I remember reading somewhere the letters back and forth from the London Bethel rep and the reporter from the Uk Gaurdian ( I believe it was) and how he busted the bethels reps balls when he caught him lying about the library card excuse.

the scene is familiar.. a jehovah's witness family with one member who has awakened from the lie.. the split comes down to an interesting wrong terminology:.
unbelieving mate vs believing mate.. .
the context of the entire family is as a jehovah's witness family.. damage has already been done.
Terry,
Marking this for later, if need be.
Also you said
"What has caused you to question Jehovah's loving arrangement?"
I think that some of the GB and elders think that the "g" in the last word is supposed to be silent.

I was thinking of how the WTBTS say the Harlot is riding the Wild Beast, as it were. (lol) I wonder exactly HOW the Harlot interacts with the Wild Beast?
Is there some other way that they interact OTHER than being a NGO? I mean that this would seem to be THE way to share their concerns with them.
Is there some other level of communication between them that is stronger than being a NGO?
WTBTS, you signed up with the UN and agreed to abide by their principles, you took the reins of the Wild Beast as you refer to the UN and all for a Library Card, really? I don't thinks this makes too much sense. Does the Un have some books that are not available elsewhere? I mean, your in New York, right?

the anonymous hacker group has proven themselves effective in the past.
lets wait and see if they pull it off again with the wts.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhyl4waps2o.

I think that the list has a lit blow torch pointed at it and can be triggered from any number of places around bethel.
NJY,
curious.
i know travel agents and on-line sites get a kickback or fee for booking hotels.
how much is this fee?.
So at this point no one has offered actual proof that the WTBTS has recieved any compensation ( other than free rooms) from the Hotels for securing rooms for the JWs to use during CA or DC.
I would love to know for a fact that Hotels have written a check to the WTBTS of local fund etc for securing these rooms. Anyone connected to a manager of one of these hotels that can make a phone call and see if there were payments actually made?
If not it is speculation.

sister kook's husband was admitted into the emergency room for a pain in his chest.
the phone rang on a sunday night, and elder joe asked if i could make a meal for "dear sister kook", "you know she has been a pillar for our congregation?
" i thought to myself "really, she seemed like a foul old bitch, angry at any noise a child or infant would make.
Wow!!
If this is true, she is one weird woman.
I wonder how the secret got out?
Were people saying things like "Dude,.. I put enough tranqulizer in her burrito to put down a horse, yet she still lives!" Or something similar?

in the latest october 15th 2012 watchtower (page 13).... "because of what they perceive as defects in the elders, some individuals who engage in serious wrongdoing in the congregation have refused to appear before a committee of elders assigned to help them.
this could be likened to a patient who loses out on the benefits of a treatment because he does not like something about the doctor.".
sounds like they're now trying to stigmatize those who try to avoid judical action.
I always try to stay away from Doctors that are trying to inject me with poison.
Always,.

although i haven't been a witness for over 20 years, it has taken me that long to finally feel brave enough to join another church (aka christendom) and begin researching my past beliefs.
all this research has opened a few old wounds, but mostly liberated me from a lot of quilt.
.
Welcome,..
Research is your friend.
If your looking for some more info to help clear out the cobwebs in your mind stemming from the JWs be sure to read a few key books that are highly recommended on these sites.
