but,i remember about three years ago , the congregation was asked to allow the society to hold onto the savings,cd,etc,until the congregation needed it.

i forget the reasoning they gave on the matter,maybe the society would collect interests on it.

I remember that letter quite well. The body language of the bro who was reading indicated that he was uncomfortable with it. His face was beet red.

Here is what happened in this area. The congregation gives most of the funds to the society for safe keeping . The understanding was that when these funds were needed for renovating the hall, the money would be returned. (approx. 200,000)

The renovation came and went and there was no mention of the funds safely stored at the bank of watchtower. The watchtower did provide a generous loan however and there was great solicitation for funds week after week. Now the cong is saddled with a large mortgage.

What's disturbing is the fact that few dubs remember the money that was given to society for safe keeping. I mentioned it to someone and this person was clueless. Most dubs tune the meeting out and their reasoning skills are non existing.

I remember when that letter was being read- I turned to my mate and whispered " they just gave away the farm and they don't even realize it".

What a bunch of crooks the whole lot of them.

i've heard the expression jdub coming out of the mouths of a couple of witnesses.

does it mean they know stuff about this organization and could possible be visiting sites such as jwd?.

this is leading me to believe that there are a lot more witnesses that have realized that their religion is a scam..

I guess it was a slang that fell out of use. The first time i ever heard the phrase is here.

thanks to those that responded

Silent Lambs or Who's Rejoicing Now?

by compound complex in

i was looking for current information on silent lambs and came upon what i thought to be recent information (but is nine years old).

strangely prescient .... unity now amongst those "fighting against jehovah" and shock and awe in jehovah's "camp"?

having read the exchanges between rev, bill bowen, and others involved in the silent lambs website, i honestly feel sickened.. i remember when i first started to hear rumblings that "something big" was going down regarding the society's handling of child abuse.

compound, I share your sentiments.

Greetings from Candace Conti

by AndersonsInfo in

candace asked me to tell you thank you for all your kind expressions of support.

this really means a lot to her.

she wants you to know that she is coping well with all the stress and excitement, even though she's had years of anger and frustration because of being abused for so long, first by the molester, and then by the wt.

Candice, I've followed your story very carefully. You are a brave and courageous young woman. Thank you for what you did.

i am trying to get a better picture.
