I appreciate the answer life is too short!

I vaguely know who he is but I havent listened to him. I know he is held in high regard by people and after reading what you have said I can see why.

I wish I could say I cant believe how those elders wives stuck you with that single mom when you yourself were young and just making it but actually I CAN believe it. Sad.

Thanks for taking the time to type that out and for sharing some of your story with me. You sound like you value balance. I agree with you on that.

I wish I had been listening to Dave Ramey back than because I would have thrown out what Dave says back to him as loudly as he was talking. I just sat there totally embarrassed hoping no one was listening, I was to polite back than I now realize

What does he say? You made me curious!

I have seen from personal observation though, that people seem to afford what they want to...

JW Broadcasting is dying.

by John Aquila in

once a month about 15 to 20 elderly jw publishers would meet at the kingdom hall and one elder was assigned to set up the system so they could view jw broadcasting.

these publishers were long time pioneers, former elders, and long time publishers who know nothing about computers or the internet.

they are the last batch of those expecting the generation that saw 1914 or understood it--- to not die off.

This really burns me.

That is their truest and most sincere core group. Idiots!

Im glad your mom is not cooking but Im still mad at the thought of the skewed reasoning of the arrogant snots that call themselves elders.

To Kill A Mockingbird and Prequel

by Socrateswannabe in

jw
friends

are you a fan of harper lee's "to kill a mockingbird"?

i read the book as a child and have read it many times since.

miss lee obviously wrote the book to entertain us, and she accomplished that.

As an insatiable reader I love it when someone shares a book that has changed them in some way.

I like reading your thoughts on such a great book socrateswannabe!

P.S. I have a pet named after Scout.

Power blackout during the meeting tonight!

by stuckinarut2 in

it was so funny!.

the small rented hall our congregation uses had a blackout.

we think there was some construction work next door that caused it.. at least the glow of everyone's tablets and cell phones kept the place illuminated!.

millie210

I always got amused at the way blackouts were handled..

like it was SO amazing that everyone could stay calm and get through it. They even compared to to practicing for persecution LOL

Kingdom Consolidation and Sales are coming – Reliable Source

by thedepressedsoul in

i heard form a reliable source that a kingdom hall consolidation is going to be happening in the us.

currently they are looking at every kingdom hall to see if they could and should sell it.

any kingdom hall that has not been updated and is in a bad location (long driveway, not in a visible location etc...) will be sold.

Reliable information way ahead of time.

Great job the depressedsoul!

Shunned or actually...not treated much differently?!

by Ohiamfree in

so today on my way to work, i passed a faithful jw sister who i have met about 6 times and spoken to and was friends with a sister she spends a lot of time with, i looked at her and smiled and she looked through me.

i wondered if she knew to shun me.

i'm dating someone when i have no photographic evidence that i am free to remarry ;) let's ignore all forms of abuse and unfaithfulness...anyway!.

Uh-oh....you sound intelligent and strong.

YOU BAD GIRL!!!!!!

oops, sorry, thinking like a JW there for a minute.

Just Sharing a couple of experiences I heard in the last day or two about ones leaving the Borg.

by Crazyguy in

i was having breakfast with a friend and former jw just yesterday and he informed me that the place we were eating in is owned by a former witness.

the story goes as he tells me that the wife and husband or on the outs and getting a divorce.

now just so you know the state i live in, a divorce is not quick, mandatory waiting period etc.

WingCommander your story touched me deeply the first time I heard it. It is no less powerful hearing it again now.

My heart aches for how your mother was treated and for you as her son all alone in that parking garage.

In my being new here, when I read your story I began to realize how very many painful, horrific acts have been committed by this religion and its little enforcers the elders.

Your story made me feel less alone and less indignant.If you could handle this then maybe I could handle my sorrow. I guess it was sort of a turning point for me.

I am glad you wrote your experience out again. I hope it helps another "newbie" like it did me.

Oh and Wing...your mom would be so proud of all you tried to do for her. You are a good son and a tribute to her memory.

Did you know WTBTS applied for Holocaust compensation?

by umbertoecho in

did you know that the wtbts applied for these compensation funds?

i had no idea and if this has already been addressed then so be it.

i find it interesting due to the fact that so much is made of the jws being in camps during ww2 and nothing else is expressed about the other millions who died in these camps.

millie210

Well thats interesting...16,000 is a noteworthy amount.
