  My "Leaving" Letter

  by lambsbottom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  through what i have learned from reading bro.

  russell's writings about the ransom for all, coupled with the blood issue, i feel the need to let my friends know that i am making a stand for truth.

  i could have lost my wife to the blood issue during pregnancy.

  Don't send it, that's my opinion, and has nothing to do with the contents.
  It is just the type of thing the watchtower police (elders) want to see, to give them an excuse to DA you. You are then showing them you accept their authority. Fading is showing them you do not accept their authority and they hate that.
  

  No JW will talk to you on the street after you send it. If you do not send it you may have the chance to mention one or the other point to someone, which may disturb their indoctrination trance they are in.

  I would not get that add where I live. Can you make it available somehow for others to see, I am sure Scientology wouldn't mind getting extra airtime.

  Specific Comments By R&F About May Broadcast

  i know there are many posts discussing the may money requesting televangalism...er... broadcast i mean!

  but i wanted to start one where anyone can put what they have heard any non-exjw, non-apostate witnesses say good or bad about the broadcast.

  i don't see how it can't rattle followers... but then again i might be surprised how they can twist things (2+2=5).

  My wife said "It is wonderful".

  Just to qualify this a little, since I stopped going to meetings and have clearly shown my apostate side, she has gone into drone overload, more service, studying more, not even missing the occasional meeting, and sadly reporting everything I say and do to the elders.

  German Branch visit talk Mark Sanderson (Parents; don't hinder young children to get baptized)

  by Daniel1555 in

  2. friends

  the video streaming of the german branch visit program was excrutiating 3.5 hours long.. i just went to see the last 45 min (part of mark sandersons talk).. i think sanderson is quite a sympathetic speaker and he kind of made a loving impression.. he didn't mention controversial stuff (except for one thing i will come to soon).

  he mostly talked about how to find joy, even when life is not easy, and how much the gb loves the rank and file.. one point seemed soooo important to him.

  parents and children.

  Daniel.

  Thankyou very much that you took time to watch this and express some of the information. I am still licking my wounds due to the years of indoctrination I endured and could not face listening.

  May tv broadcast

  by New day in

  somebody on another thread suggested that those still in could express their opinions on steven lett's performance.

  i am still in and i was shocked, dismayed and saddened by it.

  i became a witness over 30 yrs ago and the issue of donations was a non-issue for so many years.. now, it is a huge one for the org.

  Maybe we are missing something here. Lett's abysmal performance may have been deliberate for one of the following two reasons:

  1. Because he is an undercover apostate and just wants to help people get out

  or
  

  2. Because the GB really do want the hangers-on and those with doubts to leave, this will allow them to better assess how many KH they can sell-off to move the money into other projects

  JA

  We never went to such an extreme, it was just the stock in the KH we had to destroy.

  Attention Lurkers- what the org is really doing

  by stuckinamovement in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the message has changed dramatically from the good news of the kingdom and imitation of jesus to the following:.

  1. keep your eye simple and try to find a low paying part time job so you can pioneer.

  such jobs might be janitorial or house cleaning, yard care, etc.
