I am so thankful for people like Partisan to give us the inside reality.
This is incredibly close to being the Sopranos! How dispicable.

Just wanting clarification on the RBC
by joe134cd ini have been reading threads about how the rbc operates, so i sort of have a fair idea of what the answers will be.
but i would like to have a more direct answer to my questions.. where do the orders come from that a hall is in need of a remodel, or a new one to be built.. can the elders refuse a remodel or quickly built.. out side contractors are only allowed with rbc approval.
what are the consequences if say a kh needed a new roof, and secular contractor was hired.. is it a case that orders a given that a hall needs a remodel, and that the rbc will have total control, and look out for who ever gets in the way, and elders just have to simply comply.. this is the question i most want answered.

Funny thing to admit, but I was embarrassed when I was a JW... now, I'm proud to claim I am an exJW. Odd really.

33 percent of Americans reject evolution
by Simon inhttp://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-57616373-71/33-percent-of-americans-reject-evolution/.
that seems to be a disturbingly high number for a western / educated / developed nation.. does this have anything at all to do with america slipping behind in the sciences?
it seems hard to imagine they could not not be linked somehow.. no surprise that the jesus party (republicans) reject evolution the most.

The educational system here is pitiful. We are taught mostly WHAT to know and think, rather than HOW to know and think.
What is lacking, IMO, is a course on epistemology, and how to detect logical fallacies (and know them).
What is usually encouraged, is to shut up and learn by heart for coming exams. I have a lot of disgust for the curriculums of this country. -

The most disturbing Watchtower quote in 2013.
by never a jw ini am trying to put together the worst of 2013. the first quote that comes to mind is possibly your "favorite" too.
do you have any other disturbing quotes from the publications in the wt?.
elders who are reading this article can draw some useful conclusions from the account we have just considered: (1) the most practical step that we can take to prepare for the coming attack of the assyrian is that of strengthening our faith in god and helping our brothers to do the same.

Also the " Mentally diseased" one that they hid behind their Bible Translation, and in a matter of months, have erased from the New Revised Verion!

What does 2014 mean to you
by NewYork44M insometime in the early 1990s i made a commitment to myself that if the end did not come in 2014 i was going to walk away.
then i started thinking - if i waited until 2014 i would be 57 years old with very few options.
that is when i realized that i needed to make changes to get my life back.

It means I'm happy to have made it to 55. I'm also thankful for being free of the borg, and any other bible-toting religion.
Single, free, and atheist. What more could one want?
Happy New Year. -

Can a JW be accused of apostasy for just quoting scriptures?
by Island Man infor example, let's say an awake jw wanted to share ttatt about the true meaning of john 10:16, so he just posts on his facebook wall a couple passages of scripture with no commentary whatsoever - like this:.
"in answer he said: i was not sent forth to any but to the lost sheep of the house of israel.
- matthew 15:24.

If elders can get away with pedophilia in collusion with their comrades, trust me, they can get away with disfellowshipping anyone.
