  life is tough when you've spent your best years in the borg...how do you reconnect when kids are grown and you're close to retirement age?.

  CultBgone - did you have a nice day today? What did you do, exactly. I really am interested. I left the cult about a year ago, and just can't believe I was so fooled for 40 years-embarrassed too. I do miss the routine of service and meetings, but it is so nice not to have to hussle around and get ready. Now I am going to festivals and yard sales, and that makes me happy. Things that I can look at and enjoy without having to spend too much money. During the evenings, I've been going online and I've been finding out many things about JW, and Christianity in general, and I think they're all a fraud.

  Gracie, what do you mean you hope you'll kick the bucket soon. Please write us and teach us some of your wonderful knowlege of things that you have built up over the years. And, for your dementia- as you call it. One of the many wonderful cures is coconut oil-the pure kind-the kind that is solid at room temperature, but melts easily. You need to work up to taking up to 11 tablespoons a day. The brain is not getting the sugar it needs, and coconut oil will enter and feed it. Write us and tell us about a happy thing you did lately. It's so nice to have you all. Love you.

  Welcome, ML. We were told that the WTBT never said that 1975 was THE end when we know they darn well did. I think it was a big scam to get the brothers to sell all their belongings and send the money to them. Shortly, the Stanley Theatre was bought and renovalted. Hmmmmm.

  Will firing the DOs be the first step to a new Watchtower?

  by Juan Viejo2 in

  against my better judgement, i've decided to share the following as a response to guy pierce passing and the announcement of the elimination of district overseers later this year.. late in january (2014) i got an email from one of my contacts (a fader) who served at bethel for several years, but is no longer at wt hq.

  he still has a lot of close contacts within the service department and in other departments at patterson and knows people in all of the ny offices.

  i kept this email set aside on a flash drive and haven't shared it with anyone - figuring i'd publish an article about it later this year when i had more time to do it right.

  Watchtower Corporation Should Turn Into An Old Folks Care Center To Care For Those That Devoted Their Lives To Corporation Causes

  by frankiespeakin in

  what do you think?

  i mean isn't that what jesus their master want as a form of loveing your neighbor especially those that devote their life to them and their silly dream about being god's organization..

  I agree wholeheartedly. They have branch sites that would serve wonderfully as an Old Soldiers Rest Home. They could pay Witnesses to care for them on a 24 hr. basis. I know, ain't-a-gonna happen, but they could. Instead these D.O.'s are going to be relegated to a single-wide in a retirement court and have to live off a small Social Security check, along with their aches and pains and progressive health deterioration. They'll probably realize then, like we already have, that they had been hood-winked. All I say is welcome to the club and hope to see you on this forum.

  Why don't you study history-World War 1, and World War 2, and see how we seem to be heading for World War 3. With your practical and useful knowledge you may save yourself.
