  My Experience after Bethel Part 2

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i mention before i was going to move to california when i left bethel, to get way from debbie's parents.

  so i thought the best thing to do was to go to the service department and ask them were they "needed help" in the bay area of northern california.

  this shows you how totally delusional i really was at the time.

  This joke a CO told us when they visit us for a dinner:

  "A sister came to me, she was worried about her son. Brother CO, what do I have to do?

  He answered "You can test your son, put a barby doll, a litle sport car toy and a bible on the table. Let him choose and tell me at the next meeting what he did. I will tell you what he will be, a publisher or a pioneer".

  The next meeting the sister was very upset. "What did your son choose, sister? He took the barby, the sport car and the bible".

  The CO answered "don't worry sister, your son wil become a bethelite".

  there were other people who either killed themselves or tried to kill themselves while they were at "the house of god.

  one person who did kill himself was richard wheelock, press room overseer ......he jumped out of a window at the watchtower farm one day.

  it seemed, he was never quite the same after his wife "willy" died.

  Flashback: Samuel Herd/Ashland Avenue Chicago

  by Phaedra in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  must have been mid to late 1970s.. it was when they still published the speakers' names on the light-blue circuit assembly programs.. i was a child sitting in the audience at ashland avenue's circuit assembly venue.

  i loved that place with it's own basement cafeteria and baptism pool with a big jesus getting baptized mural behind it.. samuel herd was giving the talk.

  my child self could only remember my father pointing him out on the program.

  Maybe these GB members are not happy now, they must feel presure, they have to manage a big corporation.

  No more reporting time for field service!!!

  so at last i am in my next step of my fade, this month is the first month i did not turned in any hours.

  i received a text from our group leader an ms & i told him i didn't have any to report, then of course it got bumped up to the elder & i text him back i have no hours to report for december.

  i came to this decision when reading many posters here about the yearbook stats, i do not want & refused to contribute to this organization "boosting" numbers for their glorious purposes, after the rc in australia they do not deserve for me to give them a "production" report of what i do for god, no more.

  Reminds me of our fading. At my last report I wrote the message that I no longer would report. Never heard a comment about that message. A few time the elders asked for my report, the last time the elder asked me first and then said "... and by the way condoleances with the dead of your grandmother".

  A lot of "forbidden" talk is going on among witnesses

  by nevaagain in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  me and my wife are still "in".

  we had the "talk" a couple of times, but shet is not ready to leave yet.

  while a couple of years ago she started crying on the thought that i am an "apostate" and even gave me an ultimatum until she would rat me out to the elders (never happened), now i sense that she might is a little bit more open to the the thought to leave one day .... anyway, all out friends and family are still in the truth and whenever we are meeting with other witnesses topic #1 is always the recent changes to the meetings / conventions (reduced to one day) which always lead to the changes to the magazines and the recent lay offs of the special pioneers and bethelites.

  This is just like me and my father. When we are alone we speak about what's wrong. Amongst others he turns in JW mode.

  there is something going on, that's true.

  i belonged to this forum for about 5 years ; 14 years ago and made many good online friends here.. it became my new family for awhile and i am very grateful for all the help i received.. for the first time in 10 years i went into a kh for a funeral, bearing in mind it was at the hall where my husband had been the presiding overseer and regular pioneer for many many years.. they were very surprised that i remembered all their names and was confident and happy.. someone said so are you back in the truth, i said simply !

  yes i have my truth, thanks.. the elder in question said " well time will tell ?

  "and i said yes it has hasn't it, but we aren't in competition..

  It's like the Happy video, there are some things changed in JW spiritual paradise.

  It seems they want to show they are just normal people, but they are not.

  I predicted a lottery number from a pattern, is the lottery NOT random or is random held to a universal force?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. social
  2. current

  i've studied and observed several lottery patterns.

  this one is now gone so nothing lost by revealing it.

  i had a certain history search and noticed that almost each week the past few months a list of numbers not used recently were being used 1 per week.

  Here, these days the numbers are selected all by software. There was a scandal because the Greek corporation managing the software could edit the list with numbers. Can you imagine the Dutch lotery influenced by a Greek corporation? Yes it was.
