  /from reliable sources (brothers in position within the congragation) i've been informed that in two different location within the uk congragations are to be consolidated .these men are loyal to the society and have no contact with ex-jw community .many brothers and sisters within these 4 congragations are devasted and undertantably very upset .one of these congragation has in excess of 150k in the bank currently "held" by the society as a loan .do you have any more information on this ?

  is this just a one off or a new trend ?.

  Dissolve and reform the congregation moving the members around, meanwhile the WTBTS takes over th funds in the bank accounts of the congregations that have been "dissolved."

  New congregations are formed and every thing starts from scratch.

  DD: They can do what we cannot.

  Not true. We do that every day here. Do you really think getting Losch on the stand would matter to the R&F Jdub?

  They'd never even know because they are indoctrinated to ignore any negative information about their precious little religion.

  i'm preparing for my exit after 4 years of de-programming myself from the cult (much help from here..thank you) been fading for as long as i can to keep decades of family and friends, but the moment the "real truth" is arriving soon.. i desire to make an intelligent defense for my actions and of course will never get to first base using any resource material that will shut down the process by my blind brothers and family members.. i have collected some resources on my own, but would appreciate help in the following.. 1) child abuse.

  2) ngo un docs.

  3) follow the money any public records of what the borg spends or invest our money on.

  hey folks......has anyone else heard of, or experienced this before?.

  i visited by parents over the weekend and accompanied them to their assembly....same rubbish spoken about since ive been born....obey the gb, donate your last penny, no education and be a pushover.. anyways, our assembly hall has lush vegetation and scenery, so i was more focused on that....i started dozing off after lunch, so got up and went walking, saw some older folks from the congregation i grew up with.. upon the conclusion of the assembly, wed normally leave out right after the prayer ends so as to avoid the traffic.

  however, for this assembly he told me that hes gonna be a few minutes with the elders and branch representatives...so a few minutes turned into an hour..

  KJ: My dad also mentioned that C/O had a harsh tone

  That's telling.

  Was Jesus ever harsh with his disciples? Did he ever yell at them for not giving him enough money? No.

  He allegedly fed multitudes with a few loaves of bread. Why can't the GB do the same?

  KoolJo,this is interesting. There is a definite trend in the borg for more money.

  Out of curiousity, where is this?

  If you don't want to be specific, I understand. Maybe you could just say the county/state/province or general geographic region.

  Cofty: Do they not have enough faith in Jesus' promise?

  Apparently not. They don't have much faith in their lawyers either.

  Cofty: How much would you love to see a member of the GB on the stand being grilled by a tenacious lawyer?

  I'd pay to see that!

  I'd love to see him grilled just like the roasted hot-dog illustration Tony Morris the Turd used in one of his talks. That'd be a bit o' the ol' Divine Justice. It might even get me believin' in God again!

  Oh, the irony.

  today i was sat in a car full of jaydubs on the way home from the circuit assembly, and the discussion turned to halloween and how to avoid trick or treaters!.

  seriously, there was talk of pulling curtains shut across front doors and how disgusting it was that parents let their children knock on doors , and how annoying it is to get a knock on the door knowing it's an uninvited person!

  had to bite my tongue... .

  One evening of the year they get a taste of their own medicine and they can't handle it. Wimpy little hypocrites.

  It's really pretty effin' funny!

  o m g...(yes that is a very childish reaction...but i couldn't think of a more appropriate expression!).

  if you haven't yet read it...please do so..... it is so ridiculous!

  so leading, so distorted, and full of "bait and switch" techniques.. "prove you have the truth"..by seeing how neutral witnesses were in war times?
