  Misquote in the Creation Book

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my dad came into the jw's because someone studied the "creation" book with him.

  it pains me deeply that he sent me an e-mail recently saying that to keep the peace with my mom, he will stop communicating with me as much as possible.

  i should communicate with him only if i have an emergency.. it upsets me to no end, but i cannot do anything or much about it.

  the lawyers acting on behalf of the wtbts/g.b./'mother' during a paedophile case a couple of years ago, have stated on record that - .

  a) "field ministry is not controlled or monitored by the elders, the congregation, or watchtower".

  b) "an individual publisher's field ministry activity, including the time and manner it is carried out, is a personal matter between the publisher and his god.".

  in sorting insurances out updating , i just mentioned to my wife who is 'in' that in the event you have to claim "dont give any of it to anyone else".. there was a pause i didnt like.. comments by others on this site indicated the wts has been beating the drum for $$ i fear what she may have agreed to.. to those who have insurance it is not.. not to go, not a cent to the wts as they have belittled anyone taking out insurance or retirement benefits.. my insurance has been created to keep her and our handicapped offspring not the gb on a building spree..

  2. experiences

  one of my co workers mother made my 4 year old a blanket with the disney character tinkerbell on it.

  as soon as i got it i knew trouble lay ahead.

  i wanted to reason with her before my daughter saw it so as not to cause a disruption, but it didn't work out that way.

  Year before my jw joined the cult he went to the neighbors to borrow a certain movie for the kids (nobody in the house were jw) everybody loved it. The next year kids were watching it again on tv and he went on how he wished they wouldn't watch it blah, blah, blah...... nuts, just nuts. One year it was ok as it is a work of fiction and within a year he was unable to discern fiction from factual events. sad. Naturally me & kids just kept watching as he walked out for some jw thing as usual.

  So glad I never allowed them near a kh! They know full well it is a cult and hope and pray he will leave the cult someday.

  Have you noticed the common practice is to knock indivual's self esteem?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in another thread, one of our members made a comment that caught my attention.. i have been trying to put my finger on a practice amongst the org and witnesses in general.... as soon as someone does something well, accomplishes something, or excels at something, the atmosphere effectiveley 'kicks them in the gut' to bring them down.. anything that makes a person grow or develop is blatently discouraged and therefore self esteem is squashed!.

  the constant message telling a witness to be 'humble' is designed to suck any sense of growth or 'betterment' out of a person..... therefore this leaves the average witness to be a blubbering mess of insecurity and instability completely dependant on the organization...kind of like a 'battered-wife' scenario.... .

  I have not been keeping up with the weekly mind numbing soul bashing literature but I don't need to, just noticing my jw's demeanor lately and I can tell they must be on a kick of browbeating their people, again.
