And the letter also read that you should not even peek at the new releases before your assigned convention. You are very disobedient to Jehovah if you look. He will be sad.

Attention JW lurkers: May JW TV broadcast demonstrates the GB's utter contempt for you (and all non-elite JWs)
by sir82 inin may's "we will never solicit for money, but now we're going to solicit you for the next hour" broadcast, we kept hearing about all the "facts" that the gb would like for us to know.. hmm...what facts did they leave out?.
-- $millions have been spent in out-of-court settlements of child abuse cases.
-- $untold amounts are being spent on legal defense of wt policies related to child abuse.

I noticed that on the May broadcast Lett talks to the audience like they are a bunch of idiots. Imagine that. An idiot talking down to people he thinks are idiots. What a moron. -

A Burger and a Hook-up
by John Aquila inso i went to get a burger just now, and a couple of elders from my former congregation caught me off guard.

But before I do, I'm going to play them to see how far they are willing to go. Consider it a social experiment.
I'd be willing to bet you could go all the way with at least one of them. But be prepared for a judicial committee because most likely their cult training would kick in after the fact and they'd confess to the elders.

An experience at Bethel
by joe134cd ini was just thinking of something i observed on a visit to bethel some years back, that at the time struck me as odd, but now that i look back on it, it might be revealing about their financial situation.
please feel free to agree/disagree with me and also bear in mind this is some years back so my memory may be sketchey.
i remember walking into the front entrance of the bethel to do a tour.

If you're using slave labour pennies can count. In the real business world it most likely would be a negative return on investment of labour to save stamps. -

Welfare and Witnesses
by adjusted knowledge ini'm ignorant to the social welfare programs outside the us, but listening to others i have to assume in europe it is more generous.
i've not had deep personal conversation with active witnesses for nearly 20 years.
last year i made contact with a family and some elders came to my house.

I know an elder who refused to take a good paying job to provide for his growing family because he would have to work every other Saturday morning.
Instead he does odd jobs, collects food stamps and other handouts and "takes the lead in the ministry"

Book Burning and other burning of materials done by JW. Any experiences Please post
by adjusted knowledge inas a very young child i have memories of several book burnings done by jw families.
it wasn't something arranged by the congregation, but elders did participate in it.
it was actually scary for me as a child of only about 8 years old.

Rumor about the Imitate Jesus Convention
by FusionTheism ini saw a rumor a few weeks ago on reddit that the new imitate jesus convention is supposed to present new light and clarified understandings on the disfellowshipping/disassociation practices.. supposedly, if this rumor has any truth to it, there will be a talk given at the convention about how we should not be strict like the pharisees in how we shun people, loosening up some of the jw rules about this practice.. has anyone here heard anything about this or have more info on it?.

They read a letter last week about not downloading the new releases until you have attended YOUR own convention. Ya right -

I was a born in indoctrinated by parents who were kool aid sipping Jws. I have to admit I was gullible as gullible gets. I drank the kool aid. I wholeheartedly believed all the bs in the revelation book as if it was from jehoover himself.
That was a result of my ultra orthodox jw upbringing. I knew of nothing else and was afraid of apostates.
So when you talk disparagingly of people who are gullible go easy on them. It may be their parents fault. Also realize there is a chance that they will change. I did.

I'm sure there are some kickbacks somehow involved. Just like the hotel rooms at the conventions.
