so that was a "shocker".
i was not able to attend the meeting.
i had a more important one with my other apostate friends in the area.
Thought it was obvious. It's always been this way that some people prefer to come to the meetings only on special days.....Saename

SUBMARINE JW`s..
Only Pop Up For Special WBT$/JW Meetings..
ok, slight exaggeration: specifically, an official recording of the july 25th, 2016 midweek meeting in german sign language downloaded from stream.jw.org, (log-in required), includes a brother with a beard giving one of the talks:.
.

i was not able to attend the meeting.
i had a more important one with my other apostate friends in the area.
The CO said "wow... that is quite a bit above the average 118 that you normally have... that means there is quite a bit of people here today that would normally not come to the meeting... Shame, shame, shame (wife said he was poking forth with this finger at the audience while he said that.)"
first i ignored all of the elders phone calls to send my recommendation letter to my new congregation, truth is i had already started my fade and moved across town and didn't have a new congregation.
i deleted all jw friends on facebook.
i also threw away all of my public talks recorded on cd, all literature, even my book bag and my bible.
What steps did you take to free yourself from the cult? mentally or physically?
I Walked Away and Never Looked Back..

while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.
because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".
i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.
the God of the Bible is not a murderer.....Fisherman
no, these are not new lyrics.
they are the original lyrics as to be found in the 1950 songbook: "songs to jehovah's praise".
the song is simply called "dedication".. the words may have been altered in recent years, but the "new" words are simply the old words being re-hashed.. we can't make a meal of this as some are doing.. just saying, that's all..
Take My Silver and My Gold..
Or Your Dead...
GRANDMA`s HOUSE!..

Don`t Forget Children`s..
ICE CREAM MONEY!
..
the message would appear to be that jehovah needs money more than that old lady needs food:.
.
Taking ice cream money from the kiddies and granny's last dime.
What's next? Gold fillings?.....Wayward

this is the one thing that i have struggled with since leaving the organization.
i recognize the need and value of belonging somewhere, being a part of something, showing up weekly to a community where me and my husband and children are loved and utilized and incorporated and cared for.
a place where are my kids qualities are nurtured and encouraged , and then reigned in and developed when needed.
I miss that feeling of "brotherhood"
Watchtower controls the Loyalty of JW`s..
WatchTower can order JW`s to turn on any other JW,at any time..
There Is No Loyalty..
There is No Brotherhood,in the WatchTower "Jehovah`s Witness Cult"....
