My story in short

by DeWandelaar in

i am visiting this site for quite some time now and now i think it is time to tell something about me and my experience.

without giving away my name (i am in "fade mode"): i am from the small country they call the netherlands, the land of wooden shoes, tulips, cheese and too many inhabitants per square meter.

i am married with children and a second generation jw.

Growing old and broke... Need advice on making money! Ebay? Ideas?

by Greybeard in

jw
friends

i was in business with my jw family and they took that over because i am now a worthless apostate.

i am 50 years old and need to make some moola.

i am good with ebay and i can build websites.

One growing industry / home based business is "Elderly home care" You have to have passion to serve others thou. I started working as a caregiver during weekends to bring extra income (single divorced mom of 2) and gain experience. EASY really. I did some research, study all aspects of homecare in the internet, hundreds of website, then I went on my own. You don't have to buy a franchise, perhaps just a book that tells how to start a homebases elderly care business. I can let you borrow mine. Thanks God I got 3 clients as soon as I started. I hired the best ex-coworkers caregivers I knew and assign them to my new clients. I have 20+ years of experience working in corporate america (business admin, accounting, human resources, payroll, marketing, PR, etc) and I apply this experience in the management of my client's care. I have low flat rates for my clients and pay my caregivers up to $4 the average pay in this industry.

Find out what service people needs in your community and if you have the skills provide those services.

Also what kind of transfereable skills you have that may be applied in another field.

New light Watchtower magazine leaked from organization weeks ahead of general release

by cedars in

http://jwsurvey.org/governing-body-2/new-light-watchtower-magazine-leaked-from-organization-weeks-ahead-of-general-release.

if doctrinal explanations are missing from the article, it is because they are also missing from the magazine.. i would like to give my thanks again to my source for supplying me with the magazine article weeks ahead of its scheduled release.

it showed remarkable courage, because risks were taken.

WOW... awesome information ... I will try to see my sister and make comments about this so when they study this magazine something rings in their heads ...I HOPE

There are really TWO Watchtower Societies

by Terry in

with cedars release of leaked watchtower new light "adjusting" understanding of "who" the faithful and discreet slave is.....i am struck by something which similarly struck me back in 1967.in 1967 i had just been imprisoned.

being a male jehovah's witness during the viet nam war meant certain "issues" arose affecting a decision to respond to the military draft.i have told the story before.

but, i'd like go at it from another angle in view of the above mentioned new light about the fds fora different reason.it was first in 1967 i began to discover that there are two watchtower societies.let me explain why i say this and for what reasons.first of all, anybody standing in a kingdom hall or sitting in a seat at a vast international assembly saw people they would identify as all on the same page.

It is a CORPORATION ...not even a Christian Ministry so and so ... a CORPORATION ... when I visited their building in NYC and I saw the forecast charts in their walls ... forecasting into years to come how much PUBLICATIONS they will "distribute" SELL, construction etc for years to come ... it was all about the CORPORATION not even mention of saving souls for JESUS, or bringing people to JESUS ... everything was about their publications ... funny that during that excursion we took a non-JW friend with us,,, he laughed at me and said YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME ,,, because he realized how false they are

We all exJWs have come to know the CORPORATION and how they are screewing up the members or the way the do business as Jehovah's Witness ... so for me it goes like this:

Watchtower Corporation DBA (doing business as ) Congregation of Jehovah's Witness ... LOL

Does The Governing Body Have What It Takes To Be CEOs Of The Watchtower Corporation? Will They Run It Into The Ground With Their Delusional Bible God Fantasy?

by frankiespeakin in

i really feel these old fogies on the governing body are too messed up in their delusion to run a company successfully or any real skill.

yes sometimes lunatic fringe manage to get into some pretty high places.. does the governing body have what it takes to make good decisions, i don't think so, they have been in this delusion too long and have too much invested in it to make sane judgements.

here's some info on what makes a good ceo, when you read them see if you can find anything like this currant governing body.. http://onlinebusiness.about.com/od/dailyoperations/a/5-ceo-traits.htm.

For me The "governing body" are just puppets, fronts of the corporation....there must be a family out there filthy rich thanks to the Watchtower Corporation

warped logic from the memorial talk

by why144000 in

jw
friends

speaker said we should not partake because when jesus arrives he will take the remnat to heaven and the memorial will be no more.

just as we will not partake then (because the memorial will not exist) it is only logical that we will not partake now.

warped logic at its finest!.

As Christians we are not a big family, we are the body and Jesus is the Head.

I found out a JW friend of mine has an addiction to torturing animals!

by Vienna Angelika in

jw
friends

last night i found out a close jw friend of mine takes delight in watching animal torture.

i am an animal lover, and i dont know what to think.

i dont want to end our friendship because this friend has been very accepting of me.

Bella15

Wow....sickening...he must have been abused as a child.....perhaps animals were involved in the abuse or were in the house of abuser.....I know of a case this person hates dogs because the abuser used dogs when this person was being sexually abused as a child for years...she killed a kitten and on purpose kill a gold fish, hit dogs. Etc. not kidding. Weird behavior. She got help and now loves animals.
