xjwsrocka day ago

Lett is aging terribly the last few years. Every time I see him he looks older. The stress of the WT fall from grace is killing him.

Here's some advice Lett.

Tell the truth. Let it go. God isn't backing you. Cut your losses. Follow the example of Ray Franz and do the right thing. You might get some sleep at night.

XJWSROCK I agree, I think Steve Lett is possibly one of the only genuine true believers at the ?top (puppet boy) - I don't know but I think he's not the brightest, maybe has a controling wife who will not let go, something about him tells me you are right XJWSROCK

It makes me laugh that they don't realize THEY by definition are the apostates

An apostate is someone who has left out one or more of the basic tenets of Christianity such as the divinity of jesus, the trinity etc.

Your thoughts on Halloween , yes, no or maybe ?

by Finkelstein in

well its that time again when the ghouls come out to play.

i personally think halloween is a bit irresponsible and inappropriate from a sociological perspective.. there's something about the intent of frightening young impressionable children minds with frightening objests.

and feeding them candy which most likely cause tooth decay and stomachs is irresponsible activity conducted by adults.

This just reminds me of my social life that I lost in WT.

Not looking forward to it.

I think we have a lot in comman too as I lost my eldest son in a watchtower induced tug of love as they are called 😢

Also at my age its the only time I look good - all the white make up hides my age , eyeliner and blood red lipstick is flattering on any gal or guy!

and anyway ive always been a secret goth!

Special Pioneer Couple Living at a Kingdom Hall In Miami FL, get the dreaded Letter

by James Jack in

just got a phone call from an older sister saying that a couple that got re-assigned from bethel 4 years ago to live at their kh apartment as special pioneers, just received a letter saying "as of january 2016, your special pioneer assignment will be discontinued".. they live in a south miami kh(snapper creek congregation).. this couple had only served in bethel for 15 years before they were sent out into the special pioneer work.

they are now in their mid 50's and the sister said that they have to find part time jobs to support themselves.. the older sister (does not have a pc or internet), says that the couple are just devastated!

How possible is it that this purging of all the resource-sucking bethelites and special pioneers is totally part of the plan to become a smaller but more cashed-up group. Possibly even recruiting more celebs and business people.

Just a thought, I have them sometimes.

I think its a very good thought

They're giving the SP's and beth-hell ites the old heave ho either because

1)they're broke

2)they're bastards

If I was a betting girl I'd put my money on number 2

"Oh and absolutely no strings attached you are free to associate and worship whomsoever you choose" of course.

Oh and when you are old, feeble and can no longer work you will both receive a pension for life

Wish I was a millionaire business owner, I would like to say "I and the world wide brotherhood of my fellow apostates would like to offer you both jobs with accommodation"
