Just watching a show here in Oz called Talkin' Bout your Generation
http://ten.com.au/talkin-bout-your-generation.htm
It pits 3 different teams from 3 different generations, Gen B, Gen X & Gen Y. It tests their general knowledge of events/people/facts across the 3 different generations. Hosted by a very witty Shaun Micallef...
I was watching this a few weeks ago with wifey (though she said marriage is over as I have left the truth - save that for another thread). I asked her would it be possible to say that those 3 different generations could be called the same generation by saying that they overlap each other? As expected she replied it couldnt. I then spoke briefly about the new generation understanding from wtb$, she reacted the same as my brother with the most incredible reply "we shouldnt worry about changes in understanding, leave that to the fds" Then she like my brother had to admit they could neither understand or grasp the new meaning or previous changes.
It reminded me of a wt article a few years ago which warned us against researching the "deeper things of the Bible, to leave that to the fds". The dumbing down process started then as they knew the need for blind trust from the rank n file.
Anyway, the TV show is a great way to expose the ridiculousness of the new generation understanding that Brooklyn put out.
Cheers, Mattieu

Abuse of Authority and Tax Exemptions in the WT Organization
by OnTheWayOut ini will relay this as hearsay as i was not personally involved, but perhaps some of you can personally attest to such abuses for the apologists out there.. even this "hearsay" was verified by another person who was involved to some extent.. this spanish former elder told a two-fold story about abuse of authority and abuse of the tax exemption that wts has.. tax exemption- his story was about how, in the building of an assembly hall in illinois, the people in charge of various portions of the project bought materials and automobiles with the tax exemption number given to them.
among their materials and automobiles were materials and automobiles for their home and personal use.
he then went on to describe the situation a double kingdom hall with six spanish congregations found itself in.

Mattieu
This joke may not be the best, but it was told one night to me by one of the Beatles on the way to dinner:
"Why dont Italians like Jehovahs Witnesses? - Italians dont like any witnesess......"
There were 3 others with us that night, 2 of whom were Italian and one of them knew I was a JW! I laughed loudest......

Feel like I am going to explode
by mamalove intoo much reading this weekend i think..... my blood is boiling between the two books.
the mental part is disturbing me greatly about the truths in brainwashing and cultism, and coc is infuriating me about the whole attitude of the jw org.. i cannot stop thinking of my family who i have not talked to in 6 months.
not a single word....i keep thinking of how and when it would be right and the best way to talk to them.
