i pretty much fell apart for about two years while i was looking at the religion through new eyes.
i prayed my heart out for two years, begging jehovah to clear a certain thing up that the elders and the organization had perpetuated.
this was supposed to be his spirit-led organization so getting things right in answer to possibly just one person's heartfelt prayers should be an easy task for the sovereign of the universe.
This subject hits close to home! Like others, I have prayed for the exact things you mentioned. I’m still in, hoping for something good to happen, and at the same time, living my life to the full!
I told the Brothers this Summer that I would be away for 6 weeks, so don’t give me any assignments. I’m partying “Like it’s 1999”!!!
New Orleans, here I come!
i remember when paterson was built.
the so called training facility.
we were told it was to teach elders what their job was after armageddon.
Spent a week there in 2008 for training

The person in the video says a friend of hers In New York Bethel ( she didn’t name the facility, for fear of getting caught) is awake to the falsehoods put out by the Governing Body. In particular, Child Abuse coverups, squandering dedicated funds, and putting out to pasture many longtime Bethelites over 50.
my dvd arrived from amazon today.
will be having pizza corona and a movie night tonight.
.
What's the name of the DVD?
on thing that really makes me angry and disgusted is when i think of the way in the past that the elders pressured me over and over again to have a meeting with them over a petty make out and petting incident.
they asked such instrusive, personal questions like, “did he touch your breast, for how long?
under or over your clothes?” i know that this happens to thousands of people, especially young women, and it’s just not right, it makes me so angry that i almost feel tempted to confront the elder who especially did this, when i see him at the convention in a few weeks and tell him what a sick person he is and how much trauma he caused me, manipulating me and pressuring me to answer such instrusive questions while he sat there and took notes!!
Those Elders are just following the Script provided to them at their Schools and Meetings with the CO.
i haven't seen this posted.. tuesday may 29, 2018 @ 10pm (new york time zone).
cults and extreme belief - jehovah's witnesses.
They barely scratched the surface of this Organization. I hope they do a follow up to expose all of their doctrines and false predictions!
Hey, they are saving millions now. Our Maintenance Committee just sent the GB $6000 because we had over$10,000 in our account.
Gone, Nada, Elimination
there was a co visit in ohio a couple weeks ago.
when he was finishing up his sunday talk he said that he would like if "all the children that are from this congregation, not if you're just visiting, but from this congregation to come on up on the stage right after the meeting because i want to get a picture of you.".
i thought to myself, why?
This is the time of the year when the CO's get their New Assignment for their next Circuit. If a particular Congregation was really good to them, they just some want pictures for their "Fond Memories".
an exanciano informs me that in spain a letter has been read to the congregations informing that the purchase of cleaning products for the salons will be done worldwide.
can anyone confirm that?.
can someone supply the letter that reports that?.
They didn’t read a letter here, but I have noticed that a lot of products are from the same place. Will look into it.
Does not surprise me though. When involved with the RBC we were told to buy as much of our materials as possible from Home Depot, so that the Branch could get 5% of the total purchase.
