.
Once(or if you get) back in..... a little of that and get out like a out of hell

New light Watchtower magazine leaked from organization weeks ahead of general release
by cedars inhttp://jwsurvey.org/governing-body-2/new-light-watchtower-magazine-leaked-from-organization-weeks-ahead-of-general-release.
if doctrinal explanations are missing from the article, it is because they are also missing from the magazine.. i would like to give my thanks again to my source for supplying me with the magazine article weeks ahead of its scheduled release.
it showed remarkable courage, because risks were taken.

I did it for the first time last year. I don't know if I'll do it again because I didn't like the feeling of my body afterwards. Was a good experience though and I'm glad to help somebody

Tips for my Job interview today

Update: The interview went fine, though it kind of suprised me with 3 people questioning me. A Judicial meeting setting. Some of the questions that I reviewed were ask. The one I had a little trouble with, was how did I handle a difficult situation. I gave a example and they were asking for some more detail. I had to make something up on the fly, though the situation did happen. My involvement in it wasn't to the point where I described. I did feel more comfortable as time progressed in the 30 minute interview. The open questioning at the end was great for me and we shared some laughs. Hopefully, they will call me back. Thanks for all your suggestions.
