So what is the "crowd" saying about that Sour Grapes? That is a LOT of money.... and even tho it's not technically (now) "theirs", I'll bet they feel it was..... (PS, are you voting "no"?) ;-)

$5.5 Million to be transferred to World Wide Work from Assembly Hall fund
by Sour Grapes ina letter was read tonight in our kingdom hall that the money that the circuits in the indianapolis area had in savings to build a new assembly hall will now be transferred to the www to build kingdom halls in lands where they are needed and a new assembly hall for us will not be built.. we had a beautiful assembly hall near downtown indy that was paid for.
it was sold a couple of years ago.
we were promised a new assembly hall to be built in southern ohio near the indiana border but they can kiss that goodbye now.

'First of all, does your letter include the names surnames, the congregations of all these elders?'
Wow! What audacity! (Pretty soon it will be fingerprints, addresses, telephone numbers, social security numbers, blood sample)
Does "the service desk" EVER write it's names on the correspondence?
Nope! It's code! SDK:SSM (This SSM isn't even their initials, it is a code for who is working the service desk that day.)
They never put their own names on correspondence.
Where are their balls?

Sister may have had a slight heart attack, do I text her?
by Xanthippe inso my cousin phoned and told me my jw sister was taken to hospital with chest pains and it may have been a slight heart attack or possibly she's starting with angina.
now as some of you know my sisters and brother have had little to do with me for 29 years.
we've met at funerals, or arranged them, but i just thought today what if she did die?

'The videos are helping the young people.'
by Magnum insome time ago a super-dub stopped by to try to encourage me to return to jw land.
my demeanor during our conversation was extremely serious.
i was polite, but dignified.

Maybe magnum, just maybe, he was giving you a secret hint (so he wouldn't get in trouble) that (like stuckinarut said) "it's helping us see how stupid this is and leave"!!!

Using Watchtowers Own Reasoning Against Them RE: The Governing Body
by pale.emperor insomething occurred to me today.
quite randomly as i was working away at my desk i remembered an illustration from the bible teach book in which satan claimed he knew better than jehovah about ruling mankind.
here's the illustration from chapter 11 of that book:.

Good one, PE! perfect for cart witnessing!
Lately, the scripture "Always learning, yet never coming to an accurate knowledge of truth" keeps appealing to me, especially in reference to this 'new generation' thing.

One more "two cents"... What if you DO introduce them to your parents, your mom and dad don't talk to you and then.....
you don't keep that boyfriend? All that drama for nothing.
One thing I would say for sure. Your life has to be yours. Otherwise, you will have regrets.

This is my story
by paradiseseeker ini've already posted in this forum but i haven't told you my story.
nowadays i'm a pimo in my late 20s from spain.. i was born in the cult and i can say that during my whole childhood and most of my teenage years i believed in this.
however, i felt that here was something wrong with me, as i wasn't comfortable telling people i was jw, talking about jw stuff, nor did i feel "excited" and "grateful" whenever a watchtower publication told me that i should.

Hi paradiseeker,
You have a strong will for truth, that is why you feel the need to leave. We all wanted "truth", and that is why we are all disappointed and even mad at WT for lying to us...
When asked the monumental question, "Where will you go?" Simply answer, "Somewhere I am not lied to"

Maybe it wasn't what you wrote here...
Maybe it was someone who had access to your phone or browser history? That would do it!
