  Question to those who have recently left the WT

  by Brymichmom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it unusual for jw's to take in a newly baptized person and support that person if they have no money/income of their own?.

  i have been out of the wt for 30 years now, but i know a lot of things just don't change all that much.

  the daughter of some people i recently met came to me for help last year.

  i got an email from her daughter lisa this morning regarding "queenie", who used to post on this forum as well as others, such as my yahoo groups.

  many of you long timers on this forum probably remember queenie.

  she had multiple health problems and took a turn for the worse last month after a fall and died yesterday.

  Do JW's ever go into churches for "new recruits"?

  by Brymichmom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i run another discussion board on yahoo for former jw's.

  anyway, one of my members there said she was listening to hank hannegraff (bible answer man) with ron rhodes and the discussion was about jw's going into churches for "new recruits".. he said the process goes as follows....the jw's don't tell anyone they are jw, they wait until the invitation, then when people go forward, they go as well and befriend new christians and invite them to a bible study.

  he said it was referred to as "sheep stealing".

  a friend of mine is married to a jw.

  not by choice, but her husband became jw just a couple years ago.

  however, he has been quite mean to her since he became jw and bullies her around.

  Question about the JW Hurricane Katrina "Relief"

  by Brymichmom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it was relayed to me by a friend that in order for jw's to get "help" from other jw's, that they needed to fill out a form (to make sure that they were jw's) and answer questions concerning how active they are and meeting attendance.

  if the meeting attendance was low or if they were "inactive", then they weren't going to be taken in or helped.

  in the situation that was relayed to me, a jw woman with a couple of teenaged girls was asking for help.
