i once heard of a circuit overseer blaming a loyal ministerial servant, that served as the accounts servant, of steeling from the contribution boxes, simply because he deposited the congregation funds bi-weekly instead of twice a week.
due to the accusation, the ms was immediately removed without hearing his side of the story.
isn't this rather counter-intuitive and innefficient?
At a district convention, a sister who happens to be a carpenter, asked the c.o how they were planning on fixing the leak in the babtismal pool. He turned to look at her, with a disgusted look on his face he said," It is not for you to know, it will get handled by the brothers, thats all you need to know about it."
Im trying to remember his name.. because he was a douche.
Brother Manikas(spelling?) her was a pompous ass.

for those who haven't heard the famous "infinitely ascending/descending tone", please listen to it now on the wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/shepard_tone.
although the wikipedia version is unable to demonstrate this, one can download similar sounds and play them in a loop and the tone will seem to continue ascending or descending forever (here's a classic ascending tone to download if you want to try it).
as one listens, it seems impossible that it could continue going in that direction without leaving the range of human hearing.
well put
there are few things in this world as good as a bacon sarnie.. .
uun .
Without a doubt, there would be no desire to continue living without bacon.
did you know of any jw's that still live at home?

Im sorry, my typing is horribler. My baby brother and his boyfriend had announced they got engaged in central park, NY. So we had a big party and now Im soo happy drunk and now I wanna talk shit about backwards JW's. I rreally hate their beliefs. They told me I should never talk to brother again because he chooses to disobey god.So my bro said, ayou know the scripture where it says any man that lays with man should be stoned..yes, I say, its a dumb scripture... he says, no its not, because me and brad layed down together and got stoned. I died laughing, right on!

I have noticed in my husbands family that its like a commune. They all move in together to help someone pay for their house or car. My sister in law wants me, my husband, my MIL, my BIL, my SIL and all of the kids and spouses to move to a property and build a big house where they all live together and share the expenses. All of these things would be in my SIL's name, so she it would be in her name, her credit and she would get pay out when she sold it. I told them there is no way in hell I would join them in jonestown community. They do this even now. My husband lived with his sister until he was 33. He told me for his rent, which is a tiny bedroom, for 700 a month. He said he paid for his sisters car payments in return for rent. I then informed him that for the same price he could be living on his own. But he was glad he could help his sister. I'd be asking for that car he paid off. renting a room is not worth 700 bucks. They took him for a ride, and he cant even see it. They call it helping eachother out, but in reality it is just enabling eachother.

I want to hang myself- seriously I do
hi all, i'm new but have read an awful lot here plus jwfacts and jwsurvey over the past months, also the coc book.. i'm not a jw (and never will be) but have a wife who is a 'want-to-be' jw.
this is quite a challenge for me as i already had an idea on some of the points jws stick to, but now with everything i have learned about the high-control methods, the changing doctrines, and the cover-ups, it's a real concern.... anyway, i was putting forward the notion that jw's don't help anyone in disaster zones, except jws, or by giving out wt tracts or magazines (which would be really useful to homeless, hungry and cold families).
she didn't know, and doubted it, so i told her to ask an elder if the wt provides assistance at all anywhere.. she reported back that the elder said the wt does contribute to the red cross.
From my experience this is NOT true.
When I was a senior in high school back in 2001, I headed up a fundraiser in my high school for 9/11 relief funds. I raised a couple thousand dollars in 3 days. I then took the money to the red cross to donate. We had a piece in the paper for our good deeds. Well the next meeting I get called into a elders meeting because I A. was running a seperate fundraiser from the WTBS B. donating to the red cross which has a cross in its name therefore its part of babylon the great and c. The red cross promotes blood transfusions and thats where all the donated money was going to, people geting blood transfusions.
In hindsight that should have been a warning sign. I was 17, didn't know any better. What pisses me off is that these elders acted as if it was my money. It was money donated by high school kids and teachers. Yes I thought of it, organized it, and collected, but I was in the business department class and did fbla, this is what I am good at, organzing and running the show. i felt so bad about 9/11 that I thought this is the least I could do to help those in New York, PA, and DC. I wasn't aware at that time that the JW's expect their "followers" to only help their own by donating to the society. If there were witnesses affected by the tragedy, what are the odds they actually recieved monetary support from our donations? probally zero
every now and then i check statistics for my 607-related articles.
recently, someone has searched for "vat 4956 watchtower", so i went to google to see where my site comes up in the page ranking.. the first entry in the search results is a reference to the watchtower online library, with a reference to their 2011 attempt at defending their doctrine.. and immediately below it is a link to my rebuttal of the same article.
some other actual google searches people have made to get to my site where my pages are in the first page of google's results:.
