  the "financial" new system of things!.

  yes, in the new system it will be "business as usual" with the watchtower society's financial arrangement.

  all those beautiful homes are to be built to make paradise complete.. .

  2. relationships

  i've thought about keeping this to myself but i'm still confused on what i should do.. my ex wife(never been a jw) and myself(raised in the org till 16)have been reconnecting these past few weeks.

  we been divorced for almost 10 years, we got married when we where pretty young, and it didnt last long.. fast forward 10 years, her and i have been reconnecting and things are getting semi serious.. she got remarried, divorced again, and recently broke up with her gf.

  so in the past 10 years she has only been with 3 people (including myself) and here comes me "a sucker with no self esteem".

  Cost of Attending the International Conventions

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have never been invited/requested/applied to any international convention, other than it happening to be our own convention in new york city where we were already assigned (i think back and maybe this happened two times or so when i was growing up).. anyway, people here keep commenting about the cost to attend; the inflated airfares, rooms, transportation, etc.. does anyone have some actual numbers to provide?

  i realize that the cost of attending a convention in a different country will be affected by some variations in airfare from the departure city but generally how much do these things cost?

  are they comparable to a tour from an expedia, travelocity or other travel site?.

  the jehovah's witnesses church has appealed the $30 million punitive damages award handed down by a jury to a thompson falls woman who claimed church officials covered up prior abuses by a congregation member who molested her for years.. .

  the thompson falls congregation of jehovah's witnesses, along with the church's highest offices — called the watchtower bible and tract society of new york and the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses — filed its appeal brief last week with the state supreme court, noting the punitive damages award was one of the largest by a montana jury in the state's history.

  the church asks the high court to overturn sanders county district judge james manley's pretrial ruling that the church was negligent went it failed to report earlier abuses by maximo reyes against a girl in the congregation.

  What was the last thing you said to your jw family?

  by caves in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  7 years ago i had my last conversation with the toxic jw that mostly raised me.

  every conversation was toxic for my entire adult life with her.

  the last time we spoke was right before the memorial 7 years ago and she was laying on the usual heavy guilt and fear mongering about how jeho counts his people at the memorial.
