I couldn't take it anymore, although still in because of my wife, I did this...

by LevelThePlayingField in

i dressed up in a hoodie, double layer so that the cameras at the kingdom hall couldn't recognize me.

i looked in the mirror up and down so i knew that the cameras, at least at the angle that i knew couldn't see my face.

i took this disassociation letter, stuck it in the envelope, labeled it, "(congregation's name...boe" by hand and sealed it.

It's hard to tell. She's definitely 100% in right now. The brothers & sisters have been coming by a lot with meals and things and this has been a persistent thing for a while now.

But I think in her mind she is happy just to get back "home", and honestly I think sometimes she wants a break from the meetings. I have mentioned to her that the org is selling of KH because of the lack of money, but she says, 'yeah but at least they are prudent with the money & discreet'. So as far as TTATT goes, it will probably take a lot more time.

Did you ever think you'd see the day when churches & the org would have to sell off their properties to pay for victims care/compensation?

How about having a special undercover mode so PIMOs can browse the site with greater security?

by Island Man in

when you visit the site it says jehovahs-witness big and bold.

a pimo might be browsing the site and a jw might come up behind him unexpectedly and notice he's visiting a site about jws other than jw.org, which can lead to the pimo reported for viewing apostate information.. to help remedy this risk, i was thinking about the possibility of having a button that activates an undercover mode where the title of the site is not prominently displayed so it's not easily apparent to an accidental eavesdropper that it's an apostate website.

also, the color-scheme and graphics can be different so that it doesn't look like the regular site.

Simon, just wanted to say I appreciate everything you do in providing this site for all of us. Thanks!

My take on Sunday's R.C. cleveland ohio

by nowwhat? in

7100 peak att.

28 baptised .038 growth.

don't ask ages.. absolutely nothing new morning symposium.

LevelThePlayingField

I have noticed that the baptisms are usually right around a .03% growth rate this year. This is probably accurate for the U.S. But I suspect that in third world countries it's a lot higher and that's where they will probably get their 1.5% total growth from.

Absolutely nothing became of it. The elders evidently never knew it was me. And now with me moving back to Chicago, hopefully they will never know.

I plan on starting my fade once I get there too.

how a brave intern saved the life of a jehovah's witness infant by ignoring the wishes of the parents and administering a life saving blood transfusion.

So, yeah. I just watched this myself a few minutes ago.

Wow. So, this baby was dead on the table and the monitor said 0 Zero. That was it.

So, this intern must have said in his mind "NO F%$#CKING WAY! And decided to transfuse this baby. And THAT my friends is who you see here. This 20 year old wasn't supposed to be alive.

But she IS. She is because someone said I want to save this baby's life no matter what!!!!!

Now, if that don't move you.....nothing will.

Moving Back to Chicago - Don't care

by LevelThePlayingField in

my wife was diagnosed with ms about two years ago.

we have been living in ohio for the last 5 years but were recently assigned to a new congregation because of the dissolving and sale of our congregation/kh.

my wife's symptoms spiked after being relocated to our new hall back in january.

LevelThePlayingField

Yeah, I plan to fade once I get there. I think my wife is in the same boat. Maybe this will be the best thing ever. (since sliced bread) Ha!

Data-dog I agree with you. There definitely is something up. A JW could reason that it's just making use of all the seats. But why did it take all this time to determine this? And why all the sell-offs?

I mean, sure, go ahead and maximize the available seats. That's fine. But why sell all those halls? It just doesn't smack right. And when something doesn't smack right, it's not right. Right?

Thanks so much for your thoughts. After I told her the news about my job change she seemed relieved. Hopefully better times ahead.
