Yes many here have found the curtain scene "revealing". Have you ever read Animal Farm by George Orwell? The WT follows the same pattern as the pigs. George knew what he was writing about!

I've heard a few talks about how Babylon the Great has Fallen from years ago.
But apparently, she's gotten up again and ran off in her high heels.

Carts on both ends of the farmersmarket
by Still Totally ADD inmy wife and me have a booth at the local framers market.
there is usually about 12 t0 14 vendors each week on a small short street in town.
what is funny on each end of this short street are cart setups with 3 people on each cart.

Probably you have to get permission/pay for the spot. But what a kick it would be to have a pseudo cart with various headlines and websites.
After a moment of shocked silence, I bet they pack up quickly, making sure their coffee doesn't spill of course, and then off they run. Maybe one brave soul might mutter something as they go by. The added benefit will be those at the market being informed of what is happening with JW world and avoid it.

You will not find this sort of support in the New System: JC Elder
by Diogenesister inso that statement was made by an elder to a disfellowshipped brother, during a reinstatement meeting.. this statement is made here at around 4.
10 mins in.. the full story of this man is incredibly sad.
in fact i've rarely listened to an exjws story that has affected me quite so much.

The translation is, YOU went to outside help instead of us and instead of Jehovah. You won't be able to rely on worldly help in the new order. We are angry and self righteous since we know that any true help would have come from god and not from a person who studied and applied kindness and understanding towards you. How dare you call into question our beatings and rejection of you - because really, that's how much we love you.
I'm sure it's the elders own ideas but probably thought out by most of those in power.

I hate how they have used art and music to crush dreams. The child who was denied advancing his skills as a violinist because it would "rob" him of studying about god and put him in with "worldly" children. The use of a skilled artist making glass - even if he went to a master in glass to learn, it's no different from being in a college class.
It looks like the speaker enjoyed breaking that stupid glass they purposely made wrong.
One of the last talks I heard at the sunday meeting, was about how people were like Korah when they disregarded the GB's warning about college. "The Society has published so many articles about not going to college and yet, a person will point out one paragraph that says 'it's up to your conscience'" The speaker was fuming and yet couldn't see that he was basically saying that there was no choice at all, you must obey the GB.

Ding - At least in Abrahams day he didn't. Probably an early incarnation of a GB wrote those musings about what Abraham more than likely believed in.
It's easy to figure out if you think like a GB.

The other cost is - loss of time with family members. If you have construction skills, you will be "invited" to have the "privilege" of working in far off locations away from family. Donating your vacation time to work for them.
