it was the week when circuit overseer comes and my relatives wanted to offer the food.
i had got my school friend, a muslim girl, going into the meetings and she actually progressed and went to the field service, but never got baptized and one day she just disappeared.well anyway, this overseer comes for the free lunch and then when we are sitting in the table with his wife and my relatives, the muslim girl comes as the subject.
overseer throws out this absurd asshole joke that because their family doesn't like witnesses his father will come with a truck and drives it through the kingdom hall wall and then it explodes.
I remember a convention meating in Scandinavia, where the CO,s culdn´t come due to he has got a heart attack and was in bed at hospital. However his substitute, read a message from him reading:
"I am sorry for not beeing able to be with you here today, but remember I am still happy when thinking of you, it is wunderful to beaver away ones body in the service of Jehova.!"
the human brain has a neural interdependence that underpins the human need to group together.
learn why we need others to thrive and survive on the next episode of the brain with david eagleman, airing tonight at 10/9c on pbs.. watchtower knows that isolation is a killer and yet they enforce it.. they are murdering our brains!.
clarity .
It is true that the principle of shunning and Dfs, hurt a lot of former JW.s And that this behavior have led people to suicide, and have caused them mental trouble. But it is not a weapon that could kill their enemies only, it can Couse even them who chose to stay enormous pain and nervous problems.
In my case, my wife and I have created a big family. Six children and today five grandchildren. None of us is any longer a JW, except my wife!!! She is supposed to shun all her children, not letting them come to our big house, not letting them sleep over in our house (none of them has married). When some of the members of the family celebrates Christmas/birthdays and want to do it in our house, she must leave the house going to “her friends”, doing her service hours. If she is choosing to stay home on some meeting, because she have all heir 5 grandchildren at home, there is always one or two giving her a call, to hear why she didn´t attend that special meeting.
I can tell, that it is not the rest of the family that is depressed and have nervous problems with WT shunning and Dfs policy. In fact it hits the user of that policy as well. I know several families in the same situation. Some of the older members of the congs, has been forced to move to other cities so that it shouldn´t be obvious that they still like to meet their children and grandchildren.

faithful and always so very discrete in many things but when it comes to the lord's money not so good.. i think as it begins to register in their minds as to what a terrible job they have done as ceos of a large corporation leading it into this condition that thoughts of suicide come from.
not to mention the shame at being a public spetical to the world by the rc.
all these things and more are creeping through their denial as they are forced to face reality.
A narcissist/sociopath would harm or kill innocent bystanders waaayyyy before they'd attack themselves. Yes their only interest are themselves. Nothing elses matter. The more clever of them realize/understand that this boat will sunk, and take actions. The dumber of them will follow the boat and not understand. We will se soon who of them ara dumb and who of them are clever. Perhaps the clever ones will resign due to health reasons.

Here is my theory!
All the seven GB- members are psychopaths. They have already fixed their brand new passports in suitable names anonymously of course . And they are all of them looking for a suitable estate in Cayman Isles, schweiz, Bahamas, if it is not already bought. Remember Beth Sarim?

does anyone know anything about the "association of jonadab class"?.
I do not know about the association , of the Jonadab class, but I know that according to “Rutherfordism”, the Jonadabs were the “great crowd” that did came to the meetings but didn´t partake the emblems. They were the other who weren’t anointed.

30-40 years ago, I remember my aunt spending a lot of US$, to let our death family members be baptized “for the death” (Paul word I believe), This is why the LDS church have the very best ancestors database in the world. Still selling the names of your ancestors so you can get them baptized (for a few hundred dollars) in the temple in Salt Lake City. The question is are all of my aunts baptized death family members counted as Mormons? This could boost up LDS numbers considerably!?

jehovahs people do not beg for money.
[...] we have never considered it proper to solicit money for the lords cause, after the common custom .
it is our judgment that money raised by the various begging devices in the name of our lord is offensive, unacceptable to him, and does not bring his blessing either upon the givers or the work accomplished.

qoute: had Stephen Lett revealing a shortfall between projected income and expenditures for the forthcoming fiscal period.
I think that the members of the congs. Just use their opportunity to wote with their wallets.

i asked this question of a jw that called on me yesterday: "if the universe requires a creator, why doesn't god?
if the universe must have a beginning, why doesn't god?
he claims to have an answer, but it must wait for next time he calls.. i'm hoping you guys can give me a heads-up as to what he will say.
The answer he will come up with is, God is eternal, no begining or end.
But that just doesn´t give you a lead? remember Big Bang?
