Hello it's me !
by wozza inhi everyone ,with the change in the format of this site i realised it might be easier now to change my avatar to be actually of me rather than a screaming little horror ,sure i get that way sometimes but i think presenting myself as i am is probably better.
it is a pix of me climbing part of the beautiful flinders ranges in south australia some time ago ,kind of symbolizes the struggle out of the wts ,it turned out to be a beautiful climb and worth it.. if anyone recognises me please feel free to pm maybe we can catch up.

I don't like it when people's names get turned into some kind of joke. In school I had a Russian friend (Oliver Klozoff ) He and I were constantly the butt of jokes because of our names.

Why is there no dollar for dollar accounting available to the congregation members showing exactly where their donations are being spent? -

Do you believe God is directing the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses and if so, was it his direction that led your organization to make and uphold policies that made it possible for known pedophiles to repeat their crimes against children unpunished, unless 2 or more people saw them do it? -

Jw kids setting off fire alarms in hotels
by purrpurr ina friend of mine is staying at a hotel next to one of the big convention sites this weekend.
yesterday she tells me one of the hotels had to be evacuated and the fire brigade called when the fire alarm went off.. it turned out to be a bunch of jw kids having a prank.
she had been speaking to the hotel manager who told her that this happens every year and only when the jw's come to stay!.

Why don't they pull the fire alarm at the assembly??? That would be one way to pass the time, lol
The Assembly is the place where they spend hour upon hour under the influence of a high control group where day upon day they subtly yet systematically are taught to think more highly of themselves than is normal and to look down upon and to disregard "worldly" people and their organizations. They've built up such a level of physical and mental energy and frustration that it has to explode in some form or another. They are able to unleash it upon those who they feel are deserving and in this case the hotel staff is their first contact with non Witnesses authority all day.

I Made the Literature Trolley Run Away Today - Twice
by cofty ini popped into town this morning to buy an anniversary card for mrs cofty.
it is market day on a saturday and it's tourist season so the town was very busy.
here is a picture of the scene from a year ago... two cult carts were in their favourite place being guarded by none other than one of the elders who was on my judicial committee, his wife and another jw woman in her electric disability buggy.

Funny story....the Mrs and I had a good laugh about the woman popping a wheelie in her scooter and practically mowing down the pedestrians on the sidewalk in her effort to scurry away from you. I've had similar reactions myself at my own front door or when I've encountered JW's "preaching" in public places.
Part of me feels sorry for these folks because I was once in their shoes. They get so upset because none of their beliefs are provable and on some level they know this, even though they've been convinced otherwise by their weekly indoctrination sessions (aka meetings).
Everything you said to them was true and therein lies the problem. Plain truth and the light of day are a direct threat to everything they've built their lives upon and upon which their psychological stability is resting. At this point they need to believe fairy tales, just to keep going. It's very sad to see this from the other side now that I've done the hard work and paid the consequences of having broken through it myself.

by Sabin inmr vincent toole, he gets 3 meals a day his accommodation, daily exercise & a degree to be a lawyer.
they are asking for kids ice-cream money so they can send their monkeys to uni to get them off child abuse cases, while telling the ones giving the money not to get a higher education.
holy shit i never thought about that before.

When I was in Bethel one of my friends was a new JW convert who had recently graduated from college. We worked side by side in the factory until one day he was told that he would be assigned to the Legal Department and sent to law school. They passed the rest of us over because we had listened to their advice to to Pioneer and pursue Bethel service instead of pursuing a higher education. Instead, they chose someone who was recently "part of the wicked world" to invest the time and money on educating instead of one of those who had spent their entire life following their direction. -

ARC: why the contstant secrecy?
by SecretSlaveClass inanyone watching the inquiry would have heard the org's attorney asking that the documents outlining the stucture and mechanics of the wbts be kept confidential.
all this subversive and clandestine behavior is not helping their image.
what do you all suppose is potentially damnimg in these documents?

They insist on confidentiality because they aren't confident that their actions and policies are being directed by Jehovah. If they were confident in Jehovah, they'd lay their cards on the table and trust that Jehovah would make sure things turned out in his/their favor.
