The GB will "slip in a 'Mickey'"/bible, only to create a high or incapacitation
only to further control them, either to keep eating Watchtower re-hash or
to slip in another new/'used' control, called 'new light.'

WTS should not get more than that for each of their bibles.

Kim,, so glad you are getting this fact and your experience out to the public. I am all for the public exposure of evil, hateful policies of the WTS.
So many best wishes to you and your immediate family as you regain your own life back.

Audio of Candace Conti and Bill Bowen at the RNA 2013 conference
by cedars inthe audio file is 1 hour 28 minutes in total.
the first hour is the panel speaking, and the remaining 28 minutes is the questions from journalists.. here is the link.... http://192.185.44.220/media/13austin/podcast/06%20precon_%20the%20continuing%20story%20pf%20clergy%20abuse%20beyond%20roman%20catholics.mp3.
candace conti in particular did an amazing job, and the comments from the journalists show how appreciative they were of her bravery in speaking out on such a personal issue.. bill was also informative with some of the firsthand accounts he was able to give.. .

Missionaries to vacate all missionary homes
by seenitall inlatest news from a source (missionary in foreign land):.
no more missionary homes anywhere in the world.. all missionaries presently in missionary homes must vacate.
must get housing on your own / from the locals.. circuit and district overseers have moved into many of these former missionary homes.. reasons: liability, cost savings, real estate to be sold or used for other purposes.. needless to say, many of these longtime servants are very unsettled.

not surprised,,Gilead as a missionary school changed about a yr or two. ,, many branches closing,,
Many questions tho,,are these missionaries basically going to be "special pioneers" now,, with some small allowance to be given yet at least for a short period of time?
Why would COs be living in former missionary homes?? Aren't they suppose to be living week to week at homes in congregations they visit?
I suspect these former missionaries, if they can get back "home" for next summer's conventions, maybe many to most will stay, hopefully their families will be able to help them out.
what a mess

New Watchtower video on "real friends"
by cedars inhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5schopnecog.
it's difficult to imagine how this video could be more disingenuous and hypocritical.

Strange, they didn't mention that true friends "shun" their friends. (JW kind of love, in hope that the shunned one will eventually change and correct their life.) Ugh.

Wow,,so wonderful for him to be able to live his talents of song/music. I am sure he is enjoying his freedom. Terrible how the WTS would 'suffocate' that natural spirit right out of JWs. Happy for him.
Thanks Barbara!

Marilyn Zweifel of the 800-why-1914 Helpline passed away yesterday
by coffee_black inmarilyn manned the helpline for many years, and touched the lives of so many effected by the wt.
she will be missed.. coffee .

Marilyn was one of the modern-day proactive pioneers of the so-called "apostasy." She helped by phone so many JWs to process and encourage many depressed with their JW life and experience. Before Internet it was a more lonely road.
There have been many, that left the WT in the '80s' and '90s' that have passed away now. Now with so many Internet sites, people can link up with so many, process coming out of the JW "cult" more quickly and with more knowledge and strength. It is very satisfying to see the development of ex-JWs and to see 'immediate' exposure to every 'move' of the frantic, desperate WTS. The WT cracks are widening and more people are sensing their 'stink.'
