ok i'm ready for the transition.
i am not writing anything to anyone or writing some dumb letter.
the calls and visits trying to get me to come back will soon follow, the family guilt trips will intensify, loss of friends- really more like cult member associates, how the hell am i supposed to do this?
Exactly.
I don't plan on telling them anything other than I need a break and I won't even bother responding to their calls.
The worst obstacle will be family. They're the main reason I can't just leave. It'll hurt them and they won't understand because this damn cult has them blinded completely. I hope it collapses soon, but who are we kidding. They're not going to. They have way too much money and lots of years of experience manipulating weak minds.

it’s quite affirming to see the horrific material that they’re serving up at the convention this year.
aside from blatant homophobia, the scenes at the end of the convention that are discussed on another thread stoop to new levels of fear mongering.
it seems to occur to nobody inside the organisation that this kind of material could trigger fear, deprsssion, anxiety, stress.
Yeah the whole time I'm thinking... Where did they get this rifles from? They were not just a random type, they were a very specific type of fire arms. It wasn't just two pieces of iron put together to make them look like guns, they were actual gun models. Where did they come from????
september 7, 2017 to all congregations in the united states branch territory re: donations for disaster relief work.
I had to sign on just comment on this.
Most donations. water, clothing, food, etc. have been donated by congregations around the TX area affected by Harvey. No funds, that I can see, have been donated or expensed by the WT. Food and everything else related has been supported by the local congregations that were not affected.
It's just a money grab people. That's all.
i am enraged..... two older sisters sold a property and gave the entire sales amount as donation to this printing corporation.
how much is this corporation going to take from these poor people??
these old ladies think they did a great and wonderful act towards wt as if it was given to god himself.
It is extremely frustrating to see these things. So, now the financial burden is so much worse without that money.
It's not a few thousand dollars, we're talking between $50k-$100k. That would've made their last days so much easier in terms of proper care and facilities.
And the worst thing is that they feel they did such amazing thing for the society. Too stupid, not them but their actions for this publishing company that keeps getting richer and richer and taking from those who barely have anything.

Now, a family member has to use their own funds to take care of them. They could've used that money for the older sisters; last years and it would've helped with the financial burden of taking care of them.
Unbelievable.
we let the qualified buyers participate in a competitive bidding process and see where the market goes with it, devine told the eagle.. doesn't this logic reflect the same expectation of gambling or buying a lottery ticket?
you don't know if you are going to win big or if you're just going to come out even or lose your $1 investment.. how do they know there's not going to be another market or housing crash the next day and get pennies for their properties?.
how can they honestly say: "...see where the market goes with it" and at the same time condone other for playing lottery tickets or gambling or leaving things to chance like not getting higher education.

I don't think I'm making any sense but I hope you get the point.
watchtower released at tv.jw.org a new gb video with samuel f. herd, with the theme:.
why reduce the number of special full-time servants?.
it seems there is a reason to release this special message.. http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodstudio/pub-jwbrd_201511_4_video.
Why is he reading the whole thing? Was he not prepared? He needs to work on his public speaking skills....too bad the school was eliminated!
bethelites news news betheliteson friday 50 brothers and sisters at bethel bethelites argentina, took their last breakfast together before heading out to their congregations.the bethel own patterson, new york, an undetermined number of bethelites that they were notified had a week to leave bethel and become regulate pioneers in their congregations.a couple of brothers they sold us everything told they had to go to work where there was more need.
a couple of months left to work on construction projects of kingdom halls in needy countries ago.
they have been told it is over.that's how fast things are changing toward the end.we are on the verge of incredible things, so any change is not surprising.is our lord faithful and discreet slave receiving instructions regarding the next future?
So, the sister used to work in a dentist office at Bethel and she is happily accepting her new role as a regular pioneer to serve where the need is greater.....
heard 4th-hand, but from a full-on believer, so not likely to be an "apostate lie":.
apparently, at bethel's morning worship this morning, it was announced that all worldwide wts construction is "suspended" for an indefinite time, except for the new world headquarters at warwick.. also, the "relocation" of remote translating teams is also suspended.. finally, there will be a "worldwide" reduction in bethel personnel.. all this came to me in a non-english language, and,as noted, 4th-hand.
so it is possible something may have been lost in translation and/or in the multiple steps between bethel morning worship & me.. but if true, it would be quite stunning.
