he was an old presiding overseer of one congo since the early 1960's.. he died in the saddle with his boots on.. he was watchtower overseer and cobe.. he died at 90.. he was beloved by many.. if this new change of getting rid of cobe's happened 10 years ago, when this "honored" one was just 80, i have no idea how he and his family would have taken it.. it certainly would have shaken them and theircongo up.. -----> getting rid of co's at 70.. -----> getting rid of all district overseers.. -----> wt has already let go thousands of bethel workers.. -----> selling off properties and pocketing their profits for themselves.. ----->monthly "donations" from each khall wt/gb owns already.. what a man made up religion.. what a snare and a racket!.

I knew one that died not too long ago.

He was an old Presiding Overseer of one congo since the early 1960's.

He died in the saddle with his boots on.

He was Watchtower Overseer and COBE.

He died at 90.

He was beloved by many.

If this new change of getting rid of COBE's happened 10 years ago, when this "honored" one was just 80, I have no idea how he and his family would have taken it.

It certainly would have shaken them and their congo up.

-----> Getting rid of CO's at 70.

-----> Getting rid of all District Overseers.

-----> WT has already let go thousands of Bethel workers.

-----> Selling off properties and pocketing their profits for themselves.

----->Monthly "donations" from each KHall WT/GB owns already.

What a man made up religion.

What a snare and a racket!

Hello and Welcome to JWN.

We are very happy to have you among us.

We like bright people that are not afraid to question WT/GB authority.

PS The poster Leolaia has not been available for a while. She has several serious degrees and a boyfriend, which all take time.

Try and leave her a PM in case she does come around and reads her messages.

yesterday i sat listening to a conversation between two sisters in their early 70s.

they were half talking to me.. one of them has hurt her hand and has it bandaged up.

anyway it started with one of them saying to me.

LoisLane looking for Superman

Not bitter. I hear you. I wish you had said those words and posted their reaction, but you are no doubt polite, and that would not have been polite to mention, how you had been lied to and led astray.

(((Hugs))) I hear you. I remember being 5 years old, and being told Armageddon is right around the corner. Mostly all the adults that said that are now dead.

Take care.

How many educated adults are being converted into the Jehovah's Witnesses nowadays?

by EdenOne in

the other day i was sitting in one of those meetings where the public talk was absolutely mind-dumbing.

by minute 5 i couldn't take it anymore paying further attention to what was being said, so my mind wandered.

i looked around to my own kh and started to notice something.

LoisLane looking for Superman

In the past 10 years, I have really only seen mostly JW children get baptized. A few much older people, who otherwise would have stayed at home, with no one to talk with.

We had one native who studied and got baptized. She could see the hypocracy in her native religion, but so far hasn't noticed? it yet in JW's.

I am embarrassed when I see what is sitting warming the seats at the KHall's and CA and DC. For the most part they are all basically good, honest sheep being led and controlled by WT/GB.

They are birds caught and put in a large cage and do not realize the door is open for them to leave... But the women don't want to lose their friends and social network and the men, I don't know, they don't want to lose their Boy's Club status? so they all for the most part stay. This so saddens me .

I have not seen one educated person fresh from the d2d work become a JW ever.

Worry Over Possible "Spying Elders"

by abbasgreta in

jw
friends

this seems to be a real worry for 'faders' on a number of threads.

the responses to ducati's first posting.

is a good example.

LoisLane looking for Superman

I worried about it in the beginning, but I would rather be out with 7 billion "normal" people, then "in" with 7 million WT/GB controlled drones.

But, I still am fading for personal reasons, otherwise I would strip off the bandage and state my real name.

I am EMBARRASSED I was ever a JW. I do not tell anyone in my new life I was one. Oh, so maybe when the time comes, I won't be stating my real name here.
