the plan is to build many new kingdom halls with the "commercial' appearance.
store front flat roof etc.
after completion the gb will announce the tribulation is upon us!
Sorry guys. I don't buy it. In order for this to be true the whole GB would have to be truly evil and working a sinister plan (like Dr. evil). I have seen no evidence of this. On the contrary they all act like totally deluded fully indoctrinated and brainwashed fools who lack the education required to run the worldwide printing and real estate company that they have been endowed with.

my wife's parents who are pretty obsessed with the watchtower religion are going on holiday more than they are at home these days and spending money like it is something evil to be got rid of.
i have not been to a meeting in a long time but after reading the thread on hysteria by campaign of hate and the whole tv broadcasting thing i got to wondering if they really are ramping up the 'sense of urgency'.
many on here are better informed than me so i'd be interested to hear whether this is a common thing..
It's the same ol rigamerole.
if you, like me, have noticed the sudden increase in hysteria in the khs right now, i put it down to that jw tv site.
its's far more extensive than i thought it was, i thought it was just 1, 1 hour program a month.
there's a s*** load of videos on that site.. and the real problem, from just watching a clip from each video, is that these guys are clearly "mentally unstable".
Ttattelder
when so they play the broadcast? I've never heard of a hall doing that. I'm imagining on a Saturday after service or something
i have come to a startling and sad realisation!.
i have no real friends!.
i have always been extremely active in every aspect of the org, since childhood.
being that this is not "ex jws" and in fact, more driven by atheists talking a bunch of crap, im not even going to address you people like you know anything about jws because you dont.
nor am i going to assume you know the bible because none of you do.. and yes, im speaking down at you all because you men have actually went out your way to make a site to speak down at an entire group of people.
yet i bet you cant even handle a single uswer talking down at you, like you talk down about jws can you?.
christ, my mind feels f***ed.
there is so many layers of indoctrination and rules and regulations in this, whatever this is (religion?
cult?
my wife is listening in today.
i hear the speaker talking about "godless" people.
they have not made a thorough investigation about creationism vs evolution.
i have have come to realize most "rank and file" jw's are mentally unstable-to-ill and here is why.... http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/mental-issues.php.

Based on my very non scientific observations of dubs that I have met I think there may be a higher percentage of dubs with mental illness than the rest of the population. These numbers may be skewed by
1. Those with mental illness may be more attracted to the prepackaged friends that the Borg offers as well as the promise of the paradise fixing their problems.
2 Born ins without any mental illness may be more likely to leave the Borg. They may be quicker to see the cult for what it really is.
out of the blue my wife started to ask me about my feeling about the borg.
i told her i didn't want to talk about it...she persisted.
she already knows how i feel, i told her that my biggest beef is that they use mind control, and yep she went in to how i was an apostate and how she doesn't want to be married to an apostate.
