Vancouver, BC. Canada (bound volumes from 1940-2000) approximately - to Give Away!!

by RAYZORBLADE in

i am acting as an in-between for a good friend who is not part of this site.

his family were a century involved in the wtbts in the lower bc mainland; not to mention nw washington state.. he is no longer a member of the jw's.

we're great friends; i knew him 25 years ago, long before i discovered this site (love it simon: yes, still all those years later).. anyways, he wants to get rid of bound volumes from approximately from the years: 1940 - until - 2000.. he asked me to intervene.

Wow ! I wish I was living in the Vancouver area- these are gems to have. Especially the 1940's. Someone please snatch these up.

Unexpected conversation with a long time JW friend (in good standing)

by OneDayillBeFree in

so tonight after the meeting, this brother whome i've grown up with invited me to eat.

he had come almost an hour late to the meeting and looked kind of down and a bit depressed.

i agreed to go eat.. there was very little talking at first.

I also had a similar conversation with a long time JW friend, who confided about taking a break. It appears that many feel as your JW friend. Thanks for sharing and keep planting some seeds.

After watching a few more videos, I believe a more fitting name for the clown would be:

Anthony MORON III

Congregation Funds

by EmptyInside in

jw
friends

i don't claim to understand anything about finance.

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.

wannaexit

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.

the expression "JDUB"

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..

wannaexit

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.
