Ways "THEY" Controlled You
by minimus in"they" refers to the watchtower society, the elders, the brothers and sisters, etc.
when you look at how much control has been exerted over us over the years, you can't help but be amazed.
for example, if we had a major snowstorm in the area and the entire state was told by the governor to "please not go out", unless the call was made by the elders, the meeting was still on and you were expected to attend.

Did you want to be a MS?
by JH indo you think that if a brother didn't become a ministerial servant in a reasonable amount of time, that he was considered weak?
did you want to be a ms or did you prefer not to have any responsibilities in the congregation?

Counseled by a Hypocrite?
by WildTurkey inhave you ever been counseled by a hypocrite?
an elder for playing a video game where you zapped bugs from outer space once counseled me.
he said it was not for christians, cause it was too violent, his favorite movie that he would not stop talking about star wars.

who loved???? the written review
by nightwarrior inactually i was one of the sad ones that use to love to try and remember what i had learnt, but after some time the written review became tedious and oh so boring....... but i recvd a phone call today from my mam who informed me that the written review was being changed to an oral review .... oh the excitement.... you know, to save on the costs, plus that 'we' are progressing????
(my mam's words)... oh dear, i am so glad i am away form the lot of 'em.. did you ever notice how the hall attendance would diminish drastically when the w.r. was taking place????
maybe after all these years, someone, somewhere has taken the hint....... oh well i can be counted out anyway...... i hope that your replies are amusing?!.

Probably been asked but...
by AnotherEscapee inhi everyone and a happy new year to you!.
i'm sure this has been asked before but as i'm fairly new i missed all the discussion you had on this one.. we know the wts signed up with the un as a ngo, they say for a library ticket because the un changed their policies.
of course, there is no acceptable reason whatsoever for them being hypocritical and becoming affliated to what they see as the wild beast but what do think their real reason was?

Disassociating inactive ones?
by madison149 ina few days ago someone wrote about a new rule that came out in elders school this summer about inactive ones still being accountable to jehovah's (watchtower) rules.
does this mean that they are going to start disassociating ones who have been inactive for years who are not upholding the rules?
i know of a few people who have not attended meeting in several years who either celebrate holidays or in other ways break the rules and everybody knows it.
