The biggest JW scammer of all times was Dave Del Dotto who in the 80,s and 90,s was a multi marketing tv guru who promoted no money down real estate books and tapes on 30 minute infocommercials late nite. He got me as a gullible fool cause I saw him at the kingdom hall with his huge diamond rings and mercedes. He later filed for bankruptcy himself and moved into the vineyard business in Napa. Opened my eyes though to this corrupt organization and those in charge that he got away with these schinagigans.

Have You Ever Been Scammed?
by minimus inof course we all were scammed while we were jehovah’s witnesses.
i’m thinking of ways besides religion.. a popular scam is to get a call from your electric company saying they overbilled you and needed to verify your name, address and social security number.
then they will send you your money back.

What’s Your Opinion of Adam Schiff?
by minimus ini’ve heard some people praise him for his zeal against president trump.
others have not been so praiseworthy toward the california congressman.. today he was so concerned that trump might be so emboldened now that he has won acquittal, that he suggests that trump might make a deal with russia and sell them the state of alaska.
😐.

I remember the 1984 Super Bowl where they had the first halftime original pole dancer, Mickey Mouse. Quality has come a long way, but for dancers, they have come only come from mice to cats.

The best special talk ever was Morris blasting tight pants and bright colored socks, and not following the fashion trend of Homosexuals maybe 4 years ago. This special talk woke up a good number of JW,s, so maybe special talks are good for something.

Angel's Advocate
by Under No Illusion insooo.... i've been perusing recent topics for a few minutes and seeing pretty much the standard jw fare these days - scandals, abuse, bad behavior, cover ups, bullying, shunning, family splits, torturous extrications from a cult, mind control etc.. i started to try and think of anything the dubs were doing that was actually beneficial to mankind in any way, and i'm struggling.
without being facetious, wtf do they do to make anybody's life better?
help me out here.. pros.

Were You Willing To Die For Jehovah?
by minimus inwe were supposed to be dedicated unconditionally to jehovah god.
we were willing to be persecuted to the death if need be.
if it came to taking a blood transfusion or dying, we were loyal to jehovah and would be a martyr for god.

I recall on an episode of "Life in the ER", there was an elder and his wife that were brought in after a bad accident near Austin texas and all they could do is yell out "No Blood" as they slipped in and out of consciousness . They came across as foolish, dying older victims, that interfered with their own medical care. It was embarrassing to watch and I think I recall that they didn't survive. This was probably 15 years ago.

Were / Are the Governing Body "Rock Stars"
by Number 6 inin 1976 when i was a young lad of 6, fred franz came to glasgow and gave a talk in govan a suburb on the south side of the city (for those of you who dont know).
our congregation hired a bus to ferry us all to the hall and it was standing room only.
being only 6, i have only the vaguest of memories other than an old man shouting and bawling from the stage.

I once connected phone service to Henchiel back in the 90,s at a plush apartment in Hawaii. As a fly on the wall, I knew then that he was just another tourist with plenty of money and wine and liquor bottles galore. I wish there were cell phones back then with cameras so I could have documented this encounter.

Should't they cancel their meeting tonight?
by carla ini find it kind of amusing that as worldly people who pass by a kh and know nothing of jw's tonight will think that the jw's are having a christmas eve service.
many churches have a number of services tonight; children's program, family/christmas eve service and maybe a midnight candlelight service.. you know how some jw's won't even wear red between nov & dec lest anybody think they are celebrating the holidays?
well then, shouldn't they cancel tonight's meeting so nobody thinks they are doing their own christmas eve service?

The only celebration the uber Jw,s get is to sleep a few minutes later on Christmas day as service is delayed to 10am. I can't see them cancelling a service just for appearance sake.

I almost moved to Niceville, fla being close to the gulf but instead moved to central florida to be near either coast. Real estate is affordable and not too many kingdom halls to annoy the general population. Lived in Hawaii when it was affordable, the weather was awesome but health care is shoddy. No poison ivy or snakes there but a lot of centipedes and frequent earthquakes, minor ones, to remind you there is a volcano close by. Hilo would not be too bad or maybe Pahoa area, naw too rainy and only one road out.
