How can a dead chicken atone for your sins?
by Fisherman inthe article says that the dead chickens are given to the poor but i was told that the chickens are thrown into the garbage.
(who could possibly eat a chicken full of sin?).

If only the major news network would do a story on the watchtower
by nowwhat? inwith the shit hitting the fan with all these molestation charges against celebrities and notable people.
the time would be perfect for a u.s. major news network to do a story on the pedophile cover-up of the organization.
since dateline did a story about this 15 year's it would be great for them to do a follow up report on how not only have the watchtower not changed their ways but have become firmly entrenched about their pedo policies!

From what I hear Leah Remini is strongly considering doing a series next season on the A&E network exposing Jehovah's Witnesses like she's exposing Scientology currently these last 2 seasons . I think that would have a great negative impact against the WT Society and awaken lots of minds regarding WT Society corruption. Let's hope it happens ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

USER 99 - I find your theory VERY interesting in what WT Society's long term plan may be. To WT leaders it might make a lot of sense to sell most all of the kingdom halls in time to keep WT organization afloat. Perhaps their end game may be accomplishing that and just having JW's " worship " or " meet " online on the Internet.
Kind of a strange way for them to think they are fulfilling the old scripture to " not forsake the gathering of ourselves together as some have the custom " - but hey - who ever said that the WT Society ever applies scriptures accurately ? lol. They have constantly twisted the Bible around and upside down to fit a square peg into a round hole doctrine wise for almost 139 years now ! That's what cults do to control their members. Sick

Thanks James & JP for posting this you tube. Man, I really feel for Monica. You can just see how the WT organization has beaten down her self esteem where she feels that she has to turn to ' Jesus ' or ' Jehovah ' or a higher power - instead of turning to herself. In my estimation as time goes by this poor lady will gain back her self esteem after informing herself about mind control tactics from organizations like Scientology & the Jehovah's Witnesses. Right now- she's beating herself up , even saying she's not " good enough " to be in a religion.
Makes me sad for her and angry at WT leaders that they indoctrinate the living piss out of JW's to the extent that they don't even know who they are anymore ! I so hope that this dear lady in time can regain her self esteem and self worth that this criminal organization WT Society has robbed from her. Wish I had a way to contact her right now. The sooner this JW organization gets taken down - the better

I am grateful for leaving the watchtower corporation. Innit!
by punkofnice ini dislike long topics......so here it is.. i suffered for my religion, now it's your turn.. when i first left the corporation my life exploded into a suicidal chaos.. my family broke up.
i lost my so called friends.. luckily, i had worldly friends from all walks of life that supported me, even though they had no idea why i was so suicidal.
in as much as they hadn't left cults.. i went from the corporation to a baptist church.

I second your emotion Punky. I'm grateful you left the WT organization too ! I'm grateful I left the WT organization too ! Hell- I'm grateful lots of folks here have left the WT organization ! I'll be even more grateful if the WT organization blows up into a million little pieces blown away into oblivion like dust the wind ! That's how grateful I am ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Side effect of Downsizing......$$$
by Tech49 inso here is a tidbit you will all just love!.
we all are hearing of the trend right now to ¨downsize¨ the congregations...ie... eliminate by combining, in order to blah blah blah... .
here is what you didnt know: every time a congregation is dissolved, for whatever reason, including merging or dispersing, wt makes money!

WT Society leaders are totally using fear, guilt, and mind control tactics to steal rank & file JW's hard earned money from them. Lies and false promises too. By using loaded expressions like - " donate to the worldwide work " or " donate to the kingdom interests " , even the once a year articles that come out every September or October in the WT explaining in DETAIL how JW's can donate through every means possible ( trust funds, life insurance policies, jewelry, cars, inheritances ) I mean for christ's sakes - then WT rips Witnesses off by taking any excess money in kingdom hall accounts for " worldwide work " or " kingdom interests " ? It's a scam of epic proportions !
And WT is even using this scam as I posted on another thread in siphoning off funds from donations for JW hurricane victims - allegedly - by insisting that NO food, NO clothing, or NO money be marked for " hurricane relief " - but that ANY donations HAVE to be marked for " the worldwide work " . That way there's no transparency and WT financial leaders can use these funds anyway they want - i.e. like paying out child abuse lawsuits or victims - or fattening up secret offshore bank accounts for the WT Society. Makes me so angry I'd like to spit. Bernie Madoff didn't have anything on these WT crooks

I knew of another case up in the state of Washington that occurred and a person I know tried to get the police involved and the elders just kept protecting this pedophile that my friend was trying to expose. Ignoring this persons attempt to get justice for abused children. Eventually it came out that the child molester had molested again even after the elders were warned time and time again and eventually the molester was DFed, but not until he had done immeasurable damage within a certain congregation. My friends warnings had been ignored for years. It is absolutely criminal how the WT Society and circuit overseers and elders do everything in their power to PUT children at risk within congregations. Somehow, someway - I wish the FBI would get involved with prosecuting this damned cult the WT Society and pursue it's leaders with the same vigor that they pursued Warren Jeffs in that Mormon cult he had going years ago. I'm so tired of hearing about JW children being molested with no real justice being done. It's time for WT Society to pay for their crimes

...and so the shunning begins
by Phoebe ini am now officially 'inactive' so am no longer chased by an elder a for a report.
the congregation i belonged to never had much time for me anyway, i said once i could drop down dead in the k.hall and no one would notice.
so i never expected anyone to be particularly bothered that i wasn't there and they aren't.

PHOEBE- I'm so sorry that you are experiencing this. Me too. Count you and me among others here who have lost lots of folks we once considered " friends " who were Jehovah's Witnesses. Now after not attending meetings myself for 14 years- I look back at them as conditional acquaintance's I once had who liked me because I shared the same skewed belief system they had. It still hurts that they chose to shun me, but in reality I have made much more nicer friends EX-JW's and Non-JW's who accept me and really SEE me for the person that I am- not the person that they WANTED me to be. It's taken years for me to learn the difference and see the difference, but it has helped some of that hurt we feel go away in time, the hurt of rejection. It does take time for sure.
Just want you to know that I care, we all care here and I enjoy your posts and insights here on the board . Please know that we feel you. If you ever want to chat, just PM me and me and my wife will keep in touch, O.K. ? Hang in there sis
