9WT $$ Question ?
by exwhyzee inwhen thinking about the wealth of the organization, i used to wonder how anyone of us would ever really know if someone was actually getting rich, personally profiting or living the highlife using watchtower funds.
i always figured that if there were something like that going on, the u.s. government would surely have found this out and would have gladly exposed it.
then some time ago someone made a post indicating that there are those who are being paid by the watchtower.

Watching Rocky Horror for the 1st time
by rebel8 inand it's weird.. it's one of those things i was afraid to do post-dubbery because it was supposedly evil.
once i got over that, i kind of forgot to see it.. evil it's not.
lol .

Rebel8, if you ever get the chance to see a live performance on stage (and I don't mean the theatre movie screenings with audience participation, that NewChapter refers to, even though that can be fun, I mean the kind with a professional cast), beg, borrow or steal the money to go. It was the BEST experience of my life, and had I known of a bank with really slack security, I'd have stolen the money to go to every single nights performance.

Those of us who left the WT for less than noble reasons
by Aussie Oz insometimes i feel like a second class apostate...not that anyone has ever said anything to make me feel that way, i just do, you know what i mean?.
i left the jws because i just couldn't fight my flesh anymore.
the battle inside was going to kill me literally.

transhuman68: Ultimately I think the goal is to be an ex-exJW, so terms like 'apostate' will have no meaning, and the reason why you left won't even matter.
Absolutely.. I reached that point many years ago.. (and it feels good, people!) the only reason I'm even at JWN is to be at my brother's (Aussie Oz) side during his journey..

You have a very strange concept of what constitutes a "good and purposeful life"
