Is this new donation arrangement for real?

by nugget in

just read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.

congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.

congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

D of S... You are a funny guy. ^^^^^

Your last sentence is just a string of words, that unfortunately, we all know. I want to throw after I read your last sentence.

In Death lies Glory

by BluePill2 in

i was alone at the new branch construction site in ticuantepe (nicaragua).

everybody had taken off for a weekend assembly in the capital and it was my turn to have watchman duty and guard the site.

we had dogs and i only had to walk around the perimeters and check all the gates and entrances.. suddenly a young boy appeared at the main gate, breathless and visibly nervous.

It hasn't been 2 years since I understood that I will die. So much has happened during that time. My sister died 9 months ago. I wake up and I think she is not here anymore to experience this beautiful day. I will never see her again. Her husband still thinks he will see her in the JW belief of a resurrection back to earth. The latest Watchtower of will you be able to marry your loved one again... Is so Watch- tarded !

I so want to have grandchildren. It makes me think what was the point of living? Of the agony? Of the struggle if I do not? To me the point of living means children and grandchildren and love and happiness and family. When you do not have those things, what do you have?

I am sorry for the young 20 year old boy who died. Watch Tower lied to his family and WT lies for their own gains. He is dead and gone.

Everything dies. I am happier to know the real truth. I can take it. It was hard, but not impossible to accept.

I try hard now, not to waste what precious time, counting down, that I have. As a person thinking I was going to live forever, all my desires were put on hold for what I was brainwashed to believe was a higher and nobler cause. Wrong, and I have to live with that.

Had an argument with my wife about tinkerbell :(

by BU2B in

one of my co workers mother made my 4 year old a blanket with the disney character tinkerbell on it.

as soon as i got it i knew trouble lay ahead.

i wanted to reason with her before my daughter saw it so as not to cause a disruption, but it didn't work out that way.

dogon ... During prayer at the KHall back in the 1970's, I looked down at the boys summertime shirts standing in front of me. The boy's shirts were a print with all Egyptian pagan images on them.

Totally an " untheocratic " pattern! I showed my ex, an Elder. He just shrugged his shoulders.

The father of the boys grew-up to go in the circuit work with his wife. Hi John!

The oldest boy, got his JW girlfriend pregnant. Her uncle was a JW District Overseer. Her Uncle actually came out and married them! Hi Wayne!

New Financial Arrangements

by Joe Grundy in

dear friends.

i never was a dub.

i am not a qualified lawyer or accountant.

LoisLane looking for Superman

Hi Joe Grundy, I want you to know that I value your opinion, especially since you have never been a JW.

I was born in, and surrounded by JDumism my entire life.

I really haven't gotten to know normal people, without witnessing to them, and that is not going to be any kind of a normal interaction between adults.

You and jgnat present logical and sound thinking, without it being filtered through any type of pre-existing WT twisted sayings.

There are a few more that were never JW's that post, and all of your comments are appreciated and listened to.

JW's are, sweet little abused sheep, for the most part. This excludes GB and other high ups that are in for their ego's etc.

Thank you Joe for taking the time to follow what WT/GB is up to, and caring.

A Thread for Cyclists - Where Do you Ride?

by cofty in

i took up cycing a couple of months ago just to get fitter and lose a bit of excess weight.. i bought a second-hand hybrid bike (weighs only slightly less than a truck) and fitted road tyres.

four or five times a week i will go for a ride after work for an hour or so.

i am fortunate enough to live in rural north england surrounded by limitless quiet roads.

Big Time Hypocrite

my dad told me this story long time ago.

there was an long time elder that is never married.

he got caught going to brothel one day after a brother followed him there.

LoisLane looking for Superman

I know a brother in the next congo to mine, where I grew up. A very nice couple, both JW's, but seemingly that was not enough??? lol

To free himself, he went to Las Vegas and got a girl. His wife just happened to be visiting the same Hotel with her Grandmother and saw them.

After he got back and confessed to her and the Elder's he got DF and they got divorced. I don't think she ever told him she saw him. She remarried a man of her choice and was happy.

Hi Janet if you are out there!

There was one missionary, right now I can't think where, and this "could" have been a branch overseer, was DF'd for visiting prostitutes. His answer to the question why? was he felt he deserved it after all of his many years of faithful service.

by cofty in

796 infant skeletons have been found discarded in a septic tank at the former mother and baby home run by the catholic church in ireland between 1925 and 1961.. unwed mothers were sent these "magdelene asylums" to be treated like criminals.

their babies - if they survived - were taken from them.

if they did not survive their bodies were thrown into a septic tank and forgotton.

Lol... Looks like you found yourself some fun. I have not been to the Carolina's or Georgia or Virginia.

I do not really have any Irish blood. Lots of English and Scottish.

Jeannette... Yes, Thank you. I just finished reading, educating myself very briefly on this subject. I am astounded. I had no idea.
