  What Term Can Replace "Publisher" ?

  by OnTheWayOut in

  indulge the possibility that, as profits from printed materials become thinner, watchtower might want to stop having members carry printed materials to the homes of many.

  i know it will probably go through more phases of "cheapening" the materials (softcover books, pamplets instead of brochures, flyers instead of pamphlets) but let's consider the idea that they will one day cease delivering anything printed.. the door-to-door work is huge in controlling members and monitoring loyalty.

  pioneers are their biggest supporters.

  this is nothing new obviously, i'm just using this as a sounding board to see if i'm looking at this thing correctly.

  your thoughts are greatly appreciated.. watchtower july 15, 2011 p 15 paragraph 4 under the title "will you heed jehovah's clear warnings?".

  4 to elders of the ephesus congregation, paul said: from among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things.

  Better to be a wicked apostate than a wicked jehovah's witness.

  Better to die in battle with a god than to live in shame.

  Better to be pissed off than pissed on.

  have been a member of jwr since 2008 and have not been to hall since june 2009, have celebrated 2 yrs without memorial - woohoo - that being said i have stopped by here frequently and decided yesterday to join your group.. it has been very enjoyable to read your stories as well as the other group i have been with, and so it just seemed reasonable to belong to both.. my story is no differant than all the others, the only thing is i was not born in.

  that being said i also have no real issues with being an apostate (although i do believe it is used in the perjorative sense by the wt).. peace - brad.

  last week wednesday at about 11:40 pm, on a cold and rainy night, my uncle breathed his last breath.

  he was at hospice and he was alone.

  alone because the whole family was there the previous night saying their goodbyes.

  after my brother passed away in september of 2010 i started smoking again.

  at first i would hide the fact from my wife's dad by burning a cigar candle and making sure the ashes and butts were not in plain sight.

  but as time went on i just said to eff it.

  I'm glad you all found it amusing and I thank you for the support and concern.

  I KNOW that my father in law's brother will be VERY typical and be even more SHUNFUL than ever. Typical drunk/wife beating kisser of "elderian" asses. I hope he opens his mouth in front of a lot of people. I have been dying to call him out on his hypocrisy and maybe single out his wife and call her, the "Longsuffering Bride of Drunkenstein". He will probably hit me so I told my son to call 911 immediately if he does. I won't swing back that way he can be finally jailed and made to lose his struggle for respect as an elder. He is the guy that I mentioned before threatened to beat up the elder body when they said he could not be an elder. EVEN AFTER he had made them all a shrimp dinner....LOL The whole family lets him get away with everything. Including almost forty years of hitting his wife.

  I look forward to continuing to flaunt my lack of fear of the society....LOL

  After my brother passed away in September of 2010 I started smoking again. At first I would hide the fact from my wife's dad by burning a cigar candle and making sure the ashes and butts were not in plain sight. But as time went on I just said to EFF it. If he don't like it he can lump it. My wife also smokes and when he confronted her on the issue she said that she isn't a child needing to be scolded anymore. LOL

  So in public I worried if I would be seen. Not for my sake but that word would get back to her dad or his elders. Maybe they would nag HIM about it. Then I figured... SO WHAT. Anyways I was waiting in the car outside the grocery store for our youngest son to come out and I was puffing on a Camel 99. When lo and behold here comes my wife's star pioneer step mom. Judgmental CUN* that she is she walks right up to me and I suppose expected me to be ashamed or something. She asked me in a very strong fashion, "What is THIS? What's going on here?" I looked at her and said, "Something that isn't any of your business. And good afternoon to you too, by the way." She got red in the face and was about to explode on me but turned on her heel and stormed into the store. My son came out and said he saw his gramma "Shit Bread" in the store. I asked if she said anything to him and he said he didn't think she even saw him. LOL

  I can't wait for the fallout to start to descend in the form of my wife's family calling and nagging. My late brother could never stand my father in law's wife. His first wife either, btw. The second wife's name is Francisca but in Spanish the diminutive is Panchita. My brother who loved an inside joke began to call her Shit Bread because Pan means bread in Spanish and Chita is slang for Shit in some Spanish speaking places. Thus Shit Bread. My son had overheard my wife and I calling her that and thought it was funny since we never disparage any of the other family like that. When he went to visit my brother a couple of years ago he casually mentioned his Gramma Shitbread. My brother asked if I had told him about the name and my son said that he had heard it. He also said that he decided to, out of respect call her GRAMMA shitbread so as not to seem disrespectful. My brother almost fell over laughing at my son's sarcasm.....

  Feels good to let loose and just live my life without the fear of what some ass hat like my step mother in law might have to say about what I do.

  Thanks for letting me share what's on my mind, folks.

  Prediction: Expect a change in Study Edition distribution

  by baltar447 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after all the hoopla over the "mentally diseased" stuff, i'm making a prediction.

  i expect that the borg will stop distributing the koolaid wt online, at least to where anyone can download it.

  i expect that they will require the jws to create logins and passwords to access the study edition, somehow tying that that back to what congregataion you're in and maybe even an elder approving that you attend.
