@Billy, that is absolutely terrible, some people right or wrong give their all to whatever they are doing, & many would have given up a lot to serve at bethel. To be pushed to that point. I bet they don't give them any numbers or other organizations that could help them cope. No just a rely on Jehovah & if it doesn't work out well then it`s your fault for being so spiritually weak. Bastards! They will be welcome here because we are not like the JW. We like people.

19SING NO SAD SONGS FOR EX-BETHELITES
by steve2 inwhat happens to ex-bethelites is really of no concern to the gb.
and equally no concern to us as ex-jws or those who question jw organization.. layoffs have happened at headquarters and elsewhere for many, many years - although the scale this time is larger than previously, being an all time high: 1,600. .
for the record, we should spare any sympathy/empathy for those who are about to sent packing this time.

by Sabin inif disfellowshipping was to be done away with, aside from the authorities that should be informed of child abuse so it may be dealt with legally, how should these one`s be dealt with within the congregations?.

Truthseeker I`m afraid I don't know the answer to that, peoples minds process things differently. Or maybe your brain dead only joking. You do dream you just don't remember them that's all. I suspect you aren't a worry wart.

Doofdaddy, That sounds like a nightmare not a dream. To see children can signify an aspect of yourself & your child like qualities. To save children signifies your attempts to save a part of yourself from being destroyed. To dream you are fighting indicates inner turmoil, your fighting to the death could be an unwillingness to change old habits or attitude. Pigs symbolize dirtiness greediness, stubbornness or selfishness or may represent gluttony, opulence & over indulgence. Demons represent ignorance, negativity, distress. It also forewarns of overindulgence & letting lust give way to your better judgment. I don't know about your life but a dream like that is certainly something to pay heed to. -

What was the strangest off-the-cuff remark you ever heard from and elder or higher appointee?
by donny ini showed up for saturday morning field service and i was partnered with an elder who had transferred to our congregation in the dallas, texas area from michigan.
i told him about a recent embarrassing moment where i had played a "worldly" song during the sunday meeting due to someone replacing the cassette i had placed in the cassette player late friday night that had the correct "kingdom melody.".
out of the blue he said "about 4 years ago i was giving the sunday talk and i kept sporting a boner from time to time which was bizarre since being horny and teaching about jehovah is typically not something one associates with one another.".

@neatbluedog, you better believe it, I know a young sister who was going through her baptism questions, she was about 15 years old, & this elder in his 60`s asked her how she was doing with masturbation. I think they want to know cause their own wives have shut up shop & they need some thing to get off on themselves. -

Truth Drug.
by Sabin inquestion, if a 1,000 jdub`s were given a truth drug how many (what percentage) do you think if asked two simple questions, do you enjoy witnessing?
& do you enjoy going to the meetings?
how many of them would say they really didn't want to do it?

Sabin

Sorry john, I should have guessed.

No I don't John, the question is my husbands, he believes that most jDub`s given the freedom to say what they truly feel would say they didn't enjoy doing most of the stuff they are required to do by W.T. He asked me to put it up. So being the submissive wife, I did as I was told. (if you believe that your believe anything). HAHA -

I totally agree, how bad is it that these so called religious leaders have so little compassion for victims. Do you think this is how they feel or what they have been told by lawyers to say? No-one wants to just say this is what I feel, this is the truth of the situation. It`s beginning to look to me like children have no place in religion at all, survival of the fittest, so that excludes the young & the old. How very sad.
