Venting some rage and pain.
by jemba inmy father the coboe and much loved member of the cult has ignored me and my children 17yrs and 8yrs old for much of my life and all of my kids lives.
i hate that religion for taking my father away and i hate him for being sucked in and putting all his love, time and kindness into the org and the stupid dubs and leaving himself too tired and uninterested in us.
my kids dont have grandparents, my mum is ok, she rings me once a month but kinda ignores my kids, just gives em $50 each a yr as a substitute for love and attention.. .

Your father is a sad, little man. He has riches right in front of him in the form of grandchildren and a daughter but he doesn't appreciate it.
You have every right to feel angry and vent.

Where does all the JW money go?
by LouBelle ini want to know.. does every kingdom hall, bethel and assembly hall belong to the watchtower, bible & tract society?.
each of those kingdom halls, bethels etc are built with the money obtained by that country's contributions.
if a loan is needed the bothers of that specific congregation pay off the loan.. the society has then an extremely huge amount of property worth billions of $$$$ who has control of all those funds?

LOL at George!!! I really hope someone starts asking questions about the money. There has to be at least some fraud involved.

by jambon1 ini've got to say that it repulsed me.. yet, i knew one brother/elder who always commented that he wanted 'to see the wicked being destroyed.'.
twisted beyond belief..

Apostates and the Holy Spirit
by iamwhoiam ini've heard elders say more than once that if the congregation isn't productive, there is probably an apostate in the midst; since the holy spirit doesn't seem to be upon the congregation.
anyone ever hear similar claims before?.

I mean seriously. God says, "You have a bad person in your congregation. I'm not going to tell you who it is, but I'm going to take my holy spirit and go away until you figure it out. Suffer, fools!"

I never wore my best clothes to a convention. Did you ever clean a stadium in preparation for an assembly? Yuck! And you have your congregation's cleaning assignment after the sessions, although I'm sure the fashionistas don't participate in that menial work.

They came knocking
by goddidit injust had a couple of jdubs at the door.
woman in 60's and guy looking mid-30s.. chatted for awhile but didn't let it get too deep cos i know it's pointless.
got the usual, expected, uneducated comments.. i made my sceptical, scientific views clear.. exchange email addresses with the woman (guy didn't have one) and emailed her an invitation to continue the discussion by email.. what do you think my chances of a reply are?.

The comments section is interesting too. Dorcas said " I see this latest example as an act of near desperation on the part of the GB. What does a person do when he feels he’s losing his grip or his control? He tightens that grip. I don’t know the reasons behind it, but I sincerely believe the GB feels threatened on some front and thus the need to keep us in line with with these types of parts."
Sounds like some are waking up.
