Circuit Accounts Servants Confesses how the SCAM WORKS!!

by JT in

jw
friends

yes, i too have wondered how an assembly that is held in a fully paid for assembly hall, with no food service, could possibly have $10,000 in expenses.

i suppose the bethel speakers have transportation expenses - maybe $1000 or so.

as for rent on the assembly hall, well you have already paid for it once, why pay again?

Governor Mills of Maine filed for state of the emergency due to the storm approaching the state this Saturday.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/15/hurricane-lee-maine-emergency-biden-canada

President Biden approved of the request declaring emergency.

The capitol city of Augusta Maine designated the Augusta Civic Center as an emergency shelter.

Incidentally, JWBorg had their assembly scheduled there at the Augusta Civic Center today, the same day the storm is expected to hit. Another venue had scheduled the civic center for an evening event, but cancelled that event a few days ago. Did the JWBorg cancel their assembly?

Nope. My PIMQ relative got an email that the assembly was still going on. Here is a screenshot of another local JWBorger talking about the assembly today...

Over 90,000 people lost power in Maine. Many of the little old ladies who drove to the civic center for the assembly had to drive there from rural towns or the coast, and had to drive home possibly in places where there will be downed trees in the road or flooding. So much for the "shepherds" looking out for the "safety" of the sheep.

(I hope any of those crushed by the horrid disfellowshipping doctrine or by the ungodly pressure of the WTBT$ or by any of life's anxieties get the comfort they need to endure the pain. We only have to get through one minute at a time. Suicide is never the answer, and the sun always comes up eventually💖.)

(I will private message you, @stanlivedeath🙂)

Some disfellowshipped people don't have access to a lot of outside help.

For instance, if one mate is abusive and still in the JWBorg, and the other mate is disfellowshipped and there are children, the congregation will support the abusive JWBorg mate, even providing legal assistance to the abusive JWBorg member in an attempt to prevent the disfellowshipped mate from having full custody of the children if she tried to get away.

Also there are times the disfellowshipped mate is financially cut off because the abusive JWBorg member withholds finances and an opportunity to work as punishment for the disfellowshipped mate. The disfellowshipped mate may have to stay "hostage" to the JWBorg member in order to protect the children. The abusive JWBorg member may also prevent the disfellowshipped mate from cultivating relationships outside the home in other ways.

The congregation elders and Bethel promote such "hostage" situations. Suicide is never the answer, but for some in such situations, the idea of being able to go to sleep to get away from the torture is very tempting.

The JWBorg dictators are bloodguilty for creating such situations and promoting abuse and shunning. They are evil, and many, many people will rejoice and feel free once they are removed from their positions of power.

"So did you think about it?
Was it related to being disfellowshipped and then shunned?"

Yes and yes.

"My sister tried many times before finally succeeding in 2005.
At a Meetup group I attended all 9 people in attendance said they had thought about suicide after they were disfellowshipped or left and experienced the shunning."

The couple decades I was in, there were four suicides associated with just that one congregation, some related to shunning. There were other attempted suicides I knew about in other congregations.

"The impact on a person's life it massive. You immediately lose every person, your way of life, even your God."

There were a few people I knew who did not follow the JWBorg shunning procedures and kept doing their best to encourage me in small ways after I was disfellowshipped, but they had to be covert about it or else they would have consequences. My husband is still in and if the congregation found out other "JWs" were talking to me, they could get in trouble. Some of them had other family responsibilities and had to balance loyalties.

While it does change things in a shocking way, being disfellowshipped has many blessings. And even though the JWBorg people like to say that disfellowshipped people are "separated from God" they are liars about that. You don't lose God. I am closer to Him than ever. He's the One who got me through the darkest moments, and He continues to get me through them now.

It's all good, @Vidiot, I am the same way.🙂

"I actually have no issues with the Bible; in fact I’m a big fan of fantasy, horror, and graphic violence (being a smartass again, can’t help it, sorry). 😁"

I'm not a "he", I'm a "she". I didn't have it on my profile, sorry.

Hope you have a good day, @Vidiot.🌷

Hi, Chessa, I wasn't on the forum before, so I don't really know about your situation, but I am sorry things have been so difficult. It sounds like there are all kinds of crazy misunderstandings and a lot of pain. I am sorry about the pain. I hope everybody can have as much peace as possible today. 🌷🫶
