a little advice please.. it's now 7 months since i stopped going to meetings.
we still get regular calls by elders - at least every 2 weeks.
i can handle them.
"Plus I am fading, I don't want to give anyone a reason to report me" - Spot on!! Reply and thank her for her loving concern, but simply tell her that you are dealing with private & personal issues which you pray about. I'm sure she'll accept your reluctance to provide specific details. If she doesn't - start to hear alarm bells!
Discuss absolutely nothing about the org with any active J.W.'s, as their "loyalty" to the demonic cult will culminate in your suffering. Best wishes for you.

I found a box full of Kodak 35mm camera film and gave it to the police.
They said they'd let me know if there were any developments.
Turns out they had negative results.

in an all cash transaction, disney has purchased every share in the watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, inc.. their most recent in a slew of acquisitions including pixar, the muppets, marvel, lucasfilm and most recently 20th century fox, disney plans to "leverage their preexisting infrastructure and fan-base" for future content.. removing robert ciranko, who took over for don alden adams in 2014, disney is installing as president john lasseter, who already helms both disney and pixar's animation studios.
recently disgraced and on leave for allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct, disney said he was "just perfect" for the job.. plans include making yearly theatrical films with post-credits scenes as part of a crossover shared universe with preexisting watchtower film characters like caleb and sophia, the prodigal son, the roman family and the bad worldy boy from school (with nicholas king reprising and expanding his role), as well as an educational disney jr. show, "little chuck", aimed at toddler's, hosted by a young version of ct russell sporting a pretend beard..
Disney buys a Mickey Mouse religion - that makes sense!

@ snugglebunny - "JEHOVAH'S organization" in the scriptures? The word "organization" itself doesn't appear in the Bible, and therefore is unscriptural - just like "trinity."! :)

Many thanks again Wifibandit.
As Listener suggests, the Circuit changes probably imply that the Kingdom Hall bargain sale will rapidly increase over the next 6-9 months, so that the "consolidated/merged" congregations can be morphed into the new "consolidated/merged" Circuits.
i'm sure many of you are aware of the jwtalk site, a message board which has yet to succumb to apostasy (give it time).. some of the forums there are visible to the public, and i've seen some crazy stuff.
here is a sampling:.
"satan is really trying his best to make things worst for the witnesses, knowing the 6,000 years is almost up, from eve's creation!".
This is the 6th time you've posted this. Repetition for emphasis????????????????
sometimes i have expressed a longing for jw organization to tone down its rhetoric and become, well, nicer and more loving.
i have not been alone in my hope.
some posters have even said that if a wave of kindness washed over jw organization and, say, the shunning doctrine was modified (e.g., left up to the individual's conscience without fear of retribution from elders), they'd go back.
Steve2, I fully expect your plea to be answered over the coming months. The WTBTS's money-grabbing & doctrine changing chariot has gradually been accelerating over the past few years and must now be in top gear - especially their "Master plan" of merging and consolidating congregations.
The coup
de grâce (a
deathblow administered to end the suffering of one
mortally wounded) for many JW's will be when their Kingdom Hall gets sold from right under their feet. The media & authorities will help too!

best player i've ever seen!”.
Game or sport, doesn't alter the fact that he is a genius at it. I see people who are great or fantastic to watch at their sport and some can even be brilliant at times, but O'Sullivan's abilities on a snooker table are on a totally different level from every snooker player who's ever lived. He's not one in a million - he's one in billions.

All of my life I've bee privileged to see great sportsmen/women, but never one whom I would describe as a genius - until Ronnie O'Sullivan appeared. I was delighted to hear Stephen Hendry express the same sentiments I've felt for several years. Well done to him, and thanks and praise to Ronnie O'Sullivan for his incredible playing skills.
