  Spiritual spies

  by Joey Jo-Jo in

  2. experiences

  i have been reading coc and isocf in the train every morning and noticed some funny stuff occurring.. .

  this witness (i knew because i have seen her before reading jw literature, she probably saw me as well before reading a jw book but we never spoke), she spotted somehow and knew that i was reading apostate books, i was on the far left of the train and she was on the far right, i have good peripheral vision and noticed her having a good look at me ( to advise the spiritual policemen) and when i turned my head to the right she would quickly look away, this happened on two occasions.. .

  after a week or so i was sitting in the same spot and on the far left there was another women who i had never seen before, i didnt noticed her at all until i heard the noise of camera taking a picture (most likely a mobile making the noise of a camera when taking a picture, which most do), again i turned my head around to the right and she somehow magically fell asleep in an instance, one second she is taking a photo the other shes asleep ahahah.. .

  Wow. Interesting story. Doesn't surprise me one bit though. The literature encourages ratting someone out.

  We are feeding the answers to the Bethel Lurkers!!

  by clarity in

  are we providing the material for damage control?

  are we making them look credible?

  like giving them a "heads up" as to what is ssoooo wrong, and they're trying to fix the fallout!

  If you are a lurker from Bethel, I really would like to know how your conscience allows you to continue to work for such a criminal organization, while you know the facts from among others these boards. Someone fully under mind-control has an excuse, but the one doing the mind-fucking has no excuse. Perhaps they are "Just following orders" and excuse used many times in human history, as we saw at the Neurenburg trials.

  good news!.

  the dutch kingdom ministry shows the following statement:.

  this year (2010) 43.372 persons attended the memorial, 100 persons took of the symbols.. the 2009 attendance figure was 51.578.. this means that 8.206 went missing in one single year, a plunge of 16%.. i get the impression that the partakes figure is going up as they now avoid the term "annointed".. .

  Donations to The Watchtower

  in the uk we are encouraged to make our donations by bank direct debit.

  i just wondered if anyone knows if a direct debit is stopped whether the local kh the doner attended gets informed?.

  my husband stopped his donation some time before we completely ceased attending meetings and he has always wondered whether the elders knew.

  Yep. Had a standing direct deposit of 75 Euros each month. One of the first pieces of information I found that lead to my departure was the child abuse and a 2007 payoff of $12.5 million and thought "I'm not paying for that" and immediately stopped the direct-deposit.

  Internet penetration in the Netherlands floats between #1 and #3 in the world - so this certainly must be a root cause.

  hi, i've tried searching for some recent posts on rumours or otherwise of branch offices being closed but cannot easily find anything.

  does anyone readily have a list of the ones earmarked for closure?

  i did read about central america but also recently some european too.

  I know that Spain was/is closing down. Reason was as they would have to pay social security for the volutneer workers.

  Not sure of other sites.

  dear randy, early this year i requested disassociation from the org and have been meaning to publish some sort of statement.

  i was a member for over 33 years and partook of the emblems.

  being an older widow it took some deliberation and guts to make the move but am currently very happy with the change.

  my 6 year old walked straight past her grandma and auntie (jws)

  grandma has not seen her for 18 months and auntie 2 years !

  i was in the town at the weekend just before i went to work , my little girl was walking a few feet ahead of me and i saw her auntie come out a shop followed by grandma and i thought "oh shit" "what have we got to talk about after all this time " but fortunatley they just walked past eachother oblivious , despite grandma being so close she could have patted her on the head !

  i was relieved but afterwards i thought how sad it is that a grandma cant come to visit her own grandchild and didnt even notice her (they are my disfellowshipped hubbys family .

  Sad indeed. Glad to hear of your anti-witnessing though. Good job!
