  What worries the Governing Body the most?

  by roybatty in

  if you were a governing body member (or one of the power brokers at bethel) what would worry you the most?

  i was thinking about this last night.

  do you worry about the lawsuits connected with the pedophile cover-up?

  Hey ROY..LTNS!

  I believe the GB is becoming a non-entity. I think since the GB were removed from any REAL position of authority (spiritual guidance? what the hell is that when you are "only mostly dead" and mostly just drool these days?) when they "restructured" a couple of years ago, that they are just a puppet up there. Theyve become like the royals in England me thinks...just sorta there because the Dubs have become so used to having the old birds there and since they are Only Mostly Dead already...just waiting for them to die off and wont replace them. Theyve already put into place the other things that will enable the corporate and political and PR types to slide right in there and run the place. And none of THEM have to be annointed, coinkydinkally. They stuck Hurd in there so nobody can say there was NEVER a minority GB member in 125 years. The younger ones on the GB are probably at the meetings in the round table room to prop up and wipe the drool off the ancients. The ones who are still relatively mobile, they send out to speak to vast crowds of the loyal...following an outline they have done 153 times so they dont screw up...or doing a Milly Vanilly on everybody. Prop em up, take out the false teeth so they gum and voila...God Visits the Multitudes in Cleveland and everybody is spiritually encouraged and uplifted for like...a nannosecond.

  I think you have to be conscious to be fearful dont you? :)

  as of 8:30 pm this evening the appeal hearing decided to uphold the decision.

  i spoke to them for over an hour and tried to reason with them as to the validity of their decision.

  frankly, they were not interested.

  We knew this would happen exactly as it happened. They are nothing but SEE no evil HEAR no evil SPEAK TONS OF evil, mindless company men. They had to make Bill an EXAMPLE to WARN THE SHEEP of what happens to those who DARE to defy Mother! And of course, in the process, they prove without a shred of doubt what A$$holes are running this God FORSAKEN Organization of putzes. I believe the only way the JWs will hear about any of this tho is for it to CONTINUE to be held in the public court for them to see! It wont be announced, it wont be in their magazines...it will only be HERE and in the papers so keep the fires burning! I know of many many instances where a person is handled like this and the result was that half the congregation left with them in abhorrence of what the organization did! Yeah...I pretty much despise these people as much as my body can tolerate without implosion.

  Bill you might like to have your house, phone and cars debugged.

  New Anti-Paedophile Laws Considered in UK

  by expatbrit in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  here is an interesting article from the bbc, regarding the two missing young girls from cambridgeshire.. the proposed laws would make it illegal for sex offenders to contact children to exploit them.

  it is targetted mostly at chat rooms and text messaging.

  however, it could have relevance to jw paedophiles contacting children in field service too.. perhaps it would be an idea for our uk posters to contact some of the child agencies mentioned in the article and inform them of the jw problem?

  I have said everything in that person's letter VERBATIM and have RECEIVED every word in that letter verbatim from other JWs once I left. It is the COMPANY LINE and underneath that attempt to discredit and discard what you said, is the same aching nagging DOUBT we all have. If that person didnt have any doubt about the TRUTH being TRUTH...he wouldnt have been reading what YOU had to say to begin with :)

  Its the old we are CHOSEN but when we F*CK up we are IMPERFECT line of reasoning LOLOL!

  We are all more than the "sum of our parts" you know? I am many things, all of which have made me what I am. And to exjws I am an exjw. To my kids I am mom, to my husband I am his wife. To my neighbors I am a neighbor...and the various things do not overlap. I dont walk around, as Im sure you dont, with a sign on my chest announcing my EXJWness. It has its place in my life and history and I use what I gleened from that experience to relate to others of the same experience or to help someone through it as we all have been. If it is all consuming and thats all you think about then you havent moved on. But its place becomes more defined, and its borders more evident as time wears on. Dont worry that it seems to hang around. I believe it has something you can make lemonade from in the long run. Kinda like manure...it smells really bad but it makes the flowers grow :)

  When a fish in a bowl looks out at you...who do you think HE thinks is in a bowl?? There are 6 million of THEM kids and 6 BILLION of us out here. Who is out and who is IN?

  My vote? They are the losers in this deal. All they are stuck with after they shun us is EACH OTHER and that is NO BARGAIN, sisters and brothers. Definitely the brown end of that stick.

  Someone about to open a can of whoop ass

  by LyinEyes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  oh yeah , the can shall be opened very soon.. we were ratted on for smoking at the dance club a few weeks ago, the dub that did it told our elders and we just said to hell with it all, we don't beleive it is the "truth" anymore and want to disassociate ourselves.

  we told the elders that smoking was not the problem, the borg was, the lies, the child abuse, the cover ups, the changes etc.

  in fact i dont even smoke now.

  Where was HIS "second witness" to what YOU were doing? Problem is you confessed. There were two of you seeing him...who else saw YOU?

  Do this before you get DAd or they wont listen to you at all. Why listen to a DAd person? They only want the things of the WORLD you know...and all of a sudden this MS who narced will look like the one with the conscience and the goodie goodie. He wont be touched. Perhaps a private reproval and not being able to handle any MICS for a month ...but thats it.

  Id just kick his as personally. Forget the tongue lashing. Its meaningless.

  This stuff is SO worth money! Even if you look on Amazon.com some of the out of print JW books like from David Reed are getting BIG BUCKS! Sell em! Might as well get SOME satisfaction from the pound of flesh they took out of YOU!

  Guilt???? What guilt this sh*t is about as sacred as my old tennis shoes. SELL IT!

  Better yet...sell it and send some of the money to Silentlambs.

  Ever get the shaft working for a brother...

  i've worked for 2 different brothers in my lifetime.

  since they're a brother, you're supposed to be treated better than a worldly employer, right??

  Ooooooh yes. My husband is in construction (very desireable skills for every freakin hall build for 400 miles around) And of course the brothers used him and used him and used him, and meanwhile his family is barely makin ends meet and the bills are piling up. Hes hiring JWs because he felt sorry for them and they loaf around. Meanwhile at a hall in Chicago, some brother is selling investment shares to the brothers and stealing their money. Why would a brother lie you know? And every pioneer I knew was involved in selling Tupperware, Mary Kay, New Skin, Vitameatavegemin or whatever, paintings, interior decorating, Avon, Amway, you name it...every pyramid scheme under the sun and you KNOW you are obligated to not only attend these parties, but to BUY things from that poor sister who is pioneering! I eventually let it be known that I would not attend ANY of these parties, so as not to play favorites. And hell you can only use so many aroma therapy candles, kids. I breast fed three kids in those kingdom hall bathrooms and the stuff I heard in there would CURL your hair!
