Thucydides said: “The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.”
Let's hope he comes here....Even the bravest need support and comfort.

Since learning TTATT and leaving, Saturday mornings are a real blessing, as they probably are for many of you. Slow moving, mellow music, strong coffee, recliner sitting ….. a true respite to a busy week. Part of my Saturday slow-down is to catch up on this site and have a few chuckles with my friends here along the way.
This post caught my eye…. Well, even though I’ve been away for a while, this got my blood boiling! They are ‘SPINING” a failed prophesy into a triumph! It shouldn’t have surprised me at all, as the lies are getting bigger and bigger. But it is so bizarre; I had to make sure the program was real. It read like something that could be posted as a spoof, you know just for sh**s and giggles. But it’s TRUE!
Although as Christians we endeavor to love and show mercy, I cannot help but wish vengeance against them. When will they get their total comeuppance?

Get ready for phone calls from Elders either this week or when the next CO visit happens.
by EndofMysteries ini got a call the other day, it looks like the gb is telling everyone to contact all inactive ones, let them know they are missed, etc, and to do it within a week.

Memorial season? Boost attendance/donations? Also April is close.....get some easy time calling on inactive ones and some gossip along the way. After all, 30 hours go terribly slow sitting at a mag stand!

My JW sister left JW husband
by umbertoecho inafter years of looking down on me for not being "in the truth", being told (more or less) that my daughter died because i did not have the "truth" and therefore god's approval.
my sister has, after forty years of marriage and fifty years of being in the truth....left her husband and her dis-fellowshipped son and gone to live with our other sister (who by the way is disassociated).
i am amazed at this turn of events, as i have always been led to believe that they were a fine example of how complete and spiritually protected they were as a family for being in the jw religion.

Yes she is in crisis. Be consistantly loving. If she wants truly see - she will. If not be true to yourself and act in a way not to have regrets.

Subliminal Messages Dispensed Through Memes and Imagery
by Faithful Witness inthis might sound like an abstract idea, but i would love to hear your thoughts.
there seem to be so many questions that can not be answered in their literature and research materials.
there are things they just "know," even though they are often unable to find where it was published in printed material.. how many of their beliefs are being changed, shifted and spread throughout the congregation, through use of comments alone?

Israel National News reports a most amazing story about JWs
by AndersonsInfo inhttp://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/flash.aspx/288677#.ux9165ao7l9.
court rejects missionary lawsuit against netanya schools for voiding leasethe tel aviv magistrates court has rejected a claim by a missionary group, saying that the school they had been renting space in unlawfully voided their contract , and asking the court to instruct the school to pay nis 108,000 in compensation and mental anguish, as well as legal expenses.. it began when a missionary group, via a non-profit organization called "mitzpe l'yisrael", rented space at the raziel school in netanya to conduct daily afternoon activities.
shortly after signing the rental agreement , the school authorities discovered that the group was, in reality, the notorious missionary sect of "jehovah's witnesses".

yes the health insurance is probably a concern. But financially they are pretty well off. At the end of each visit they always got their pockets lined with cash gifts- tips? NON TAXED. Lets say $300 a week x30 yrs. 6.5% = over 1M ! Nice little nest egg.
