NO! Like a fool, back in my "gung ho", "holier than thou" days, I gave $5k toward building our new KH. Now that I'm retired, I could certainly use that $5k for 'drugs, sex, and rock and roll'. lol

just a reminder if you haven't, to get it back before they sell any more halls.even if you're currently da/df you can still collect any monies owed you by the kingdom hall as far as loans go.we were able to get back $1000 that my mom had loaned the local hall for a loan to build new one.it was documented by the paper that had been given each publisher back then on how much they could/would be willing to give as an outright donation or a loan.
the loan was to be paid back whenever the publisher requested it.
(not a specific date)i can't help but feel that a lot of the old timers that loaned monies to the society and/or k-halls have been forgot about by them or their families.

was a man made date when jesus came and that a generation is not 102 plus years.. why not say something like this.when the disciples asked jesus for a sign and the end of the age.jesus gave them a composite sign and said all these things will take place.when-before the people now living(at the end of the age which no one knows)have all died..
I agree with OTWO
the gb bit off more than they can chew.
they promised that the nwt revised would be available in so many languages by now, and they have failed miserably.. english stands alone.
as a result, they are in damage control mode.
It's an American religion. Started in America, headquartered in America, all gb members live in America, and jehober loves English much better than other languages.
God bless America!

these numbers and letters:--gbr659967--are the only identifying markson this boe..the "informant" who sent it said:.
"this letter came through the congregation inbox and so hasn't got theusual identifying information.
the name of the file is probably thebest way to identify it.
As time passes, the WT will slowly start destroying it's criminal past. Can't do it too fast or it will raise red flags even among the 'company men' but it's definitely starting.

the organization has many problems.
certain doctrines are problematic.
the men who run the organizaion have issues.
Great post!
To me the WT has become WTF! Constantly changing their history and stance on doctrine is a sure sign of instability. I was a jw for over 50 years and finally woke the f*%K up!
Mama's religion and I bought it hook line and sinker, 'cause it's all I knew and was relatively happy until I started losing friends to the 'blood' doctrine. Then I looked! It was like opening Pandora's box for sure.
It's not "too big to fail" imho and is definitely suffering from the internet's exposure.

february 8-14 asstower is titled " a living translation of god's word.
note paragraph 4:.
“4 despite the clear evidence that the personal name of god belongs in the bible, many translations completely omit the sacred name of god.
Interesting that jehober could use his super godly powers to make sure that his "written, inspired word" was ACCURATELY preserved down through history but he couldn't see to it that his NAME was properly preserved. So everything in the bible extremely reliable except where the divinely guided copyists omitted his name? lol

Isn't Jesus the "LION from the tribe of Judah"?

"truth is the most beautiful thing" is a quote from andrea camilleri, author of the montalbano novels among many other writings.. what do you think about that statement ?.
is there anything more beautiful ?
or do other things top it, or come further down the list of beautiful things ?.
The "truth" IS what it is and nothing more! Sometimes it is so beautiful and sometimes heartbreaking! Just think about your own experience as a jdub. The "troof" was so beautiful and comforting but ttatt probably broke your heart until ttatt showed you how beautiful life can be without da "troof".
And that's the truth

some areas of our home are very nice, tidy, clean.
and other rooms are just junk and clutter and clothes and papers.... omg.
and now that we are getting older, we realize that we face a time of transition -- and this is hard to cope with too, as we believed the lie that we would never get old, etc.
Wife and I helped my uber jw MIL get rid of 65 years worth of stuff. She gave a lot of it away to older ones in her cong. That's the good.
The bad----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The remainder of her crap is going to her "garaged sale for jehober" lol. NO sh*t, she is calling it her "garage sale for jehober!"
OMG

at about the 37th minute of this month's broadcast brother loaf of bread says that grieving the holy spirit includes "using deceitful words" isn't that what brother jackson did over and over during the rc testimony he gave?
did he not lie and obfuscate when he said things like "it's not my field"?
this org- strike that - cult is disgusting!
It's only "deceitful word's" if someone else says it. When the "Guardians Of Doctrine" says it, it's "theocratic warfare" lol
