The elders are 'letting me fade'

by TableForOne in

i attended my last meeting in january 2014, having realised that i'd been lied to for 20+ years (i'm now 43 y/o).

rumours spread of my 'apostasy'.. in may, cobe contacted me inviting me to a private meeting with elders at the kh.

(no mention of the meeting being a jc).

We are an Evil Aposta-Family

by Skinnedsheep in

in the last 6 months my family and i have stopped attending cold turkey.

it is incredible to me to see how our so called friends have dropped us like we were a snake covered in spiders.

we actually havent really said anything to anybody about why we stopped.

Awesome. Wish I had done the same thing as you age (woke up). Then maybe my son could have been on a few sports teams in school and had some girlfriends. Maybe I would have done more to encourage his education. I spoke with him recently, and he is ok with all the lost years (does not blame me). Up until recently, I was always more worried about what he had lost during his childhood as a JW, but recently, I realized that I lost out on a lot of normal parent/child events too. Trying to get past the anger....

National newspaper interview with JW's using the JW.org trolley

by Gorbatchov in

a dutch national newspaper (trouw) published an interview with some jw's using the jw.org trolley near the trainstation of utrecht.. the local coordinator of the trolley work acknowledged that many witness are not enthusiastic about preaching.

it's a wide spread rumor in our organization.. but the witness elders will remind them personally that preaching is nessasery.

then there is an question asked about the witness selection procedure for the trolley work.. the good looking pioneer sister answered she can imagine the need for selection because nobody would take a book from an old age leaning forward woman without teeth.. g..

Love it: coordinator of the trolley work. Must look nice on a CV... A whole new category of work related titles. Assistant coordinator, Senior trolley person, junior trolley person. Trolley repair team, etc...

DC (Landover) Convention in August

by insearchoftruth in

wonder how many who are attending realize that the payment that the wts is making to have the convention at fedex goes directly into the redskin's bank accounts.

i know my wife finds the name redskins abhorrent, not sure if she has made this connection..

Thanks for the update OEJ. I just remember at least it had AC.

Just curious, haven't been in the states for 10 years. Is Fed-Ex field where the skins play or a new name for Landover - what used to be the Cap center. I remember going to the cap center. Do they have a new stadium in DC for the football/baseball games? Should be toasty, if open air.
