John-A gets a few too many Coronas in him, and HE thinks he's the F&DS, dispensing spiritual liquor at the proper time. I have a feeling he was anointed with tequila instead of oil.
Those pesky WT booze goggles, are at it again!!!!
last night we were invited to a get-together with quite a few heavies attendingelders and regular pioneers.
there was beer and later some music.
everyone got relaxed and let down their guard and starting talking all kinds of non-theocratic stuff that you only discuss after a few beers.

You know, there was this guy on the "Ex-JW Group 3" on Facebook, and he was telling all these whooper stories as well. I mean real yarns! Everyone caught on soon enough, and I haven't seen him a quite a while. Now, I know where he went; - HERE!
There is no way in hell this happened. Maybe between a group of say (5) very close friends, out in on a camping trip or in a private house after a few drinks, but no way in hell was this a large multi-generational age group.
I agree with Slimfatboy, the last story was a real stretch, this one for sure is BS. This is total wishful thinking on the OP's part.
Reason: Especially with Elders and/or Pioneers being present, the air of paranoia is absolutely rampant and toxic in the Org right now, and anyone even remotely seen as not towing the company line is reported for apostasy and/or "Brazen Conduct."
John, how freakin' dumb and gullible do you think we are? We're not JW's anymore, that level of "stupid" doesn't exist in my body anymore.
i'm sick and tired of everyone claiming to be "offended".
if you are not politically correct, you will need to apologize for some perceived slight.. when i was an elder, i purposely avoided as much as i could, anybody that got easily offended.

To the poster above:
Is Tom & Jerry really banned in the UK? Wow.....what a police state you live in.
So let me wrap my head around this;
Tom & Jerry - BANNED.
Are you Being Served? - In constant re-runs.
If I were a Brit, I'd consider jumping off Big Ben to end my suffering.
How is Ireland? Do they have everything banned? At least they know how to drink.
i see years of acute economic crisis ahead for the w.t.
this is evident with letting go of " volunteer" bethalites throughout the world.
but my thread is on the consequences to the individual, and the organisation of letting " volunteer" bethalites go.. so what happens to the captive mind of the former bethalite when they are let go from bethel?
Myself, I can't wait for the disgruntled ex-Bethellites to start showing up here, telling their stories, and opening up about what's REALLY going on and what it's REALLY like to live up in the Ivory Towers with the "F&DS".
I just can't wait! It's going to be really something. We need to prepare ourselves for a nice influx, and roll out the red carpet for these "thirsty ones."
that's what i suspect.. perhaps some of us retrained our brains to not surrender to a natural urge to believe the simplest, most drama-laden spins on facts.. examples (at least i think this is the truth!):.
the clock.
the son of muslim activists makes a device that, on purpose, looks like a bomb.
I agree with your post 90%. GMO's I don't agree with. I hate high fructose corn syrup, industrial-agri business, and the company known as Monsanto due to their bullying techniques. (I hate Wal*Mart for the same reason).
Modifying crops so as to not pollinate naturally, changing their make-up, creating clones of sheep/animals, etc is just creepy and wrong. 100 years ago our food was pretty much all-natural and organic. Now you have to pay premium just to get it? That's f*cked up, big time. I swear, I think half the diseases, early puberty, etc are brought upon by our modified foods. I'm 36. When I was in school, 8 yr old girls weren't having their periods or getting boobs. They are today! That's from the hormones and chemicals being inserted into our foods. Something is NOT right there.
guys .
a letter was just read in out kh stating that all printing of wt and awake is ceased for the coming year and we will just place tracts on fs, countries which were cared by our branch will be cared by other countries...along with this they read the new fs form and stuff about reporting links of videos wtf..lol.
i can't tell which country perhaps that will give away a lot, any one with a similar information.
Governing Body message to 2nd largest population of human beings on planet earth:
"You can't send us any more money? F*ck You! We ain't got time for you pagans! May the birds pick your steaming flesh from your bones and your blood turn the Ganges red as wine, after the great day of judgment from the Israelite God of War!"
leah rimini spent a lot of money before she ditched her cult: .
over the years she says she spent about $2 million for services and training courses and made another $3 million in donations.
among her expenses was $40,000 to compensate scientology for sandwiches... article.
SecretSlaveClass: I think you mean the HBO documentary, "Going Clear."
I watched that documentary recently, and was totally floored that such a money-grubbing CULT could actually continue to not only operate, but actually flourish in some areas, all the while raping their members of time, freedom, and money. Scientology is a disgusting cult.

"However, Kingdom Halls will continue to be built or renovated in proportion to whatever the brothers are able to contribute for this purpose."
Say WHAT? So after the GB raped the Congregations savings accounts, under the guise of, "we'll just hold all this extra money for you under safe keeping in our accounts", now when a Congregation needs their own money back to renovate and/or build a new KH, they are being told they are own their own? To save up again, and pay for it all on their own? Where is the money you stole from the Congregations, you charlatans?
What a bunch of crooks!!!!! Total crooks. I'm astounded at the audacity of such a statement. How about giving some back, you greedy cocks*ckers!! They took it ALL, now tell the Flock they are basically own their own? Man oh man......the handwriting is on the wall!!!!!!! I'd be out the door if I were JW.....more than just voting with my wallet, I'd actually physically get up out of the chair, leave the books and crap, and leave the KH, never to return! This is a total money grab, a con, and the joke is on the rank-n-file who are still dumb enough to contribute to the luxury of the leaders at the top.
from the october 19 letter to the body of elders:.
to all bodies of eldersre: service meeting part for week of december 21, 2015dear brothers:the service meeting for the week of december 21, 2015, includes a ten-minute part entitledshow appreciation for jehovahs generosity.
this is to be a talk based on the november15, 2015, watchtower, pages 14-15. sometime during this part, the video a gift in hand to jehovahshould be played for the congregation.
Question: How uncomfortable must it be for that Elder to get up there, month after month, and read these parts about giving more, More, MORE! They must draw straws to see who gets the "privilege" of getting up on stage and begging for even more money, after already fleecing the Congregation's bank accounts earlier in the year?
Wow, just wow!

Can someone just post the text of this please? I don't trust anything enough to download, anywhere.
I can't wait to see how they polished this turd up to the Brits.
