tell us a little about yourself and your family.. im a 45 year old female.
married age 18 to another jw (pos son), became the mother of two wonderful children, girl and boy (now adults), divorced and dfd when i was 33 years old and since 2008 married to my first love who used to be my classmate when i was 16 (but got kicked out of my life by my dad b/c he wasnt a jw).. were you a born in or a convert?.
my grandmother from fathers side, my parents, 2 of my 3 sisters and their husbands (one is an elder) and kids, my brother and his wife and children, and the wifes of my two uncles are all still jw (uncles both have faded, but their cult personas are still intact, unfortunately).

after the shamefull tony morris iii talk in italy, i am thinking about how it is possible that a multi billion corporation is managed by 8 old crazy man?.
who's selecting new gb members?
is it enough to be a extreme manager-elder, then getting promotion to a manager-co / do, put the organization strictly first and on who's radar you have to be?.

I think Tony has always be Tony, isn't it? So, the other GB members must have known he is a very strange guy.
Conclusion: it's difficult to realize that these crazy-8 are in charge of the organization...
But who does?

this night was a painful one.
i had a very emotional dream and woke up realise that i was crying emotional.. in my dream my past 43 years did go by with all my close family and ended abruptly after i had to tell my paralyzed brother that we were the only two left and that our parents died.. because he can't talk, he only could express himself with his facial expression in his small room of an institute.
it seems something is going on with me, it feels painful and i think it has to do something with our believe background.. wish me luck to deal l with it.. gorby.
Thanks all for your warm and loving encouragement. I'm still hurt but feel better becsuse of your warm love.

i think this could be a topic on it's own, i posted it earlier in a reply:.
one of my relatives in amsterdam has connections with the inner circle (staff) at watchtower hq.
he was told that watchtower was planning moving out of brooklyn decades ago (before 1995).. when the city of new york started bidding for the summer olympics 2012, watchtower made serious plans and made agreements for leasing their buildings for tourist accommodation during the olympics.. from the moment it was known that new york didn't get the olympics in 2012 they started selling their property.. my source is the most reliable, this is absolute true.

some friends familiar with wt gossip have told me that the decision to move out of ny was in part accelerated by the tragic events of 9/11.. my take on this is that decision to relocate was made a long time before, however they counter that a move was planned but not the total detachment that is occurring.. i wonder if anyone here has an opinion or information on this.. thanks.
Hecce, I have one answer,
One of my relatives has connections with the inner circle (staff) at watchtower HQ. He was told that watchtower was planning moving out of Brooklyn decades. (before 1995).
When the city of New York started bidding for the Summer Olympics 2012, watchtower made serious plans for leasing their buildings for tourist accommodation during the Olympics.
From the moment it was known that New York didn't get the Olympics in 2012 they started selling their property.
My source is very reliable.

for those of you who have a minute to read this, here is a report from my family trip.. i was in florida for the holidays visiting my older sister and family, along with my parents which were also visiting.. although i've had conversations with my mother about the organization, my sister and her family had no idea of my position in regards to the (un)truth - perhaps because we live far away from each other.
i knew the day was coming.... on my second day there, the whole family was sitting around bs-ing about different stuff, and as usual my mother starts with the "world is getting worse by the day" conversation, followed by approving nods and smart remarks from the rest of the family.
i then politely told them that this was not true, that in fact the world has never been better.
Great! This is exactly what happens in so much JW family's at this moment. Brooklyn The Great will fall soon.
