when i begin to think about jehovah's witnesses and stealing from cesar my mind begin's to spin.
last year while walking through a very popular elder's house he showed me how he had doubled the house from the original blue print plans.. .
the inspectors of the county are incompetent or received a bribe, how can you add 1500 sq ft without the building inspector catching the error?
The government has been using Google maps to check the outside dimensions of your place. They also are known to check people claiming agricultural exemptions for fields and livestock. One rancher told me that if they don't see cow trails and you are claiming an agriculture livestock exemption you can loose it.
My daughter is still upset with her Granmother for making dvd's of movies for her on her recorder. She says the penalty is 20 years in prison and $500000 fine. LOL.
i have an aquaintance that likes to say, "once an a hole always an a hole".
i guess you could reason that whatever your religious views were, your core is you are who you are.. did your personality change for better or worse when you left the organization?.
My core values have not changed, but I'm have difficulty saying any words with the letter "R" in them.
things look to be hotting up here.
scary.. what are the chances of it all kicking off ?.
One North Korea saber raddling youthful leader huffs and puffs. One United States Nimitz class aircraft carrier responds. Priceless.
hey everyone, a couple people were asking about the november 5th, 2017 reference in the last hitler as the leader of the watchtower parody video so i figured i'd swing by and post a link to the latest recruitment video for the vast apostate army.. all my other videos are for my daughter and to help her if she ever questions religion (or jws specifically), this one however is for me.
i always get a really big grin on my face when dustin talks about the vast apostate army and i really just want to set him off for a few videos.
so i think this outlines the purpose of the vast apostate army and gives you a cool chorus to sing along to.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=corqwanyuos.
One of the millions of the Apostate Army ice cream truck sound cars covering the territories. See the apostates running ahead with the dreamsicle!!!!!! The ice cream truck harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
i haven't got much of a story.
i'm in my late teens, grew up in it, and got out of the society's regime by the skin of my teeth.
nearly go baptized because i firmly did believe it was the "truth" but because of a gut feeling that held me back, that i almost ignored, i didn't sign my blood to big brother.
Welcome, count yourself fortunate; I think its better not to have so long a story than what some of us have to deal with.
no, there's no jc scheduled for me, though i've heard from a friend on the boe that the inquisitor is about to get inquisited himself.
you will see who i mean in this thread: .

Sorry about what you are going through.
I had to deal with a "Snake" and his wifie some years back when they were disturbing the peace in the congregation lashing out at many. He was eventually removed as PO then as an elder, he moved to another congregation immediately and we wrote a letter not recommending him and he got appointed within a year. We (elders on the body) later said that if we had known how much trouble this was we would just have moved ourselves because frankly, it wasn't worth what it took.
Bottom line is that WTBTS doesn't want kind, gentle, Christlike elders. They want company men that will keep the rank and file in line. It seems the meaner you are and the more fear you spread in the congregation the more parts on the DC program you get.
can anyone comment on whether bethel is laying people off?
as in, sending folks out of bethel to go pioneer somewhere?
i have heard rumors but would like more detail.
"When you get laied off you qualify for unemployment compensation, these folks get NOTHING. But at least they have the holy spirit."
Correct, and they will have to work for 5 to 6 quarters to qualify for unemployment. They also did not have the WTBTS paying social security in, because they signed a vow of poverty. So better get busy.
at every meeting and every assembly i went to, a sister would always ask me "how are you?
how is your family?
" she says it with a gloomy face every time!
The older sister that thinks she should have been an opera singer. She stands in the next row back and sings really loud and holds the notes longer than everyone else.
"they have lived in a camper for the past nine months while putting in about 200 to 300 hours per month on the project" www.thetandd.com/news/local/jehovah-s-witnesses-unveil-million-assembly-hall/article_82f68742-6776-11e2-a641-001a4bcf887a.html.
"Church officials have touted the economic impact of the project, which is expected to host 40 two-day events each year. The estimated total attendance is expected to be 190,000 visitors a year, with each person spending an estimated $66 per day."
BULL
i am visiting this site for quite some time now and now i think it is time to tell something about me and my experience.
without giving away my name (i am in "fade mode"): i am from the small country they call the netherlands, the land of wooden shoes, tulips, cheese and too many inhabitants per square meter.
i am married with children and a second generation jw.
DeWandelaar thank you for your story. It is interesting when you get away from JW's that life gets more peaceful. May you have peace like a river:)
