my local cong just donated all money (4k +) on deposit with you know who to, you know who.
"since the society forgave all kingdom hall loans the boe felt it only appropriate to forgive the society of our loan to them.
" is exactly how it was presented to the r&f.
WingCommander ....love the passion in your responses!
Believing wt to be "the truth" for a few decades, all this deception & graft has left me gobsmacked! Utterly astounded! Not so much because wt turned-out to be so evil ........but that they do it right under the noses of their followers..........and still they don't see it. Gb must be laughing their heads off. Really, there is nothing that gb will say now that will register on their bullshit alert alarm!

i was discussing this topic with two friends of mine, ex jws, a few nights ago.
i think it would be boring after a while.
you can't smoke, have to drink with moderation (difficult in europe with all the wines).

Maybe if there really were a GOD who actively cared ......... or maybe not!
One thing for sure... if wt would rule the world, count me out!

Don't think WT will df her now ....that would make her right about them!

some background:josie the miniature schnauzer is now 12 years old, so she's old enough to know the difference between right and wrong.
however, she insists on peeing in the middle of my beautifully tended lawn, which, as a consequence, is now covered in brown patches.
i've remonstrated with her a number of times and each time she purports to show a diplay of repentance, that is, she slinks away on her belly with her ears flattened down tightly to her head.
Snuggle .......yes yes you should. It makes about the same sense as WT shunning people hahah, ....funny.
obviously this weeks' wt has been part 3 of big changes in the doctrine.
at the end i answered up saying along the lines of: "as we can see from the illustration box, when it comes to the reward being given to the slaves, divine appointment was not given in 1919. this will happen in future when the anointed get taken before armageddon".
i couldn't bring myself to say "raptured at armageddon" as i think people might have taken a closer look at me...but it felt good to call out publicly the bull sh#t date of 1919 .
Good for you ...nice going! ;-)
the parody video is being released before the "official" release on sunday!.
video being re-edited...stand by.. edit: here is the re-cut with wingcommander's excellent input.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5h1cj527s4.
I thought it had been, like, slightly slowed down or pitch-altered to make him sound weird or slightly retarted, or something.
Vidiot................ he is weird & very retarded!
oh man, i know i'm gonna catch flack for this.. everyone sees masonic conspiracies everywhere.. i am not a conspiracy theorist.
i don't honestly believe the governing body are freemasons.. yet, probably due to cruising this site and seeing all the masonic conspiracy threads, i saw this when looking for a shot of lett's pinky ring to show how he wore one in october, but then took it off in may to ask for money.. .
original is on the left, and on the right, i played with the brightness/contrast to get it to show up a little better.. what does the pattern on his ring look like to you?.
i just wanted to introduce myself and say a big hello to all of my mentally diseased friends.. i say friends because i have been lurking for some time so it feels like home (us lurkers are a bit scared and cautious so it takes a while).
i won't bore you with too many details, but i am a born in, currently serving as the cobe of a congregation.
my wife and i have pioneered for the last 10 years and were shaken awake by that ridiculous 15th july 2013 wt about the generation and 1914.. my wife who is much smarter than me has questioned for years.
Wonderful that we have come to our senses again. After slaving in wt for 50yrs, shedding all that "new personality" stuff and uncovering the beautiful person that I used to be ......has been amazing!
A big welcome to you & your wife .......... you are standing at the EXIT. Whether you hang around at that door a bit or go racing right through it, is up to you. Take care of each other as you go.
If there are times that you fear watchtower propaganda may be right (Armageddon, only true religion etc) research it until you are satisfied.
Wishing you every success.

Cognitivedizzy ...first of all a big welcome to you & we hope soon...your wife! Really wonderful to hear of the love you have for each other. This relationship is your pivotal point. Absolutely move out from that perspective. Do whatever is good to take care of this. Do not let anyone rush you. Make smart deliberate steps. Keep it simple & don't apologize to anyone.
Wish you great success. Smell the roses & feel the fresh air of freedom!

found these gems in this edition:.
- keep in expectation!- prepare now for life in the new worldthe passing of time should not cause us to lose hope thatkingdom blessings will be realized.
there are solid reasonsto keep our scriptural expectations alive.
I sure would like a dime for every time I heard this since 1960!
"To gain God’s favor, what must we do?
19 As worshippers of Jehovah, we need to imitate Noah and his family and obedient first-century Christians. We must keep separate from the wicked system of things around us and seek upbuilding associates among the millions of our faithful brothers and sisters. Sticking with those who are guided by God-given wisdom will help us to “stand firm in the faith” during these very difficult times. (1 Cor. 16:13; Prov. 13:20) And just think of our wonderful prospects! If we watch our associations in these last days, we may personally live right through the end of this evil system and into Jehovah’s righteous new world now so near at hand "
