Should all the JW`s who ever took part in a quick build/renovations take out a class action against the WTB&TS for compensation ?

by smiddy in

let`s face it , the people who took part in quick builds / renovations of kingdom halls , etc, never expected the wtb&ts to sell off the buildings they were so sure was for furthering kingdom interests in this system of things .. they gave their time, effort, money, labour ,free of charge , and then some years later the society sells it off for a profit ?

to the wt ?.

kingdom halls , assembly halls , etc.

What the WBTS is doing to people in this regard is unethical but not illegal. The property is theirs to do with what they please.

Someone anonymously tipped the elders?

by raven in

so here an update on my current situation, in a nutshell i've been trying to quietly fade for the past 5 months.. well, my mom somehow found out that i am currently fading and that i live with my boyfriend (for more info on this check my previous posts) i told her yes i live with him and yes i no longer want to be a jw.

anyways, yesterday she met my boyfriend.. awkward.

and after lunch she pulled me aside to tell me that the po came up to her (he was part of my jc when i was reproved) he said to her "someone came to me and said - i cannot say who so they will remain anonymous- but that your daughter is living with someone" my mom confirmed and apparently he told her that i have one week to confess this, and if i don't my parents are obligated to tell them everything.. what kind of nonsense is that?

You are giving other people WAaaay too much power.

Let the PO ask his questions and make demands on your mother. Let your mother obey his orders. Let them summon you. Let your phone ring. Let all the little culties do what culties do best.

Grab yourself a Coke and a bag of popcorn and enjoy the show.

I always thought my dog was very happy because he was ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN AN ENJOYABLE GAME. I swear, they take the most simple pleasures of life and pervert them into a tale of how sick this world is.

they were also highly encouraging people to volunteer to go to the fort to clean up brothers houses.

Give to reputable charity organizations only.

The Canadian Red Cross has initiated a fund raising effort to help victims of this fire.

Nice weather this weekend. Made me think.....

by punkofnice in

there was a time when as a family, we'd host a bbq in our large back garden.

we'd have a small gazebo, tables and chairs.

the reggae music would be pumping out but not too loud.

So what are you going to do now?

Shooting in the foot (homophobic video)

by Syme in

with the newly released homophobic video by the wts, it gets clearer that those people can't stop shooting themselves in the foot.

they are already under examination and de facto trial by the australian committee; more and more people and officials in western democracies inquire into their abusive tactics and put them under the microscope, and what do they do?

they release a video which confirms those worries.

This whole situation makes me heart sick for all the young gays and lesbians stuck in that cult without the slightest idea the information they are being fed is a load of $#!%.

The extremes to which religion can lead the mind

by Zoos in

just reading a news item on cnn about albinos being killed for their body parts.

"in some african countries, albinos' body parts are believed to bring wealth and good luck.

as a result,attackers chop off their limbs and pluck out organs, and sell them to witchdoctors."http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/30/africa/malawi-albinos-face-extinction/index.html.

While the people who practice this slaughter are extremists and few in number, they are driven by the same religious fervor that causes a few extremists elsewhere in the world to destroy their own families over one's questioning of the Watchtower governing body.
