  WifiBandit.....is he ok?

  just haven't heard from him for a while.

  it seems to me i don't remember hearing from him around the time he did the prodigal boys podcast interview.. hope nothing has happened post that.

  perhaps he's decided to lie low for a bit.

  The Red Headed League

  i am sitting here watching my pioneering wife get service time ‘writing letters’ to not-at-homes.

  she has a long list of names and addressees where the jws in field service never got anyone home.

  the letter is simply a word for word copy, handwritten on note paper, then sent in the usmail.

  I never did write any letters even when the CO would visit and encourage that. Total waste of time but hey everything else was also a waste of time.

  $5.5 Million to be transferred to World Wide Work from Assembly Hall fund

  by Sour Grapes in

  a letter was read tonight in our kingdom hall that the money that the circuits in the indianapolis area had in savings to build a new assembly hall will now be transferred to the www to build kingdom halls in lands where they are needed and a new assembly hall for us will not be built.. we had a beautiful assembly hall near downtown indy that was paid for.

  it was sold a couple of years ago.

  we were promised a new assembly hall to be built in southern ohio near the indiana border but they can kiss that goodbye now.

  ...and so it begins

  by Phoebe in

  2. friends

  i've had an email from a sister who tells me that out in field service this morning a long standing route call has told them she won't be taking any more magazines and doesn't want them calling on her again because she has heard about the jws child abuse scandals and cover ups.

  she was quite angry with them and said your elders say there is nothing wrong but there is and it will all come out.. this is the first time anyone i know of has been challenged on the doorstep and they were absolutely shocked and also angry.

  angry that the organization is not preparing them for dealing with this and for not being honest with the brothers about what is going on ie: lawsuits etc.. just thought i'd share that with you..

  No, no, no Finkelstein it's all about not bringing reproach on jehovah's name.

  Thanks Phoebe for sharing that! That's great to hear. Maybe just maybe it'll get some to start doubting when this happens to them at the door or cart witnessing.

  Wives With Unbelieving Mates

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i knew many witness wives with unbelieving mates who pretty much led a double life.

  “my husband says i have to go the workplace christmas party.” or my mate tells me i have to make a thanksgiving dinnner.

  or “ my mate insists i do things in the bedroom that i know the watchtower has talked against.

  Praying in the name of Michael the archangel instead of Jesus

  by krismalone in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just wondering what would happen if a brother saying a prayer in a meeting did it in the name of michael the archangel instead of closing the prayer with "jesus christ".

  since jw's believe michael is jesus would he be counseled?

  what if a brother used the name michael the archangel in their public talks instead of jesus?

  Bobby2446 you must be referring to the organization that absolutely does whatever they want whenever they want and their members can do absolutely nothing about it?

  hawaii false missile alert... the people of hawaii ran home and closed their blinds and drapes, were you hoping the missile would think you weren't home.

  it's a war head not a jehovah witness.....

  Fear of Dying

  by SplaneThisToMe in

  did anyone else develop a weird fear of dying and death after leaving jw?

  i recently left and have realized for the first time in my life that i’m not going to live forever.

  anyone else have these same feelings toward discovering your own mortality?

  At first it was difficult to realize that I will die but as time has passed it has gotten surprisingly easier. I'm at a point now where I don't even fear dying. Even when I was in I feared dying because I was never sure if I did enough to deserve resurrection.
