  Closure and the death of JW family/friends

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a few threads recently made me think of how cruel jehovah's witnesses are in shunning around death.

  i don't have much experience with death.

  i lost my non-jw grandpa when i was 12 (?

  Like all situations, each family practices things in the JW world according to their own dysfunction. My mother's memorial brought out a softness in the family towards my disfellowshipped brother, who is a truly evil person. He was allowed at the home afterwards as well. This I know is not typical, but it happens. Its the one time I wished they kept the disfellowship rule, oddly enough.

  You might be a Jehovah's Witness if.......

  by Sour Grapes in

  2. beliefs

  you might be a jehovah's witness if, to not feel guilty on saturday morning, you ride in a car with a group of adults driving in circles around town taking turns to get out one at a time to knock on a door that you hoped no one would answer.. you might be a jw if going on vacation meant going to a summer regional or district assembly where you did not need to pack shorts, tennis shoes, or tank tops.

  .

  you might be a jw if for lunch at the summer convention you and your family ate breakfast food from the holiday inn where you are staying for the summer assembly.. you might be a jw if the first thing that you think about when waking up in the morning is that it is meeting night.. you might be a jw if you introduce a person to another jw, not by the person's name by as my bible study.. you might be a jw if you don't celebrate christmas but will take the money from your employer to not come to work so that you can celebrate it..

  i am not a jw.

  my mother in law is.

  my husband is not a jw, but he did attend with her through his child years and teen years but stopped once he was 15. his mother never made him or his siblings attend if they did not want to.i am trying to understand this organization to understand my mother in law better.

  Your mother in-law would be told its propaganda from Satan.

  It means injustice. There must be two witnesses to an accusation, as per a warped biblical interpretation. (Almost never happens). Unless there are two witnesses to the molestation there can be no action of censure by the congregation toward the accused. This results in the vilification of the accuser if they refuse the counsel to NOT talk about it again, instead they are told to wait on God for justice because "He knows". This is true no matter how old the victim is. Until recently Elders did not report to police any accusation. They still are told to call the headquarters legal department for advice before acting on any accusation.
  

  Often victims who speak out are expelled from the congregation and perpetrators go unidentified or expelled. Go to YouTube and search Australian Royal Commission on Child Abuse. It will shock you.

  My JW Elder Brother Passed Away

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  he was basically a good man, just a believer in the religion.

  when we were both elders we were best of friends and then things deteriorated when i was not an elder for a while.

  then after becoming an elder again, i slowly drifted away from the religion and he drifted further away from me.

  Germs; from demons.

  Aluminum; from demons

  Vaccinations; from demons

  anyone recognize a pattern? What should we have expected next?
  

  Birthdays; from demons

  xmas; from demons

  It all stems from crazyass 1900's fanatic Bible Students. Self righteous fools.

  Highlights from Leaked Bethel Videos - part 5, Bethelite experiences

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  then there was an interview with two longtime bethelites who were both asked about defining moments in their service.

  the woman mentioned studying the so-called "deep" publications, and they showed these two on screen.ironically the one on the right was the book famous for saying the end would come in 1975, but that went over everybody's heads.

  she also mentioned the day when the gb announced that multiple longtime bethelites would be "reassigned" aka canned.

  Think about this! All the signs of the last days from Matt.24. That jw's point to,  happened in the 1st half of the last century!

  That is a point well taken. The Amish are still in horse drawn buggies. Imagine if JW's were to be known for revering a series of conventions in the 1920's as fulfillment of Revelation! What if people found out that they built a house in San Diego for Abraham and his buddies? Credibility out the window my friends. ...and don't forget that aluminum is from the Devil.

  If he is who I think he is, he was a DO in the U.S. and a right prick. Never was there a more rude and self righteous prick in the WT cult.

  So let me get this right about what your saying about Jesus!

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jesus the non judgmental man who ate with sinners, fed the hungry, showed compassion for the poor, and who wanted mercy not sacrifice is the going to be leading the charge out of heaven with fire in eyes and out for blood.

  killing 99.9 % of all men, women and children on earth.

  because they didn't heed some obscure religious group that hadn't gotten one bible prophecy right in almost 150 years?!
