  I am not going for JC!

  by exWTslave in

  this morning two elders visited me and said this years memorial day is on april 14, and we are informing you well in advance so that you can arrange your affairs and attend.

  [i had given them the impression that i am very busy due to my secular assignments, hence most of the time out of station.].

  then i thought two elders visiting me cannot have an ordinary purpose, and i should give them a piece of my mind.

  Jason Cobb's new podcast explaining Menlo Park scandal

  this podcast is very interesting, especially the latter half.

  in a nutshell, the scheme is this: after determining that a complete kingdom hall remodel will cost the congregation $100,000.00, the regional building committee arbitrarily inflates the estimate to $250,000.00, fleecing the congregation and misappropriating the additional funds for other purposes.

  He never talks about one single specific aspect of what happened, that was a little disappointing. Also he is clearly still mentally on the fence about how evil (or not) the WT religion is.

  A Unique Web Site: JWlove.org

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower

  well, all parodying of the january 2014 awake aside: no, not so unique.

  unlike the claims of jw.org, it is not the one true website that will solve all your problems.

  in fact, jwlove.org will not be for everyone and i admit that there are likely other places where the same information is presented in a better, more comprehensive manner.

  Has the Governing Body Become More or Less Authoritarian in Recent Years?

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it seems to me that this is a no-brainer but i have been out since '96.. so based on your personal experiences what do you think?.

  lots more - a bit more - just the same as always - less - a lot less?.

  if you think more or lots more can you spot a time or event when it started to change?.

  GB 2.0 is waaaaaaay more hardcore and strict. It's their way of keeping their thumb in the dam.

  Story of a GB ass-kisser

  by zound in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was reading a life story article in the latest watchtower and had a few thoughts about it i thought i'd share here.

  these life story things are always so depressing to me - this one is slightly interesting because it is told by a current "governing body helper".. it's called "full time ministry - where it has led me.

  " reading it i just got the impression that this guy (robert) was aiming to be a gb member but fell short and ended up being a gb "helper".

  Great job disassembling the article and reading between the lines. It very much rings true.

  When I was at Brooklyn HQ I saw plenty of ass kissing and those were the guys that always ended up with the best jobs and their faces in the magazines.

  Since absolutely nothing good has ever been accomplished by any sites critical of WT they should all just go away... yeah that will help everyone a lot....

  Keep up the good work negative crusaders for nothing! Another "worthless" site exposing WT flaws and errors has bitten the dust thanks to your lack of effort or support!

  Growing a beard!!

  i am doing one of my dreams for a while: growing a beard.

  it may not seem like much, but it's quite the experience for me.

  it's probably a rite of passage from jw to exjw lol.. besides the itchyness, i hate it that it curls so much (i have hairs that naturally start to curl after a certain length).. anyone here have tips on taking care of a beard?

  New book - "Journey to Gods House" by Brock Talon

  2. experiences

  this thread's in tandem with clarity's started here in the members only section.. remember the jwn poster livingthedream from 2 years ago?

  his threads often had me in stitches and he had a real knack of hooking you into the story so that you kept reading.

  who of us could forget the account of the booming voice of 'god' ordering a double chocolate chip ice cream?
