  Dec.15th WT -WTS Expects JW's to Preach Despite Chronic Illness - Sick !

  by flipper in

  2. friends

  in the dec.15th jw only version in an article titled " do not let illness rob you of joy " it promotes being a martyr in jehovah's witnesses preaching door to door in spite of debilitating and often life threatening illnesses .

  ask yourself if jesus would have stood with a whip to the back of his disciples if they had these illnesses or medical conditions ??.

  under the subheading entitled " they keep preaching despite chronic illness " with pictures of these alleged sick people sharing how they " sacrifice " to spread the wt society's message i will share the quotes with my takes.. izabella who suffers depression states, " i like the door to door ministry , but when i am not feeling up to it , i engage in telephone witnessing.

  like many of you i am fading and am trying to stay the course rather than be dfed due to family ties.

  but i so badly want to simply write a letter and be rid of this giant weight on my back lately.

  just like a bandaid that is easier to just tear off, i guess.. .

  SURVEY: How many who are still "IN" are really out mentally (Do I need to put " S E X " in the Title to increase the number of hits on it?)

  there was quite a debate on another post about the increase/decrease throughout the wt history surrounding 1975 and subsequent time periods when ther have been major adjustments in doctrine.

  it was said that the stasticis from 1965-1985 do not reflect a massive defection, despite the failure of the wt's prophecy for the end of the wicked system of things by 1975. .

  i see the overlapping generation as another potention issue to cause fallout.

  Paladin was a lawman for hire on the TV show called 'Have Gun Will Travel' acted out by Richard Boone. The series ran from 1957 to 1963. The first and second years were good. Richard Boone was a good actor and died of throat cancer. So sad.

  Why Are So Many Witnesses So Weird?

  by minimus in

  i believe that in every hall there are a number of weird jws.. we had some that were (and still are) 65 year old mama's boys.

  they never got married, weren't gay, just weird.. we had old brother stevenson that used to yell at everyone if they didn't accept a book!.

  we had our share of weird elders that were always looking into world events and saying this proves bible prophecy--when in fact, it had nothing to do with it!.

  I was thinking of cognizant dissidence as being a problem. We have two weird individuals in our hall complex and I avoid them.

  we know that the wbts owns a huge amount of real estate.

  they are selling properties in brooklyn and they are immersed in money.

  plus, they are always mentioning how easy it is to pay them cash or with checks or credit cards and even debit!
