  Spirituality ??

  by Blueblades in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why do the elders always equate meeting attendance and field service with the level of ones spirituality?i keep hearing them repeating,"we hate to see you lose your spirituality",by not attending the meetings and going out into the field service.the 1973 comprehensive concordance points to jude 19 as the only reference to the word spirituality.however in the 1985 ed.of the kingdom interlinear of the greek scriptures the actual word at jude19 is spirit not spirituality.jude19 remarks that one can lose god's spirit if one became " ungodly".the society deliberately transposes the word spirit to spirituality from the greek into the english new world translation.the reason i bring this subject up is because that's all i ever hear when you miss meetings and field service.not once has an elder used the scriptures to support that viewpoint or interpertation with me.since circumstances differ with all of us, how in the world can they make a such a blanket statement and a wrong one at that!?

  your thoughts please,blueblades.

  Even if I was sick and had to miss a meeting the lady who studied with me told me rather sternly that satan could attack me easier and my spirituality could suffer.I hate that mind-control crap.

  having a tight control over us, the watchtower teachings told us what jobs we could or couldn't have.

  did you lose a great job opportunity because of their control over you?

  Embarrassment

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at first, when you starting studying with the witnesses, were you ashamed of being part of that religion?

  were you afraid that your neighbors would see you leave all dressed up with a suitcase?

  how about at work, did you reveal to your colleagues that your were a witness?.

  I always got embarrassed around the holidays because I had to be different.Like the time the hairdresser asked me if I was ready for Christmas and I didn't have the nerve to tell her I didn't celebrate.I said something like"Not quite yet".Then I felt guilty afterward.I always hated being in a situation like that.

  What is the bad you all share

  by TisInYourWishbone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing that is categorically true of associations, clubs, congregation and is particularly true of jw's and ex -jw's is that their constituents, members, followers have common traits.

  .

  what are these traits that can be considered negative amidst the jw's and the ex-jw's.
