The Big Mistake: celebrating 100 year of Kingdom Rule (1914)
by Gorbatchov inthe watchtower society has announced the celebration of 100 year of kingdom rule since 1914.. in recent history, more dictorial regimes has celebrated their years of rule.. i see the society's celebration as the big mistake.
it's a boomerang, a double edged sword.. during and in the aftermath of the celebration there is a change that the institution, the watchtower system, will breakdown.. just like the german demoratic republic, celebrating their 40 years of rule!
in a few month's time the gdr was gone.. gorby.

The LEGAL DEPT must have gotten involved and decided they needed evidence that the $$$ was NOT related to a payback of loans - DOC
I think you're onto something there. However, by just mentioning that the kind of money they were expecting was on par with at least the same amount as the mortgage payment, the elders are already primed with the notion of how much to kick in.
HOWEVER, the congregation has NO IDEA what page 2 says, and will donate accordingly, i.e., not much.
Their two levels of information may come back to bite them in the ass.

ANNOMALY - I think that's exactly what will happen. Even my wife said Who is going to continue to contribute big bucks when it was just read from the stage that there is no more loan repayment?
I mean, we're talking JWs here, the cheapest (and brokest) people on earth.
I'm sure there will be "adjustments."

Thanks for the insight on the sign biz and prices, INDIAN LARRY.
I know when my local KH needed a new PA amplifier, the RBC directed the congregation to a "brother".
He wanted to sell them a TOA mixer/amplifier for literally twice as much as you could get it for at Sam Ash - yet the brothers followed the "direction" of the RBC.
Have also heard brothers experinced in commercial construction remark on how expensive RBC building materials are - all sourced by our fine "brothers".
What a scam!

Embarrassed by Aggressive Apostates
by ShempLives inxjw protests & videos.
.. i am disturbed by some of the more aggressive apostates posting videos on youtube,like "a jw memorial to remember" where a drunk man goes to a memorial and downs the whole glass of wine as a sort of protest.
this video and others like it received positive comments from aawa members.

I second what FOUND SHEEP said.
"Six Screens" ( whatever in the hell that means ) was my first internet run-in with apostates, and it lived up to all of the watchtower's propaganda.

My Experience and how I finally let myself see the truth
by OneEyedJoe infirst off - for those lurkers who feel guilty just for being on this site and reading this (even if you don't read any further, as it is your right to choose that course) i want you to know that you're not alone in what you're going through or in what you are feeling.
if you read on, i hope my experience may be of some small help to you.. this may be long, but i'll try to organize it in a way that doesn't make it painful to read.
to start, i feel it is most beneficial if i'm upfront and honest with my goals from posting this, which are (in order of the degree to which they motivated me):.

Wow. Great post!
I can really relate to your story, down to the "final straw". . . .
As far as your wife, take your time, this isn't a race. At least you know TTATT when you're 29 instead of 49.
Plenty of good suggestions/advice/info here.
Welcome!

An Interesting Legal Review Of Excommunication
by metatron inhttp://mormonmatters.org/2009/09/02/is-wrongful-excommunication-legally-redressable/.
guess who gets sued for excommunication issues more than anybody else?.
i am thinking about a legal aspect of excommunication that i have never seen challenged before - that is, in regard to published bylaws and the autonomy of individual churches (that are not part of a hierarchy).. i need to research it a bit more.. metatron.
