Sorry to hear your great , great Grandmother had gotten killed. Same thing happened to my great great grandmother, she was killed by arabs in Israel.
What that sister said at that Jewish cemetary was disgusting and shameful, I don't blame you for wanting to beat her up.

there were anti-semites in at least 2 of the congregations I was in too and some were elders.
One of the things that led me to stop attending meetings was one of the elders & his wife who gave me rides to meetings. I could not stand listening to their hateful, ignorant remarks anymore and it did not matter to them that they were insulting me and my family.
One elder even told me that the Jews don't exist, that the Israelites were all killed thousands of years ago and left no desendents. I told him thanks for letting me know I and my family don't exist! So much prejudice and ignorance!

Mikado-
thanks for your post.
I did not face the same degree of anti-semitism in school my younger brother & sister did, and I felt like you. There are bigots of all kinds and not all gentiles are anti-semitic. I was not successful in convincing my sister of this however.
This post has caused me to see more anti-semitism than I had been aware of, but I'd like to think I was right.
James Brown-
what you write about Rabbis putting the whole world under a spell is rediculous.
I would not take anything you post as having any merit.
Ignorance must be the main reason why there is so much anti-semitism.
do you think they are zealous?.
happy, joyful?.
pessimistic, depressed?.
I wonder what they have planned for next year? As has been mentioned, what happens after all of the excitement about the Kingdom ruling for 100 years dies down?
What can they come up with to make 2015 "exciting"?

I am beginning to see from the posts here that my sister is right.

"And lets face it , the Jews are bad...but they're not like the POLISH...you know?'
What is THAT supposed to mean? I'm a Jew and many of my relatives came here years ago from Poland.
James Brown-
thanks for letting me know I rule the world and all its wealth. I guess that's why I can't even afford medical insurance. Where did all my money go? Oh yea, gentiles stole it.
What you wrote about world history and Jews controling the world and all wealth is both ignorant and offensive.
the influx of new posters made me wonder if the push to view jw.org is helping curious ones find this support site?.
please post whether you found jwn during an internet search or if someone told you about it.. i myself was directed here by a df'd family member once i shared my doubts with that person..
There was a link from Freeminds, something I had clicked on called JW Soup or something, the post directed me here.
i made a post a few days ago about stagnant jw growth at international conventions.
i also enjoyed reading analysis of the statistics from jwfacts.
what the watchtower claims and what the reality is, are two different things.
It made sense, all the other religions are wrong. The witnesses are preaching the good news of the kingdom and their literature is available everywhere, ... a number of factors that impressed me.
I trusted them too, never checked references, wanted it to be true.
I had friends in the congregation, loved recieving the new magazines and books....
but as the years went on with no armageddon in sight, friends moving away, meetings becoming more and more boring, seeing wrongdoing on the part of elders, etc , it finally started to have an effect and my eyes started to open a bit more and I started doubting more, I saw no evidence of Jehovah's spirit in the congregation.
I gave up going BEFORE really finding out the tatt. And like you kneehighmiah, I think back and wonder why I could not see what was so obvious to others who were not jws.
the watchtower study to be considered this sunday, august 3, 2014 (using the magazine dated may 15, 2014), titled are you moving ahead with jehovahs organization?, in paragraph seven (on pages 27-28), talks about the number of people baptized in recent years:.
7 where do those making up the great crowd come from?
they are being brought together because of what jesus foretold as part of the sign of his presence.
As time goes on the increases in Publishers become smaller. Yet the wt says Jehovah will speed it up as we get closer to the end.
We must not be close to the end based on the increases! LOl !
