He had worked for them for some time, and when he stopped pioneering, they dropped him!
  This is totally against the law, both on state, and federal levels!

  i was just wondering who else on here cleans for a living.

  we all know the dubs' penchant for cleaning, so i was wondering if my wife and i were the lone cleaners on here.

  we've cleaned together for 15+ years now.

  If it was truly from god, and not just a room of guys setting around a table, trying to dream up the answer, it would never need clarification, at all! It would be right the first time!

  Hot New Ford GT, and the GB!!

  ok, i was reading a story about fords new ford gt, one hot extreme muscle car.

  the story tells about how a car like this normally takes 6 or more years from, first scratches on paper to finished project.

  their small handful of specialist, pulled it off in 2. and right until it was finished, no one out side of the small circle of people (about 25 people ) really knew anything, except something special was in the works!.

  The imagined need, was about the gb, and their hype bs. Back when they were telling about how jw tv came to be. They were talking it up like it was so badly needed, and that gid had provided, by chance, just what they had to have, so it could be done extra fast!

  Suicide Prevention Counseling

  by MrCellophane in

  1. watchtower

  in the 1980's when i was an elder, i don't remember the society providing any guidance to elders on suicide prevention counseling.

  i realize much has changed since then.

  can any current/recent elders update me on what the current position of the local elders would be if approached by someone in the congregation contemplating suicide and seeking help?.

  Back when I tried to do it. None of the so called elders really even want to listen to my concerns, all they want was for me to go pick up the long since x-monster, that drove me to that point and bring her home! At the time I was still so suicidal, I hardly ever slept at home. Some close friends gave me their door key, and many nights I slept on the couch in their living room! It's been nearly twenty years since then, and I can't tell you how often, the suicidal thought's wash over me, driving home in the pouring rain today, the thought of just running off the road and hitting a bridge, just kept popping into my mind. Sadly I truly wish, I had made it back when I tried! I feel so useless, and am just so tried of everything!

  I am still stuck pretending to be a good little pee-on, I would NEVER EVER talk to a so called elder, about how I feel inside, or anything else for that matter!!!!

And right until it was finished, no one out side of the small circle of people (About 25 people ) really knew anything, except something special was in the works!

  Even the project to get new work area all set up for the team to use, should have taken months. The workers had to remove all the old tools and stored junk from 55+ of use. Strip everything from this basement, rewire it, add all new lighting, set up work areas, bring in tools, set up computer's, drafting boards, etc. This was all done in one month!
  

  That made a loud POP inside my head! I can just hear the GB going into detail about all the insurmountable obstacles in the way. And how as if by magic, this happened, or the special thing they needed, just happened to turn up the day they needed it. And on and on they would go!

  Ford people dug in and made this happen! Without trying to make it sound like a magical hand was moving things along, because of some imagined need!

  I had a chance to go, years ago, but just had no need to go.

  My brother & sister in law, are going because they will be working at warwick. My sister in law is so excited, she's probably already wet her pants a few times. At a CA last year one of the gooberning body was there, watching her, it was like a giddy school girl, gushing over the hot boy of the week!

  It's funny watching these people get so stupid over these men!

  this may sound insane but i literally have blood on my hands as i have just come home from a counselling session that went wrong...i wanted to collate all that has happened and record it...hospital policy is against it.

  i said "what am i alive for then if not to tell the truth" she tut tutted and i walked out sadly in despair.. when i got to the ground floor there was a young girl screaming her head off.

  she was afraid, that is all she was...........afraid.

  WoW! I am a wreck just from reading your posting! I am so glad that you cared, and took the time to follow someone with the look in their eyes, and not be afraid to step in and help! I hope that poor girl can get the loving help she needs!

  I hope your ok!

  A Judicial experience.

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was an elder in the 80s, a 16 year old baptized jw girl had confessed that at school during lunch a boy kissed her and touched her privates over her dress.

  the circuit overseer was in town and we told him of the situation and he called the society and then told us that mother said we were not allowed to conduct the funeral in the kingdom hall or anywhere else with the threat of removing us and being dealt with judicially if we disobeyed.

  the mother who is about 79 years old comes once a year to talk to my mom about the situation.

  Has the Great Witness Trolley/Cart campaign produced ANY results?

  by freddo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i live between two cities that are big enough to have their own metropolitan trolley cart arrangements organised at circuit level.

  the 3 congregations at the hall i attend have trolley schedule noticeboards.

  i see trolleys in the high streets and markets locally.

  When it comes to the carts, the standing around speach less, maybe the normal, way to do, in Brooklyn, but there are Large parts of the USA, that people aren't put off by strangers making eye contact, and or even talking to them, as long as they don't try to hold them, if their in a hurry, even then a friendly hello would go a long way, to get people that pass by, to even stop and talk sometime!

  But according to gb think, Brooklyn is the norm for everywhere!

  But I will never them! Hahaha
