Witnesses are not and should not be judgmental?
by easyreader1970 infirstly, forgive me for not being able to quote the article directly.
i noticed it yesterday while sitting in the sunday indoctrination session.
the article for next weeks watchtower study talks about viewing other people as jehovah views them.

Sunday's public talk...
by kzjw inwent with the wife this week for the public talk (i simply will not sit through the watchtower study), the subject was about how poorly governments are taking care of thier people in disasters.
the speaker(who had a british accent) started by saying "burma(myanmar) had 2 tsunamis and the government sent flat screen tv's as aid for the refugees..." needless to say this dillweed lost me for the next 30 minutes of his talk about how man can't care for god's people.
i left during the study as always and returned at the end of the meeting, still burning over the glaring lie told by this "brother" which by the way no one even batted an eye in the congregation!

Why bad things happen to good people...
by milligal inone thing that jw's teach that i can't abide by is that god allows bad things to happen so that he can vindicate his name after satan challenged him in the garden of eden.
if you tell me that god is loving, than you cannot also state that he would allow an earthful of people to suffer starvation, cancer, war and countless other atrocities simply so that he feels better about being challenged.
he's god -right?

I need to vent
by insearchof intwo elders really annoyed me tonight.my husband was terminated from his job last week,so this week he's been doing odd jobs until his new job starts in two weeks.now the elders don't know that he is started a new job soon,so instead of asking him how everything is going the p.o asked my mom how she feels about her son in law losing his job and if everything is ok.why is it any of his business to know,and why ask my mom in the first place she doesn't know what goes on in our home.the another elder tells my husband that he needs to hurry up and find a job because the elders are watching him.what are they going to do df him for losing his job?what happened to the support that they are supposed to give us in our time of need?this whole org is a crock it's so freakin annoying.

watchtowers at my threrapist's office
by loosie inwhen i go to my threrapist's office, while waiting in the waiting room, i look for wts and awakes.
when i find them i write on them a website either this one or silent lambs or i just write "this group is a cult" across the front of it.. one visit i found like 12 wts.
i didn't have time to scribble a note on all of them before my therapist called me in.. well this week.

When witness familly members are difficult or abusive...feel free to vent
by milligal ini wanted to open this thread for discussion after reading some other posts which sound very similar to my own situation.
i wondered if anyone would like to share suggestions, vent and get it off their chest or respond to my own issue.. in my case, my parents are jw and are relatively easy to deal with outside of the fact that they seek me out and ultimately want to save my soul (an uneven relationship).
however my husbands parents-his mother in particular, is a pill!
