I'm 35. I don't think the above statement about most being above age 50 is true at all. I think younger users are on here and haven't posted, as they are lurking after looking into all things JW because of what they've heard or how they've been treated.

@rebelfighter: Your ex-BF JW Elder was a totally deceitful hypocrite. Here he is an Elder, and secretly dating a "Worldly" woman? He could have been disfellowshipped (excommunicated) by the other Elders just for that!!!
Trust me, that arrogant dufos did you a FAVOR!! I can't believe in 5 years time he didn't take you to meetings, introduce you around, etc. Just used you for sex and THEN questioned whether or not you'd make a good convert and submissive wife. Guess what? You didn't pass his little litmus test, so you were out on your azz!!!
You dodged a bullet, trust me! Welcome!

Why is the guy on here begging for money? Hasn't the Governing Body told him, "Jehovah provides?" I'm sure his local Congregation Elders would be happified to throw him some money to help him out. After all, they are his Shepherds, right? -

A prospective juror(JW) really ticks of Judge!
by truthseekeriam inan appellate court has reversed the conviction of a bacliff woman who recorded her boyfriend raping his 14-month-old granddaughter on her cell phone, saying the trial judge tainted the jury by arresting a prospective juror during jury selection.
alisha marie drake had been sentenced in 2013 to 15 years in prison for using her cell phone to record the act.
her boyfriend, jason grant, was charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child and possession of child pornography and is awaiting trial.

Jury selection is NOT based upon whether or not you are a registered voter. It is based upon you having a current driver's license. -

CAH closing down in upstate NY
by oppostate inyet another circuit assembly hall is going to be sold off!.
they've been reducing the amount of congregations assigned to meet there and using the times when it isn't in use to make repairs.
elders have now been informed that they are selling off the property and buildings and that circuits would be assigned to attend other sites, twice as far, three or four hours away, like montreal.

@ PaintedToeNail: I remember that someone used to live on site to care for the grounds of Grantville. Guess they kicked that guy to the curb, huh? I remember Grantville got a remodel back in the early 00's, wherein they got new carpet, new baptismal pool (I still remember the original one with frogs, iron railing, etc). Do you remember when they still served food there? I do! No longer.
How many times can they polish that turd up?

You need money to purchase a computer to finish your studies, yet somehow you are using an electronic device to post on this very forum.
Things that make you, "Hmmmmm..........? "

Jehovah LOVES you! He loves you, and he NEEDS money! YOUR money!
This broadcast will surely wake people up, especially Elder types on the fence who know the whole story behind the "congregation loan forgiveness" scam that the rank-n-file witnesses know nothing about. Could you imagine being an Elder today, and seeing these letters come in, and then see this broadcast full of lies and money-grubbing behavior? The cognitive dissonance must be extreme.

When they sell off the Grantville, PA Assembly Hall, let me know!!! That place is a freakin' dump! So glad I never have to waste a weekend there again. Think the last time was summer of 1999, maybe 2000.
I've never seen an Assembly Hall like the one posted above. It looks like the outside of a Bass Pro, Cabela's, Dick's Sporting Good, Sports Authority, etc. Unbelievable! Doesn't look like any "place of worship" that I've ever seen. Looks a giant office space for a sales meeting, not worship. GB Worship?

Wow.....that donation song......just, WOW! It's very "Scientology" sounding to be honest. New Age, guilt-inducing jingle. I never thought I'd live to see the day that I'd witness such blatant money-grubbing and shake-down of the rank-n-file. My parents must be spinning in their graves.
The jig is up. If anyone ever had any doubt as to whether this is merely a publishing & real estate company posing as a pseudo-Christian religion - here is your proof! The "money grab" has commenced! The fleecing of the flock is now in earnest, and out in the open for everyone to see.
Rubber faced retard Lett is correct: This is an "Historical" broadcast, as it shows once and for all how shameless these charlatans are at shaking down the brainwashed followers. What a sight to behold!!

Can someone post JUST the "Donation Song" at the end? I can't skip to it like I would like to. Like if someone could upload just the song to Youtube, then post it here.
I totally agree with the one poster above and I've seen it like this for years even as a child: Money and help only flow one way in the cult, from the bottom up! Only the beatings and crap flow downhill....never any support or help back to the rank and file who donate the time and money to begin with! Whenever YOU need help, you are "fed" the company line, "Trust in Jehovah. Jehovah provides. Wait on Jehovah." Funny, Christendom's churches usually provide immediate assistance both physically and financially. I've gotten it myself, out of the blue, while both of my parents were terminally ill and dying. Didn't even ask for it. I got ZERO out of the congregations my family attended for 25+ years. They couldn't be bothered. I got so much support from my mom's worldly co-workers and my so-called "Worldly" family that I was floored. JW's were utterly USELESS. Couldn't have cared less. I started voting with my wallet when I was 10 years old. That was the last time I dropped anything into the box with the slot. In retrospect, that was the year of the beginning of my "awakening" from this looney cult.
The freakin' BALLS these charlatans have to get on jw broadcasting and beg for money like this, after they known to be worth billions of dollars, after purchasing millions of dollars of real estate in New York, Florida, the UK, etc. After selling off god only knows how many properties around the world and raking in millions maybe a billion USD. After fleecing the Congregations of everything in their savings except a measly $5000.00 USD, then demanding they keep "donating" the same amount month after month??????? Incredible gall and audacity.
When these beatings fail to rake in the desired amounts of money, I foresee them finally enacting a tithing structure like that of the Mormons or other denominations. It's right around the corner people! Any day now, SOON!! Wait and see. The death by a 1,000 lawsuits has begun. They are slowly bleeding, hence the begging for even more money. Greedy, self-centered, turds!
