  so i recently learned that my ex-wife (who is still an active jaydub) forged my signature on govt.

  documents in order to receive my share of small settlement i was going to get.

  i haven't even seen her in about 6 years.

  When I split from my ex husband unknown to me he had taken my passbook and typed out a letter as if it was from me giving him the authority to withdraw £3000 pounds from it.

  I called the Police and they did nothing. They said it was a domestic!

  Fortunately the building society decided to phone me and I was able to tell them it was stolen so they kept it and returned it to me money intact. Nothing happened to my ex at all though.

  7/15 WT- Insane, Far Fetched, Narcissistic "New Light " about the FDS

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this article has been discussed, re-hashed upside down in past threads.

  but there were at least 2 points i discovered in here that i felt were pertinent and important to bring out concerning the total control and narcissistic tendencies that these wt leaders possess on the governing body, i.e.

  alleged " faithful slave " .

  NEW BIBLE RELEASE

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  had a brief chat with an elder from a distant congregation today: long story short - he has spoken to "someone" at london branch regarding the 'famine' of bibles within the org, and was told by this "someone" to just wait until nearer the end of this year.. he said it sounds like we're going to get an announcement via the annual meeting!!.

  i said that it was strange that two world wars, the spanish 'flu, the wall street crash & the great depression couldn't stop the society producing bibles, so something major must be causing it now.. does anyone have any more info on the new york court action against the wtbts and the nwt writing committee?.

  So much easier and way more profitable to knock out some expensive looking Bibles with a suggested donation of $$$$$ than a flimsy new "study aid" with it's disingenuous statements and quotes which can all be discredited via the internet.

  so about 8 years ago, we had a local needs talk about dents an scratches !!!!

  it was given by the cobe and this guy was just your normal everyday elder.

  except he had his occasional pet peeves... like (you guessed it) dents and scratches on some of the brothers' vehicles.

  Role Reversal: Placing 1969 Awake with JW's Manning the New Portable Literature Displays

  by snapdragon4 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in recent weeks the jw’s here in the uk have been setting up their new portable watchtower literature displays in my local town square on a saturday morning.

  as they hadn’t knocked on my door for at least five years, and consequently feeling somewhat neglected, i thought that i would pay them a visit instead.. .

  the first thing i needed to do was arrange my literature.

  Totally briliant!

  They are so used to being in control and free to walk away when questions get awkward with a promise of returning that this is a way we can have a proper discussion with them. They can hardly tell you to "go away" that would be very rude.

  Some of the older dubs have many handwritten notes in their Bibles and won't want to start again. I cannot see it being changed too much as I am sure it's these "amendments" wake some people up.

  The updates in the Revelation book were the start of my doubts on doctrine. Perhaps the large reference bible which must be quite expensive to produce will be discontinued completely and if the smaller bibles contain more appendixes they will no longer be necessary.
