I'm getting a wave of sadness over me now that I'm realizing David Bowie is really gone. Thinking about my teenage years growing up listening to him among many other artists I listened to growing up . It's only fitting to put up this last CD of the song Lazarus from his final album just released called Black Star in which he seems to be letting fans know he is on his way out of this world. Very touching you tube kind of creepy- but very touching also. It really touched me deeply . My eyes are getting moist .

What a tragic loss and a great singer and songwriter. Just a wonderfully talented man who adopted many different styles of music. Many people don't know that he had Stevie Ray Vaughan playing lead guitar on his songs " China Girl " and " Let's Dance " in 1983. It really added a cool dimension to those songs indeed. Here's China Girl :

It amazes me...
by punkofnice in..to think about how the congregations actually function....even down to the individual level.. the biggest bully on the boe (or his wife), controls the show.. ones within the congregation are treated like they're dirt and still they return.
stockholm syndrome?.
i've heard ones say that 'jehovah(tm) will sort it all out.

PUNK- I'm right there with you my friend. I agree with every word in your opening post. I as well was an eyewitness firsthand of this bullying that goes on inside congregations as my own dad was a City Overseer for years. I can't tell you how many rank & file JW's were intimidated by this man. Just his overly serious demeanor or way he carried himself authoritatively intimidated people. I was never intimidated by him whatsoever - he looked at me as his " rebel " son- one reason I still don't get along with him to this day even though he's 90 years old. He doesn't like me because I'm NOT intimidated by him ! LOL. I expose the shit he pulls on people through the years and he can't stand that I'm honest to a fault. But I saw lots of other elders and D.O.'s and C.O.'s this way also.
I agree with you - I truly believe many JW's suffer the " Stockholm Syndrome " as they are unwilling to call to account their WT Society slave drivers for the crimes they commit against children with child abuse lawsuits out the ying yang going on. Rank & file JW's just make excuses, " Jah will handle it " . Yeah right. Jah must not have much power then because thousands of JW kids are getting raped each year- it still continues. And JW's basically keep making excuses for it. Thus rank & file JW's become complicit IN those crimes because they stay stuck in the Stockholm Syndrome aiding and abetting WT leaders who DO allow the crimes ! It's a criminal organization run by criminals protecting criminals. Take care Punky Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Well, well - the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. My JW family has warehoused my older JW mom in order to save money - even misrepresented financial holdings in order to get her into a Medi-Cal facility - not a paid facility . I totally believe this is happening back at Bethel. We have to acknowledge that WT leaders- these are NOT " good guys " - we are dealing with sociopathic men with criminal minds who don't give a flying fuck what happens to anybody but themselves. Many leaders of large corporates ARE this way as well. I hope these WT leaders end up getting sliced by their own financial moves in trying to hide what they do. A bunch of criminals dwelling inside a criminal organization -

Using your car in service and still the GB asking for money
by life is to short ini listen to dave ramsey while i work.
he is that financial guy who hates debt.
i agree with 90 percent of what he says.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT- Indeed I totally understand what you're saying. I used my vehicle a lot out in service the several years I pioneered and most other times also. And to add to that I drove about 30,000 to 40,000 miles a year in my business as well- still drive that much in my business.
In regards to what Dave Ramsey said it seems that he in the media and many other Americans are conditioned through commercials and propaganda that if a person doesn't get a new car every few years - that we " just aren't living the life " . LOL. Yeah- a life of credit and $400.00 a month payments for 6 years is what we are " missing out " on ! LOL. I don't mind " missing out " on debt and car payments personally. I still own a 2003 Toyota truck that I put 400,000 miles on the first engine- then instead of buying a new $ 25,000 to $30,000 vehicle I invested $ 9,500 the last couple years putting a new engine and transmission into the truck - so I still have no car payments since I paid it off in 2009. Makes life much easier not staring down a $ 400.00 per month car payment .
You are right- the GB are greedy grabbers who don't really care how much " sacrifice " they put on JW's. They will drive them into the ground literally financially and every other way with their demands, rules and regulations. I'm scared to even ponder on how much my elder dad gave to this cult financially in his 90 years ( 65 years in the cult ) . I guess time will tell. Interesting thread thanks for posting. Take care my friend, Peace out, Mr. Flipper
