Even if the WT$ went up in smoke tomorrow my relatives would still avoid me due to the embarassament they would feel for the way they have treated hubby and me. As far as I'm concerned the Borg is just where they belong. However, I do know some very sweet JWs who deserve be free of their enslavement. For them (and others like them) and for all the innocent children who have no choice, i want the whole organization to fold.

1975/Armageddon!

an old acquaintance way back from the h20 discussion board days has given me a link to a talk given at an assembly by the then district overseer duggan, that he had recorded on a cassette tape.
amazingly, he still had the tape and made it into and mp3 file and has shared it.

I had the same problem as kurtbethel. I assume this talk was given by Lester Duggan? If so, He served my ca. cong as a CO in the early 70's. He and his wife Aggie ate dinner at our house and we worked with them in FS. I liked them more than most traveling overseers they were very appreciative of our hospitality and sent a thank you as well.
Unfortunately, he bought into the 1975 hypeof the WT$. His wife died first. She was hardly cold and he remarried a sister 1/2 his age. He died years ago.

Is the WTS "refinancing" KH loans?
by doinmypart inmy mom's kh was built last year with a loan from wts.
she was talking about a letter to all congregations with loans from wts.
the letter was asking the publishers how much they can pay towards a refinance.

Sherah, This issue started the fog in my brain to lift as well. The elderly, the dirt-poor, the lowly, gave $$ they couldn't spare to pay for their KH. Then when some elders with a heart said no to pressure from the CO and DO to a costly remodel they knew would be too much for their cong,........ they were FORCED out of their KH in a land grab by the WTBT$.
The whole cong were forced to travel a long, expensive, distance to the meetings after the take-over. So much for the Biblical command to care for widows, orphans, respect for the elderly, not dealing treacherously, etc. etc.
The worst part is the LYING and the COVER_UP the $ociety uses to accomplish their ajenda. The unsuspecting flock is fleeced before they even knew what happened.

Who On This Site Would You Like To Meet?
by minimus inthere are a lot of interesting people that frequent this site.. sometimes, we get an idea of what the posters are really like in "real life".
and i'm sure i could be easily surprised by some that you think might be strong personalities because of their board presence, and in reality, they might be shy in a face to face setting.. i would enjoy meeting simon.
simon used to be terribly annoyed by my posting and now i think he's accepted with tolerance my being here.. farkel seems like a grouchy cantankerous fellow but i think he'd be very interesting company!.

Barbara Anderson is at the top of my list. I want to thank her for her tireless efforts and personal sacrifice in behalf of abuse victims.
I hope to meet the Flippers soon. I also want to meet the crazys here...... You know who you are! I want to drink with them till I'm blind and laugh till I wet my pants.

How do you feel about pranks/practical jokes?
by Chemical Emotions ini've always felt kind of torn on the subject.
but honestly, i don't like pranks.
in general i think they're unkind, especially when done to a child, an animal, an elderly person, or someone already stressed/distraught or not in good mental health.. i've always really hated two things: 1) seeing people embarrased.

I don't like them. I even hate the TV shows like Punked and others that pull practical jokes. I once caught my kids making a prank phone call. Let's just say they didn't do it again.
