we didn't know what to put this under so sorry in advance but this is why we are here.
courtney was a co serving in another country when his father was dying.
All of us here will wish Courtney & Helene the very best as they start out on a new life - freed from the org's crushing shackles. May they get as much support as they need, now that they're on their own.
They must have been suffering as they woke up to dark side of the WTBTS.
The JW machine goes into its usual attack mode - shoot the messenger, but don't address what he said. (because it'll probably be true!)
Try this during a conversation with a JW - perform a fake sneeze and see if they say "Bless you."
I've heard JW's instinctively say this to sneezers over the years.
for those who missed last weeks clam meeting, there was a video played that was amazing ... however not in good way.. we are all aware how thousands of full time bethelites world wide got the boot and put out onto the street.
some having giving most of their lives to the organization, but often with no real way to support themselves other than to depend on the generosity of others.
so when this video talked about how special it would be for those who could step up and become a commuter bethelite, it made me think how calculating the governing body must be.
Wow, at 16 minutes in the video Brother Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock) talks to the congregation - boldly going where no woman has gone before!
the department for work and pensions has acknowledged that some universal credit claimants struggle to pay for the amount of ink which their printers use when completing lengthy dwp forms.. as such, these claimants can now apply for ink capacity benefit!

another mind-numbing edition with instructions on how adult jw's should be conducting themselves as "christians.
i did like this paragraph though - after some reading between the lines:.
page 11, par.

I did like this paragraph though - after some reading between the lines:
Page 11, par. 12 - God’s organization the WT parasite-elite has made many adjustments reversals of "truths" in recent years, including the use of new tools long-existing technology and methods in our ministry, the format dumbing-down of our midweek meeting, and the way we build, renovate, and maintain sell off our the org's Kingdom Halls.
god says otherwise.
therefore who will you trust... the word of god or satan?
satan uses many people today to corrupt the things of god, as well as god's word.
@ JW Answers: You only provide answers to your own questions and then refuse to engage with anyone.
Some might say that your name should be changed to JW Troll.
Christians were instructed to obey the following: 1 Peter 3:15 - "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear." (King James Version)
Why don't you practice what you're trying to preach?

Found it.
... to "abuse" the name of mohammed in a similar way as they do with the name of jesus christ?.
i'm prompted to ask this having recently watched a police action movie where "jesus f------g christ" was twice uttered.. in the western world at least, christians & christianity appear to be fair game, (no objections here) but islam verges on being sacrosanct - at least it appears so in the uk..

hello to all of you,.
here goes an introduction of a new member.
i'm 45 years old now and we wake up my wife and i from borg a few years ago.. i'm living between spain and france, due to my work.. it has been always refreshing to listen and read many of you here.. i hope it will continue the same..
Welcome FM! Looking forward to hearing your experiences.
Lovely to see the great increase of faders/leavers continues to speed up.
so our family fade is well under way.
we changed congregations as regular attenders and left in good standing with those giving hugs and kisses simply knowing we "needed a change".
we moved to a neighboring congregation that is out of our original region knowing we would see no one and the two boe's wouldn't really have immediate dealings.
If you aren't worried about any repercussions, tell them anything which the org doesn't want them hear. Then just sit back and wait for the smelly stuff to hit the fan.
On the other hand, if you want a peaceful fade with the least amount of hassle, rinse & repeat the following to any JW who tries to "encourage" you with an interrogation about your spiritual weakness:
"I appreciate your concern, but we're having to deal with private & personal issues which we can't discuss with others at the moment. If things change, it's good to know that I can call on you."
Your cold-shoulder stance will soon become common knowledge in the KH. Best wishes.
