What does the WTBTS have to gain?
by aud8 ini have a question:.
if the wtbts is so into deceiving everyone and trying to reel in as many newcomers as possible, what does it actually have to gain from this?
why are they always trying to switch teachings to make themselves look "believable"?

butt-bruisin' CO puffed-up with CO2
by wheelwithinwheel intwenty years ago our congregation had to live with a real butt-bruising presiding overseer.
he had plenty of counsel for everyone.
when ministerial servants or other elders were on the platform, giving a talk, he would raise his hand and comment, even when the km didnt suggest audience participation.

I'm new here - sort of.....
by individuals wife ini understand you've met my other half - now it's my turn!
i feel as though i've known some of you for ages as we've been regular visitors to the board for a long, long time so it's nice to be able to dive in at long last and make contact!
life is good - the disassociation letters went out last november and things are unbelievably quiet, no phone calls, no visits and best of all - nobody rushing up to me in the street begging me to come back.

"Freeness of Speech" Between Elders
by blondie inwhat does it mean to have "freeness of speech" between elders on the elder body?
can they ask another elder on the body anything about his personal life and/or questions they would never dare to ask one of the rank and file?
can't find much about it in the publications.

Nourishment for the Spirit
by Maximus inmy observation is that persons who 1) heal/adjust the most rapidly from their jw experience and 2) seem to have the most joy in life are those who read, read, read, in pursuit of what i call nourishment for the spirit.
i've really enjoy the pithy aphorisms you use here, which suggests you've distilled some wisdom from somewhere.
i'm going to ask your help in this thread.

C.O. Location ?
by HoChiMin inbeing from the new england area, where this c.o.
liked to kick ass, a few of my elder friends wanted to know whether anyone has heard of whatever happened to a circuit overseer by the name of terry angelacos.
had a reputation of really trying to get elders removed and then he'd gloat about it at the congregation meetings.

Unnecessary Suffering & Military Service
by jschwehm inalan f. demonstrated the deceit of the watchtower organization over the issue of alternate civilian service for military service.
there is no question in my mind that the headquarters got numerous letters over this issue after the change was announced in the 1996 watchtower.
they comment on this in the august 15, 1998 watchtower:.

Should I Do It ??? I Think I Will.
by Big Jim ini have been working on my letter to our local congregation to dis-associate myself.. since my wife is still very active in the non-truth and she also insist that i write this letter, i believe i will take her congregation address and telephone list and send my letter with all the facts about the wbts history of lies and send everyone in the congregation my letter via certified mail.
.
it would probally set me back a few hundred bucks but i think it would be well worth it, what do you think??
