Most of them are scared to. If it might bring reproche on the name, they always run to the elders first, and they in turn reinforce that fear, and warm them of what happens if they tell or even talk about it to anyone!

i remember many years ago we would talk about those who leave the org.
something bad will happen to them.
because god was mad at them for turning away from the wt.
No matter what I did or how hard I worked for the borg, I never felt worthy of making it past this life anyway. This worthless feeling is so deeply ingrained in my heart and mind, I don't think I can ever shake it off!

i can't imagine for one second that the wbt$ supply the apathy trollies they'll make the r&f pay for them.
or does the wbt$ supply the apathy trolley and charge over the odds for them?.
so...........do jws construct them?.
They can be orderd in pairs, for about $45 each US. Publishers can ask the elders if they can order on! Then there is a site where updated signage can be ordered!
This was in a BOE letter.

i am new to the site.
i started perusing it this weekend and wish i had found it 10 years ago when i was on my way out.
anyways, long story short, was df'd for you guessed it...fornication or "loose conduct" even though i had been a pioneer with an elder father, grandfather and uncle and no previous issues.
Hey Eyefall, I never lived in Bama land, but did live in all three states around Bama, and have friends scattered around there, most being in the north west part if the state. I am still in, but just until i can figure out what to do, to get totally out!

there was a boe recently (in last few weeks) about everyone in congregation contributing so much towards repairing kingdom hall's in emergencies, vandalism or disasters etc.
does anyone have a copy - i couldn't find it on here.. i want to do a video on this because they say they don't solicit funds but it was announced from the platform????
they might not be passing a collection plate around, but they're just doing it in a different way.. .

ask a witness what seems like a simple bible question: "nine verses in the bible tell us that jesus is going to judge the living and the dead.
(john 5:28,29, acts 10:42, acts 17:31, romans 14:9, 2 cor.
5:10, 2 tim.
If they have payed attention and studied wt info, the dead are brought back to life, and judged on the way they behave from that point forward! I have had that understanding all my life!
Dwain
tell them this:.

eden.
And one day you wake up, and find your in you 50's, with NOTHING to even start to think about retiring with! And in bad enough shape that, you have no clue what to DO!

a poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min.
break between the talk and the wt study on sundays.
the break was supposed to be to allow jw's time to drive their bible studys home from the talk.
My dad always parked at the end of the street, so he could go smoke during the break.
Anyone remember when the written review, was taken up and graded? The first congregation i remember, they toom them up and passed them out on opposite sides if the hall for grading. We also had a blackboard, with publishers names on it, with the garde posted, along with our weekly fs report, and monthly Avg, listed for all to see!
