  So sick of the abuse...

  by iwasblind in

  2. experiences

  i am still serving as an elder but just hanging in there.

  i think their quandry is that they don't see me out in the field, but when they need encouragement and decent prayer they come to me.. i just got off the phone to this poor sister who i have only met twice.

  she is not even in my congregation (her sister is).

  The public prosecuter is interested in getting information on JWs.

  background information.

  i myself am in full fade mode with an overly active jw wife, who refuses to discuss any point whatsoever.

  a friend who is not a jw nor has ever been a jw; he studied for a few months, then realized what an evil cult it is and stopped.

  Background information
  

  I myself am in full fade mode with an overly active JW wife, who refuses to discuss any point whatsoever. A friend who is not a JW nor has ever been a JW; he studied for a few months, then realized what an evil cult it is and stopped. His wife is an overly zealous JW and his wife and my wife are in the same congregation.
  

  We get together from time to time and discuss what has been happening with our cult wives. So his wife was given a part on the meeting about apostates, which is really an evil thing to do from the congregation because they know of the contact we have. This is part of their strategy to drive a wedge between him and his wife, this infuriated him and so he called one of the national newspapers (Bild Zeitung) and mentioned some of the evilness/hypocracy of the WTBS. Specifically he mentioned how the R&F are being coerced into donating funds and the WTBS are then investing in the stock market, in particular companies dealing in weapons. (There is a thread on this.) The newspaper wants more information.
  

  He then called the public prosecutor and mentioned the same things, the public prosecutor is very interested in learning more. This occurred in Germany.

  I shall keep you posted if anything comes of this, and I personally will be very active in providing information to the public prosecutor.

  Mobile Hotspot - JWFACTS.COM - Assembly & Conventions

  by thedepressedsoul in

  here is an idea i tested.

  works at both assemblies and conventions.

  i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.

  What I want to do is rip off the Borg web layout and rewrite the entire site including info from JW Facts and links to CoC and other apostate literature.

  Copytrans, if you do that make it available to us all.

  things you dont hear: Protest against Jehovah's Witnesses event in central Israel turns violent

  by goingthruthemotions in

  it funny how the cult will imbelish on somethings and others they just sweep under the rug and you never hear anything about it again.

  i was just doing some searches on the internet and stumbled on this.

  i had heard that the dub's were trying to get people to go to israel and then you never hear anything after that.

  You have a $100,000,000 budget to do a global campaign against the WTBS worldwide. How would you spend it?

  by JWchange in

  what if by inheritance, winning the lottery or any other way, you suddenly got your hands on $150m after tax.

  you maybe would spend a third of this giving your extended family financial security for life.

  you maybe would buy a boat and a few investment properties.

  I would set up some kind of Trust Fund to assist ex JWs dealing with the affects the many years of psychological abuse or other needs. The fund would also assist (financially) anyone wanting to take legal action against the WTBS for whatever reason.

  Then use social media to make known that this Trust Fund actually exists, this would keep costs down and allow the propagation of these ideas to be more targeted.

  I love it when Brits swear.

  Well I was in the Royal Air Force and based at RAF Brawdy (West Wales) in the 80s, there were also Americans on the base. In the bar on the base we had a swear bottle, so if you were to swear you would have to out something in the bottle. One evening there was an American servicewoman in the bar and asked what it was, so to was explained that if you swear you have to put something in the bottle. She thought it was such a great idea, she put some money in the bottle and started to swear.

  Well, what she though was swearing, she never said a single worn that we (Brits) considered to be a swear word.

  What other Shenanigans can we expect to see in the next 2 years?

  by John Aquila in

  2. beliefs

  its been a little over 2 years since i left the watchtower.

  in that time the magazines have been cut, the birth of jwtv, jw-org.

  carts for preaching, removed district overseers, cut assemblies, demand all the money from the congregations, stop construction and layoff bethelites, change the format of the tmschool .

  I do not think they will change anything that reduces the total time spent on the JW activities, thats part of keeping control, just keep everybody busy so they have no time to think about anything or research anything. The house to house work stays, even-though it makes no sense.

  i have a confession to make.

  a strange urge is building in my brain... each time i see a jw literature cart on the street it builds.

  it is becoming a stronger and stronger thought in my mind.

  Go up to cart, have a nice chat with the brothers, then offer to buy them a coffee. Go get the coffee and put in some very strong laxative. Then wait and watch them run with the cart.
