Yea luckily I had one long talk with my Mom where I convinced her that I felt she was a wonderful parent and that I knew she did everything she did out of love. One argument I use with my Mom about me never coming back to the org is asking her if after figuring out for her self that her old religion was wrong if she could ever go back. She said no so I asked how could I possibly do the same?

It's always the parents fault
by Burger Time ini am sure this topic has been covered but i was thinking about it today.
how parents have it about the worse in the org.
for any of us that have publicly left or spoken out against the wts with our parents the reaction is almost always the same, "i have failed as a parent".

The Clicks
by reficul inanyone want to share their expierences on the clicks that would form in your meetings.
usually in my meeting they were started by the children of the so called elders.
freaking hipocrits, and spreading rumors and judging people all the time.

Yea you mean Clique....we had three distinct ones. The Elder's kids, the bad ones (this was the one I was in) and the poor kids.

The saddest thing is that they could have avoided all of it if they practiced what they preached.

I am sure this topic has been covered but I was thinking about it today. How parents have it about the worse in the org. For any of us that have publicly left or spoken out against the WTS with our parents the reaction is almost always the same, "I have failed as a parent". It's amazing that the JW society gets away with speaking out of both sides of their mouth. We have free will, but if your children get to the point of free will and leave it is you the parents that are to blame. I know it's only natural for a parent to want whats best for their child and blame themselves if the child doesn't do what they feel is best. But it seems to happen more in the org because of the emphasis on parents forcing their kids to do certain activities. Hopefully this will change as more and more kids seem to be leaving or so hot/cold with the org.

(Doubting Thomas) Disfellowshipped?
by inbyathread inlistened to a nice sermon last sunday.
had many nice parts to it to think about but one point had me enthralled.. and occasionally, somebody skips the service.
that happens from time to time, right?

I think they get out of it by changing the context. They say it is in there as a warning that we should not doubt. It doesn't matter how Thomas was treated.

Well even in Rutherford's time investors paid in and were able to vote on things. So the key elements of how it started were not based on donations per say. I am just being devil's advocate on how they could honestly argue out of the donation element.

Why don't Elders who are sick and elderly ever step down?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inin my 35 years as a witness,there have been many elders in my congregation who were old,sick,tired,weak,and could hardly walk.
they had a hard time reading the material,couldn't remember names, and sometimes forgot where they were in their reading material and talks.they never stepped down as elders.. what are the reasons why most never step down?
can they be asked to step down because of age?

This may not be technically true Alpaca. Russel was the first to invest in to his own missionary which then became the WTS and he invested ALOT. That being said they could use the argument that it was used from stock funds and other diversified investment that are not part of the R&F contribution. It would be a stretch but it could be true.
