  there has been much discussion on this board about who actually owns the local kingdom hall.

  my former kingdom hall is now up for sale and i had a chance to talk to one of the brothers who is overseeing the sale of the building.

  he had some very interesting things to tell.

  Who would be the better CO Bush or Kerry?

  by WTLies in

  2. friends

  better in terms of who would the wt think represents them best.

  i say kerry because he will say whatever is needed no matter what facts history shows.

  (this is true of most all politicians by the way) for instance when he was in the service he talked bad about it.

  Are there disadvantages to knowing the 'truth' is a lie?

  by WTLies in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there was a character in the matrix who, after being released from the matrix, got tired of the real world and wanted to have his memory erased and his body put back in the factory so as to live out his days in a dream world.

  have any of you ever wished you didn't know what you now know about the wt, or wish you could go back to the life where you had a sure hope and belief as to what the future would bring without your current knowledge about the 'truth'?

  being 'unplugged' does have it's disadvantages.

  Boss comes to aid of shunned worker

  by WTLies in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on my wife's job, she is one of about 10 jw's employed there.

  recently one of them found out the assistant manager (who never told anyone she was ever a jw) was raised a jw and has been disfellowshipped for the last 10 years.

  needless to say this news spread quickly amongst the jw's there, and of course they all started shunning this person.

  by WTLies in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we had a whole list of shows we were not allowed to watch including 'speed racer', you'll never guess why.

  it was beacuse in the theme song it says "he's a demon on wheels" but then my mother was a jw fanatic lol.

  How to avoid getting DF'd

  by WTLies in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as an elder and judge at a judical committee hearing, their main job is supposed to be determining if the person is repentant, not guilty or innocent.

  in the jw judicial system the guilt is almost always established prior to the hearing.

  they either have two people that saw you commit the sin, or a confession.

  Disfellowshipping Procedure Changes

  by WTLies in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has there been any changes as of late in the way the judical committe operates?

  i was just in email with a dub that assured me that the elders no longer make decision to disfellowship but instead it's made at the society.

  the elders only recommend.
