  The best story of Cain and Abel comes from Steinbeck's novel East of Eden. Much better than the bible version.

  In the day (1960-70s) our family bought almost everything from Sears. Now, it has been years since I have gone into a Sears store. The last visit was only to find a restroom.

  The demise of a dynasty like Sears is an example to other organizations that there is no guarantee of future success.

  one of our friends in canada posted the following message to their circle of friends.

  "in our meeting last night, the coordinator read a letter from the canadian branch about the reorganized territories.

  all the territories in the fraser valley from hope to vancouver, about a hundred miles in all, have been reorganized to create larger congregations and improve the use of kingdom halls.

  Yet more proof that the end is near. I suggest none of us buy any green bananas. No time to ripen.

  the financial times had an article with the above question.

  the author asked various people to answer the question.. https://www.ft.com/content/169705e4-b4dd-11e8-b3ef-799c8613f4a1.

  while i was not interviewed, if i was asked this question i would say that i wish i had known in 1975, when i was 18, that i was raised in a cult and that the continued focus on armageddon over my lifetime was a cruel joke.

  Stealing the lives of youths by the Watchtower is a despicable act. Children need to be provided the guideposts for life's journey. Everything from the Watchtower relates to stifling their journey for their own evil purposes. I was caught up in that cycle, and it took me half my life to realize the evilness of the Watchtower.

The rest I could have figured out if I had only known that I was taught a lie my whole life.

  What do you wish you had known at 18?

  Thank you for sharing Minimus. It sounds like you are still working out some issues. I have also had conversations in my dreams with my long deceased mother.

  (How) Will The Slow and Subtle WT Internal Shift Affect Us?

  by Solzhenitsyn in

  2. beliefs

  as a "deep pimo" i can say that there is a confirmed re-branding.

  the coordinators committee formed a focus group from service and teaching committees.

  the results of that group roughly three+ years ago, with gb approval, trickled down to the other committees and eventually into what we have been seeing before our eyes in the org and local congs.. pick an organizational level and see the shift.

  "At the branch's direction, we're not going to even look at the PRC's of these men."

  I heard a CO state this in an elder's meeting in the early 1990s. I did not believe him then, and I don't believe anything has changed now. This organization is obsessed with made-up numbers.
