I Should Have Known Better Simply From.....

by OnTheWayOut in

watersprout

When i was 7 years old and out on calls with my mom ''cloversprout'' and beansprout...There was a ''sister'' who cloversprout used to take out on calls on a saturday...She was old and not very nice...We had been out all morning and it was past lunchtime...Cloversprout was trying soo hard to get her out the car and kept telling this ''sister'' that beansprout and i needed our lunch...I was moaning that i was hungry and thirsty and this ''sister'' turned around to look in the back of the car and told me with all the venom she could muster that ''God is going to kill you at armageddon, you are going to burn''...All because i was hungry and thirsty! I never spoke to that ''sister'' again...

Evil cult!

dub sayings

by inbetween in

"we can be glad to have such a great variety of spiritual food, just take a look at the nonsense in other churches".

"so many nice brothers, look forward to the new system, when we can all get to know them better".

"it was really a protection being raised in the truth".

''Think of all the wonderful multi racial picnics we can have with our wonderful brothers''... Bleugh!

Peace cause we really need it.

WT Society's Sly Guilt & Fear Tactics on Young People in Nov.15th WT

by flipper in

jw
friends

as many on this board are aware- the wt society is losing younger members in big numbers.

statistics show that 2 out of 3 jw's raised in the cult leave between the age of 18 to 35. so like they always do- if the wt society sees a " need " or " problem " arising they address it in wt study articles.

thus notice how manipulative the wt society uses fear, guilt, and put down type comments to intimidate young jehovah's witnesses in this wt study article in nov. 15th issue.. under the titled article " young ones - what will you do with your life ?

*shudders* That article took me back to being a witness!

hey guys, well, idk where to turn to at this point, but i feel like pouring my heart out to a random people, so please hear me out.. .

okay, so i have been online dating, for um, about a year or two, i am 15, and i am not sure if any of you have heard the "sixth sense" i have that, and i feel i can trust this dude, so i am sure he is who he says he is, i don't have any bad vibes about him...except he's an athiest :( but other than that, he is a really nice guy, we have started dating this month.

yes, we have cybering, but not much, and no, we dont send any explicit pics and we're both virgins.

I agree with AGuest on this...You really don't know who are yet...I met Carrot when i was 18, I am now 30! I am a completely different person to the girl i was when i was 18...By the time you are 18 you will have changed soo much...

Just worry about enjoying every minute of your teenage years and getting to know the beautiful girl that you are...

Peace and light

Question for current and former elders

by GrandmaJones in

.

i am curious.

were (are) there certains ones in the congregation that elders do not offer counsel to because of family ties, connections, or that the families or characters within that family are outspoken?.

I know that strange people hard to deal with are often skipped so they don't have to deal with them.

LMAO! We NEVER got a shephering visit! Thats the reason why... Lol...

Headship! I HATE that word...When Carrot and I first got married we had a lot of Bro's say that i was to humbly give my opinion and let Carrot make the final decision, and that as Carrot was my head I had to do as he said! LOL! We took it a step further and i started to call Carrot ''Lord'' when around dubs. When asked why i called Carrot ''Lord'', Carrot told them it showed deep respect as Sarah used to call Abraham ''Lord''.... You could see the envy on the bro's faces as they thought we were serious...Wonder how many went home and told their wives to call them Lord! It amused us...We needed something to pass the time at meetings and on the ministry! Lol...

Leave it to Jehovah! GRRRRRRR

Peace and light
