Tsumani Relief: Witnesses Organized Against It
by Grace init is clear that watchtower directives do not show compassion or aid to those in need, with the exception if those in need are fellow witnesses.
for the tsumani on dec. 26, the rank and file were told if they wished to donate to help those in need, they must give to the worldwide work designation at the kh, then the brothers would use their discretion as how to disseminate the funds.
in a telephone conversation, it was clear that "no kingdom halls were destroyed" by the tsumani, therefore, it was not urgent in the watchtower's minds.. check this site for yourself:.

The GB as JW celebrities
by Rubyvixen ini am really,really curious as to how other people back while in the org viewed the gb.
because my oldest brother (older than me by 14 years!
) was first at the watchtower farms and then brooklyn bethel and my uncle is a member of the gb, my mother tended to flaunt these facts and look for every opportunity to go to either place with her bible studies (these terms are so weird to use after all these years lol).

What to do??
by RichieRich inthink about this for a moment.. jws believe that their relentless work now will be rewarded with paradise later.. however, in an effort to get into paradise, many jws do nothing but work, and serve god.
i know my mother does.. so i wonder, what does she think she's going to do in paradise?
what is there that she likes, that will occupy her eternally??.

http://quotes.watchtower.ca/admin-site-map.htm#beliefs.
this site uses wt original quotes directly from the publications, so it's worth taking both a first and second look.

witnoid weddings
by katiekitten inwhen i was a kid weddings in the troof were a big deal.
probably because they were the main if not only excuse for a knees up.
if someone was getting married they were not in control of the decisions about the reception.

Elder Condemned Me to Death
by Grace ini have been thinking about this because of another post where the question asks have any of us ever been blackmailed to stay in the watchtower organization.. no, i won't say i was blackmailed; however, after i wrote my note of disassociation, the congregation overseer wanted to visit me in my home with two other elders.
i repeatedly said no, that i would not allow them to chastise me in my own home.
therefore, all of my conversations were over the phone with the overseer.
