I remember when our cong. incorporated. At the time the story was that a group of apostates had taken over a congregation and made off with the WT?s Kingdom Hall. Seems the local brother's believe their hall, built with their contributions, belongs to them, but the WT considers the hall THEIRS. The society had the corporations set up to make sure no other hall?s were ripped off by evil apostates. At least that was the story we were told. In our area only congs. that owned halls were asked to incorporate, a JW attorney made up the papers and everyone signed on the dotted line. I recall phoning the out-of-town lawyer to ask how the signatures could be witnessed long-distance and he replied- ? We?re all brothers here - sign the paper?.

$5000 ? where was this case heard? in small claims court? and then giving the victim costs ? I think this says plenty about the judge?s opinion of the WT and Vicki?s case against them. This judge needs to be educated about WT abuse.

His words reporting an elder’s take "if the outcome is negative this could be very serious". He seems to think other municipalities might follow Blainville's lead. Asked me to pray for a favourable outcome. Thought I would pass this on so all you people could pray also.

Corollary to Minimus Meeting Poll: How Many of You ENJOYED Them?
by Room 215 inas i think back over nearly a half century of going to meetings that i can count on one hand the number of meetings that i could label as inspirational or in the least bit exhilirating.
i think many if not most jws regard meeting attendance as a duty, or test of their perseverance, a sort of installment pre-payment on their idyllic post-armageddeon homesite,.
was there ever a point in your life that you enjoywed and looked forward to going to the meetings?

If you asked anyone what the meeting was about most didn't have a clue. Why? Borrrring. One time the C.O. told the brothers flat out their talks were boring. Why? They were all based on the same old W.T. rehash. I remember one brother who came to give public talks who was a teacher. His talks were super-interesting. One time he brought a few worldly books onto the platform and read a few lines from them. He got into big trouble for not keeping to his W.T. edited outline and not long after was taken off as an elder.
I always noticed that most people parked their bodies at the hall and allowed their thoughts to wander. So promoted thinking... sure... promoted thinking about other things.

Need Help Badly!
by mackey ini have a very dear friend who is a jw and i am trying to find a way to open her eyes and make her aware of the bulls**t they spew as "truth".
i can sense a hint of doubt in her, but cannot openly talk with her about it.
i gave her a copy of cofc, but she didn't read it and now she doesn't trust me.i need to find a way to open her eyes or at least get her thinking without actually mentioning her beliefs.she made a couple of comments that have stuck with me.

Hey Mackey
This is a lot like the lottery. You got to be real patient. And there's a good chance you won't be a winner (even if you do manage to help her out).
There are a lot of great people out there, don't waste too much time standing around and buying tickets. Set a date for cutting you loses.
All the best, Wheels

Another Frustrating Phone Conversation
by teenyuck inmy mother just phoned.
she just wanted to say "hi"....supposedly.
her--how is your husband?

I sure can relate. When we first faded, my mom kept asking about my wife. Some conversations she'd ask how she was doing 3 or 4 times. She believed she had the fading problem all figured out. She is totally disinterested in anything that doesn't have a theocratic ring. If we do get into any subject she always manages to mention that things are sure getting worse in Satan's old system. If I do mention some personal point, I'm told to watch out what could happen. So my phone calls pretty much mirror yours. We do get to talk about the weather though.
Donations and charity – ha! That’s supporting Satan's old system and everybody knows none of the money ever gets to the persons who really need it anyway. The WT taught JW's to be old stingys, maybe they're regretting it since they brought in the donation arrangement.

I was heading off to work early Sat. morning 2 weeks ago. As I walked up the deserted streets I noticed a young man sauntering along ahead of me. It popped into my brain that this guy looked like a JW – greatcoat, earflaps on his hat and bookbag. As I began to overtake him, he gave a practiced swing sideways, with a tract in his hand, and said "How're you doing today?". I wondered who this nut-case could be, out in service at 7.20 in the morning, on the day of a snowstorm, on a deserted street, so I asked around. Apparently he's the new addition to my old congregation. A special pioneer that's been parachuted-in by the WT. .....puttin’ in his time.

Hi LP
Here is my list of things you should do:
1. Find yourself another Bob.
2. As a last service to this Bob give him the URL of this forum and tell him it's just brought up too many questions about the WT teachings and administration. Then if he's interested let him sort his life out by himself.
3. Then move on and live your life without any JW influence.
JMHO Have a great Life - Wheels
