  yesterday my wife and i enjoyed one of our regular days out at edinburgh - movie, lunch, walk, meal etc.. in the late afternoon while mrs cofty went shopping i had an hour at the excellent museum of scotland and arranged to meet up outside the national gallery on princes street.

  on my way back i saw the jw trolley was at the usual spot on the royal mile.

  there was an older man and a young woman standing well back trying hard to look inconspicuous.

  hi people,.

  i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).

  1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.

  JW related collective nouns

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. humour

  english is a great language, especially when it comes to collective nouns.

  a "murder" of crows is just fantastic as is a "mob" of meerkats.

  a "colony" of ants, a "pride" of lions.

  Circuit visit elders meeting

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  first some context to this post.

  historically the elders meeting with the circuit overseer has had the following format : outline for meeting including ministerial servants then, after they have been dismissed, discussion of local issues.

  the last visit there was an additional outline for the elders only, the notorious "gender blurring" discussion.. you might wonder what is being discussed this time round, so here you are:.

  Onlyest thing I remember from CO visit elders-meetings was Dan Skinner going to lengths to ensure that the cheques had Watchtower spelled correctly- capital W- not two words- no hyphen- do not hold up the cash!

  l guess we all have our own reasons and thought it would give insight to others considering going to reconsider and not go.

  I sleep easy knowing that my presence will be doubly covered by two guys who have zero interest in the stupid cult their silly old mother is nuts about. Yearly attenders - they will never again show up on the count after the old lady passes.

  There must be hundreds of thousands just like them - coerced, guilted and badgered into burning good gas just to have their heads counted by nitwits.

  Don't Accept the Blame for Being Shunned

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  our family and friends blame us for the fact that they shun us.

  imagine an abusive husband who threatened his wife that if she leaves him he will hunt her down and kill her.

  eventually she finds the courage to leave and he carries out his threat.

  We created their problem that triggered the shunning -by refusing to believe or teach their falsehoods.

  We deny their solution by never returning to believing and teaching what we know to be false.

  The Watchtower Corporation gets to legally keep all the money and property assets, even if it does fail or reduce in numbers

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i think its vitally important to realized that the wts now has as of this year probably close to 2 billion in overall assets worldwide that it can live off for a very long time.

  i get this gut feeling that the wts heads are positioning themselves and the organization in tentative survival mode for the long run.. so many cut backs, the selling off of many branches, the down sizing of much of its operations, are all tell tale hints that even the heads of this organization are preparing for the eventful devolving of this organization.

  the wts gb leaders say that jah's chariot is moving along at a faster pace but in reflection of how this organization been conducting itself as of late, that wouldn't necessarily be the real truth of the matter.

  Luxembourg and Switzerland is where the WT elite in Europe will go to hide their share of skimmed donations.

  Hong Kong and Singapore provide Asian brothers the latest in secret financial services.

  And for our American cult leaders and their fave lawyers - the Cayman Islands will set you up with a phoney bank, a phoney company and a phoney charity. These are tiny private companies with any number of directors who spend the money world-wide using credit cards connected only to the host country.
