Should a JW accept Veteran payments?

by Tantalon in

hello people,.

i was born in but long time faded.

i think i hold current jws to a higher standard than they now maintain.. here's the thing; my father is very old, in his nineties and been a jdub for over 60 years and even made it to elder till he got too old.on a recent visit my siblings and dad were saying how wonderful that veterans affairs were.

Correction: I read "Would a JW" rather than "Should a JW'

"...You will be Disfellowshipped for 7 years"

by HereIgo in

shortly before i left the "troof" a co had given a talk during his visit.

at the time there was a scandal going on in the congregation where 2 couples basically swapped spouses with each other.

it was quite the scandal.

Hard to say, he has a lot of sway, it takes elders who will not be bullied to stand up to him, on the other hand 7 years is a lot of time, aren't they rotated every 3 years?

As an Ex JW now, how would you react if you met your Bible study conductor?

by EverApostate in

i was a jw for 11 years , came to know ttatt and wrote my disassociation letter 5 years ago.

since then i had been an atheist and trying all i can to spread awareness for “still in” members.

my wife and mom are still jws and i do get along with them perfectly.

No one studied with me, I was alone, the religion was just there (I was born in) It was the "understanding" that they were RIGHT and that the whole world was WRONG!! and BAD!! This attitude had a pretty strong effect on me, but no, no one, I remember they had me study with another kid when I was 6, maybe he'!l write in lol,
