  at our meeting last night there was a talk about having run out of magazines for the last three months.

  it's expected this will continue to happen.

  Publishers will fib on field service hours but not on placements.

  I used to lie about literature placements once I had woken up. Maybe there are lots of closet apostates in that congo,

  Yes the innocence of childhood is wonderful.

  I hope that these kids are given a fabulous education where they learn to think for themselves and consign beliefs in ancient myths to the where they belong - the dustbin.

  Elderly widows targeted, convinced to sign over Power of Attorney and Personal Representative of Estate

  i discovered that my 96-year-old grandaunt had named her jw elder as personal representative of her estate and another jw "best friend" as her power of attorney.

  i learned that they used a financial advisor at wells fargo advisors to help raid my grandaunts bank accounts in the years before her death, and then the wt and jws received most of what was left of her estate.

  i am currently working on a book to expose this horrific practice.

  Russia is one of the most totalitarian countries in the world. I agree K99 this is another sign of unjustifiable intolerance from a despotic regime, but it couldn't happen to a more deserving cult.
