Elders Contempt for the Old & Disabled

by LittleSister in

as they get older many loyal jws find it hard to get to the meetings due to poor health and disability , my mother falls into this category.

there are also others who are disabled or unable to physically be at meetings from time to time.

for many years our congregation taped the meetings and distributed these tapes so all could enjoy the spiritual food of the meetings.

TroubledMind :

I hear you, and really understand where your coming from, I'm sorry about your experiences

My Dad is going thru the same thing, Mom died 1 1/2 year ago, and the witnesses are interested in just two things.

Get to the meetings, and record your time.

B*****ds !!

A "Brother" wore a WT logo tie tack today

by JerkhovahsWitless in

after the meeting, a few people came up to show me some fake love like the wt lesson instructed (this is my 4th meeting in a row in over a year of not going, yuck!!).

i noticed one of them was wearing a tie tack of the watchtower logo.

its ok to idolize, by wearing, the corporate symbol of a worldwide multi-billion dollar company, but a cross is wrong?

Thank you everyone who contributed a story, or opinion here.

Forwarded JW email: proof of the Nephilim!

by JimmyPage in

jw

and the bible again was right.... all the ones who are familiarized, with the bible know about the nephilim.

as related in the bible, these man of ancient times, apparently descenced from the heavens (they were angels), having been atracted by women on the earth....for that reason they took form of men, abandoning their original spiritual nature.

that bible account, leaves many perplexed, which is very understandable, if you don t believe in god, but now archaeologist, have found rest of abnormal big skeletons....what at least make you think of the accuracy of the bible.. .

10 people like this !

After looking over some of the comments, I felt a little sick.

After being out of the jw orginization for over two years, I just cannot believe that I actually believed this type of thinking for soooo long.

Does anyone have a facebook site for jw's that makes your skin crawl ?

Help needed: Watchtower boastfulness

by kurtbethel in

i need a collection of watchtower quotes that are boastful.

i guess my problem is that there are so many of them that i don't know where to start.

also, boastfulness can be subjective.

Great thread

Only Jehovahs witnesses can be so proud of their hypocracy !

Did You Feel Let Down By Jehovah & The "Brothers"?

by minimus in

jw
friends

did you find yourself disappointed in your life as a jehovah's witness?.

lancelink

Yes I did,

i always heard from the platform, "reach out for greater privileges and you will be blessed"

For several years I made a focused effort to reach out for more responsibilities, and priveleges and realized that it was

like putting a carrot before a cart horse.

Bro elder : you need to work on your answering at the meetings.

Me : Alright, ( next several months improved, and also improved service, family study,assisting literature servant who never did anything, and

helping others in the hall who were old and needed help.)

Six months later,

bro. elder: well, you have a great reputation, and have improved in spiritual matters, but we have noticed that you don't have all your literature

studied (meaning underlined) for each meeting. So why dont you work on that, and we will review your qualifications the next CO visit?

Six years of this game and I realized that as long as I did not become a part of their "good old boys" club my position in the hall would not change.

It was very dissapointing to me, i really was trying to do better, but the boe self-imposed glass ceiling prevented many brothers who were qualitied from reaching out. Family ties, business dealings, were more important than real spiritual qualifications
