A typical Wednesday evening Drunk story
by GrreatTeacher inwait, you don't go drinking on wednesday nights?
you don't get drunk and drive?
neither do i.. but, one of my neighbors does!.

Hello fellow Pennsylvanian! I surely CAN believe your story. Seen similar myself. In some of the more rural parts of the state, there's not much else to do besides drink after your shift.

Roy sounds like the type of brainwashed fool to leave every last cent to the WatchTower Pedo-Defense Fund.

My take on "Gog of Magog"?
WHO GIVES A SHIT??????
I could never make heads nor tails of this ancient cryptic bullshit, and neither can anyone else. What relevance does it have in the year 2021? ZERO!
If an Almighty God wanted to save everyone and be followed and praised, maybe he shouldn't have given us an ancient text full of psychedelic nonsense?
How about this? How about every 100 years, he actually show Himself up in the heavens, or at the very least send Jesus down here on His flying Pegasus and preach the Gospel. Every 100 years would PROVE that he exists, re-inforce his authority, and qualm people with critical, scientific minds about His very existence. It would also put to bed that other of the other so-called "Gods" are merely inventions of man.
If He'd do this, there would be ZERO question as to his Sovereignty to rule the Universe. But nope! Mankind is left to try and find the correct denomination and interpret some Bronze Age goat-herder scrolls.

AM III speech at anual meeting 2021
by Gorb injust downloaded and watched the am iii speech about expetations about the end.. all i think it is ment to temper the high expetations that the rank and file have build up because of the pandemic.. most jw think that the big end will come now.. gb must be anticipating the anti climax that will come.. it is a very rare speech, i can say, and am iii was in a realistic mood, the audience was laughing and he was thinking "you are idiots", so it seems to me.. g..

I wouldn't trust a single word Anthony Moron da Turd says, or as far as I could toss his overweight ass. He's a lying scumbag who lives high off the hog of the donations of the pauper rank-n-file sheeple. A true charlatan and false prophet. Did you catch him waddling away from the podium? Good lawd! He's even larger around than Mark Sanderson. In fact, looks like Sanderson lost some weight around the mid-section.

Wow, I didn't even know this about her. I had heard about her having a kidney transplant, etc....but never her upbringing. Gee, another celebrity with mental health issues, that's come out as raised as a JW? Colour me shocked!

My escape from Jehovah's Witnesses to seek a life as an artist
by Terry indream of the unborn butterfly.
my escape from jehovah's witnesses to seek a life as an artist .... (1974 - i pulled up stakes in fort worth, texas, packed my wife and 3 small kids into a ford maverick, and headed to california seeking a job of some kind where i could earn a living --not as a janitor, window washer, or minimum wage slave - but as some kind of artist.

Question
by Gorb inwhat is the probability that a religious organisation is used for money laundering?
for example, large amounts of money are raised by the organization as a donation and then legally introduced into the financial system.
is there any chance that jw.org is used for this kind of purpose?

They already do that; the WT Corp is known to, and has to publicly disclose, that it has an extensive investment portfolio encompassing many stocks in Wall Street. So yes, they invest in financial institutions.
Make no mistake about it. Money only flows one-way in JW-Land, from the rank-n-file Sheeple's wallets, to WatchTower's offshore bank accounts. No money ever flows BACK into the Congregations, unless absolutely necessary to repair/remodel a Kingdumb Hell for a quick sale.
The Congregations were pressured (AKA: scammed by WT HQ and CO's) to send all of their local Congregation savings to WT HQ a few years ago. They were told it was for "Safe keeping", and that if they needed anything, they could easily request their money back to do things. Think that's how it works? LOL!!!! They have to beg and plead to GET THEIR OWN FUNDS BACK, but 99% of the time WT HQ says, "REQUEST DENIED." Too bad, so sad! The WatchTower Org are total fraudulent crooks and charlatans! False prophets, for profits, hiding under the guise of a "charitable religion" here in the USA. Crooks!

In 1923 - I almost died!
by Terry inin 1923 i almost died.
__________in 1923 i almost died.. allow me to explain .... on the day of my parole from seagoville federal correctional institution, i walked out of the entrance of the prison and my grandfather was waiting for me at the gate.. the last time i’d seen him was in 1967. today was 1969.. he looked older and i must have looked much skinnier.. i opened the door and climbed into the front passenger side.. there were no seat belts back then.. jack avery hybarger was a private man, very shy about looking into anyone’s eyes.. he bottled up his emotions.
we weren’t a family that hugs or says “i love you.”.

Terry,
I've been on this board since 2002. I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed your life stories and experiences.
You were born the same year as my father, 1947.
I have to ask; do you still live in California? Have you ever heard or met Leonard & Marjorie Chretian? They were the author's and narrators of the 1980's classic, "Witnesses of Jehovah.". They too have a great life story, a story of escape (from the WT Cult), and of rebuilding. They reside in San Diego.
