  I am not sure talking about racks in front of Caleb is appropriate conversation. Satan likes racks.

  It must be of concern to the GB with all the information that is been leaked now

  i was just watching cedars prank call to tomo3.

  by the way lloyd very well done and totally funny.

  but on a more serious note (and i think what must be of concern to the gb) are the amount of leaks that must be occurring at a senior level or at least by a person who has access to sensitive information.

  That internet thing is a two-edged sword. It is great, until it isn't any more. The two most recent embarrassments including the happy bethel video and the complete (in all it's boredom) KH special meeting.

  Then you have everyone making fun of the singing cart.

  They are afraid of success. If you are successful it means you are not working hard enough in the "truth."

  I went to college while serving as an elder. The key to my success was not broadcasting what I was doing. You will be surprised how little people care, as long as you don't tell no one will ask.

  There is no reason why you couldn't manufacture 90 hours a month while going to college.

  i started going door to door at age 5 and was giving no.

  2 talks by age 7. during the 8 years i was an active adult jw i was never a ms or elder (although i was a regular pioneer once).

  so, i never qualified to give an hour talk.

  You would never be able to give a public talk at the KH using PowerPoint.  But the good thing about giving public talks is that you get to count your time.  You should post your PP on YouTube. I would love to see them.

  A thousand years is yet a day - or something like that.  God is an underachiever. He will get to it, just not today...

  Exposing one's identity. When?

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.

  ( "reaching out", so to speak ).

  i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.

  The concern of "coming out" relates to how you name will show up on a random internet search.  I have no problem identifying myself as an ex JW. I just don't do so in a way that it will show up in an internet search.

  Excuses to miss the meeting that won't raise suspicion of a fade

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the first step to fading is to begin missing the meetings.. "if" anyone misses you, a quality excuse must be at the ready.

  this will produce empathy toward you as opposed to suspicion.. 1. car problems ( don't mention that you caused them ).

  2. stuck on the phone resolving insurance, billing, etc issues.. 3. sick ( of the meetings ).

  Good excuses, and if you throw in the phrase "I suffer from depression"  you are home free.

  Be sure to say that "I suffer from depression" as opposed to saying "I am depressed."

  In the first example you are defining a medical condition.  By simply saying "I am depressed" the elders will encourage you to do more field service. You may end up a pioneer, which is not the plan.

  Regarding Dates---Have The Witnesses Ever Been Correct On Any Of Them?

  by minimus in

  i can't think of any chronology that has not been changed.

  even their "absolute" dates are suspect.

  VI, good post. Of course they weren't correct on guessing WW1. The connection of the war to the date only occurred much later.  What we have related to the date and the organization is - good marketing.  They were masters of the spin.
