  there is a lot of talk on here about the wtbts a money making organisation.. maybe, but who is this money going to?.

  like a friend "in the truth" lol said, it's all put back into the work.

  and who would want to be a missionary, they don't get any money out of the society etc etc.. so who reap the rewards here then?

  JW's to stop the preaching work??

  by awol in

  my mum went round to my jw sisters the other day and she said she had some exciting news.

  my mum has fallen away and the rest of us kids don't go (either fallen away or d/f'd).

  she then asked her husband if she could tell my mum... and they informed her (with huge big grins) that the preaching work is soon to stop.

  JW says the end of religion is beginning to happen!

  when talking to my jw friend.... she asked me if i had seen the news about businesses now not putting up xmas deco's etc.

  this is so as not to offend people of other religions ie jw's and muslims etc.. she said this is going to lead to (a start of) the banning of all religions worldwide!?.

  i said i think it shows more tolerance and respect for other religions.... that is not how she sees it (or any other jw's that have been discussing it).. what are your thoughts on this.

  family disowning you!!

  by awol in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  after 8 yrs not being a jw (not dfd just left)... my b.i.l has decided for the good of his family that they are not to associate with me!

  my sis was like my best friend, and now .... after they had marital difficulties (which he knows only the half of, cos she has kept her mouth shut) he has now become a mini man!!

  he has told my sis and my beautiful nieces and nephews that they cannot associate or speak to me at all.
