Why THAT talk? Why NOW?

by dubstepped in

in another thread there's a discussion about how the show must go on and meetings weren't even slowed down by the deaths or medical emergencies of ones in the audience.

for instance, one young brother's unbelieving father was murdered locally.

not long afterward he's assigned a part on an assembly about the resurrection or something.

Its the luck of the draw, plain and simple.

her: "i'm really going enjoy talking to young billy about his masturbation problem".

him: "yes, we don't him to turn out out gay, we want him to have a happy marriage filled with hours and hours of reading propaganda together.

even the stuff that is in no way applicable to our lives.

What the Org Teaches #9 There are TWO classes of J.W's

by The Searcher in

#9 there are two classes of j.w's.

's worldwide are deemed by the brooklyn hierarchy as not being righteous enough yet, and as such, are unfit to be called god's children - unlike the hierarchy.

they claim that the riff-raff will take another 1000 years to achieve the same degree of righteousness and godly recognition which they have already been "blessed" with!.

When you put it that way, it sort of makes the Messiah's sacrifice into a Chinese menu, one from column A, one from column B. Their weird breakdown is typical. Remember, these are the people who brought us "Overlapping generations!"

Elders harassing me

by raven in

hi everyone, it has been a while since i've last updated!

(refer to my previous posts for the full story) here is a quick re-cap: 2 months ago my mother found out that i am living with my boyfriend, she told me i was discovered by an "anonymous" tipper who turned me in for "living in sin".. first of all, that is nearly impossible, the congregation i was in is 100's of miles away from where i currently live.. no one would have ever known i was living with my boyfriend unless i told them, which i never did, i cut off all communication with that congregation in part of my attempted fade which was blown into pieces and discovered.. anyways, my mom tells me if i don't go to the elders and confess like a good little sheep, then she is obligated to tell them.. ( don't see why, i don't even live under her roof ) well i never went to them because why should i?

so they met with my mother and she told them i live with my boyfriend... let me remind you, this was two months ago.. i was told i was going to be df'd and that was that.

DOUBLESPEAK and DOUBLETHINK among the WatchTower leaders and followers

by TerryWalstrom in

doublethink and doublespeak.

doublespeak among the leaders of the watchtower1.

jehovah has worked through one organization only to serve spiritual food at the “proper time.” (wt 1/15/88 p22).

It's just like Bullwinkle making a rabbit appear:

just wanted to say hello, i have been visiting this site for a very long time and i feel like i know so many of you already, now you can get to know me but for now i'm fading so i cant give my complete story.

i'm single but have "hardcore" siblings in the religion, thankfully i do have family who never expressed interest in the jws.

i really checked out years ago from to much mental abuse and no recognition for all that i gave to this organization.

Hope I have been of some help. Welcome... and stick around, here that is.

Bunker Video Sparks Family Drama!

by Wasanelder Once in

i guess you are guaranteed to survive the "great tribulation" if you don't be a "kevin".

my family members are doubling down on their fervor about meeting attendance.

they are having an effect on some of my wishy washy long time inactive family.

I guess you are guaranteed to survive the "Great Tribulation" if you don't be a "Kevin". My family members are doubling down on their fervor about meeting attendance. They are having an effect on some of my wishy washy long time inactive family. Its such BS. Things are now getting complicated since I am dead inactive. Screw them all. I am not giving up my peace of mind for their fake friendship and family fealty. I just wish my inactive family wasn't so convinced I am an apostate considering they have done EVERYTHING condemned in the bible as inactive ones. Maybe their conscience is bothering them? Anyone else feeling the push from the convention on their fade? GO KEVIN!

What would you like to have known about JWs before deciding whether to get baptised?

by slimboyfat in

if you could go back in time and tell yourself one thing about jws would you do it?

and what would you choose to say to yourself?

do you think you could have convinced yourself not to get baptised if you chose the right thing to say?

Wasanelder Once

I would have told myself to wait and watch to see if they really the identifying mark of "Love among themselves" that they tout so loudly. I would have explained "love bombing" and encouraged my younger self to see how its working out for newly baptized ones after they were dunked. Most of all I would have encouraged patience to see how it all functions. It would have helped I know it.
