JW Broadcasting—November 2015

ha!

that is supposed to make people go back?!

WingCommander

At 33:53, the woman uses the term "double life" when referring to her time spent with friends at work, etc.

I have NEVER in my life heard that term used by an active JW. In fact, I've only ever heard that term used on these EX-JW forums. I find it amazing, that such terminology would not only find it's way back to JW's, but actually IN a JW broadcast. Talk about having an effect! I wonder, who's going to slip up on the stage or in a video, and use the term "Borg" for the first time? When it happens, you'll just KNOW that person is an Apostate or was an ex-JW that got sucked back in.

Assembly baptisms/attendance - keep 'em coming!

by freddo in

jw
friends

don't forget to post your reported assembly and convention attendance and baptisms and whether they are higher or lower than customary (if you know).. here's some detail passed to me of the last circuit assembly held at surrey (uk) assembly hall.. attendance 922 baptisms 3 (half circuit).

WingCommander

I believe my last Circuit Assembly was at the Grantville Assembly Hall, 1999 A.D. I was fed up with it then, and haven't wanted to go since. It's a total bore, and waste of a perfectly good weekend, spent inside a windowless, soul-draining meeting room. No thanks!

im df'd...been df'd for over 19 years already.

so she probably would have gotten away with it without anyone knowing.....except that her flash was on.

WingCommander

So......you gonna hit it? I'd give to her all "Apostacy style", then toss it and leave it.

CO Comes Up With A New Way To Be Judgemental...

by JW_Rogue in

at the latest co visit something very strange happened.

during the meeting with the elders and servants he passed out a copy of a hypothetical publisher card and asked us what we could learn from it.

upon receiving it i saw that the average hours were pretty good, it had return visits and quite a few bible studies.

The CO's Motto:

"Hey, I can build the flock up, by beating them down!"

Therefore:

"The beatings will continue, until morale improves."

Something interesting!

by John Aquila in

i was invited to a small get-together by a long time friend.

we both served as elders for years.

he is in his late 70s.

I gotta say, I was skeptical of John's experience at first too. Then I read his last post above, about where he is located. This is Mexico people, not Vermont. The Mexican culture absolutely loves and insists on these types of gatherings, and I don't find it strange or out of line at all for this amount of people in the Mexican culture do have a gathering like this. That is Mexican culture. If this were taking place in the New England states, or Georgia, I'd be more reserved. However, if you recall, there was a yearly meet-up somewhere here in Pennsylvania, around Blue Mountain Retreat or something, that was for ex-JW, ex-JW groups, apostates, etc. The place burnt down, and I haven't heard anything about it in 3 or 4 years. They held it like every October. I'm fairly certain at least 100-200 ex-JWs would show up for that. It ran for probably 20 years? So this is not unheard of even here so close to WT HQ.

The thousand mile bullshit stare

by bohm in

jw
friends

anyone else tired of this wt cliche?.

"a certain young man named eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep.

as paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead".

WingCommander

^^^^^ These are classic, just classic!!!!

Here's my captions for the above:

1.) "Am I going to be a virgin my entire life? Why don't pioneer sisters dig my 'stache and funky shirt? I'm so depressed, but I have to continually put on this new personality shit-eating grin. Kill me now Jehovah, for my soul is already dead."

2.) "Oh how I long to suckle upon the breasts of young Sister Bigtits, but alas, I can't bring myself out as a Lesbian to her for fear of being shunned by my entire family."

3.) "Oh my God, you're a total bitch? I'M a total stuck-up bitch too! Let's get together in Service soon and totally tear up all the less fortunate ugly sisters who's husbands were dumb enough not to go to college and have good jobs and drive old beaters. Do you want to take my Mercedes, or would you prefer your BMW?"

Special Pioneer Couple Living at a Kingdom Hall In Miami FL, get the dreaded Letter

by James Jack in

just got a phone call from an older sister saying that a couple that got re-assigned from bethel 4 years ago to live at their kh apartment as special pioneers, just received a letter saying "as of january 2016, your special pioneer assignment will be discontinued".. they live in a south miami kh(snapper creek congregation).. this couple had only served in bethel for 15 years before they were sent out into the special pioneer work.

they are now in their mid 50's and the sister said that they have to find part time jobs to support themselves.. the older sister (does not have a pc or internet), says that the couple are just devastated!

"That's the thing. How bad must things be, if they are so savagely screwing over their best & most loyal?"

^^^ This, right here. No matter how much Sam Herd was spinning his web of crap at the AGM, this statement right here rings absolutely true. For GB Member Herd to state they are fine financially is a flat-out LIE. Also, it really begs the question: Where the hell has all of the money gone from the gigantic fleecing of the Congregations this past year? That had to have been hundreds of millions of dollars? Where did it go? Certainly isn't going towards helping out their own Bethel staff, or RBC, Special Pioneers, etc????? So where the hell is it?

Yeah, so much for "relying on Jehovah". I've seen this my entire life; relying on Jehovah (instead of your own God-given senses) will get you out cold on the street, and none of your fellow Brothers & Sisters will give 2 shits. In fact, they'll turn around and chastise you (kick you while you're down) for being so gullible as to not have gainful employment or backup plan.
