in talking to sparky the elder today (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/263862/1/an-elder-called-me-hes-waking-up-and-knew-id-understand-nice-for-him-to-have-a-friend) i found out he did the accounts for our congregation for years.
he said very rarely did the congregation meet its expenses without some well-off brother chipping in a few grand here and there.
the elders would also make up the shortfall.
There are quite a few mole elders. They are stuck in a cult due to family all being jws.
How do you think we got the Elders private book not allowed for any others eyes? Shepherding the flock of god came out in 2010 I eleven and can be downloaded from the web. Interesting read to say the least. My fav is jwfacts.com as it uses jw printed history to show that the WTBTS is not a channel a god would use to save people.

my hubby just informed me that he wants to attend the "big" meeting saturday instead of celebrating our anniversary.
seems i was right when i accused him that the cult means more to him than i do.
asshole.
He's making history in 2'places at the same time.

what is munchausen by proxy syndrome?.
one of the most harmful forms of child abuse, munchausen by proxy syndrome was named after baron von munchausen, an eighteenth-century german dignitary known for telling outlandish stories.
a parent will induce illness or injury in their own child and then take the victim in to the hospital to be seen as the heroic savior.. typically, the perpetrator feels satisfied when he or she has the attention and sympathy of doctors, nurses, and others who come into contact with him or her and the child.. because the parent or caregiver appears to be so caring and attentive, often no one suspects any wrongdoing.. .

posting about the wonderful preaching day on fb... posting about what they ate for lunch, snacks, dinner after preaching... posting about rubbing elbows with the co, do, etc... posting about getting into pioneer school... swooning over the latest gadgets, right after the meeting... being obsessed about what clothes to wear during the assemblies.... etc.. etc... being proud of having an sp, bethelite, etc relative... being unable to take pride in academic, secular, or other normal achievements leads to the above, i guess.. and it's not at all different from how "worldly" people behave these days... .
When I was a Jw I NEVER bragged, I'm too modest.

got caught at the supermarket (in between the martini olives and snack crackers ) with several bottles of hard liquor in my basket along with some red licorice by a sister that has known me for years.
still respects me, not knowing that i am in full fade mode, or at least not recognizably knowing.
anyway, when she sees me, her eyes get all big and she heads in my direction, nearly ramming my liquor laden cart with her vegan oriented basket.. "hey sop, how are you doing?
Stand for pure worship,.
More interested in mind control and the latest techniques that the WTBTS are using to control our family members.
It's like the survivors in the lifeboats of the Titanic being asked why they are looking back and watching the ship go down. I mean can you deny them from being interested in watching the hull break apart and sink to the bottom of the ocean?

there has to be atleast one elder here who was given the annual meeting recording, unless it's in some sealed box where every elder in the congregation has 1 key and all must open it at once, assuring nobody opened it prior to the day.
but if not, if one of you has it, be a boss and upload it already.
how funny if the whole thing was online 2 days prior.
I tell you someone could stream this LIVE to Ustream.com so we could all get it LIvE,.. LIVE I tell yah!
for free!!!!
eho will be the one,.. If you are going,. And plan on recording, there are apps furor apple devices and also android and look for "ustream"
takes about 10 minutes to create a free account and then end us a link to the broadcast room here and then one your app, log in, select they room WMD hit record and if there is 3G or LTE in the area it will auto stream the audio there. Video is also available but don't imagine you are that testy.
you would go down in HI story as the one that pulled it off. And they would not knowhich event it was coming from if you streamed audio only. Wn win

jw gonebad made this comment in another post:.
get a load of this audacious and brassy statement by the self-appointed fds in par 2 of todays lesson:.
it is vital that we recognize the faithful slave.
Heck yes it's vital!!!
Vital for them that is.

i have recently joined the site.
i was just appointed an elder this summer.
i started discovering the ttatt (the truth about the truth) last year after putting a few things together myself concerning the leadership and then doing some research online.. i really enjoyed jwfacts.com, jwsurvey, and others.
Aunt Connie,..
We all have a limited time on this Earth and living a lie and the stress it can cause will no prolong this life, it actually can shorten it due to this stress.
Do what you can to solve this problem in the least damaging way you can. When I saw you broke character I knew we were getting ready to hear some deep stuff. Just the pedophile stuff alone is damaging on so many levels.
Hang in there,....

this is how i imagine it can work: the baptized jw first gets the elders to acknowledge in written form that his previous baptism was in fact null and void.
* then later, coming close to baptism - preferably, the day of rebaptism - he changes his mind about being rebaptized (maybe he says no or remains silent when the questions are being asked, with this being video recorded).
so legally, he never was a legitimately baptized jw and therefore should not be anounced as "bro.
An elder writing you a letter stating that your previous baptism was null and void would be akin to a dealer at a table in Las Vegas telling you
that the money you owe the Casino has been reduced to zero and you are now off the hook.
