if the group here was a congregation, what role would each person here play?.

Mommy,
"No Thanks" is what we wanted to say but it made them (candy giver)so happy and we didn't want to hurt their feelings.
So thats why it ended up as glue in my daughters dress coat.She just had to sample it first!
Okay we have to come up with a substitute for this privlege.
Any ideas?
Waiting,
I liked your candy story.
I would have liked to see that.

speculation here:.
1.- un finally became tired of the wt seven head beast crap etc.
2.- wt could be of help to the un.
One,
You said.
4.- If you continue against us here is what we will have to do about you...
5.- if you change your mind (now that you oracle is diying or dead), or at leat your actitude we can be forgiving, we may even help you, $$$.
What I'm trying to point out here is that even after WT became members they continued to be against the UN in their literature
they also didn't really Change their attitudeeither.
You don't think the UN would have noticed this in 9 or 10 yrs if they were so aware before making this suposed proposition with them what WT's attitude was towards the UN?
Yes they wrote some pro UN stuff in the Awake but at the same time the continued the negative they always had.The UN would have called them on the carpet on this if it happened the way you propose.
Why would it be so hard to believe that WT saw the benifits of becoming members and just believed the rank and file would never find out?
This isn't the only secret they have kept from us.
It's also not the first time they have gone against their own teachings.
I hope this makes sense.It makes sense in my head but putting it in word form is a challange.

Every congregation has an older bro or sister that gives hard candy to the children.
Who volenteers for that?

You are right a JW wouldn't have said this.
If you read the first paragraph of my response to One you will see where my one track thinking was coming from.

One,
I didn't mean to sound likesuch a smarty pants to you.
I was just thinking how this sounded like a witness trying to come up with any excuse possible to explain away the connection instead of accepting responsibility for it.
I reread your post and understand where your coming from alittle better.
But after reviewing the evidence so far I don't believe this could have been what happened.The evidence shows that WT solicited this membership and have used the privledges of that membership to its fullest.
Just last night my husband showed me photos of WT using UN planes and busses in a mission in africa.
If this was a forced membership they would have been members in name only and not used all these perks.
Also the UN seemed genuinly disturbed when we showed them what WT had been writing about them all these years.
After becoming members the WT continued to write bad stuff about the UN.If what you suggest is true this would have stopped when they became members.

Wrong!
This sounds like something a JW would come up with.

Comf,
I'm so glad you survived this terrible attack!
This is such a coincidence, I was attacked by demons on my front porch too!It was on the evening of Oct 31st.
I don't have photos like you to document my experience.

being pregnant worked really well for me!
lol i milked that puppy for all it was worth!
got to sit in the back room and nap with my feet up!
I always had to be the example!
This was pointed out to me at home with my parents and then when married to a husband with privledges.
I never had an excuse until I had children.
They get sick and momma had to stay home and take care of them while daddy had to go take care pf his responsibilities at the KH.
It's pretty sad for a mother to secretly hope her child gets a little cold or something so she can get a break from all those meetings!
It's embarrasing now to realize how weird my thinking was.

this plea for help goes out to anyone in the st louis mo area.. okay this is the situation, my father and sister are both disfellowshipped and have been sharing an apt.
since my mom and dad have been separated.. my dad was being kind to my sister who was in need after her divorce.. she was the typical jw just, high school education then depending on a man.
dad agreed to let her live rent free till jan when she graduates from dental school.
UPDATE!!!!!
Well the Nightmare continues!!!!
Last Friday my sister was left a note that said she had one week to get out of this couples home.
Come to find out the husband didn’t like the idea from the beginning but gave in to make his wife happy.
This little family was already under a lot of stress and things got worse for them after my sister moved in.
My sister was hardly ever there between work and school but the husband and wife were fighting a lot and the children were sick and money tight. He decided this was one stress he could get rid of.
My sister is in a terrible situation with very unusual circumstances.
I don’t have time to do any thing but state the current facts because the reasons she is stuck in this ridiculous situation would take too much time to explain right now.
She is not in a regular campus college. This is an accelerated course. If you quit you loose all your money and get no credit for what you’ve done so far. She cannot transfer either.
She ‘s not making much money; in fact it takes three checks to pay her truck payment. Even if she dumps the truck there’s no money for other wheels and still not enough to cover living expenses.
After the truck payment there’s one check left for insurance, rent, utilities, food, and all living expenses. As you can see she is not any near being able to support her till she gets her education.
We have been looking all week trying to find help for her.
The shelters are strict and you have to qualify first which takes time. They also lock down at 5pm.That won’t work because class starts at 5pm.
We are paying for her schooling now. We are renting a storage building today to put her things in and driving to St Louis tomorrow (Pevely area) to get her out. This is more than we can afford ourselves.
Some guy she doesn’t know says she can stay at his apt for two weeks. I am afraid for welfare living with strangers and she attempted suicide about 2 yrs ago.
All this stress of not being settled and looking for the next place to place her head is affecting her grades.
This is one giant disaster that she wouldn’t be in if her husband and father hadn’t let her down so badly. She has made mistakes but she is the product of a typical JW upbringing,
Depending on men for survival. Now she’s trying to change this and everything is going wrong.
My mother says it’s what she gets for not coming back to the organization, that she’s lost Jehovah’s spirit.
What loving parents to dish out horseshit instead of helping like any responsible parent would?
For any one who reads this update, Thank you for listening.
Any ideas or help welcome.
