  elder friend of mine texted me asking what my rc attendance was 2 weeks ago (family and i streamed it since wife is not well).

  he told me that his rc in the jersey city assembly hall last weekend was low.

  co told them that around 2600 were the total from 16+ congs that were assigned.

  Not long ago, WTC "reassigned" some seasoned Convention Dept personnel. The organizing experts are greatly diminshed now. And it shows!

  Guaranteed way not to get disfellowshipped

  if it’s looking like someone may be disfellowshiped or announced they are no longer a jw and they don’t want to be shunned they just want to fade without being shunned - just say that would make me suicidal .

  simple.

  in the new shepherding book it says if they say that then don’t go ahead with it.

  They shun me - and it is a GIFT.

  I wouldn't have it any other way. I am free of their toxicity and doing well - never been happier!

  Did WTC really leave the UN as an NGO? One corporation of theirs did, but they joined initially for a reason and that reason still exists. WTC creates corporations like Hunter Biden creates precious works of art (sarcasm).

  It cannot be denied that they are supporting the OSCE. As well, they don't denounce the UN with the zeal that they once did - in fact they rarely utter a word of criticism for the UN. Sounds to me that they are still very much involved with the entity they claim is the Wild Beast.

  Of course JW apologists do not want to admit any of this. That degree of blind loyalty appears foolish to me but what do I know? I am happy, living a life that I am not ashamed of.

  DOYKL - wow! That is just incredible! I bet that little flock is getting a reaming from the assigned COs! I have seen more people in a VW than there are in that group.

  The currently missing 'Titan' submarine. What do you think?

  by SydBarrett in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  any opinions are just speculation, but my guess, being morbid, is that there was not a hull breach and implosion (although that would have been the most merciful fate for them), but instead the amateur level of building this thing meant that it lost power and communication and got itself tangled in the titanic's wreckage or is sitting on the actual seabed with no way to release ballast to resurface.

  terrifying.

  what's your gut feeling?

  Geeez Simon! They’re not even confirmed dead yet for heaven sake, and you’re already saying what most of us are thinking.

  Rattigan, I once viewed the assemblies and conventions as mixers for finding a wife. But now even that seems to have gone by the wayside. They now serve as revenue streams only sprinkled with a little control for flavor.

  All questions can be answered by "Logan's Run".

  Logan and others were happy living in bliss until they turned 30, and faced death. They were happier when they broke out of the domes.

  I am only sad because I did not leave the Org sooner than I did. I have no illusions about false bliss experienced while a subject of WTC.

  Blondie - I also recall WTC claiming that (now that you mention it). At the time I thought it was a disinguous claim. Glad you remembered that!

  If you do send a letter, here are a few options you might consider:

  1. Include a bill for reimbursal of all the contributions you made while in. Itemize carefully and indicate it should be paid in full in 30 days or else...

  2. Tell them Jesus told you to do it. Be as authentic as possible.

  3. Write it in crayon and draw some pictures - stick figures of you.

  4. Make a fold out and use Michael Jacksons face.

  5. Put a picture of a really cool sports car and say this is another reason you left.

  6. Ask if everyone you knew was able to get over the STD's they contracted on the last Intl' Convention - be sincere.

  7. Ask if they could drop by the local Catholic parish where some kind fellows were asking for a visit. Give the address. Make it believable.

  8. Do nothing and live your life, find joy, have a great meal and an even better beer.
