  Damn punkofnice great comment. Your line saying 100 years from now we will be dead and all of this won't matter is exactly what I have told other folks through the years. I have found that statement makes many start to think. Conspiracy theory's have always been fun to listen to but after hearing them you soon find out most are if not all nonsense.

  By the way my father was in the air force as a radio man on B 29's during WW 2 bombing Japan. At the end of the war the U.S. showed a sign of force by flying all there B 29 over Japan 500 ft. off the ground to show how hopeless it was for the Japanese to continue the war. This was soon after the two nukes was drop on them. My father plane flew over both those city's and saw the destruction those atom bombs did. He even saw the first atom bomb the U.S. would drop. He said it was smaller than the regular bombs they was dropping. Most thought who saw it that it wouldn't do much damage. Little did anyone know the atomic age was beginning.

  Prophecy question as hysteria sets in

  by Isambard Crater in

  a load of j.w's in my family and the congregation i attend as a pimo have been saying the end is very close because the anglo american world superpower is clearly still the king of the south, and russia is now clearly king of the north due to persecuting and banning the religion there and seizing property.. i've forgot what the religion used to teach and maybe still does, about the timing of all this king of north + south stuff, the attack on all religion by the u.n and then the attack on j.w's who will be left standing.

  i mean, i thought jehovah was going to put it into the u.n's minds to ban or attack all other religions, then the attack on j.w's, but witnesses seem to think the end is so, so close because russia has banned them.. it's sad, as some dubs i know have sold their homes and made other big decisions so they can pioneer in these 'very last of the last days'..

  How about holding hands with your mate during prayer. After all someone who is there for the first time may think the ones holding hands is thinking about sex. How did they know? Lol. Still Totally ADD

  All for crying out loud. Living n FL at the time you could see the Apollo rockets taking off. It was very visible where we lived. My wife even witnessed the last moon launch which was at night in 1972. All I can say is if they didn't go to the moon they sure spent a lot of money to put on a show. Still Totally ADD

  committees

  by dogisgod in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have had some conversations with ex-jw women and i am more than a little concerned at how, if a female, is treated in committee meetings.

  it sure seems (i experienced this when i was young) that the elders have a commonality in trying to create such shame and sexual guilt (especially where none is deserved) that it is beyond abuse.

  i know there are a lot of former elders here.

  Tech49 said it perfectly. As a elder for over 24 years I saw really good and humble men and really bad ones. Unfortunately as time went on I had to deal with the really bad elders. Some being circuit overseer and P.O. It was the older elders that was the worse because they didn't keep up with training to show kindness and concern for those who was hurting spritualy. For most new elders they were told to observe the others elders on how they did things. If you were on a body of good elders you had good examples to follow but if you were on a bad body of elders your good examples was far and between. Yes we had the so called elder book but a person needs more than one book to handle such a important responsible in caring for a congregation.

  In my last few years in the Borg there was serveral committees I was on and I basically had to counsel the other elders on how badly they was treating the accused. I even stop a committee meeting in the middle of it. Asked the accused to leave the room for a few minutes and gave the other two elders stern counsel on how to treat a person who wants help.

  For many elders I saw it was just a power thing with them while the good ones became fewer and fewer. It was one of the many things that help me wake up and leave. In my opinion the congregations are being lead by uneducated men to do the job properly. Still Totally ADD

  My heart goes out to all of you. For us born-ins and those who came in as children was subjected to a living hell. I have nothing else to say to all your experiences. Been there done that feelings. The fact is we all went through some form of religious persecution at school in various degrees. Here's what upsets me the most when we were children we had to go through it but are parent's didn't. If you was like me when telling my story to others in the Borg I was always told it will make you a better person.

  So there you go according to many in the cult abuse makes you a stronger and better person. Sick! Still Totally ADD

  i'm writing this tread for the people out there that are still looking for some kind of answers.

  people who feel the void that any organized thought system can produce.

  people who know there is more to this life than our daily routine which eventually will end, when we no longer exist.

  It was my 5th & 6th grade teacher. I went to a country three room school for my first 6 years with two grades per room. It was one of the last hold out of old country way of life back in the 1960's in central Illinois. My first 4 years was hell because of the physical and verbal abuse I got from my teachers. They hated JW's and I was their special target. When I entered 5th grade a new man teacher started to teach there. He knew how I was treated by those teachers and he took me under his wing and help me catch back up to my grade level.

  He was a very good and kind person. He would make it a point in class when other kids would make fun of me because of my religion by telling them about the freedom we all have to practice what ever we believe. How wrong it is to hurt people who believe differently. He gave us all how to use critical thinking. For the first time in my life I was learning things I would use for the rest of my life. Great guy. Still Totally ADD
