The majority of brothers that became JW's around the 60's are still working today, so sad. They didn't plan for the future, medical expenses have exhausted their saving...

he has long since passed away and the company is now huge being the major player in flood resteration and employing 100's of people one of the owners i spoke to recently was sick due to using to many chemicals but carries on becouse he loves the money even though he's worth millions.

Scientology creed...All men have inalienable rights to think freely, to talk freely their own opinions (as long it's not unfavorable light about us) and to counter or utter or write upon the opinions of others. Oh really!!!Scientology is famous for filing lawsuits against anyone that speak unfavorable about them, ex members..I wonder if a JW viewed the show what would they think, no doubt they would say it's a cult how could someone be so stupid and join it.....

I owned a house cleaning service employed 8 JW's, a 31 flavor popcorn store and a BBQ restaurant. My doctor told me I need to slow up, I may end up having a heart attack. The restaurant was the killer, 4 kids, elder in a small congregation (3 elders), worked nights from 10pm-7am as a machinist and I still had time for FS.. I was serving where the need is great...The wife managed the restaurant during the day while I slept, crazy times....

Were you aware of the shunning policy when becoming a JW
by UnshackleTheChains infor those who became jws, were you fully aware of the societys cruel shunning policy whilst studying?
i absolutely had no idea such a policy existed until years later.
it really only hit home when reading the horrendous stories on the internet around 2002. .

When I became a JW back in 1970 I wasn't aware of anyone being shunned.I don't recall anyone sitting in the back row or the elders informing me not to talk to someone...I agree with LonghairGal, If I had known no way would I had join. Of course in the early 70's there were very few DF,'s the big one was coming....

I wonder why my JW family haven't told me the end times is right around the corner. I know why, they don't believe
the BS themselves. Or they believe it and can't wait to see me set a blazed, a lovely family I have....

Why Did JWs Abandon Brooklyn for the Sticks?
by Room 215 ini may have missed this, but can anyone tell me what was the pretext the gb concocted to justify their abandonment of a perfectly suitable, high-profile, high-visibility complex in what is arguably the world's greatest metropolis for the bucolic isolation of upstate new york.
any how does the move square with their purported belief in the imminence of armageddon?

I agree with you all and yes I believe also it's a "chronic disease". What is so sickening about the treatment of JW's that are suffering form this, I have known elders who has a booze problem and will df the lower rf for the same problem,hypocritical...When I left the JW's I rejoin my old church and there was a brother that had a drinking problem and the members embraced him, no shunning.
Something I was thinking about, if there is booze gene Jehovah must had known this will be a problem some day. He knew someday mankind will discover the happy juice, someone squeezed some grapes and let it sit too long and we have booze.
