BIG MAC, no way!!!!
I am going to the island on Wednesday, not going to meetings though, obviously!! My mum has been there 10 years now. Her meeting this year is in the morning. Isn't a small world??
Do you know anyone there?? I have a few names but I would PM them to you.
Mental.
this weekend nearly everyone i have ever known or that i am related to is sitting in a convention.
i miss none of it!!!!.
i do not miss:.
Me neither. I did it as a single mom for 4 years. A waste of time.

My mum is in the Shanklin congregation on the IoW.
I've been to that KH a few times.
Poor young man. RIP.
i find it fascinating to see how quickly the society has about faced on the use of the internet.
interestingly they still have not adopted two way communication channels such as facebook, twitter, instagram.
etc.. if you are lurking....why do you think that is?
It's just a load of crap. They are SOOOOOOO scared of feedback.
the other night, i was told about a question that a friend's bible study had asked them.
the bible study asked: "if jesus is perfect, why does he need the 144,000 to help him rule?
" this friend does not know how to answer this question.
It's guff.
with the official letter from the gb to all bodies of elders, a stylized jw.org banner can now be appended to kingdom hall signage.. what an auspicious year this will turn out to be for the organization!!.
among other outcomes, the "link" with the old, baggage-ridden "watchtower bible & tract society" recedes into the background.
furthermore, now you don't pretend to need feet trudging door-to-door - your worker is done at the press of a few directed fingers.
I reckon they might go totally crazy and get a slot on the "God Channel."
How mad would that be?
is it a feeling of---oh no!!?.
are you happy to see them?.
do you have a feeling of consternation?.
I want to smash their face in.
i am moving congregations soon and what is the best way to do it.
do you just show up in the new place and tell the elders you are new there and they will deal with it?.
Don't bother.Same shit. Just geography.
Get a new life away from these people.
It works. Promise.
i realize some people feel they can't just leave the religion.
they have family, friends, position.. some elders mistakenly believe that they might be able to reform the cult from within.
the truth is, the religion is never really going to change.
Pretty soon after I joined the forum and learned the TTAT, I had to DA myself.
I couldn't be part of that shit any longer.
