  Sorry I don’t live in the USA, but just looked up what level 3 means. It’s the worst of the worst. I can’t understand what they were thinking when they appointed him.

  Fellow exElders: did you ever get to hear of ...

  when i was serving as an elder, it because relatively common to hear of wild drunken house parties of witness youths.

  i investigated one, it was so bad that the cops turned up and found empty bottles of whiskey on the lawn and smashed out on the road.

  but every led went cold, with all the kids clamming up.

  How come I never got invited to these parties. Lol

  Seriously though, it’s not the elders kids, it’s the elders themselves you have to worry about. Apart from Tony Morris, I knew of 2 previous elders, and one currently serving elder, who are alcoholics. The currently serving elders father, as relayed to me by my PIMI father, was also a raging alcoholic. So I guess that makes 4 in a 200km radius.

  Easy way to count time. It saves face in the KH and keeps the elders off my back.

  the whitewashing of tm111 from jw history continues - tending to confirm that he was booted.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ghbhv6961a.

  i'm pretty sure the cult got him to sign a nice nda - in exchange for a lifetime residency in the house bought by wt..

  I remember something in the past about that incident. Was she posting as huckleberry, on tik tok? This has been around for at least a couple of months.

  I really don’t think it will be long before we hear of “Big T” getting D-eed. Sort of got a rhyme to it that. He will have to fall on the sword sooner or latter.

  and lack of genuine new adult converts
  

  There were a couple that were briefly attending meetings when I was PIMI. They were young. She was a supervisor in a government department and he was in business, building. Over all, a lovely couple and would have been a real asset to JW.borg. Then one day, for no reason, they just stopped. After I left the JWs, I by chance, bumped into them in town. I explained my situation, and asked their thoughts on the religion. Their reply focused on 2 things: the internet and CSA. Seems all the good ones have gone.

  JW Businessmen

  i was never a jw, but came across a few in my travels.

  one jw businessman i dealt with seemed to be honest, trustworthy and reputable 👍👌.

  another i knew was the kind of bloke who, if he told me that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, i'd watch sunrise and sunset just to make sure.

  Yup a mixture of good and bad. I knew of one brother who fired another for dishonesty.

  Compared to other religions. What that Wt is asking for is very modest. It’s about the cost of a coffee and biscuit at the coffee shop, in this country. $100 million a month may be quite modest to their outward expenses. Are they making absorbent sums of money at the cost of their members. I’d suggest they could be going broke. Also remember that, many developing countries are not financially self sufficient, and would be a cost to Wt.

  i know that some people on the board have experience of being mormons, so i would be interested in your feedback.

  at church this afternoon it was an uncanny experience.

  in the past i've read a lot about mormons, so i thought i was prepared in general for what it would be like.

  Since leaving the JWs, I have become fascinated in the LDS. Yes I agree, it’s nicer, but weirder, older cousin. As a lifestyle choice I wished I had been born LDS.

  I must admit, I to, am surprised about lack of sightings of Tony Morris. I’d really like a pic of his bottle recycle bin. That would be really telling.
