Amazing job Terry. Last week 3 of my wife's brothers came for a visit and I was going to bait them when one asked what news item I was reading on my smartphone. I said it was a report on how cultural and religious organizations in Australia deal with child abuse...and how the Catholic Church and Orthodox jews had been blamed...I waited for a smart ass JW comment that didn't come...so I didn't pursue it not to pass as the instigator and upsetting my wife. Sadly JW turn on the messenger instead of checking the validity of the message. I love how Terry threw off the JWs by telling them he is agnostic to avoid being labeled an apostate.

85"And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"
by Terry ini always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.
i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.
so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

These are the boxes used at regional conventions. Easy to see and self-supporting. All is left is to assign someone to guard it. -

Shortly after I stopped going to the meetings when JW relatives came to visit and prayed before meals I stayed away from the table until they were done for the reason Bonsaï enumerated. If I hadn't gone to work the previous week there would be no food on their plates and if I was out of a job for months the roof over their heads would be gone too...god has nothing to do with that...but if he did why is he blessing me while millions are starving? -

If you were told today you would die next week, would you be happy and fine with that?
by EndofMysteries ini don't know how so many who seem to be certain this life is it after being jw's seem to happily accept it and be fine with it.
i am living and trying to live as if this is it.
i want there to be a future life/afterlife, something, but i see how fast life comes and goes and even if i'm living it to the fullest, there is no peace for me with the thought this may be it.

Since I have awaken I am at peace with the fact that I will grow old and pass away. This way I can appreciate the time I have left and enjoy life to the fullest instead of wondering if there is a god and what he requires of me so I can make it to an afterlife, which there's no evidence of. Today I don't believe in anything that requires faith and I am much happier this way, living for the moment and finding joy in the smallest of things...from the warm smile of my neighbor to the sweetness of the raspberries that grow in my yard. -

by Clambake inmy wife has a friend at her kh.
she is 37 and her friend is 88. i know it sounds kind of strange but they are both the wives of ubm so they kind of stick together.

Suggesting to the old lady to leave some of the inheritance to your wife is not different than an elder's suggestion to leave her money to the WT or to himself... -

After twenty years of marriage…
by John Aquila ini just got a call from a friend who informed me that a brother whom i've known for a while and is an elder, just found out last night that his wife of 20+ years declared she was gay, and left him..
i still need to confirm but my friend is very reliable and was close friends with the family.
heres the thing, she spent 20+ years with this man, has children with him and now decides she wants to follow her heart.

Their sex life must have been miserable...I used to be friends with a very spiritual JW couple special pioneer and all...he thought getting married would curb his wanting for men...newly married the wife said they would have sex once a month if that while it was once a day at least for my new bride and I...for the first few months any way. They had 3 kids so I know there's 3 nights when he didn't have a headache. Today she's remarried and happy. That's what happens when sexual compatibility can only be tested after marriage. -

Millions of JW go door to door daily knowing that most occupants are at work...but all that matters is that they are showing their obedience to Jah who blesses them regardless...the same goes for those who watch the publication trolleys without ever engaging any passer by. Just keeping busy in the most urgent work there is in these final days. -

Governing Body Mandating That Parents Shun DF'd Preteens Baptized Children Will Hurt Them Big Time In The Courts
by Brokeback Watchtower inas the bad conduct of the governing body becomes widely known to both judge and jury i expect that will make lawsuits more profitable against them and easier wins against them and more plentiful.. i think probably one of the most damming videos out there on the net is the one where the parents show their loyalty to the wt corporation and shun their own flesh and blood in obedience to it cruel directives.
this video truely shows that the governing body don't give a shit about the children who symbolize their dedication to the corporation or their parents.. such a self serving corporation that uses it members for profits only and offer nothing in return no matter how much how much they claim otherwise.
they can't hide this it is plain as day so no matter how much they claim they are concerned about the youth in the organization their action thunder loudly and can not be hiden under a basket.

They really project the image of loving parents....way to go JWs. After the interview they must have had people lining up to congratulate them on their fine example of loyalty to their loving god. -

Cart Witnessing - Thrilling! Productive! Epic! Er.....um, well, not so much.....
by sir82 intalked with a pioneer recently, she was recounting her first experience with cart witnessing.. she brought the subject up, was going on & on & on & on about how wonderful the experience was, and how great, and how she enjoyed it so much, and it was so wonderful, and oh jehovah's blessing, and on and on and on...... a few questions to her revealed what really happened:.
-- a jw who owns a small restaurant in a strip mall allows jws to set up their cart outside his restaurant.
-- the restaurant is tucked pretty far out of the way, not prominent at all.

I spend a lot of my time on the road and travel internationally so I had the opportunity to observe the carts in San Diego, Dallas, Seoul, Toronto...and I have yet to see JWs talking to anyone except for other witnesses stopping by to say hello or to replace those guarding the cart...you just can't call this success. It like having two people guarding a small billboard.
