Yes timelord, I have the same question. Of course they say they need it for their own TREMENDOUS growth, not for legal fees and settlements. There's no way anyone can know where the money is really going.
Well good thing I don't really have to worry about it, since it's no longer MY money. :)
kill me.... it's hard to put into words just how badly i do no want to sit through this 3 days of bull $hit.
i will appreciate any and all words of condolence, humorous, serious, or otherwise.
thanks stayedaliveafter75 !.

To the r&f...drippy treacly sweetness.
to the body of elders NOT to be read to the r&f 'give us all your money and give it now!!!'
Also, how do people know the money is truly spent on the 'tremendous need' for kh's and assembly halls?? And aren't they legally responsible for showing exactly where their money goes, as a 'nonprofit' org? I know that every charity I donate to has to have a breakdown like this available to the public. How about jw's?
i just got a call from a friend who informed me that a brother whom i've known for a while and is an elder, just found out last night that his wife of 20+ years declared she was gay, and left him..
i still need to confirm but my friend is very reliable and was close friends with the family.
heres the thing, she spent 20+ years with this man, has children with him and now decides she wants to follow her heart.
since starting to wake up, i can't help notice how so many talks emphasise preaching, increasing your hours, pioneering etc...with a hefty load of guilt on the side.. i always noticed the guilt, but now i'm noticing how talks that seem to start out on another issue always seem to come back to hours!
visit talk seemed to start out about persecution, trusting in jehovah etc...but the main thrust in the end was, 'do more hours, pioneer, don't get an education or pursue a career, don't get distracted, hooray for the pioneers!
if you dont do more hours you will be 'the sort that shrink back to destruction'.
this may have been posted before.
however, if you want to read the article about jw shunning and denial of this practice, then have a read.
there is mention of redefining "charity" in terms of how that operates.. http://www.smh.com.au/national/jehovahs-witnesses-a-cruel-cult-20130315-2g5x3.html.
..you had been away from the wt for a time.
i saw a quote tonight and it leapt off the page for me.. "now i know what it feels like to be part of a circle of friends, part of a group.
its a very different feeling than i have had before and it feels wonderful and right'.. spoken by a lady after being released of her heart "wall" that she had established for protection.. + comments please if you like.
i am initially thinking of the major religious institutions of christianity , catholic ,many branches , church of england , and the major protestant religions , too numerous to mention here.. after all their is 40,000 plus christian religions in the world today ?so obviously j.w.`s are not the only false religion .. so my real question is really , to do with the mainstream christian religions , why are`nt they more aggressive in their condemnation of the jehovah witness religion for their obvious failings ,flip backs ,contradictions ,prophecy`s that never eventuated , end of the world predictions ,re-inventing their past history , even distancing themselves from their past history , and their founding members , such as c.t.russell and j.f.rutherford whose policies they now reject... they need to get on board and bleed it for all it`s worth .. smiddy .
we pulled into a hotel parking lot saturday around 6pm on the return leg of a wonderful family vacation to new england - an then fate stepped in---a man in a suit got out of a car with the rest of a picture perfect family.
i immediately noticed all the name tags--- and my blood pressure spiked 50pts- damn!!
i was booked in a 4 story hotel full of jws-- the only time they took off the name tags was in the swimming pool- they were so proud of themselves.. at 6:30 am the hot water went cold in the wife's shower- what do you expect on the 4th floor when a herd of jws is trying to get ready at the same time?
Thanks for the correction oppostate!
Cojones :). I will not forget! Unless I want to tell someone they have some very big boxes. Then I will use cajones. :)
i was told that today by a jw...no more to say.
Well, WITHOUT oranges, or any citrus, you can get scurvy...Which is characterized by terrible diarrhea, and NOBODY, gay or not, is thinking about sex when they have diarrhea.
Coincidence?
Oranges=no diarrhea=sexual desire=possible gay sexual desire
no oranges=diarrhea=No sexual desire=no possible gay sexual desire
