its been awhile since i've commented but i come by and read your posts about once a week.
so why do i need a pep talk ?
after almost 2 years into my fade these bastards won't give it a rest constant hang ups on my answering machine and today for the first time in about 6 months they come to my apartment complex but thankfully couldn't get in they did keep buzzing me so they were here looking for me.
Don't live in fear and hide from these people. Confront the scumbags who are trying to confront you, and hit them with this:
"Thank you for your concerns brothers, but I have private & personal issues which I can't discuss with anyone at the moment, but I certainly appreciate your motives and concern. If things change, I know that I can call you."
They'll get the message.
picture 185,000 people on the streets attending the biggest event in long beach.
there is a main downtown street which is the only way into the grand prix.
it’s chaos because it is not private property that can be contained; these are working boulevards with cars and people vying to get where they want to go.
Until recent years, the absolute priority of every JW was to preach the good news of the kingdom to as many people as possible, because the end was so close! If we didn't, we would be blood-guilty.
The "publishing of the good news" has now been gladly discarded by many JW's who can easily achieve their required monthly report time by standing mute at the side of a trolley - saying nothing to anyone about anything.
Their "witness" (aka marketing) is now to advertise the bright blue JW dot ORG logo.
from 2012 thru 2016, congregations in georgia and alabama collected funds to build a new assembly hall in south atlanta.
to date, 3.5 million dollars was collected and 75 acres was purchased.
the branch decided that this assembly hall was not needed.
C'mon guys, all your criticisms are unfair! The WTBTS/CCoJW is a charity, and charity begins at home.
Since "home" is now Warwick, isn't it logical that all the ca$h should go there?
"go, my people, enter your inner rooms, and shut your doors behind you.hide yourself for a brief moment until the wrath has passed by.
"(isaiah 26:20).
one of the questions that seem to trouble the governing body of the jehovah's witnesses in recent year is this: what will jehovah's witnesses be doing during the destruction of babylon the great?
(Isaiah 26:20) “Go, my people, enter into your interior rooms, and shut your doors behind you...."
(Proverbs 24:3, 4) "By wisdom a household will be built up, and by discernment it will prove firmly established. 4 And by knowledge will the interior rooms be filled with all precious and pleasant things of value."Were "interior rooms" being used to symbolically describe the the human mind?
(Both verses from the "old light" NWT)
from the jw.org global data page.
"upon receipt of your written request, after you provide sufficient evidence of your identity and enough information to permit us to identify your personal data, the applicable data controller will fairly consider granting the request by balancing the interests of the individual in gaining access to data or correcting or deleting data against the legitimate interests of the organization, including whether granting the request would endanger the organization’s right to religious freedom and practice.
we will also notify any third-party recipients of the necessary changes.. please note that your data may not be erased if processing is required by law or if the data may be kept on other legal bases.
Think about how many JW paedophiles would love to have their personal history deleted!

what do you think would happen if i verbally refuse to report my time?
it's been several months since i turned in my time and i think the elder got tired of asking me lol.
frankly, i think it's stupid that jws are required to do this.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Don't give the wolves an excuse to attack you. Be the opposite of the non-conforming sparrow - keep quiet.
Faders suffer when they have any kind of discussions with elders.
from one of our informants inside the watchtower.
(same person whosent us videos from the legal dept., accounting dept., pioneer school,and so forth.
) atlantis told him that he is walking on a razors edge,to be extremely careful.his email message:1. watch tower has no right to demand you to sign a consent form.
4. As many former members (disfellowshipped, disassociated or faded),
should submit a formal data access request to the congregation(s) they
served in and to their local branch.
5. All members who have been reinstated within the last 10 years
should also make a formal data access request.
Unless I'm mistaken, such requests will incur a fee by the WTBTS for their "administrative costs."
And since we know what the org's "drug" is, they will impose a charge.

Very many thanks Atlantis. I was going to use my "cover visit" to the KH to see this, but not now.
You have spared me from having to watch this in the company of the mind-numbed. How any JW with two brain-cells can not be repulsed at this smirking yes-man, is beyond me!
His weasel words should strike at their hearts and minds.
His opening words: "Our Kingdom Hall$ are truly preciou$ to u$."
Yup, so precious that your corporation is selling them off and depriving the sheep of a local KH!
