  there are many reasons why we choose a username.

  on this forum, aside from some of the more obvious names associated with our avatars, what does your nickname/username mean or refer to?.

  some are first names.

  Does the Watchtower has a suggestive (quota) on how much you should donate?

  with a possible fall out in the financial area, the watchtower "could" (probaly won't) be in for some hard financial times.. with all the new fancy building, printing presses, halls etc, etc, etc.. now, i haven't been to a meeting in 15 years, i don't remember back then, but is there "an unwritten rule" (10% of your check) about how much money you should give to the wts.

  that the congregation kind of follows ??????????.

  do you think the watchtower will lower themselves more and ask people to start giving more ????

  When an assembly hall was built in our area they had a suggested amount per publisher. I believe it was 5 or 6 dollars canadian.

  My mother, the elder...(No, I'm not kidding)

  by logansrun in

  2. friends

  one of the more unusual secrets in my family is the fact that for years my mother has written every talk my grandfather -- an elder, the service overseer -- has given from the platform.

  a little background: my grandfather was appointed ever since the elder arrangement was put in place in the early 70's.

  he's originally from poland and his english is decent, but not great.

  SOJ explain how your conscience allows you to post on Apostate site?

  by LyinEyes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am really curious as to how you will answer this soj,,,,,,,and any other active jw's who post here, even read here,,,,,,,,,because when i was an active witness,,,,,,,,i was taught that reading any apostate material was wrong.

  i didnt even watch a tv show that talked bad about the jw"s for fear it was an apostate program.. i know if you are caught soj, posting here,,,,,,you would not have been reinstated( you were right?

  ), so did you tell the elders you post here?

  I wonder what the elders of your congregation and your CO would say if you told them you were on this site to "witness". Have you ever told anyone on your elder body about this new method of "witnessing"?

  from silentlambs (bill bowen):.

  on thursday of this week world wide work money will again be spent to protect a pedophile.

  in addition it will also be spent to pay money to a disfellowshipped person in order to find a way to prevent them from assisting the court case of abuse survivors.

  William Osbeck-The CO that helped me get out of the borg.

  by Sadie5 in

  2. friends

  after reading cruzenheart's post on the letter about her father, and the treatment he received from the co, william osbeck, and the elders of his congregation, it brought back my own memories of this particular co and his treatment of people.

  it was 1995 and one of the hardest years of my life.

  in february of that year, i learned i was pregnant with our fifth child.

  WOW! That's quite an experience Sadie. The higher ups in this org. don't care about people and their needs, their only concern is time spent in service and keeping their own image up. Through the years I've met many CO's and DO's that could care less about the members of the congr.

  I am glad your life is on track. Thanks for sharing your exp.

  hey folks, not to send chills through anyones spine, but it has come to my attention, there was a former member to this forum that seems to be causing some members (women) some problems and unnecessary grief.

  THANKS for the warning. Sometimes we can get lax and forget that not everyone is sincere and honest.

  Who is your least favorite GB member?

  by logansrun in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  okay, i always look with suspicion on topics that talk about how evil certain jws are, but i am a little curious about this -- who are the "bad guys" on the gb and who are the "good guys" (if any)?

  my experience: ted jaracz -- the bad guy.

  i've discussed a little of my contact with him in the past.

  Ted Jaracz gives me the creeps. He appears to be very arrogant and hard-nosed.
