JW Friend was Married this Weekend. Tutto è bene che riesce bene.

by objectivetruth in

a close jw friend of mine, got married this weekend.ever since he and i meet (13 years ago) when we were both 18 we've been close and we've experienced different life experiences together.. our qualities, have complemented each other well over the years..he the voice of responsibility and reservedness, & i the voice of spontaneity and passion.i taught him about life and he taught me about perseverance through trial.. i care about justice, he cares about reputation.he is a better person then i will ever be, but so stricken by society.. i always stuck my neck out for him, but our friendship was the thorn in his reputations side.he was on the path to mts, and i was on the path of frivolity.despite all this.. when the 2 of us were together, free from the scrutiny of the outside world he was himself, and he was a great friend.

though naive about much, he always tried to do what he could to be a friend.. i was there when he and his now wife first started dating.. i envisioned him marrying her, and my wife & i spending many enjoyable times with them as a couple.. shortly after they meet my wife & i learned ttatt.. i explained my findings to him as i did with all my friends and family.

he being a person, whom i perceived to have great deal of biblical knowledge, i expected valiant effort coming from him to "help me" see where i had erred.all i got was a email with 3 irrelevant watchtower articles & some even more irrelevant scriptures.. i would have surely been his best man, but instead another mutual jw friend was asked.i am not da'd or df'd but this is the pseudo non-invitation that he sent :.

If he had been man enough to have a straight-forward talk with you, at least you would have some kind of closure. I'm sorry, this is a very hurtful thing for such a close friend - family by choice.

Reject "worldly" fantasies, pursue Kingdom "realities"!!!

by DATA-DOG in

have you had the pleasure of hearing this doozy??

i believe it was presented at the circuit level first, it has filtered it's way down.. the poor eldub opens with this definition of the word fantasize:.

"to conceive fanciful or extravagant notions, ideas, suppositions, ect.

talesin

"with Zero responsibility".

That is the reason that a lot of people are JWS. You never have to decide your own ethics. Zero responsibiity and 100% self-righteous arrogance.

I don't know how some of these people can even look at themselves in the mirror.

Wow, this guy has some cojones!

This:

THE DISMISSAL

16. ...There was an allegation by the defendant that on one occasion the plaintiff failed to make payroll deductions on a cheque to himself. This court finds the evidence on this inconclusive and does not hold it against the plaintiff as the fact is that the defendant admits that in respect of the cheque to Dennis it did tell the defendant to not make source deductions and that in itself is an illegal act.

What a hypocrite. Okay, the court found the evidence "inconclusive", but that just means that the "plaintiff", who was doing the books anyhow, didn't record giving himself an illegal cheque. Yup, fox/henhouse, etc.

and this:

DAMAGES

25. On the matter of dismissal, this court orders the corporate defendant to pay to the plaintiff damages of $1500 which consists of 3 weeks notice at $500 per week. The figure of $500 is a reduced one being used to take into account the plaintiff’s lack of forthrightness with the court concerning his Employment Insurance benefits and his part time business earnings following his dismissal. As well the plaintiff failed to mitigate his damages by only applying for 3 or 4 jobs and not even producing a resume for the court to demonstrate his search for replacement employment.

So, the "Plaintiff" displayed a "lack of forthrightness with the court concering his EI benefits and his part time business earnings following his dismissal".

That is to say, he did not report earnings to EI.

Yeah, real trustworthy. *rolls eyes* What a great witness!

i have mixed feelings about these.. didn't realize that they existed.. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3a%2f%2fwww.canlii.org%2ffr%2fqc%2fqccmnq%2fdoc%2f2012%2f2012canlii84278%2f2012canlii84278.html%3fsearchurlhash%3daaaaaqahamvob3zhaaaaaaab.

Oh, yes, agreed.

I think it's interesting that in very religious (RC) Quebec, they have a charity exemption. In tax-free, very Bible-belt-for-Canada (protestant) Alberta, the license is "Revoked".

Of course, this is not the official government site for registered charities, so nothing is written in stone.

Denied or revoked? Just asking because this site shows that as of 2011, they had tax exempt status (not saying it's correct, just fact-checking) .

And of course, that was 3 years ago. I note the one in Alberta says "revoked" when I looked it up.

Surrey B.C. Congregation of JW's - Elder - Official FUNDRAISER ?

by LogCon in

below are pasted pages from website landoffree.com - canada with information about registered charities.

the one i direct attention to is the tynehead park congregation of jehovah's witnesses.. note several items.. rick worsley - elder - is identified as fundraiser.. has anyone seen this title applied to other jw's.

tynehead park congregation of jehovah's witnesses, surrey b c from british columbia, surrey, surrey has not been rated yet.

talesin

That's an interesting site - I noted that quite a few congregations (at least the local ones I found) listed an elder as a fundraiser. One of them (in one of the poorest cities in Canada) has assets of over half a million dollars and took in revenue of about $150,000 in 2011, with expenditures of about 1/2 that.

and this made me chuckle (couldn't help myself) Charles Woody?

What should the WBT$ do to get on track?

by punkofnice in

it looks as if the gb are blundering around and really showing themselves up for the buffoons they are.

all the stupidity about tight trousers is laughable and if the general public were to see these selfmportant cult leaders blabbing this stuff then the last shred of their credibility would be destroyed.........perhaps.. the wbt$ seem to have dug themselves into a deep pit of no escape with their lies, new light(tm), paedophile protection and all the other nauseating peripherals they have.. we also suspect that the wbt$ have their spies here because they are either predictable or get ideas form forums like this.. so!

are you listening watchtower(r)?

Issue an edict to drink the Kool-Aid, for real. That will weed out all the people who are 'on the fence', and the corporation would be in hot water. Government would finally have to step in.

Those who drink the Kool-Aid can look forward to their reward in a "paradise". *shrugs* Well, they are miserable now, might as well end it.
