Ray Franz could have certainly crucified the WT by doing bigger press time in the beginning when all the press wanted one of the Brooklyn papal class. SBF your observations are correct.

How do you get over all the things that you missed? The stuff you can't get back
by JW_Rogue inlook my life is not bad but sometimes i just think about all the normal things i missed out on.
and no i'm not talking about christmas and birthday parties.
i'm talking about your first kiss happening in your twenties instead of your teens.

I could dwell on a wasted 27 years or be grateful they get no more. We bred children while in the church, attended funerals , even when we leave we still keep some decent things but just the generic kindness principles.

Going "Hollywood" not helping!
by eyeuse2badub ingoing “hollywood” hasn’t seemed to help build any enthusiasm for the wtbts.
think about it, jw’s now have their own studio to make videos and cartoons.
the ‘kingdom’ dirges (songs) have received a makeover to a bit more modern tunes.

It's the movies that will reveal the cult propaganda to the fullest extent, the bunker video is off the charts , then Sergi not being allowed to join the orchestra with his violin. I honest believe the more movies they make the more some will wake up to this manipulation. The digital apparatus is anti everything, anti gay , any hobbies, anti neighbors, anti family ,parents not even answering ph calls from their non church going children . They the GB are getting more brazen in their daytime fairytales.

What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?
by Funchback inthere were many addressed to me.
for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.
i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

I was told by PO wife she couldn't car share with worldly woman to work because it would amount to spending to much time with wordly women on way to work. If this woman was this hard on herself imagine what the kids copped. JWs hands down beat the Jews on the amount of laws they follow.

Jw rouge they didn't spend much on mags all free labour, last mags I seen only had 4 sheets of paper folded in half with writing both sides , 16 pages of fairytales aren't going to break w bank. Bigs boys all have according to ray Franz had the bottomless credit card. It doesn't matter how much is in slush fund as long as card swipes . Winning lotto or having a card that never defaults is same thing.

CO Australia Malcolm Clarke pure dickhead. CO Australia Edmond Morassas seemed half nice but I cornered him one day and he lied and I caught him out because I pulled up and told him he was lying, they are pure clergy class .

DA myself to relieve great pressure?
by Isambard Crater inmy lifelong mental illnesses, fuelled significantly by the borg, are very bad at the moment and result in me missing lots of midweek meetings, but i haven't missed a sunday in years except the occasional vacation.. the nature of my mental and emotional illnesses mean that i, as a physically in and mentally out pimo, take to heart very painfully admonishment from the platform to never miss meetings, preach all i can, and so on.. okay, i report 3 hours each month on average and no elder has ever said anything, but when they make comments on the platform, i feel such great guilt and shame, but also anger, as they do not understand my illnesses and when i do mention my situation to elders, they kind of minimise and joke about it.. some other sisters in my congregation started "officially" not attending midweek meetings a few year's ago because of their own health circumstances, but i know for a fact that some elders look down on them for this reason, not showing real understanding deep down even if they do on the surface.. i have reached the point where i want to hand in a da letter as a cry for help, or more like a clear indicator to them that when i say i'm not well enough to attend midweek, i really mean it and it's not just an excuse.
sure, i'm only 42, but i can still be too fragile to go out at night with a 30 minute drive both ways..

Isambard, your cry for help is looking to the cause of most of your emotional issues, the Jw church has guilt tripped you in to believing they are the only ones who can help , well you know why you are crying out on here that is to be told no more cult propaganda, mind control, feeling of guilt is what Jw masterminded. Don't touch the the Jw forbidden tree.

The warriors of Warwick these elders are zealots to the cause, hunting apostates is duck hunting season ,well there are fine trained with writings that go back decades, centuries but it boils down to what was latest light which could have been 10 years more for some obscure rulings . I knew this crazy apostate years ago through his son , he was that deluded, he had the lot schizophrenia,bipolar, psychological problems, to stick it to Jw corp he proformed the to most comical things, he somehow bullshitted to rolls Royce England that the JW hierarchy in Sydney needed these custom fit outs rollers to do our fine clergy class , well these actually got to Australia and the docks rang bethel and said your machines are here . Well didn't that cause a stink. Then years later he ran for local politics as the local member of Jehovah's Witness for the community, off his tree mad .
im getting side tracked tight pants as to the elders do whatever floats your boat, spiritual warfare has its price , I'm a fighter but only on my ground, my house my castle you can grill them harder stuck at your house. Everyone just brings up google the jwdom falls apart.
