by JW GoneBad in

the wtbts is not being given special room rates by 2 major hotels at the long beach convention center area for the upcoming 2020 regional conventions & wt is t'd off.

letters are being read in surrounding circuits and congregations.

apparently wt is afraid that other hotels are going to blackball them as well.. has anyone else heard this?

JWGoneBad: WT puts most of the blame on renegade rank & file members who have not been following protocol

Abusers always blame the abused. Always.

It's what they do.

Let's review: It's a cult!

IWantOutNow: It is NOT NOT NOT about the price, and getting a better rate for the "friends"

Of course not.

Cults NEVER do anything for the benefit the followers; it's always for the benefit of the cult leaders. Always.

And make no mistake: It's a cult!

California Fires-Contact from elders

by SouthCentral in

friends

the fires have been hitting many areas of los angeles lately.

recently, i checked my home voicemail and noticed messages from several elders.

they were calling everyone on their “books” to ensure that they were ok.. i assume this is the protocol for a natural disaster.

Diogenesister: It seems to me Satan's good 'ol State cares more for the sheep than watchtower

Not “Satan’s State,” but the good ol’ Ventura County Fire Department.

We are grateful to all the hardworking first responders who fought the beast to protect life and property!

Organized Book Change

by thedepressedsoul in

i made this post yesterday.

i couldn't remember my login info for this account.

My personal opinion is that sometimes they make changes simply to give the illusion of progress and that something is happening because clearly nothing really is in relation to “fulfillment of Bible Prophecy.”

How else could they maintain the fiction that “Jehovah’s chariot is on the move” when the scenery never changes?

Did You Ever Get Hit On By An Elder?

by minimus in

jw

the organization stresses to elders to be careful with members of the opposite sex.

never be alone with a sister whether it be in field service or paying a visit by means of a shepherding call.

do you know of any elders that flirted or were overly “touchy” with females?

jp1692

No, but when I was an elder I got hit on by quite a few sisters even though I was married.

Funny, they never contact me and I live in one of the areas hit by the fires this week and last year.

In fact, I live less than 500 feet from the Mandatory Evacuation Zone of the Easy Fire this week. My wife and I spent the entire day Tuesday in our house waiting to see if we had to evacuate. We didn't, but we were ready with our car loaded with clothes, a "go bag" and other essentials just in case.

FYI: I was a JW for over 25 years in this area and an elder for over 20. It's been six years since I have quit attending meetings, but I still live in the same house I've lived in for over eight years.

They don't give a fuck about us that have left. If they contact us at all, it's only a show for the sake of appearances in front of the other elders.

Let's review: It's a cult!

PIMO Elder with a Dilemma

by xjwsrock in

i haven’t been on here in awhile and this is my second user name because i was busted by my pimi wife on the first one.

i have been basically awake since 2013. i have a super dub wife that i love and don’t want to lose and my sick mom in the hall that is a true believer.

stupid religion has gotten between my wife and i (of course).
