  Is it Time For Watchtower Begging Again?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  alas, some expensive witness traditions have ended - like food service at assemblies or mailed subscriptions.. however, since 1996, the society has had a tradition of begging for money in the november watchtower.. i think they hope rich witnesses will think about re-balancing their portfolios or making changes before the end.

  of the taxable year in december.. .

  lawyers and new printing facilities ( to be on-line in 2005) cost a lot of money, so look for their appeal soon.. .

  hello this is my first post and i wanted to introduce myself so here goes.. my name is lainey, and i have not been to the meetings for about 4 years now.. i am 28 and work as a doctor in a big city university hospital as a sho.. also for my sins, i am cassies little sis, and i am staying with him for a little while, as i am signed off sick for the next month with a stress related disorder.. after the death of my older bro and my dad within the past few months, i started suffering from terrible nightmares, most of them connected in some way to my witness upbringing.. me and cassie have talked for some length and he suggested that i spend some time having a look on this site and meeting others who have had similar issues to face in life.. i hope you are all are better listeners than cassie, who tends to fall asleep when i am in the middle of talking to him.

  (brothers!!!

  ) btw he hates being called cassie lol.. anyway i am not a big talker, so i probably wont post a lot, however i am going to scout around for a while.. thanks .

  Hi there Lainey - enjoy exploring through this site. As said before, the majority here are X-JW's & JW's and then there are some of us who are thrown into the middle with parental or othersuch units who've gone to the Borg. I think you'll start feeling better about yourself and life.

  Questions for consideration: Society's move to Patterson

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no doubt many of you are aware of the new project that society is taking on, regarding it's expansion of it's patterson complex, the sale or soon to be sale of its brooklyn building and the new printing presses that cost $50 million.. .

  i haven't really thought about why they are doing this, but now i do, some questions come to mind.

  i have no answers and would be grateful if someone could give me their best guess.. 1) new york is the best center for transporting goods, you have three airports, rail links and major highways.

  You mean I have to drive all the way to Patterson to circle the Watchtower complex three times? There goes my annual holiday Mecca

  The area where they curently are is worth a TON of MONEY. They're close to DUMBO (Down under the Manhat. bridge overpass) which is upcscaling their art gallerys, bars - basically becoming the Brooklyn version of SoHo. Overpriced shops with 'culture' attached to it. Plus taxes in NJ are MUCH less than NY, but I don't know how that works for non-profit, NGO, companies. Secluding themselves makes them seem more cultish....very interesting.............

  Can people be addicted to their cyberlives (if they so decide to invent one)?

  What would it be called? Multicyberality?

  Email this story Oct 6, 10:14 am ET LONDON (Reuters) - Too much text messaging? You may need professional help.

  More and more people are succumbing to so called "technology addictions," spending hours tapping on mobile phones or surfing the Internet, one of Britain's best known psychiatric clinics said Saturday.

  "There has been a huge rise in behavioral addictions," including excessive texting, said a spokeswoman for the Priory Clinic which treats 6,000 patients a year for a range of addictions including gambling, eating disorders and drugs.

  In the Sunday Telegraph newspaper the head of the clinic's addictions unit said some patients were spending up to seven hours a day text messaging.

  "We have a situation where some people look down on alcoholics and cocaine addicts, but then go and spend five hours in an Internet chat room," Dr Mark Collins told the paper.

  1. Do we delete the user? Pondering now..........no we don't delete them

  2. Do we try to reason with such a person and get them to stay here? I don't think reasoning will work, but mentioning it to someone in the Cong. would always be 'nice' heehhe OR maybe they will wise up?!

  3. What is to be lost or gained by either course of action? Personal satisfaction of either tattling or saving them from the borg.

  The only way I really see it is this is Simon's World ... we're all just a bunch of satellites .
