the theme of the jw calendar 2016 is building, building, building.
all the calendar pictures are about building wts property with cheap labor witnesses.. and then, just before the year approaches the building has halted.. it seems a short term decision.
a strange correlation again.. gorby.

over on the silentlambs facebook site is a copy of a document that purports to be an order by the service depart to destroy files relating to child molestation cases: https://www.facebook.com/silentlambs/photos/a.571978169529812.1073741826.144752662252367/970409503020008/?type=3&theater.
have any of you seen this?
is this a real document or bogus?.
Anyone know if this happening world wide? Canada as well?
is this a beautiful story, or what?.
act one________.
now in an ordinary romance of the golden hollywood era, the boy goes off to war while the young lady waits nervously for his safe return.in a cary grant, debra kerr movie, the two vow to meet after a certain period of time and tragic circumstances intervene.. in my story, the young man is a conscientious objector who goes to prison instead of off to the vietnam war.
Terry sincerely wishing you a dream come true. Your story is confirmation that life goes on, hope lives eternal & what a difference a day makes

prologue... .
a brief precursor about myself.
i've been lurking around for almost 2 years.
Yinzer .... very glad that you have found this site & welcome!
Loved your writing ...I could feel your dilemma & your angst. Truth is we have been harmed in ways big & small that add up to problems.
I woke up rather late in life but my most precious possession in all of this FREEDOM ! So whether we are young or old, while there is still life in us .....life is good.
Yes we have been robbed & if we are being shunned & lost our families, we have been beat-up and left for dead!
But still life insists that we go on. We are not rushed by "Armageddon is coming" so take your time Yinz...all anyone can do is live one minute at a time. Live in the moment .... do not worry about "what you will be when you're big" .... if you know what I mean. All those minutes add up to a life of your creation. Love your family passionately ... exercise those feelings that you never developed. We basically were turned into zombies!
Wishing you well...

i can see how science is answering our questions.
okay, that's a sweeping statement, but it's the best way my empty head can express it.
i'm not sure if we're evolving as a species...that's another subject i admit to not reading about.

hot off the presses from exjw reddit earlier today.
massive leak in uk.. if true, this is big (and very, very disturbing)..
Elders told to destroy notes especially regarding child abuse.
All elders will be complicit in removing evidence if they follow the gb's orders.
I bet at least 80% of them will obey the gb!

the vast majority of deaths from the blood policy are undocumented because they are simply not newsworthy.
if you know of a death or serious injury/disability related to the blood policy, please help us document it.
send as many details as you can recall.
I worked with a woman whose brother was stabbed in his upper thigh. He lost so much blood so fast that he died in the ambulance. He was not a jw, but I tell this because watchtower gives the impression that this 'blood thing' isn't too serious.......you can always just get blood substitutes!
That is so misleading, when you need blood ...you need blood. There is no time to fool around.
In 1976 a jw friend of mine died, he had leukemia and would not take blood. He struggled on towards the glorious 1975 and made it! But a1975 fiasco happened instead. He left 3 little kids.

thousands of mormons have simultaneously tendered their resignation from the cult following secret changes to the handbook that further discriminated against gay members and the children of gay couples.. "last week secret revisions to the handbook for the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints was leaked to the public, sparking a furious backlash and ultimately resulting in the mass resignations.
" source....
Freemind .....yes what ever happened to our 'walking out' day? Are there still plans for it. Let me know will you?
Maybe the Mormons will garner some attention that we could use to our advantage!

i saw the coordinator heading for the stage and hit record on my ipad.
i was shocked but here it is.
here's my typed transcript of the letter he read:.
Oh yeah Billy he's still working it!
"I also have a gut feeling that he's circulated this letter in hopes that someone in the circuit will be able to help them get settled out in the real world."

islam is a religion of war, not a religion of peace .
seems there are many religions who do not tolerate other groups.
this statement "islam is a religion of war, not a religion of peace" reminded me of what was said at a watchtower convention in 2013 ....using a chilling example of how they condone dis fellowshipping & the soul killing practice of shunning!
Villiage ... the backlash can sure be a beeotch!
Loveuni....complicated for sure, I think the average person has a very hard time sorting it all out!
Freemind ....the dark ages allowed for more violence anyway.
Finkle ..love that illustration, all the little piggies just sucking it up.
Truthseeker ...omg just waking up with 72 virgins should scare the bejeesus out of anyone.
Malachi ....sure does sound familiar. Thanks for the 1948 explanation!
Beth Sarim ...they might be crazy enough, but as it has been said they hate confrontation ....a lot!
Endof ... the whole thing including the credit card scam will come back to bite them in the butt!
Thanks for the comments from all of you my friends.
