  my first post! (long read sorry in advance)

  by Letts Party in

  long time lurker, first time poster here finally looking to get some things off my chest.

  i've always been a very curious person with tons of questions about everything, and i also care deeply particularly about societal issues like social injustice, racism, and homophobia.

  that, coupled with how boneheaded all the elders in my congregation are (except for one), led me to ask even more questions that led me to find ttatt.. .

  Let's party- Thanks for sharing your story. A lot of us here r in similar situations. I too have shared some of my doubts with my wife and she hasn't turned me in yet. Slow and steady seems to be the best route for me. We have a great marriage and I am going to do everything I can to not allow the Borg to ruin that. I wish you the best on your journey and look forward to reading more of your posts.

  " Do not ask permission, just play the video--" service meeting instructions.

  by prologos in

  this statement startled me out of the pleasant mental absence during this week's "service" meeting.. pushing the org.

  explanation: "the listener has time to interrupt, if they want--" .

  together with an incredible boring "study" of an hand held device, or it's stored content, i will be a totally new crop of orgies at the halls,.

  This is a 3 1/2 minute video. I can't imagine how long that would feel like while at the door. I could see people playing this for their rvs but on first contact??? That's nuts.

  i kind of wanted to know if some have made this transition from escaping the satellite/cable monopoly to the large antenaes that require no monthly bills.

  does it work?

  is there a good quality such as hi def?

  We made the jump several years ago. We pay for netflix and Hulu plus. (9$) per month each. We also have an antenna. Saves us a lot of MoneY. Wes till pay around 40$ per month for internet as well.

  Minor Update to circuit accounting scam

  by Justnowout in

  1. watchtower

  many outside are now aware of the scam.... the brother announces a "deficit" at the assemblies.

  what they dont announce is that the so called expenses include a predetermined donation to the branch.

  meaning, the assembly hall is paid for so the basic expenses should be utilities, maybe some speaker expenses and a 52nd share of property taxes and the like.... however the "deficit" always seems to run into the thousands with "expenses incured" totaling 7-10k.

  That's a blatant Money grab. Before I woke up the cost of the assemblies was always something that I questioned. I hope that the increased amounts will help more people begin to wake up.

  Posters do you know of any cases where a devout JW was DF'd for Lesbianism?

  i think this is a hush hush topic among jws but i remember years ago at an assembly i saw two sisters(i am only assuming they were jws they could have been studies or relatives of jws) walking arm and arm like a married couple.

  some of the jws looked at them like they had horns.

  some of the jws moms were covering their small children's eyes and those two women were stared at like they had the plague.

  it's definitely on their minds.

  i attended a funeral recently and a jw told me that the person who died almost made it to the 100 year anniversary of the birth of the kingdom.. curious what comments like this you've heard in your area?.

  (and can't wait for november!).

  there is no chatter at our KH. People are just living there lives. I think that most jdubs think the end is close. They have always thought that though.

  Interesting read. Thanks for posting. It's pretty clear that the Borg is changing from a printing company to a building one. I'm curious how the new rbc arrangement works out. I was talking to a witness relative and he is sure that starting next summer there are going to be tons of new builds in there area. He works on the rbc and says there has been a delay on a lot of projects due to money, and now that there are no more loans things will move quicker. I have a suspision it may not work out that way.

  I enjoy mike and Kim. Recently they made a vid on the KH property in Hawaii. Without that vid I would have had no idea about that. They also threw a shoutout to the youtube channel "my little plastic microphone". I looked it up and loved it. The stuff they do on subliminal messages isn't for me . But that dosent really matter. Others are really into that stuff. I think that there vids help people who are a little bit awake to learn TTATT. If someone is totally indoctrinated then it really doesn't matter what they watch or read.

  Keep up the good work mike and Kim.
