Chaos at Brooklyn Bethel 12/2016
by James Jack inthis was how it was described to me yesterday by a brother who has been there for some 40 years.
"everyone is about gone; the governing body is set to leave within 2 months; the kitchen and laundry personnel are gone and i have to fend for myself now.".
"also the aggravation of 4 to 5 business men in suits with clipboards daily checking out the watchtower properties.

Do you understand that if you DA it is the same as being DF and your family members are required to shun you?
Are you prepared to be cut-off from your mother and brother for good?

by Atlantis inpetra!
2015-12-17-boe already, you dear brothers have done so well, sending gifts both large and small.

Sorry WT! You will never again get our
circus $,
ice cream $,
Disney World $
Movie theater $
Popcorn $
candy $
grocery $
vacation $
education $
retirement $
The return on a WT investment is a big old heaping pile of GUILT as demonstrated by the OP.
Suck it WT! You will never get another dime from me! And shame on you for using children as pawns for your greed.

On the bright side, you can wear your shirt un-tucked, no jacket or tie required in the ministry.
Plus you can carry a man purse since you will needs your arms and hands free to climb the rugged mountainous terrain.

If they wanted JWs to go where the need is greater, they should NOT have laid off all of the Special Pioneers. Am I right?
Screw em, I am keeping my puppy.

We have a saying in project management. Better, Faster, Cheaper. Pick 2. If you want faster, then you must either pay more or cut corner on quality to get it done faster.
Could they be wanting to move up the completion date before their next annual meeting?

Long Story of my Life/Experience
by GrownMidget inalso, my wife has come to her limits of understanding me about the witnesses related grief i have been having.
she has told me many times to stop reading the ex-witness sites because i get depressed and become angry, which sadly is true.
it's not very productive to be sad throughout the entire day and then shout at your wife for the reason she has no first hand experience about, therefore how could she possibly know and help?

Welcome! I am so sorry that you had such a rough childhood. No child deserves what you had to go through. I am glad you were able to find the root cause of your feelings and come through it for the most part.
