grew up in east la in a bad neighborhood to a black mother and white father.
i never knew my father because he died in a car accident when i was a few weeks old.
my mother converted as a jw soon after when two sisters came to her door and offered her comfort, which was something she needed.
Hollywood,
Thanks for sharing your story. One thing I would suggest is to contact Irwin Zalkin about your abuse, abuser never tend to have only one abuser. So maybe there was a history there. Even if he is dead. Second, Try to go back to the music industry. If you have the talent. People will give you a second chance. Again, welcome and hope to hear more from you. Good luck

reddit user u/opinionmill pointed out in another thread that they've used the quote before:.
has anyone else's family finances been victim to the 'seek the kingdom first' economic policy?.
for years, my husband and i have had our own business, my husband is not the most proactive guy, prefers to go in field service than to work, but he has always encouraged me to 'rely on jehovah and all these other things will be added to you', 'seek the kingdom first' etc etc.
there have been times, such as when i was heavily pregnant and we lost a big deal, that i have been begging jehovah on hands and knees to honour that promise, wondering why he wasn't helping us.
"Seek kingdom first" if you want to be dirt poor. It's insane what the GB ask for the pioneers, specially when no one from the territory is getting baptized. Being a need greater is a waste of time, sorry LITS. Being a pioneer is a waste of time. There so much you can learn and do. JW don't have any ambition to create to invent. That damages people's thinking and are more easily brain washed.
I just started to go to college four months ago. I have learned more in four months, then all my life as JW. Is clear for me the reason they don't want to you to get higher education.

a hilarious stupid wa message is being circulated amongst jws in my area / country.. i had a hearty laugh at the ignorance and stupidity and brainwashed mentality, different people may express different emotions so you have been warned.
day one after armageddon it seems ages since we last heard the gunshots and screams, today has been really quiet.
the last few weeks have been sheer terror.
has there been anything in writing sent out to the elders, co's re the stopping of the "ww building work yet?.
no one has mentioned anything at cong level but it has been mentioned about the bethelites being sent tot the field as of january - canadian bethel is being reduced by 40% and the ones remaining have been told they will have to do work themselves, i.e.
food and cleaning.... .
The building work that is being stop is major construction. Assembly halls or Remote translation offices. KH are still going to be built. I talk to branch comitee member that's not in the U.S branch. He told me they have a template letter that the U.S branch sent them. It's a 25 percent reduction around the world. Much smaller then at first talked about.
He is in the Mexico branch the first number they told them were reduction of 700-800. Newest number is from 300-400. Their is slight change of the number going home.

is this supposed to placate the ones who have been recently fired?
is this a sign of the aging jw leadership?
Ramirez I don't think I have heard of here in Southern California. Our new C.O is Cardamone he is a ex D.O. old school by the book.
Some of the Spanish C.O David Miner who was extremely lazy. Mario Maldonado short guy kind of nice, retired already.

Episcopo was one of many hard nose Spanish D.O. Did any of you guys had Lira or Melendez? Most of these old timers are hard core will never say one bad thing. Till you get them alone.
Years a go I was talking to a C.O by last name vanyike I'm not sure how you spell it. He told me he was disappointed that the end was not here yet. He said he wish he had a family, he was old and alone.

Thanks to all involved in the leak.
My taughts, first of all the teach book is already water down. I could imagine how bad the second one will be.
Magazines, about time, like many here think magazines will be done with in a couple years. It's mostly recycled material.
New meetings, I think there trying to get more publishers. Many elders don't let you become a publisher if you are not in the TM school. So any kid 3 and over can become a publisher with not having a TM school anymore. So publisher will go up, if your kid is 5 and not a publisher your bad parent.
