Blondie:
I was never a "sister" ;) but You're quite right. Even those who are not observant would notice the obvious social ladders prevalent in congregations. Great advice too.
so when i was at luch today, my wife was in full cult mode.
she started in on me about us not being able to hang with other witnesses and when i go to the meetings with her that i don't talk with nobody nor pay attention and act angry.
i told her that i don't want to fight and i have better things to do than argue.

so we all know how ineffectual the preaching work really is.
we also know how much the wts hypes up the scope and scale of the global preaching effort.
what the gb should be doing however is emphasising the ineffectiveness of the preaching work.
This is simply brilliant, thanks!
On a side note, am I wrong in recalling that the message about the Great Tribulation used to be far more harrowing? I seem to remember a distinct message of doom and gloom back in the 70's and 80's.
straight after the commission ended today within minutes, the phone rang.
it was one of the people who are working on it.
firstly she established if i was alright and did i want to talk.. i said i was too tired and unhappy that geoffrey jackson managed to do some preaching....she said they were aware of that.
I personally think Brother Jacksons testimony was the best thing that has ever happened in relation to the issue of child abuse within our organisation
By there being no mention of GJ's "presumptuous" rebuttal concerning the GB being in direct communication with God in those nauseating worship posts, indicates why "new light" is never questioned and so readily accepted by the die-hard Org zombie. I don't believe there exists a limit as to what those zombies will overlook in order to safegaud the fantasy.
just would like to know if anyone is going to be there that knows ttatt

welcome! You seem to have put a lot of effort into something the vast majority of us here have already accepted as flawed or just plain bullshit based on the abundance of information out there. If you are religious I suggest you take what The Seacher said to heart ...

Just what I needed for a little project I'm working on. You've made it a lot easier for my technologically challenged brain. Thanks!
even though i'm no longer mentally a jw (i still technically am) i do recognize that there are some benefits to being raised one.
for example, the first (and only so far) wordly guy i was involved with had to smoke weed every day and got drunk all the time and that was his idea of fun.
i couldn't help but feel bad for him.
