The Money Is Drying Up In The Organization!
by minimus inmy mother told me that the congregation has been pretty much begging for money for the local kingdom hall.
after the presiding overseer expressed the state of debt and severe lack on contributions, he then asked the congregation to approve a resolution to send mor money to the society!!!
i don't know how they are able to function.

Question about reaching out to old friends
by zamzummim inhi all, i have a quick question about reaching out to old friends you used to know.
i was able to do some research on the internet and came across the name of an old friend of mine from when i was a jw.
there was actually quite a bit of information about his life and he's no longer married to the woman he was married to when we were both part of the org.

The most condescending thing said to you by the (sm)elders.
by diamondblue1974 ini wasnt the most academic of children although i had some capability but i could read quite well by the time i was 4 years old at least for my age; i have always read as a child and still read now as an adult both professionally (research) and for pleasure.
i have always been able to write too...and pretty much advanced as well as my peers did in school...perhaps i am lucky, i certainly feel like i am when illiteracy amongst adults and children is rife at present...however.. i remember when i was 16 the wts in the uk were pushing through a scheme teaching those who were not as able to read and write...and an elder in the hall made a point of coming to me and suggesting that i should actually attend the training!!
!....i explained that i could read and write well enough and didnt need to be taught basic literacy... he said that i might learn something new and should respect jehovahs order of things and show appreciation...i did decline his kind offer rather abruptly....but wtf??

Is yours a PURPOSE DRIVEN life?
by Terry inare you coasting along day by day taking it as it comes?.
are you planning for emergencies and setting aside for the unexpected?
sacrificing here and there to have something later?.

Giving your life for a Brother or Sister, would you have done it?
by JH inoften, we hear that jw's would give their life for a brother or sister anywhere in the world.
the more i know jw's, the more i say, "heck no"!
since jw's believe in the resurrection, why bother?
