Hey Max, YAY! You didn’t give a cent! Pretty sad when they have to keep pointing out the “Contribution Boxes”… Yikes!

I hated it at conventions (when we got the new big bible five years ago) “Yes, we have free labor, reduced costs, but still donate as much money as you would pay for a Bible in a book shop! ($70? $80?)

Haha, not me~! Otherwise, what is the point of having ‘free labor’ and ‘contributions’ for everything else in the world! Cha Ching, Cha Ching! No more of my Bling!

Campaign of hate… Yep, it was a while ago for him, I now know… but maybe it’s his therapy? Or maybe it’s a way for him to ‘give back’ to those who might want to know the way it really is?

I always wonder what I can say to someone that will help them face reality, and maybe get a part of their life back… If no one tells, no one knows, right?

I went to on a Bethel tour, got tired of all the walking, sat down behind a wall, and basically got told “Hey sister, if you can’t keep up with the rest of us, you can go downstairs and wait” Not the most welcoming place…

I also ran into someone I met on an Assembly Hall build… He volunteered after completion to work in NY…. I found him, said, “Hi! Howz it going?” (like, wow! are you having a great time!?") The look on his face… I think he discovered what Max did… Reality… I’ll bet he has some stories!

Thx life is to short , I appreciate your validation, and I’ll bet Marcus and his sister do too! The WT is very petty to ask back what they have not given…. Reminds me of that story they use to tell us… you know… the one about the king settling accounts with the slave that owed 60,000,000 denarii… the king CANCELLED his debt! That’s sixty million whatevers… So what does this 'no good' do? Hmmmmm…. Sounds like the WT (who gets millions and millions a year?) He goes and tries to collect $2 for cough medicine? a pen? toilet paper? mmmm..... Hmm?

The WT would “throw you in prison” if they could… just like the ungrateful slave above who tried to get only 100 d's back… But, in the story, ‘the king heard about it, called him wicked! and put him in prison until he could pay his 60 mil back….

Maybe, one day, the WT will have to pay us all back! Ahhhhh, what a dream, eh?

How much damage has internet done against the The Watchtower Society ?

by opusdei1972 in

in the beginning of internet the society was worried about the information published exposing its falsehood.

so, i wonder how many people lost the society on account of forums and web sites like this.

I think the internet has been a great support system.

It's really that the Watchtower has done the harm to people, and because of that, the broken ones turn to the internet to be able to figure things out, to have a hearing, compassionate and understanding ear... Quite the opposite of of the Borg. It is their cold-heartedness that will kill them, I believe.

Knowledge is freedom. Truth is truth.

Hi Brokeback, yep, the WT, Jehovah & Jesus have a hard time fitting all together... It makes it hard to think right when there are all these contradictions.

IMITATE JESUS REGIONAL CONVENTION - BRIGHTON, WEST SUSSEX (UK)

by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

train, trust, and empower others, as jesus does (luke 8:1; 9:1; 10:1)speaker opened by stating that there was a need for "harvest workers" and "shepherds" as the worldwide membership of jehovah's witnesses is now 8.2 million.

he then went on to state how jesus willingly gave responsibillity to others and that this pattern would be considered further.he briefly examined...john 1:3 - jesus' role in creationisaiah 50:4 - prophecy regarding the messiahisaiah 50:5 - schooling of the messiah2 tim 2:2 - timothy urged to entrust responsibilities to "faithful men".speaker stated that jesus trained, trusted and empowered his followers.

he cited luke 8:1 as an example of how jesus accomplished such training.

I understand, Tornintwo.... it totally helps to vent...it all seems so unreal, but REAL.... I use to focus on "This has to be God's organization because we see "the love among themselves"... the "Worldwide brotherhood"..... Only when we actually see behind the curtain do we know who really is there.

Glad you are here, this is a great place! Keep venting! ;-)

I hope that you and your husband do not try to "live up to the standards" of these pious elders. Do not try to appease them, they will only suck the life out of your soul, and for what?

Reading many court cases that involve the WT & abuse cases, I see that there really is no justice... as one lawyer said, "there is just us."

The GB, the Borg, have trained the borganization, in the most part, to be just like them.... Rules are rules, money is money, who cares what happened to you.... Oh, and don't tell anyone about it or we'll DF you, you'll lose your family, kids, friends... maybe even your job.

They are very cold hearted. This happens everywhere, over and over. I've read of very sincere brothers travelling miles, spending all of their earnings to see the GB, to discuss in person the troubles they have had with things they've read. Do not be fooled. They do not care.

The best thing to happen to you and your children is to have your husband back, to have a family, create memories, live. Your 16 year old is way more important than them, invest your time with him. Once you & hubby are 'off the hamster wheel', you will be able to think, breathe, relax! Go on vacation with no guilt!

Let the ones who make the burdens have the burdens, and escape!

Hugs, Cha Ching

Separated for over a month...

by cognac in

it hasn't been easy at all... trying to care for two kids- ages 3 & 6, while working fulltime, barely any support from immediate family, my ex has only seen the kids twice for a few hours, ughhhh.... i make way to much money to qualify for any sort of help, ex barely makes anything so that's out.... this is a million times harder than i could have even imagined... but, we are managing somehow; abeit, a little creatively at times.... i had just started thinking to myself, "we can do this!

" then, my house got robbed, about 10k worth of stuff stolen... ughhhh..... this is so depressing....

cha ching

So sorry someone had to come and make things worse! Just when you think, how could it be!? Robbery is so evil.

I hope the police are on top of it.... Time to invest in some type of home security, right? A dog? Camera?

Again, regards & hugs,

Family Reuinion and Being Disfellowshipped (sorry...but it's long)

by babygirl30 in

it has been a long looong time since i posted on here, but never ceased reading all the posts and keeping up on the changes that have been going on!

but it just seems that now i have a need to get something off my chest, and this is the one place that will most definitely understand the topic at hand.

i have been disfellowshipped for about 8yrs now, and have dealt with the 'consequences' of that decision: all my so-called friends in the org left and i was also abandoned by my own family.

cha ching

Good job, babygirl! The more normal & loving you & your boyfriend look, the more obvious your mom & dad's inhuman behavior will become.

It is very hard to survive something like that! Congratulations! Great that you had the backup and support of your other relatives, things will get easier the more in touch you stay with them, and build up that relationship you use to have!

Hang in there, realize it's not you, but the BORG that has trained it's worshippers to behave in such a despicable, inhuman way!

Hugs, Cha Ching
