  I Received A Phone Call Out Of The Blue, Spiritual Checkup Or Fishing Expo?

  when my two pastors show up, i am going to ask them these questions in a different way.

  we loose too many jws from apathy of the "holy-happy and self-assured members,the new pharisee class.

  focus needs to change to check up on the under to non-performing magazine salesmen.

  Size, something starts to burn inside of us once we figure out we were lied to (facts were throughly omitted from the Mags) from the start. I agree it's going to be like floating a lead ballon, you have the right attitude and Blondie alway's says "don't caste perlas before swine!".

  Feeling a cold coming on, maybe I can arrange for another visit next near some time? Why get my blood pressure all boiled up when I know they are trying to clean up their "Inactive, Irregular and Questionable" publishers off their list? Ideas sound good at the moment, I read today where the most damning thing a person can do is "text another person, mate, girlfriend or employer while they are pissed", acting in the moment creates tornado of shit flying everywhere.

  Thank's for the counsel, at night I think of how stupid I was even when the "light" was flickering dimmer and dimmer, I stayed with the cult.

  Do You Regret Reporting Your Elder, Elder's Wife Of Misconduct? It never works!

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  one thread is heading down "do you regret confessing?".

  do you regret telling the brothers something because of the "matthew 18" passage about "going to the elders if your brother/sister has sinned against the hall?".

  i told the circuit overseer about a coverup with old "holy-joey", the harsh judge of sexual sins of young witnesses.

  holy-joey" is still an elder and I am fading faster than the Watchtower's printing press equipment.

  I like the bitch sessions we had, discussion of potential ministerial candidates and how they would have to kiss our ass just right, or they would be permanent microphone runners.

  Microphone runners are often former elders who commited adultery, they act like something they will never be again. We had one guy whose black-book of hoes could make Charile Sheen cry, still he pretended he was an elder by carrying around his big bookcase, rudely speaking to the young microphone runners and sound-stage kids. Why would a wife stay with him after five extra-martial affairs, Christendom usually dump's a minister if they committ adultery, Fundamental Christians have tried to remove sexual deviants from their "elder, Pastor list". We JWs might allow pedophiles the chance to serve again (according to the new letter), "oh wait, we have been doing that since 2000!" until the lawsuits starting to sue our Org!

  What a Motley Crew of people we were, oh the times we had my friends!

  Would YOU Have Died For The Witness Religion?

  would you have not taken a blood transfusion or a transplant because the gb said it was bad?.

  would you have imitated the jws in concentration camps and died for your beliefs?.

  Yes, in a UN Concentration Camp I figured I would die. No UN CCs are here, I was sucked into a cult?

  It is OFFICIAL they want MORE MONEY : NEW ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

  by raymond frantz in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i just came back from the meeting .although the local announcements have been abolished recently as an item for the second part , an elder came on the platform to announce that the society needs more money and there is a letter on the noticeboard for all the congragation to read to this effect.

  although the announcement was read half heartedly (this elder's daughter is an apostate ,it looks like he knows what's going on) the implictions are dramatic .

  the society in brief,requests any brother or sister with funds sitting on personal accounts to loan them to the society ,he didn't go into any specifics but i will take a picture of the letter next time and make it available here .. i'm not amazed that they're asking for money ,i thought it will happen sooner or later .what i'm amazed is that 99% of the congragation are oblivious to the financial crisis that the society finds itself these days and the reasons why .i can see the future now .the watchtower will be the fist part of the babylon the great to go down in a blaze of scandals and financial troubles !.

  This thread infer's the Watchtower is begging for cash to make the Candice Contii escroe account. Nothing was said this is the annual JW "Plan to Die and Leave your unrighteous assets to the Org."

  I might be wrong but I got the impression this had to deal with the lawsuit and bond fee, which the Org does not want to pay for. They have the $24,000,000 Million and don't wish to spend $90k on a bond.

  I told the Circuit Overseer about a coverup with old "holy-joey", the harsh judge of sexual sins of young Witnesses. This guy was brutal until his daughter turned Lesbian which he tried to cover over with a super-super private reproof. The issue was brought before the Body, more sex participants were introduced to the elder body. holy-joe kept his position and I really got the shaft for letting the CO know there was a sin against the congregation.

  Moral of the story, don't tell on the elders you work with or you might find yourself "persona-non grata"!

  When pressed for details instead of the usual "was alcoholinvolved" question, he liked what he heard.

  Did she tell him she was good at the "oral review". she like strange sex and liked it alot?" She passed his interview with flying colors and now this elder is getting his world rocked. That's my theory, I'am stickin to it!

  I find things strange in the JW Organization. We allow friends (mostly weak and underperforming publishers to disappear without a trace) as we track down drunks, schizos, emotionally thrashed men and women, elderly to ancient lonely men and women too.

  Why do we allow members coming to meetings drop off the radar, without asking why? Don't they deserve the same effort and spirit we were using to hunt down the drunks, winos, bong-jockey's, emo-men,women in field circus?

  I laugh at their business model because it makes no sense! Why do JWs allow their own to leave the Org without putting up a figh? What if the weak ones were shown a little extra love? Instead of wasting money driving in circles in Kingdom Rummage sale, how about a new program like "take the weak ones kids bowling this week? Take the irregular mother out to lunch, dinner or something?

  I called three different elders from different Kingdom Halls, no letter was read according to these true believers. They don't know there is a lawsuit going on, was this from Franz's Kingdom Hall?

  Money is being used to develop Kingdom Hall properties to house old Bethel, Missionaries and Traveling members, money from the drone-bees that is!

  I doubt the Society would ask for cash in such an ambigeous manner, questions would start to stack up. Again, I think they don't want to draw unwanted attention to this nasty issue most JWs don't know about.

  The Watchtower has the money to pay, it's a matter of figuring out which corporate shell they are going to open up to pay bond expense.

  The New York Times had the article years ago "How Donald Trump Could Learn A Lesson From The Jehovah's Witnesses", dealing with "how cheap Bethel bought these properties, used free labor to finish them up. Even with lower prices they still made a fortune off their investments, don't let anyone tell you anything different. They are real-estate savy, not knuckleheads when it comes to money and investment income.

  You are aware that these sins were recorded with some Secretarys, put away in a safe-box, Secretary's home or the Kingdom Hall safe.

  I thought this was wrong policy if the sins were not super-evil, evil sins that merit police involvement needed to be reported to the coppers. Elders and some naging hens know your sins from their husband's loose lips after drinking, or the token used for sexual payment to his big nose wife, who demanded good gossip for basic sex.
