CO explaining at Circuit Assembly how to measure neighbourly love
by Daniel1555 ini attended the circuit assembly this weekend.
it was boring as always (except for one positive thing that was said was that we should be gentle especially the elders).. there was one thing that left me absolutely speechless.
the co was explaining how to measure neighbourly love: by the amount of time spent in fieldservice.. the next point he mentioned was that we should strictly adhere to the disfellowshipping arrangments and not find excuses to speak to df family members.. .

Real-life experiences from around the world demonstrate that when people understand and follow the Bible’s practical counsel, they are better equipped to deal with the daily problems of life, including poverty
Oh of course, all those Africans dying of starvation just need to become Jehovahs people and the bible will lead them to food and a comfortable life, its all their own fault for not believing in Jokehovah....Of course!!... Why cant they see that??

Totes jealous!
Yeah feel sorry for the residents of that street it must be so busy. If the owner of Walts house ever wanted to sell it should be worth a fortune.
I need to win the lottery and come and check out all those cool places in the States.

Circuit Assembly Questions
by DATA-DOG ini have to go to the ca this weekend for family reasons... the only bright side is that i may spot some hypocrisy to share with others.
if my suffering helps just one person then it's worth the effort.
i know why the caged bird sings... .

Yes shunning inactive family and friends seems to be more prevalent now. I wonder if they are pushing that?

So what types of people actually flourish under the JW regime?
by Julia Orwell ini sure as eggs know which types don't:.
creative types: to do well at a creative industry one must dedicate a lot of time to developing one's talent, and as a jw one simply doesn't have time.
since writing a story or painting a picture doesn't contribute in any way to prestudy, meetings or fs results it's considered useless anyway.

People like my Mum who have no self esteem, gullible, prefer not to make any decisions or have a career and are reliant on others for opinions and beliefs to call their own.
People like my Dad who want to feel like theyre a good person while wielding a certain power over those who look up to him and pour praise on him.

True Stories from the Tower - Part 1 "From Anointed to Pedophile to Bethelite"
by BluePill2 inbefore i dive into the actual write-up of this experience, let me put some things straight.. i have thought long and hard if i should write more about my experiences during the 10+ years at different branches.
during these years i worked from financial department, service department, home office and different it assignments.
as you can imagine one sees and hears and reads a lot of stuff going through different stations in different countries.

Blue that was an amazing piece of writing. I hope it was as much of a relief to write as it was riveting to read.
Thankyou for choosing to share it with us. Hopefully it will help others write their own stories of their time in the borg.
Oh and I share the disgust yet lack of shock that many here feel about what this cult is up to behind closed doors.
Filthy scum that has taken our families!!

Yes Bill Hosking is right Cheese, I remember him in Adelaide in the 80's.
More recently in Queensland there was the only single CO in Australia... Is it Wayne Hunt? Smart arse prick who thought he was so hot, actually very unattractive but had all the single sisters falling over themselves to marry him, boy did he brag about that!! A few years ago he married one of his fan club. Wonder what their dating was like lol.
Im also remembering Eric Roseveare, my elder father called him row severe as he was a jerk who liked to rule the elders with an iron fist.
