well if you check the new pay attention at the meeting video their hall is one of the 1st.
flat roof, lots of glass and a jw.org logo.
lucky them
Simon: Now they are planning ahead for resale for when they are finished with the buildings.
Which tells me that the leaders of this organization (the real leaders, whoever they are) know that they've got a cash-cow money machine here and that they're just going to milk it for all it's worth.
They're clearly not worried about any fictional "Armageddon" coming anytime soon.
so, i have been badgered recently to do some kind of family study by my wife.
thanks to tv.jw.org i now have a really easy tool to use that not only passes this time but actually makes them question the organisation.. our sessions skipping through the delights of the monthly broadcast have been very interesting.
derision at the wooden delivery of the gb.
konceptual99, that is fantastic!
As long as your children are encouraged to be themselves, to use all of their creative talents and abilities and are not pressured to conform, they have a good chance of escaping this cult.
Some books and essays you may want to read with them are:

K99: One of the things I wish to have is kids that can think for themselves, can take an objective approach and are not against the WTS just because daddy says they are morons.
This is a great point. This means that, in addition to pointing out the logical fallacies and hypocrisy of the organization, you need to supply your children with productive means to exercise their talents and develop their thinking skills.
What special talents or interests to they have?

AFS: can someone get screen shots of the rings?
How to Wear a Pinkie Ring, by Stephen Lett, Governing Body Member
you must see the musical video at the end of this month program (aprox.
at 1:04:30).... i don't like to use "must" but this is wow... if you think they couldn't get any lower... just be prepared...
do we obsess about the jw org?
i admit i do.
the reason is that two of my offspring are still held hostages by the beliefs of the cult..
i'm not on facebook, so i can't verify this;.
just heard from a trusted friend that a bethelite who had posted a copy of the happy @ bethel video online, has pleaded with everyone not to copy and repost it - because "their lives at bethel are at stake"!!!.
anyone heard of threats being made at hq?.
Drama Queen
the innocent civilians being attacked is the norm of the day.
attacking hospitals too are happening frequently.
now schools being attacked is becoming a regular affair (last of its kind massacred 150 children in peshawar on december 16, 2014)..
abiather: Here is a film star whose wife is a medical practitioner. He has gone on record saying "he and his wife have never tasted even a drop of alcohol, because it is nothing but poison!"
So the actor husband of a doctor says something and that settles it?
Then you shouldn't drink. Because you can't even think properly when sober.
I on the other hand demand evidence from credible sources.
some of you may have seen my previous post regarding my concerns with leaving the organization.. so many of you responded and were so kind and helpful, that is was rather overwhelming.
i didn't expect so many responses.
a lot of you also provided links to research as well as some books to read.
Garrett: I feel free and my depression has actually gotten much better.
That is the experience of most that leave.
Good for you, and welcome to the rest of your life!
if you have not already watched the feb 2015 broadcast, go to approx.
it has an elderly sister talking about being old in this world...a long time pioneer who probably thought the end would have come years ago...as the society told her many times.. now she is told to be on a mission to get young ones to also pioneer, and watch for the not so subtle condemntion of higher education!.
sickening stuff........ they missed the obvious elephant in the room.... a life wasted on nothing...now she has no money, and lived waiting for a fairy tale!
baldeagle: This must be a huge organizational problem for the WTS leaders, that they have to constantly demonize going to college on such a regular basis.
It is.
I personally know three JW families with teenagers in high school. Two of the three families are intending to send their kids to college.
Woohoo!
