  Adding insult to injury when the WT kicks out a congregation from their hall

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not only does the organization confiscate the hall the congregation owns.

  but then the former congregants are told to continue to pay for utilities and they are still responsible for upkeep and maintenance.

  so they still have to cut the grass etc.

  That moment when you realize the WT is actually a real estate development and sales company...

  Do any of you remember the KHs getting a boost in attendance for a few weeks? I do.
  Such urgency.
  
  I guess I wasn't sad at the time, because I was expecting like JWs today, that most would die at Armageddon anyway...
  
  So sick and ashamed to have been a dub...
  

  Do you remember the new field service presentations and words to the JW inactive you came up with?

  ishii saya ,born-in exjw, drew dub’s life as a manga and published it.that manga is drawing attention to the eyes of general public in japan.. https://gendai.ismedia.jp/articles/-/54012?page=2.

  translatedit was when i was around ten years old that i noticed the other kids did not receive the jw style physical abuse like i did.some people use belts, power cords.

  my mother had two types of belts and let me choose between “narrow belt” and “wide belt”.

  The more I read of experiences and hear first hand the abuse that exists in this cult, the more I hope something can be done.
  
  There's no reason for any of this.
  Why can't we just live life and be happy?

  The Japanese content above was very real.
  What a sad story.

  IBSA/JW`s transformation from witnesses of Jesus to witnesses of Jehovah

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when c.t.russell first printed his magazine it was called "zions watchtower and herald of christs presence" was it not ?.

  so obviously he was concerned about witnessing about jesus and announcing his kingdom to all who would listen and read his magazine.it was jesus and his kingdom that he was witnessing about ,and of course those who followed him ,would have done and did the same.. their are over 20 scriptures in the christian greek scriptures telling christians to witness for and about jesus.

  and that was in harmony with what the new testament ( the christian greek scriptures ) is all about ,witnessing to,for,and about jesus christ.. their is not one scripture in the new testament ,the christian greek scriptures that says or even indicates that christians .

  the phrase, 'Jehovah God', always made me cringe.

  Should have noticed it then and turned away. After hearing so many people use the same complaint against us to our face:
  "Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christian", was actually the truth all along...

  Just asked JW wife to quit

  by rathernotsay in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i wont get into why i asked my jw wife to leave... theres another thread for that lol... but more out of pure curiosity i asked her just now... "in order to save this marriage would you leave the jws?

  ", it was a snap call no, like not even a second to pause and think about it, which kinda took me back a bit, followed by a angry "why would you ask me that now?

  " (shes going out witnessing with my kids and her friends).

  My 21 year marriage ended because she chose JWs over our marriage after I became an apostate.
  
  We both agreed the only way for us to save the marriage was for her to quit or for me to return.
  Neither of those are going to happen...

  Nothing in life is stable as a Jehovah's Witness...

  2. experiences

  at least in hindsight it would appear so.

  i remember as a small kid not making friends because ultimately they were going to die.

  i never saved anything because money would be useless in the new world.

  It was a false sense of security.
  
  Disappointing is the understatement of the overlapping century...

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after all those prayers and letters that didn't do squat.

  and it was trump that helped the russian brothers.

  then what would the jdub's say?

  I'd rather see Putin tell Trump what the ORG really is and move him to investigate the dubs in the USA.
