Fooled no more, when these elderly ones have doubts but don’t want to leave, that’s called “sunk cost fallacy.” My mom has it, too. So sad. And, LHG, you are right about these scammers targeting seniors, you are so right. Thru my employment, I knew of a lady in her nineties, who was sending money to political people. Her son put a stop to her getting these mailed solicitations. So, they began to call her, and even offered to pick her up, and drive her to the bank, so she could make a donation. What nerve! But her son hired a caregiver, who was instructed by him to get rid of these charlatans.

WATCHTOWER's RTO (Remote translation offices) like this one are million dollar luxury locations
by Terry inmore than 60 percent of our full-time translation teams work, not at branch offices, but at remote translation offices (rto).
why is this arrangement beneficial?
what equipment do translators need in order to work effectively at an rto?

When I vacationed in San Diego, I went there. My husband took a picture of me in front of the mansion. I showed the picture to my mom, she asked what it was, I told her, and she went silent. Lol

Is there ANY possibility at all that the WatchTower and the Governing Body has the TRUTH? (You're about to find out)
by Terry inin my opinion, having been a jehovah's witness for twenty years as well as being an ex-jw for forty-three years,is that the following talk as given by peter gregerson, emphatically removes any shadow of a doubt aboutwhether the claim for the faithful slave has any merit whatsoever.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytcj6smffbk&t=3145s.

I used to have a fantasy…if I was ever disfellowshipped, I would sit in the hall, in the front row. After the announcement, I would stand up and yell out, “ Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, I am free at last.” Then I would hold up my middle finger to everyone, and finish off with “And I won’t be back.” But alas, I am a fader, never disfellowshipped. 👍🏻

Meeting announcement for emergency contact info of non-JW friends & relatives (?)
by LongHairGal ini just saw this post on reddit and can hardly believe it.. if i remember correctly years back they told you not to have anything to do with non-jw friends or relatives.
they discouraged you from bothering with non-jw family and to avoid them on holidays!!
i needlessly missed out on some delicious holiday meals with people who genuinely cared about me.

Pontoon, you are so right. At my previous job, a co-worker converted to become a JW. I told him not to, but he did it anyway. Well, he died suddenly of a massive heart attack. This was in Chicago, and his mother and other relatives were in Mexico. After his funeral, some witnesses showed up at the workplace to inquire about any life insurance, 401K, etc. what nerve! Anyway, the boss was smart enough to throw them out, after informing them that everything was going to his (worldly) mother in Mexico.

I’m waiting for the “new light” which absolves members of disfellowshipping if they pay a certain dollar amount. I’ll bet it’s coming soon, to a KH near you.

Witnesses should use “comrade” instead of “friends”, seems more fitting.
