  Hecce, what congo did you attend? I have to admit that I have experienced nearly all of the things mentioned by dpFreedom and XstuckX in our 98% Hispanic hall (maybe not the dung graffiti, though). One time we purchased cleaning supplies out of our own pockets only to have them stolen soon after-never again I said. Also, at our newly built Assembly Hall the "friends" destroyed several theater-style seats and several areas of carpeting had to be replaced because of juice/grease stains. And these people are going to help cleanse the Earth?

  some friends familiar with wt gossip have told me that the decision to move out of ny was in part accelerated by the tragic events of 9/11.. my take on this is that decision to relocate was made a long time before, however they counter that a move was planned but not the total detachment that is occurring.. i wonder if anyone here has an opinion or information on this.. thanks.

  Hecce, great thread. I've only heard the WT side of the story regarding their actions after 9/11.

  Rebel8, WT Overseers are like that- cold and aloof to human feeling.

  I've heard most of these or variations of these talks before, with the exception of Bro. Gaseous.

  We had one around the time they stopped the food service at Conventions telling the friends not to sell Mexican breakfast tacos to the delegates because we should not take advantage of our brotherhood!

  Hey Hece, I like your login name, I just got it! I was in Spanish congos and can confirm what you are saying. I can attest to that, I saw it during the Rosenberg Assembly Hall construction, etc. , etc.

  The rich and the WT

  by Crazyguy in

  2. beliefs

  i was told by a friend that the wt sends out brothers to wine and dine rich jw's and then asks them to donate large amounts of money and land etc.

  this person knows first hand as he said because he has a wealthy friend that this was done to.

  anyone else have this experience or heard about this?

  Have seen where a rich sister donated a chunk of land gratis for an new Assembly Hall and has basically been given a "free pass" as it were despite her divorcing her husband. And she came across like she owned the KH when she fancied to make an appearance.

  Marriage only possible as an M.S. as a JW???

  by ADJUSTMENTS in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it seemed to me for a male jw to begin the steps of dating and eventually getting married you at least had to be an m.s.

  to get anywhere with a sister at least a decent sister.

  i'm wondering if others felt this way?

  Probably true to some degree in your area. I've heard of and know of a decent looking elder's daughter who was practically saying her "I Do's" as her boyfriend was coming up from his baptism!

  For the most part, the sisters are the ones that have a hard time marrying "only in the Lord", based on my observation.
