  I Hate the Sound of the Word Jehovah

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  listening to clips of the latest manipulative video from the watchtower i realised how much i detest that word - jehovah.. sometimes i have thought it would be interesting to observe a meeting or part of a convention.

  every time i heard that word i would be unable to stay in my seat.. i have a visceral reaction every time i hear it.

  it stands for so much that i have contempt for.

  i have not said much to my youngest two kids about the jw crap ones 10 the other 5 .

  anyway ive become an athiest and have studied alot about ancient religions.

  Tell a child what to think and they will never learn how to think. Teach them to think and you have done your job as a father well.

  Farewell

  "don't be dismayed by good-byes.

  a farewell is necessary before you can meet again.

  and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

  i am wondering if my deceased elder father was awake?

  once we found out he was dying, i spent every moment i could with him, we were very close.

  anyway, i offered to read to him a lot when he was resting.

  I'd say he was either fully awake or least doubted the WTS.

  Special Pioneer Couple Living at a Kingdom Hall In Miami FL, get the dreaded Letter

  by James Jack in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just got a phone call from an older sister saying that a couple that got re-assigned from bethel 4 years ago to live at their kh apartment as special pioneers, just received a letter saying "as of january 2016, your special pioneer assignment will be discontinued".. they live in a south miami kh(snapper creek congregation).. this couple had only served in bethel for 15 years before they were sent out into the special pioneer work.

  they are now in their mid 50's and the sister said that they have to find part time jobs to support themselves.. the older sister (does not have a pc or internet), says that the couple are just devastated!

  I remember being told as a kid that a career in Jehovah's organisation was a career for life and forever!

  I am glad I decided to study chemistry and then get an MBA. I'd be well and truly screwed now if I took the advice of the CO's......

  Why wouldn't any intelligent person accept the fact of evolution??? There is more evidence for evolution than any other scientific theory I can think of.

  Mephis - do you remember when Poole council used anti-terrorism laws to spy on parents who they believed did not live in a school catchment area? This is why you can't trust the government to use they data they obtain for our benefit only..
