Hi All,
If they just had in the Christian life workbook a few months ago, that's it's ok to pray for others, why would they help others. A while back I told 2 of the friends that I prayed for my friends ....they said oh no, we can't pray for others that are not witnesses or a study....Wow, .....any way fast forward...one Wednesday at our midweek meeting one of the questions was does God want us to pray for others...don't you know they sited one of the scriptures that say you should pray for others....It was a personal win for me....& I know those 2 friends just had to suck it up....
They won't help anyone unless they are told or seen...that just goes to show you the basic mindset of a JW. If you are told to be nice and help others ....basically you are just not a nice person or wasn't taught from home. JW's are narrow minded...or pretend to be narrow minded, I say that because some of them know a lot of un JW things but won't let on because you know they ain't who they say they are.
Every WT is about the fruitage of the spirit...love, forgiveness, patience, humility, etc...why, because they are recruiting folks who came from a background where non of these ways were ever taught nor shown in their homes. Even those that are born in they have a lack of love...when they show it...it's a put on or should I say a show...it's really sad to see...I came from a nice home...caring...nice parents...crazy parents and relatives just like most families...but not too dysfunctional that I don't know how to exist in this world...When I go to the hall, all the sisters want to hug me...or talk to me....I'm a warm person...& they pick it up....when I hug them I can feel the need in them to be loved and accepted....I'm sad at times...
Anyway, back to the subject....witnesses will not do anything unless it can be counted or seen. Most witnesses have a need for attention, it's just one of the common genes they share among one another....I would say they were attention hogs....Have you seen the same folks get up and go to the bathroom at the meetings the same time at every meeting...really? Why do you think they do that...TO BE SEEN...Why do some come late to the meetings....no matter what time they move the Sunday meetings to, we can move from early to a midday meeting, yet they are late all the time...and the same ones...why? TO BE SEEN....when a sister wants to take off her coat or sweater, why do the other sisters from across the room come to help her take it off practically removing her arm out of the socket, why? TO BE SEEN...I got a good one...when it snows...and it's on the day of the meeting...why do they wait to clean the sidewalks just before the meeting...couldn't they have gotten up earlier and come and remove the snow and put down the salt....we know many of them prefer to pioneer than work...But nooooo....they wait until just before the meeting to remove the snow and now they all join in running on top of one another, looking so important...see I'm a good servant I'm removing the snow...again, why? TO BE SEEN...
I don't think a person could be a witness if they couldn't be validated all the time...that's why we read on this site how so many find it hard to move on...who wouldn't when you are commended on everything you do...it would be difficult to be outside the org. and to help people but not be noticed to do something and no one even knows except you....for some humans, they need constant praise...If that's how you survive in the org, no you can't make it out here with the rest of us....Many of us are doing things to help others...in small and big ways, we don't need no banner raised...
Charities, churches, organizations have all gone to different places when catastrophes happen....The JW's will talk about these places, like they don't do any good....I have been to the hall when they say they help the brothers and sisters during bad times...& in a low voice (you can barely catch it) they help others too...
I would like to know if they really do help others that are not JW's....
