  Words for the Day; please share

  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

  840 hours per year X $15.00 per hour = $12,600's per one year.

  That means in 10 years you would have made yourself $126,000.00

  Nice nest egg, down payment for a house or in some places will pay for a whole house or apartment.

  Normal people look out for themselves and their family and loved ones first. Only dysfunctional people need other people's approval with a "Look at me. I'm special. I am a pioneer..."

  Then when it comes time for their old age and retirement they don't have any money and wonder why... Well look what you could have made if you worked like everyone you are preaching to, that politely tell you to go away...

  The Big A is not coming. You have been lied to!

  Alerts etc

  2. suggestions

  i wonder if it's possible for those of us who've been out decades to have alerts or alternatively see a grouping of threads in a folder or something similar if something actually happens of interest in the borg.. i'm not really interested in the day to day stuff about this cult but i would like to know if anything drastically changes as my siblings and their kids are still trapped.

  i don't know anything about creating the code for forums so i don't know what is possible but if you don't ask you don't get.

  this is not a criticism it's just time for me to move on and just drop in occasionally..

  Simon, Would it be possible to have posted somewhere, all the latest WT new word terminology and what it is replacing?

  It has always been in my mind that WT is constanting changing up their latest 'cult' words, so that they can trip up supposed apostates. If anyone says "Who is your presiding overseer?" Those are really old words now. Or asks, who is your district overseer? They might not know that there are no longer any district overseers.

  I don't know how you would set it up but I think it would be helpful to everyone. And, for any Bethel spies reading on your forum, that will really blow holes in their little boat, that all of us are up to date in their latest JW..org words, and they can't catch us that way any longer.

  Want to read a surprising comment/complaint posted on my website about JW's encouraged not to have kids. Who would have thought!

  here's the short article found in the "did you know?

  " series found on watchtower documents, and, underneath it, is the unusual comment:.

  There was a brother. He died in his 80's. In his home. Alone. Found a few days later.

  In his youth, at a district convention, he was one of those youngsters that was admonished to come up front by the stage and get his personal copy of the brand new release of "Children" published by WT.

  He and his father and uncle were rich farmers. They donated the land so a KHall could be built in their town. For decades they were the pillars in their area. In the ministry, giving talks, taking each their own car out in their vast territory to pick up older JW's so they could make the meetings or field service, in all types of weather.

  By the time this fine old gentleman by anyones standards died, he was all alone except for his worldly brothers daughter and her family. The Society closed down the local Hall and started a new one quite a distance away. His eye sight was poor and so he stayed home and forgotten. All the old-timers, who had been preaching Millions Now Living Will Never die, had all ready died. He was the only witness left in town.

  That Childrens book had totally wrecked that man's life. That publishing house, WT, caused so much intentional harm. Don't fall into temptation and get married. If you were burning with desire, and past the age of the bloom of youth, if you do get married, do not have children. That is selfish. You must put the Kingdon first...

  He was kind to my family and I am sure wanted to get married, as he looked at my chest when he could steal a glance, but he said when he got that book, he promised god that he would do His will. So he never had a family. Never got married. Died alone and forgotten.

  When I had found out a number of months later that our old dear friend had died. I called his niece. Her husband answered. He had had a stroke. They were getting an auction ready to auction off all his personal property and the vast lands he owned. I hadn't the heart to ask if WT was a beneficiary. I hope not.

  Site Updates

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  just a heads-up that i will be testing some updates this evening.. the nature of the changes means it's difficult to test every scenario in advance offline (translation: it's a lot more effort and i just can't be bothered) so i'm going to go with the "wing-it" approach:.

  deploy, check for errors, try to fix errors before anyone else notices them.. i can switch between the new and old version pretty quickly so if there are significant issues, i'll rollback and revert the changes while i work on the fixes.

  worse case is the pages won't display quite right (dates might be a giveaway) but a full page refresh should fix things.. http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/.

  It looks like LoisLane is of the invisible class. Can others see me?

  Village Idiot is ahead of me... and his picture avatar is not there either.

  Blondie... Have you ever heard the words... Wow! You really over reacted to that! That is not what I said or meant!

  You are 60 years old. You were abused by your father a life time ago. You were betrayed by your mother.... You lived with a predator. That is extremely stressful. It sounds like you are still suffering from extreme PTSD. I am sorry. I suffer that way too. Many people do.

  But, this was not about you! Or what you did or what you felt BE should have done. Because of your back ground, you blew his OP out of the water. Did you realize that? Do you realize that you still need to be in active therapy to deal with what happened to you and with your anger issues?

  Do you need to be the "tall poppy" here? In my 5 years here, you find a way to bring up your sexual abuse to us. We have heard it... And you allow it to continue coloring many things you write on.

  Yes, you have been on this Board for 16 years. I woke up and came on 5 years ago. You want to talk child abuse with me??? You want to talk about sex abuse with me??? Do you feel the need to subject us to what happened to you over and over again? I am on closed FB groups for that. You can private message me and I can introduce you to some if that would help you.

  I took BE at face value. What he wanted to share with us. You blew him out of the water to tell us your agenda.

  BE did not post to get accolades. Did you? BE did not post to get anyone's sympathy. Did you? Are you still so needy for sympathy and attention you have to tear someone else down to achieve that? That would make you seem pathetic. I would rather think of you as Blondie, the one strong minded enough to do the Watchtower review with us and add your insightful comments.

  Hugs of sympathy and concern for you from your past. But, if you are still in active Therapy, you might need to see someone else.

  BibleExaminer... Life is different for each of us. Thank you for sharing how your day went. Otherwise, we would never know. I do hope you are feeling better now.

  This is directed to any of you out there that are in difficult circumstances and must go/feel the need to go... and blend in.

  We do not know your individual circumstances. You know TTATT. So then, it must be very hard for you to hear the constant brainwashing, the inapt way they treat children and the abuse whether it be sexual, educational, physical that goes on... and keep your comments neutral to minimal. I think of you as spies for us. Not everyone has the mental strength to be one. You are in the actual front ranks of the WT delusional army that sees everyone but themselves as the enemy. When in actuality, they are their own worst enemy.

  I wish you well in your game plan.

  Thank you for checking in. I actually hope you go out with this dick head again. Then rip him another one! Oh... and please tell us how it went...

  Hugs

  A dick is a dick is a dick...

  Comes in all colors...

  What a moron to treat his own son like that and leave him hanging at a strangers door. I don't think this guy even knows what common sense is.

  Makes me wonder what happens behind closed doors.

  This 'brother' is not normal. Is your congo desperate for Elders?

  Hope you are feeling better and yes, what choice words did you say to him and his reaction was... Oh, oh. I got found out? Or,,,

  How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.

  as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?

  surely education should come first.

  JW..org ways are weird. Saying something is special, doesn't make it so. What they believe to be special, spiritual food from God's mouth to the Governing Body's... changes pretty rapidly...

  I am sorry that your beloved husband now thinks that you must be in subjection to him. No partnership allowed. No coming together of minds or plans. I am sorry that he thinks that you have to go with this him. WT is all about 'looks". It is a power game for men. Control over women and anyone else that permits it.

  Just asking. Has he also told you where you are spending your summer vacation... at a JW..org convention site or has he not got around to telling you about his summer plans yet?
