@Millie210,
Can you explain about the Malawi non-issue?
Hi Anders,
That the persecution was already over and we here in the States were still being told it was a current event.
Here is a link
Im not sure if jook has more info but I am always wanting to learn more!

Your brother did a really good job!
What is it they say? Art is truth?
He is using his creativity to express his pent up frustration it looks like.

I was shocked to find out everything that has been presented here on this forum actually.
As a "well read" Witness (meaning I avidly consumed everything THEY wrote) I didnt know how much Rutherford had to do with alcohol during prohibition, or how the Governing Body stood around talking in the halls about how to handle the "1975" blunder.
I guess one recent shock was to find out that all the letters I wrote in 75 concerning persecution in Malawi were a waste of time since there wasnt even any persecution then.
in the last few weeks it seems that instead of one or two new posters a week we seem to be getting several every day.
many seem to be long time jw's who are troubled by the path of the organisation.
this is really encouraging to those of us who have been here sometime.. welcome!
Just a comment on "the Halls are packed" concept...
The last time I went, the Hall here locally had lots of cars in the parking lot. I went in and their were lots and lots of empty seats. The Hall was less than half full.
If a family or a couple come in one car, a packed parking lot equals a full Hall.
If each car is being driven by one person, that creates a different scenerio.
how often do you, ........ no not that, how often do look at this forum ?
and how long does it last,....... no not that again (one track minds) how many looks are you addicted to a day?
keep coming back to see anything new, or do you look at posters who you know from experience have comments that will interest you?.
First thing in the morning...
last thing at night...
sneak peeks at work if I get a minute!
I especially like reading here on Sunday mornings while I drink my coffee. Ive learned more here than I ever did spending a Sunday morning in a Kingdom Hall.

Recently we've had a member share experiences at Bethel who pointed out how positionmeans so much inside Watchtower world. This video thing shows that in living color. When the two men walk onto the set carrying bread loaves the guy with the mic MAKES A POINT of sharing these men who may look like waiters are not actually Bethel waiters (as if anyone CARED!!!) but are, actually, hold on for it... secretaries for GB helpers. Oh my! Thanks the lord!!! I was hoping those two men were not Bethel waiters! I can now breath a sigh of relief for those two! Thanks God they are NOT Bethel WAITERS!
Now why on earth was pointing out that necessary at all? Because at Bethel position is everything
I thought the same thing. Waiters/not waiters...who cares? In what way was that essential to the theme of the "broadcast"?
Why the mention of their names? Along with their position? It is non essential if they are truly broadcasting to the flock.
So are they really that caught up in their 5 minutes?
Why yes they are.
hi everyone, i have been lurking for some time now and decided to open the box (hence pandora).
about a year ago i became aware of child abuse within the org, out of curiosity (just like pandora) i opened the box and the evils have been pouring out ever since regarding the org.
anyway, this came to a head last summer with the arc.
My dislike is aimed upward!
I dislike the leaders and the trickle down of my ire continues toward elders who mimic the leaders.
I have no dislike for the kind "doing the best they can" elders (rare) or for the people in the congregations. Their lives are hard enough already and if anything, they need my understanding and kindness - like any abuse victim would.
Most of my feelings are reserved for the young people. Such a horrible situation to be in when it comes to "should I stay or should I go".
hello all - i most likely won't post too often but want to introduce myself.
i've read this board for a long time and feel like i know some of you!
i was a third gen born-in (ne ohio), and half-heartedly believed until i was in middle school.
Hi Sissy,
So glad you posted and we know you are here. Look forward to hearing some of your stories!
