  Today if I think of the flesh and how i would like to sin I firstly think of sex. Adultery. Then I think of drunkeness and gambling and gluttonly ect. But mostly sex.

  Adam sinned by eating some fruit. But unless he wanted to f*ck his kids or a Gorilla there was no extra sex. No bars to go to. No gambling. Of course he could eat alot of extra fruit . We know what that would do. But no Pizza, No Beer. No fun.

  What a waste.

  He gave up everything for an extra piece of fruit and watching his wife cover her nakedness.

  did you ever tell the elders that you knew of "wrongdoing" or that you knew a certain person wasn't adhering to the rules?.

  "Guilt. Being raised with nothing but guilt isnt healthy."

  I just wanted to clarify what I meant.

  I feel as a JW I grew up feeling guilty if I ate certain types of sweets. (It was thought they may contain blood.) I felt guilty if I didnt tell the kids i was a JW and use every opportunity to witness to them. As a kid I felt guilty if I wasnt scrupulously honest even to my detriment although Abraham didnt. Ect.

  I found out my own brother had behaved in a bad way. But I knew of the crap Elders hid, appointed by Holy spirit.

  I find I often suffer from "guilt" feelings. When I was a JW and expressed my views to friends, many nights I couldn't sleep as I went over and over the things I'd said.

  Should you feel guilty for someone elses sin?

  I feel bad enough about my own.

  The only time I ever went to the Elders about somebody sinning was when I knew it was in the Elder body and they were not acting.

  My father who served as an Elder told me (years later) of a young sister that was raped in front of others and nothing was done. The Elders felt her father would have killed the brother, so they suggested more field service for the brother.

  Reminds me of the Clint Eastwood film "High Plains Drifter"

  I agree with you but I have found that there is one rule for the publisher and another for the Elders and their friends.

  Guilt. Being raised with nothing but guilt isnt healthy.

  Most people in the congregation gloss over there sins. Elder bodies are good at covering over their sins.

  Contribution Boxes At The Book Groups , Did You Donate More There Than The Hall ?

  by Hairyhegoat in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this may have been covered a few years back but the thought came to me just how much money the wathtower lost in contributions when they got rid of the book study groups in witnesess homes.

  my book group was at my parents house and as it was always full, over 30 drones every tuesday night.

  this caused mayhem in the road outside with all the cars double parking etc... the jw's at my group always put loads of wonga into the tin on the welsh dresser!

  Yes I remember pre group witnessing I actually quite liked it. Evening witnessing was quite good, at one time we went out two evenings a week.
