Final post I can't come to this forum anymore!
by hoser ini have come to the conclusion that posting here and visiting this site is not healthy for me anymore.
i just get angry and upset when i read all the stories of injustice and corruption that go on in the jehovahs witness religion.
they are true no doubt, as i have personally experienced many injustices and abuses in my life from being a witness.

Midweek Meetings no longer Necessary
by Tech49 ini am sure we have all seen the recent letter to the boe concerning the change that will take place to the meeting arrangement during the week of the co visit.
to recap the basics: the meeting that usually contains the cong bible study (book study) and a co talk will be discontinued, publishers are encouraged to use their family worship night that week to cover book study material.. so here is a point that i think has been missed, or not even considered:.
if that particular meeting is hereby deleted from the schedule, the co and his wife will never ever have to participate in or go to another "book study", or "bible study" night again.

The C.O. probably needs the extra night to review the elders qualifications, so he can decide who to give the axe to.

I HAVE AN IDEA FOR THE DONATION ARRANGEMENT!!!
by ADJUSTMENTS inif you are on the fade or still hanging in there, when they pass around the anonymous slips of paper at your congregation, how about writing down a high donation amount and not pay a cent of it.
i think nothing over a $1,000 because it may cause a red flag but to each his own.
i'm going to write down $500 and then watch the elders scramble every month to meet the quota... lol this will be fun!!!

Well at least there is a stirring of conscience thought and not just blind acceptance.
They are probably saving the RNWT of Mal 3:10 and the tithing for another letter down the road.

I guess this is the part where they were warning the publishers about that they need to shut up and obey even if it makes no sense.

My Experience and how I finally let myself see the truth
by OneEyedJoe infirst off - for those lurkers who feel guilty just for being on this site and reading this (even if you don't read any further, as it is your right to choose that course) i want you to know that you're not alone in what you're going through or in what you are feeling.
if you read on, i hope my experience may be of some small help to you.. this may be long, but i'll try to organize it in a way that doesn't make it painful to read.
to start, i feel it is most beneficial if i'm upfront and honest with my goals from posting this, which are (in order of the degree to which they motivated me):.

There probably will be a entire section on trolley witnessing and how to get the most sales exposure. etc.etc. There has to be a new organized and reasoning book because of all the changes. Surely the legal department has it's hands in all this to minimize exposure to the corporation. They just keep coming out with all this new stuff to keep the Jdubs heads spinning, so they don't have time to actually think: "It's 100 years! Maybe they were wrong! Maybe we are duped!"
