  No Kingdom Halls would definitely work!

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  last night we were invited to a get-together with quite a few heavies attendingelders and regular pioneers.

  there was beer and later some music.

  everyone got relaxed and let down their guard and starting talking all kinds of non-theocratic stuff that you only discuss after a few beers.

  @John Aquila. That group is thinking along the lines I've been thinking.

  I agree with all of the above plus I think old rubber lips himself will want to have a program on TV (or internet, which ever brings in more money) for children. I do not think he was kidding that the WT/GB wants little children to give them their allowance i.e. ice cream money.

  They will get rid of the name Watchtower.

  And I also agree, everything will be a conscience issue between god and yourself. No more issued blood cards.

  Sell off the KHalls.

  Do whatever it takes to make THEM more MONEY. After all, going back to the days when they were selling MIRACLE WHEAT... WATCHTOWER has always been about the MONEY.

  Does the W.T have financial problems are are they just rebranding?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it is evident that the w.t has recently re-branded itself, and has become fairly modern in its marketing techniques.

  so the organisation is in that respect forward thinking, and the former way of doing things has past.. .

  but this rebranding has been done by marketing experts, who maybe realise progress is progress, and that with modernisation many bethelites " even as free volunteers" are possibly no longer required.

  CommitteeChairman: Very insightful words you wrote.

  WT/GB really won't care if their game is up because the less sheeple that come, WT/GB will just turn around and sell the KHall that they, now, conveniently own. They will make more money from selling the KHall versus what those sheeple would happifyingly give from what ever is left in their pocket(s).

  PS After waking up, I was lost for a bit. Going by WT/GB rules, regulations... every day for a life time, it takes time to dilute absolute thinking into normality.

  Thankfully, it can be done. ^^^^^ Truman did get out.

  PSS Really good illustration CommitteeChairman. You get all G's on your card!

  just trying to figure out what i believe in the wake of leaving the borg.

  Getting back to your OP.

  My suggestion: Live your life as you want, what makes you happy. If you die (when you die) if something happens after that, well then, Surprise! but I wouldn't hold my breath. (Pun intended).

  TornN2, My life did not begin until I left WT. I am doing what I want and I wanted to live on a beautiful paradise earth with the animals, kind people and meet my resurrected relatives, from way back.

  So, what I am doing, is, I live in beautiful surroundings of my choice. Every day I am happy and free. Yesterday, Baby Dear, a sweet wild deer born 2 years ago, came by with her son. Last year, she came up to our kitchen window (we call it the take out window) and we fed her pieces of apple on the end of a chop stick through the open window. Yesterday, they both ate apple pieces together. So sweet!

  Slowly but surely I am learning about the history of my relatives. I am rather impressed. I would like to meet them in person, as I was promised by WT/GB but honestly, that is a pipe dream. For JW's, that is the carrot WT holds out for sheeple in exchange for free labor and money from their innocent victims pockets. The GB has the 'gold' and makes the 'rules'. The sheeples are their slaves to their bidding. That is all. Plain and simple.

  There is no Big A. There is no paradise earth. There is no eternal life with eternal perfect health. There is no Santa Claus and no Easter Bunny. Sorry. You were lied to.

  Have you read anything on JWFacts?

  All the very best to you and your family as you find what you really want in this life and go get it.

  Was my dad awake?!

  by EyesOpenHeartBroken in

  i am wondering if my deceased elder father was awake?

  once we found out he was dying, i spent every moment i could with him, we were very close.

  anyway, i offered to read to him a lot when he was resting.

  Hello EyesOpenHeartBroken,

  Welcome to the forum.

  To me it sounds like your Elder Father could have been a member here or at least a lurker. He gave you some wonderful advise. Did he have access to a computer 10 years and more ago? If he did, then, I would say he knew TTATT. (The truth about the 'Truth'). If he was not computer literate then I would say he woke up, figured out the WT/GB were shysters on his own.

  I am happy for him and you that you had some time together.

  Hugs

  @4thgen:

  OR....The Special Day is coming up and I have a sneaking feeling that he will be asked to be on the platform. Does anyone have any experience in these matters? I do not want him to be on the platform, with all it's 'glory' and adoration. I am trying to keep him level headed and I'm afraid this will push him the other way.

  ^^^^^

  Unfortunately, I know of situations where they 'used' JW children from divided families at assembly's to make them feel important and to get back at the DF'd apostate mate. It is WT gang warfare at it's finest. This made the children hate their DF parent all the more. They had 'crowd' approval. clapclapclapclapclap

  -----> There are so many delightful things for 'tweens to do other than sit at the KHall, hearing adult drone cult oppressive do's and don't and doctrines and cult words that change all the time plus hate speech against other religions and gays. Is he in after school sports or music lessons? What does HE want to do? Where do his interests lie, now and for his future? What ever he is interested in, I would have appreciated a tutor and a mentor, to guide me to help me make wise decisions for my future.

  All the best to you both.

  Yes, here on JWN there are a number of people that we meet and when they stop posting, I wonder what happened to them.

  Almost 2 years ago, there was a fellow from California that mentioned he comes from a family line that gets sick around middle age and dies. He was uncertain about seeing his doctor, incase, he to, had the family 'curse'.

  His user name was "Rotten Riley". Has anyone been in touch with him or know how he is?

  Don't preach, sell books.

  i haven't seen this article before but i apologize if this has been discussed.. i decided to download a bunch of jw literature and came across this special bulletin from 1928, a special colporteur edition.

  it was written by the society and sent to the roughly 1400 colporteurs, which is someone pushing religious books and magazines.

  if you want the entire bulletin id be happy to email it.

  mikeypants. I have never seen that article until now. Thank you for posting it.

  In the second column, it says, "This sells many books for us".

  I, along with millions of others, based my life, staked my life, on these con men from Crooklyn.

  Never again.

  grew up in east la in a bad neighborhood to a black mother and white father.

  i never knew my father because he died in a car accident when i was a few weeks old.

  my mother converted as a jw soon after when two sisters came to her door and offered her comfort, which was something she needed.
