Donations aren't coming in from Western Countries: more confirmation
by Julia Orwell inin talking to sparky the elder today (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/263862/1/an-elder-called-me-hes-waking-up-and-knew-id-understand-nice-for-him-to-have-a-friend) i found out he did the accounts for our congregation for years.
he said very rarely did the congregation meet its expenses without some well-off brother chipping in a few grand here and there.
the elders would also make up the shortfall.

Wow, he died young. May I ask how? Was it because of his cruel nature?

My Review for Terry's new book, "I Wept by the Rivers of Babylon, A Prisoner of Conscience in a Time of War"
by AndersonsInfo ingrappling with conscience .
a must read, i wept by the rivers of babylon,a prisoner of conscience in a time of war, is an important self-portrait of a naive young man, terry walstrom, who in 1967 thought he was obeying his conscience when he refused to take up arms and kill.
inasmuch as he was a conscientious objector, walstrom could have availed himself of noncombatant service in the military, but he was opposed to that arrangement.

I just purchased the book on Lulu. I tried to find it on Amazon because I have an account with them but I couldn't find it. Lulu is fine and it was quick and easy to purchase the book there.
I am looking forward to reading the book.

I told my wife that she was in a cult...
by garyneal in...it is not the first time i did this but from time to time when i get frustrated i tend to say things i later regret, like this.. she went to the meeting this past sunday and apparently she heard a talk about watching her associations.
she told me that she was glad to have that talk because the message was timely for her.
you see, the saturday night prior she and my kids were at her sisters house and her sister and friends suggested that she hang out with them sometime.

Jehovah's Witnesses think they have a right to lable everyone else but how dare anyone put lables on them. The bully people with the lable "apostate."
They are only going to get more and more bad press. Hopefully our loved ones are smart enough to get out sooner rather than later.

I worry about my still in family getting bitten by dogs and shot at. Wish I could get them out of this cult. The world does hate them, not because they are Jesus' disciples, but because of the constant Saturday morning doorbell ringing.
This man does need some anger management therapy.
