It was very hard to leave OZ and enter the into the unknown. It felt floundering for quite a while, but I knew it was the ethical thing to do. Contentment and happiness is worth the journey.

Does this mean that the C.O. has access to the abuser database and check the name before appointment?
Or does he just pick any brown-noser that he chooses?

Hey....where's my invitiation ???
by exwhyzee ini was in my company truck again today, pulled over to the side of the road in a neighborhood, doing some measuring and looking for some survey markers.. a group of jw's were working their way down the street toward me.
the 2 middle aged ladies were smartly dressed, one had brightly colored highly styled auburn hair and was wearing large noticeable jewlry.
the brother was late 50's hispanic also smartly dressed in a black top coat and seemed like he might be elder material.

Great story! It's always amusing to get a little laugh in. But they didn't get it, did they? Humor and field service do not usually go hand in hand. Thanks for posting.

I know that in years past they had an official designated travel agency (usually ran by jdubs) but heard they discontinued using professional services. Who is arranging yhe ground tours etc and getting paid? Is the WT now in the tour business?

GB approves entertainment auditioning for international delegates.
by suavojr ini don't know if this was mentioned but i spoke with a jw from atlanta, georgia that informed me that the great gb has approved jw auditions.. yes, you read that right!
now the jw's will have their own jw idol, jw voice, and dancing with jw stars, lol.. they are using an assembly hall in atlanta and jw's from all over are auditioning from 8am till 6pm.. supposedly the idea is to have live entertainment for the delegates traveling from overseas for the international conventions.. he said they have had jw's who can play all the hits from the beatles, play merengue, salsa, sing, dance, etc.. the gb is trying hard to make their cult look normal.. some of the questions this rises are,.
will it work?

Another stream of income? Well if they found good talent and the gb got them under contract.....another side business...just sayin......With the way things are getting more bizarre every day nothing would shock me.

Past couple years of being awake might be catching up with me
by noonehome ini was a little too honest with a super close friend who is one of the most important people in my life.
my mistake.
she talked to an elder about my doubts...i know she had my best interests in mind and i hold nothing against her.

Hello noonehome, It's good that you posted here for support. You have gotten some good advise here. Magnum was totally right about your friend. You may need additional support through a school counceller or a therapist. Someone that you can have face to face interaction with. It's tough to go it at such a young age, but you can use that to your advantage. Make changes and live your life as you want. You get only one chance, use the gifts God gave you and enjoy your life to the full. It seems like many of us, lack self confidence. Take one step at a time. Finish schooling. Get a job. Keep in control and move ahead. When you loose control, panic can set it. BREATHE. Make plans, become enpowered by sticking to those plans.
There was a book that helped me: Feel the Fear . . . and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers. It also comes in an autobook.
Hugs, 4thgen
