Even if I was "exemplary" I wouldn't go on an overpriced scripted trip anywhere.
Mrs hoser has been on a couple of "bethel tours" with a JW travel agency. She said it is not worth the hassle and the price they charge.

Tell me if I'm right or wrong
by Chook injws say they can go anywhere in the world and they " know" that they would be shown hospitality from their fellow brothers.
of all my years as a jw i found this wasn't the case.
i honestly believe that if i turned up at any of my fellow apostates on here house and said hi i'm chook can we have a coffee, the response would be how many sugars..

Other clubs and religions say the same thing about extending hospitality to their members.

by wifibandit inseptember 21, 2016 to all congregations re: global assistance arrangement for the 2017 service year.
ps to bodies of elders:.
this postscript should not be read to the congregation, and this letter should not be placed on the noticeboard.

There was recently a wildfire in our area where the Kingdom Hall was damaged. They solicited the local congregations for donations and free labour to fix the hall.
Double dipping bastards!

Question about an elder and if I am crazy
by life is to short inok so i have a question.
i was a very, very true believer until i saw the child molesters in my hall and how that whole thing was handled.. my husband is older than i am and had been an elder for 12 when we married.
so fast forward to 06, we are in a hall where i thought all the elders were ok at the worst and great at the best.

The elder in question is a bully. A worthless piece of s#%t.
We had an "elder" like that in one congregation we were in. My wife said something in passing about no one at the service arrangement one time.
This guy took it as a personal threat/insult to his wife and himself.
He hauled us into the back room and reamed the shit out of both of us.
This guy is a circuit overseer now.
To answer your question lits. You are not crazy. This cult is crazy and sick. It rewards abusive individuals by enabling and promoting them.

A friend of mine was reinstated a few years back in a different congregation from where she was dfd. The announcement in our hall was two weeks before her current congregation because they had a circuit assembly and then the circus overseers visit so no announcement if reinstatement could be made.

What is the purpose of life?
by slimboyfat inwhile reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.
because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".
i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

The purpose of life. Just like any other plant or animal. We are born, we reproduce and we die.

I need more faith so I've been told
by hoser ini attended the circus assembly last weekend and i have come to the conclusion i am lacking faith.
the opening talk on the program, the very first words that came out of the speakers mouth told me so.
he said most of us here are lacking faith even though we might not know it.

How do I know this? The opening talk on the program, the very first words that came out of the speakers mouth told me so. He said most of us here are lacking faith even though we might not know it.
Do you put material goals ahead of "spiritual" ones ? Most of the time.
Do you miss meetings and field ministry for recreation? Hells ya!
Are you prepared to turn down a blood transfusion in a life threatening situation? Not really.
Are you willing to obey instructions from the faithful slave even though they appear foolish from a human standpoint? Never!

The pioneers can start their "time" at 6:00am on their iPad. Snooze in bed for another hour, have breakfast and get ready for the arrangement By noon they could have clocked in 6 hours.
