What, you haven't heard? Mark Sanderson is one hip dude! Apparently he likes to dance with the hottest young delegates at the International Conventions!! Being a GB Member today is waaaaaay different than decades past, because to be one of the octo-Popes today means you are a freakin' Rock Star that is revered and worshipped and gushed out over wherever you go! You think Mark Sanderson is a VIRGIN? Hahahahahaha! - Sucker! I bet that porkly, bald headed social retard gets more blow jobs than Hugh Heffner! He annointes them with his oil, than blesses and kisses them.
And Tony Morris? He's livin' large on the Sheeple's dime, yo! Nothing but tailored suits and Rolex watches as he entertains Caleb & Sophia on his lap like Walt Disney. And the food! You think the GB Members eat the same shitty cafeteria food that the grunts eat? Hahahahaha! One look at how rotund they all are, tells me they have lunch and dinner brought in from some of NYC's finest restaraunts. Those guys are living the high life.....flying 1st class, and laughing all the way to the bank as they reap the rewards of the flock's gullability.

Our first family computer circa 1981 or so was a Texas Instruments TI-99. This was followed by a Commodore 64. Never had Apple products at home, but my elementary school had a "computer lab" that was filled with Apple IIe's. They worked flawlessly, and put my home computers to shame.
Today, my son's school is filled with iMac's with 24" screens. Every teacher is given an iPhone and Macbook air. Starting in 9th grade, students are assigned iPads, and these follow the student thru their high school career. They hand them back into the school at the end of each year. Homework is saved on their iClouds or google docs.

More WTS cash-grabbing: "Funds on Deposit" program for Circuits
by sir82 inat a recent circuit assembly "business meeting" for elders, a new program was announced: "funds on deposit".. here's how it works:.
each circuit determines a "floor" and a "ceiling" for an amount to hold in their circuit checking account.
when the "ceiling" amount is exceeded, the amount above the threshold is wired to the wts and held by them.. if the circuit checking account drops below the "floor" amount, the circuit can send a request to the wts to request that some of their "funds on deposit" be returned to them so that their checking account resumes a "safe" level.. as explained by the elder explaining the program,, "in other words, the branch is acting exactly like a bank - the circuit will make deposits and withdrawals as needed.

@ OntheWayOut:
Wow! Your experience is VERY telling as to what the priorities are for this so-called "Christian" religion, huh? Screw sending your excess funds to another congregation in need, WE (Mother) will decide how your own donations are spent, so send it to us to put into our coffers! Wow.....just.....wow. Every time I hear an experience like that from someone like a former Elder, etc....it confirms that I made the correct decision not to stay in this money-grubbing, hateful CULT.

I swear, just when you thought you've heard it all, you hear some more. What a bunch of freakin' crooks!
I find it amazing that in the local churches in my area, every month (sometimes weekly) in the printed church "program" there is an exact breakdown of all accounts with deposits, withdrawls, expenses, donations, etc listed. It is all out in the open for the public to see. Anyone can question it, examine the books, etc. A stark contrast to the JW.borg way of closed-door meetings and subtle, cleverly disguised shakedowns. This is nothing more than a power trip and money shakedown in the extreme!
I've been saying it for a few years now: Money only flows one way in this Cult, out of the wallets of the sheeple and up into the coffers and hedge funds of the leadership. What a fleecing of the flock! They give absolutely ZERO back to their members in financial aide or assistance, and if you were to DARE to ask for any, they have the galls to tell you it's not their responsability to provide for you (Jehovah provides, not THEM!) and that you should hit up your so-called "worldly" relatives in times of need first. The freakin' balls these clowns have! I swear if I were still in, I'd be punching people in the face for the audacity they display.
They haven't gotten 0.01 cent out of me since 1993. How do you like that, you greedy cult azzholes?

But what your local body of Elders really want to know is, "Have you given or accepted a blood transfusion? How many times? With whom? Did you enjoy it? Male or female? Was it in the dark, or in a park? Was it a little, a lot, or just a needle prick? Whole blood (unusual in this day in age I know) or just components? Fractions? Fractions of a component? How about organ transplantation? Have you brazenly contributed your doctrinal knowledge to helping a transplant team with blood-soaked organs? Do you drain the blood from the organs, kosher style after removing them and giving them to the transplant team? What organs were they? A penis or an eye? I encourage you to contact your nearest Hospital Liason Committee members and straighten this all out immediately so that the local Body of Elders can have a complete and correct understanding in which to fill in your congregation member card and with which to judge and shun you.
LOL.

S&R:
WOW!! So good to see you again. Always wanted to tell you how much of an inspiration your story was to me and I'm sure to many others as well. You are proof positive that there IS a LIFE outside of this vile, money-grubbing CULT.
Don't be a stranger, Doc.

Why Jehovah's Witnesses Are Susceptible To Ponzi-Schemes and Rip-Off Artist More than the public!
by BucketShopBill inthis thread is dedicated to my friend blondie when she asked "why the pay day loan shop woman had so much access to jws".
in 1993 the jehovah's witnesses in ventura, santa barbara, san luis obispo, monterery, stanislaus, san fransisco, alemeda counties were spreading word of the miracle worker of money from san fransisco.
word traveled throughout the circuit overseers, district overseers telling everyone these brothers in san fransisco were paying 15% for "180 days loans"without any risk, most of these jws were elders and cos and dos, it was only among them the scam remained to create a "in crowd feeling" and left out non elders setting up the sheep for something special down the road!

Divorcing my husband of 13 years...
by 2pink inmy husband and i were both born ins.
i left in 2009, and he followed me out a bit later.
we were one of those couples who followed the script, married young and ended up having nothing in common other than the religion.

A lot of good advice so far. #1 is best divorce lawyer that you can afford.
I will say that even though I applaud you for having such a big heart, I cannot fathom why someone would want more than (1) special needs child at a time. (1) would be enough of a handful, but (3) ? Wow.
Don't know the circumstances of "last night" or whatever, and I'm not trying to sound defensive of a man I don't know, but do you think maybe the continual, perpetual stress of having not just (1), but (3) special needs children has anything to do with whatever is wrong with him or his actions? Just putting it out there. He may in fact be even more miserable than you are and acting out on it.
