has anyone attended the sunday program of the summer regional convention, remain loyal to jehovah?.
i have been very concerned about the tone of discussion surrounding sundays program.
i went to friday and sat., not sunday.
I think the GB is panicking a bit and seeing that the money is not coming in like it used to. That is why the clamp down on the rank and file members not associating with weak and inactive dub relatives.
Since I have left I have never being happier. Even now my sister says she can't have anything to do with me as Jehovah comes first in her life. If she thinks this will get me to run back she is so wrong as I do not need her and her dysfunctional cult in my life.
there continues to be more and more rumors of more halls being sold off some even taking the first offer.
the borg trying to get thier bond money back from the court in san diego asap and there's been elders meetings about this consolidation.
my questions is why after selling off all this real estate in new york for over a billion dollars are they still acting like thier broke?
I would think their financial people are looking at all the KIngdum Hall and seeing which ones are in the red and if they are sitting on a piece of valuable property it does make financial sense to sell off that asset. The only lousy thing is the rank and file dubs paid for those Kingdum Halls.
a story i found on google news .
i cannot vouch for it's journalistic accuracy , but it is still interesting.. in an act of self-determination, the wiwa tribe expelled the religious organization for contributing to their “cultural and spiritual extermination.
"the wiwa indigenous community in colombia has expelled a group of missionaries from a church built by jehovah's witnesses inside their territory, which had been perceived as a threat to the culture, traditions and beliefs of the group.. .
No surprise. I guess the Wiwa Tribe figured out the JW would not allow them to still practice their traditions after being converted to the JW religion.
i'm at home and hear knock on door , i sneak and look i see two men and recognise one voice and go back into lonunge and ask wife ( who is inactive believer) does she want to speak to elders ,she says no ,then literally 3 minutes has pasted another knock the 3 minutes seemed like an eternity.
so brave heart me think fuck it i'll answer ,i invite them in for coffee, i recognise one older man he is a unique elder who i genuinely was fond of when i was in his name is andrew ,the other guy i didn't recognise we will call harry ( not real name australia doesn't have that many cos with his same name).
so i think to myself i will tread lightly and not cause to much of a fuss for the wife's sake, but my personality is very the opposite of treading lightly ,as you read my threads you will realise i'm not timid.
These two elders initially assured you that they won't use what you said against you, so that you would feel free to let your hair down. Now that "they" know you are a dangerous apostate, expect an invitation to an official interrogation by other elders who will know exactly what you said and will know the exact self-incriminating questions to put to you.
I remember years ago at my JC hearing the assured me that what I said would not be used against me but then after when they DF'd me they used my words against me. They are a bunch of f*ing liars. They just want you to open up and confide in them and then use your words against you. They do not care about the indidual person. You could be on the brink of suicide, yet they would still DF you as there first duty is to protect the corporate real estate holdings company the WT.

CO assured me what I say would not be used against me
Yeah right, you know everything you said in that "shepherding call" will be used against you at your JC hearing.

where have the witnesses gone?
the remaining 20 witnesses will travel to the neighbour churches now.
1998: 13 active Witnesses, 1 baptism, 30 memorial attendance;
2008: 8 active Witnesses, 0 baptisms, 12 memorial attendance;
2015: 6 active Witnesses, 0 baptisms, 19 memorial attendance.
Six active Witlessnesses, I mean at the WT study, 1 contacting the study, 1 reading and 2 on mics, it doesn't leave many to comment.
i grew up in this religion, i was baptized at 14, married at 27, and now i'm 31. i'm also evolutionist and atheist.
i wanted this to be the truth.
i spent years as an apologist trying to reconcile everything.
The WT bible teachings cannot stand up to logical scientific evidence. This was the eye opener for me. As long as you know what you are getting into and do not care what the other dub family members think or their shunning, then go for it and don't look back. There is a whole other world out there for you without the cult trying to control you.

after new mom's death, jehovah's witnesses take heat.
a quebec coroner opened an inquest, but health minister gaetan barrette said dupuis made the choice on her own.
The sleazy WT society will have their bank of lawyers ready to go on this one. There is no way they will lose.
so much for dedicating the kingdom hall, hallfields lane, peterborough, .
pe4 7yh for 'true worship(tm)'.. it's now a mosque.. not that i care anymore, i have finished thinking much about the jobos.
moved on and glad of it.. just thought you'd be interested.. now i'll sod off again for another few months.
This is nothing new a couple of Kingdum Halls sold where I live and is now a Sikh Temple. Well no difference they are all cults.
letter sent today to the ministry of justice... .
spain bethel sent a letter recently last oct 3 interpreting that no elder or sm should request a certificate of sexual offenses as other churches or persons in contact with kids.
again jw.org interprets the law to their behalf.. a group of elders in madrid has sent this letter to ask clarification !!.
It wouldn't be the first time the mother organization/GB has left the local elders out to dry.
