Why the so formal attire?

by greendawn in

having visited various churches i have seen that many of their members are casually dressed while worshipping.

the contrast with the jws is great, why do they always have to be formally dressed in their suits and anyone wishing to dress casually is frowned upon?

it goes to show how pharisaic and controlling the cult is.

( I guess wearing a suit makes you look more honest )
Yep it does. Just take a good look at all the politicians. LOL

bear with me please.

a lot on my mind.

skip to the last couple of red paragraphs if you dont have time to read my ramblings.

Just keep on dropping of the meetings make sure u do below 10hr ministry (u dont hav to go out, just lie so that they don't call on you to try and get u back being active) and you will be unwanted anyhow.

I kinda dropped out like a bomb and no-one talked to me, but then i was badly depressedand we all know how caring they are about that stuff.

Can you develop an illness?

There have been various threads on fading, some may be in the "best of" section I think, different things work for different people. Beware that regardless of what your friends say, they will probably shun you regardless, it's what they're programmed to do.

Why 6 Billion People Deserve to Die in Armageddon

by Leolaia in

jehovah is such a righteous, merciful, loving god -- slow to anger, overflowing with loving kindness and blessing.

yet it somehow bothers many of you that he will shortly execute his judgment on mankind and wipe out 99.9% of the world's population, as if that somehow is supposed to conflict with his loving qualities.

personally, i have no idea why many of you feel this way.

bluebell

Yeah it's just that the orders were posted in a basement with no stairs or something? so long since i read hitchhikers, or was it on the inside of a toilet cubical?

I loved the work Leolaia it was excellent - I never really looked at the pictures closely but it did always appear that most "bad people" seemed to wear bandanas too. Did anyone else notice that?

I disliked that, imagine the money parents had to spend kitting out ever growing kids in suits. And little girls (and the bigger ones too!) freezing in winter because trousers are frowned upon.

New Light Coming?

by dontomas in

hi - i have jw friends (really!

) and have gone to kh for some talks and study every couple of weeks.

things like the new watchtower policy, selling buildings (i am from nyc and know the heights well - that will make a boatload of money), the sex abuse settlements, drop in membership and donations, and some of the changes i have seen in the magazine (the annointed qfr, for example).

I think that because they have a grip on your familiy and your only friends, they can do as they please and people are too scared to lose everything.

Well I remember when I was 15 this guy who was 24 was after me. I thought he was just a nice guy, I kinda used him as a replacement for my bor who I was really close too and had just da'd himself and been kicked out. Anyhow, the WHOLE cong is discussing me and this guy and I just don't have a clue.

When I finally realised what was going on I freaked out big time and got absolutely no emotional support from my parents. They thought it was completely ok for a 24yr guy to be going out with a 15yr girl. I regret how I responded to the guy, he was genuinely nice and never ever treated me as anything but a friend, and was willing to wait until I was alot older. The whole cong thought I'd led him on, but I was just missing my brother, due to my father molesting me I just wasn't interested in guys in that way.

A few years down the line, I'd come clean about being molested, was very depressed and therefore obviously labelled bad association. I decided to make one last ditch attempt at being happy - figuring I just wasn't doing enough. Did loads of study and prayer and aux pioneered and applied for Bethel too. And was still seen as bad association. A bro I knew as a friend was warned off being a friend by an elder in his cong "due to what happened between her and her father has probably affected her spirituality" wtf? This guy was going out with one of my friends and i dont go around telling every tom dick and harry what went on in my past! I thought my father was in the wrong, not me and what ever happened to confidentiality?

So whichever cong I'd have gone to, this would have just followed me around. I'm glad I realised what was going on. My father protected and me labelled bad. I left.
