I'm not planning anything....
But when they all pop off, what are the Rest going to do?They think the NS will come before they all die, so how the heck will they cope with it ,scriptually speaking/ surely cause a few to 'desert'?
There was a thread a few days ago about elders being up graded to FDS status by some out of context crappily applied scripture;do you think they'll explain the absence of God's action with' the FDS IS STILL HERE!
or will they work everyone up into a horribly humiliating fever pitch of protelisizing ,the like of which we have yet to see? The latter I hope! Any thoughts?

Why are you here?
by teejay inokay, i know what *my* deal is.
i'm kinda stuck in a life that i really see no way of escaping.
a big part of my deal is that i was raised without a dad who walked out on his family and so i have it in me to be the dad my dad never was.

Hi Teejay,Hey, if you were blind you wouild'nt be able to 'see' us, but we'd still be friends would'nt we?! It dos'nt matter if we're online or in front of you-we're still 'real' to eachother which is lovely.I refused to give up on my non jw friends( OR opposing.It's a mess to be honest, something to do with the moving of goal posts I expect.I want LIFE TO DELIGHT AND SURPRISE ME, so much to see and do, so little time... hubby seems to like me better when i was content to wait for the NS ; don't get me wrong, i'm not going crazy or anything, just want to enjoy everything i do and take delight in everyday ; my education is off and rerunning, i'm super fit now, need to be happy and busy and Iguess he dos'nt like me TOO happy!So maybe your marriage is fine the way it is; mine was. XXX But i can't go back to being subservient; and i'm not exactly Germaine Greer !!!

Scriptures JWs Would Prefer to Ignore
by Room 215 inhere are my nominations for scripture jws would like to see go away.
in all cases they're reduced to the ``yes, but'' defense; i.e.
john 14:2-- ``in my father's house are many mansions.".

I went out for lunch today, and there was one on the next table to me !! can't remember his name, but it was a really weird situation as i was reading stuff i'd printed out from here. I was expecting him to come over and start an informal witness; that would've given him indigestion for a while!

MILLOINS FOR WHAT????????
by termite 35 inok;this has been really annoying me for ages now...why are they stock piling their millions?.
they have so much, and get even more by making congs pay for their own halls/assembly halls,conventions blah,blah,blah;why do they hoard it?.
i know they don't like giving to charity, so that's not it.... i know they hav'nt increased the bethel staffs' wages, so that's not it.... i know they don't take 50,000 salaries, so that's not it.... they don't think they'll need it in the new system, so that's not it.... they know they're not supposed to store up treasures on earth,so that's not it.... their members say because of charitable status their accounts are open to inspection, so therefore many will know how much they have.. what the bloody hell do you think they are doing?.

Well; I thought i'd read some posters saying that they had 951,000,000 dollars from last years 'takings' .Did I remember wrongly?There have been numerous threads (i thought )on the subject of congs having to pay for everything whilst the wtbs rakes it in;so, as i said ,WHY? What is the point?Or were the watchtower and the huge amounts of money threads just crap? There's no point damning them for earning so much from lit 'sales' if they're not hoarding it; that just means the society as a whole is incredibly expensive to run; but with congs paying for so much, i doubt it.And I thought they had to show proof of income (and outgoings?)due to their charitable status?

i KNOW THEY DON'T LIKE GIVING TO CHARITY, SO THAT'S NOT IT...
I KNOW THEY HAV'NT INCREASED THE BETHEL STAFFS' WAGES, SO THAT'S NOT IT...
I KNOW THEY DON'T TAKE £50,000 SALARIES, SO THAT'S NOT IT...
THEY DON'T THINK THEY'LL NEED IT IN THE NEW SYSTEM, SO THAT'S NOT IT...
THEY KNOW THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO STORE UP TREASURES ON EARTH,SO THAT'S NOT IT...
THEIR MEMBERS SAY BECAUSE OF CHARITABLE STATUS THEIR ACCOUNTS ARE OPEN TO INSPECTION, SO THEREFORE MANY WILL KNOW HOW MUCH THEY HAVE.
WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU THINK THEY ARE DOING?
SAVING FOR A RAINY DAY?
EXPECTING A RATHER LARGE BILL?
SAVING TOWARDS FUTURE COURT COSTS?
THERE MUST BE SOME HONEST ONES UP THERE AT HQ WHO KNOW HOW MUCH IS IN THE PURSE; WHY DO THEY NOT SPREAD IT AROUND A BIT?
ARE SOME CREAMING IT SOMEHOW?
I REALLY DOUBT THAT A FEW ARE FLEECING THE ACCOUNTS, YET I CAN SEE NO REASON FOR ALL THIS MONEY TO HAVE NO USE... EVEN FOR LOADS MORE PROJECTS...THEY JUST SEEM TO BE CLINGING ON TO IT
WHY, DO YOU THINK THIS COULD BE?
IT CAN'T BRING YOU POWER UNLESS YOU FLASH IT AROUND A BIT; AND THEY'RE CERTAINLY NOT DIONG THAT
HELP... IT'S DRIVING ME MAD.......????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -

FUN.
And a social life;for a while.... I was 'allowed' to take others' children out but was VERY rarly invited anywhere or to anything... was i bad association or not?I can't work it out...Used to get upset about it; then decided not to stay out of touch with my 'wordly' friends as they 'advised'. So that means now i'm 'out' i've got no adjusting to do socially,and much more time to get pissed!!!!!!
